Nothing wrong with that.

Btw, played Dynasty last weekend and tbh it isn''t as bad as I thought it would be

It's not too bad, certainly nothing to be ashamed of haha

well it was their ''sell out" album where they cashed in wit on the disco trent of the late eighties

Yeah, but it's KISS and there's worse stuff out there I find it hard to not get at least some enjoyment from any KISS release hehe.

Of course you are probably wishing you were as badass as me and had KILL 'EM ALL as your introduction to metal

Oh there certainly are a lot worse Kiss albums out there than Dynasty, especially the ones without them wearing make up.

As for Metllica at least I was there to notice first hand the immense impact their No Life Till Leather demo and a little later their Kill '' em All debut had (unlike you) and also saw Metallica live with Cliff and seeing them play at clubs which could hold 1,000 poeple max

I was just teasing you, I figured that you would have had some awesome experiences seeing them emerge back in the day, as well as the whole thrash metal movement in general. It's awesome that you saw Cliff while he was still alive too... Damn, I wish I was born earlier

Still for a first metal album, Kill 'Em All was very influential to me, and I still find myself thrashing out to those tunes, the classics like The Four Horsemen and No Remorse. I read Dave Mustaine's book too and it's actually very interesting the impact he had on Metallica's early career

He didn't have as much impact on their early career as he makes it out to be in that autobiography. He immensely overstates his influence. Metallica were already up and running and quite well known in the underground (die to their track on Metal Massacre 1) before he joined.

I don't find it hard to believe that he overstates his influence in the book, as he made it out to be, a lot of career has been a competition with Metallica, and including parts in the book making it sound like he was extremely important to their early career was probably just another way of trying to get some leverage in the seemingly never ending battle. So there's bias for sure.

But on the other hand, one of the things he mentioned was his stage presence in those early days, and to an extent I have to believe what he is saying. Back then Mustaine was just a ball of energy and I can really see the flashy and energetic guitar style translating into a fiery stage presence, especially in his youth which was definitely full of it's fair share of debauchery and craziness. So, looking at things from both points of view, he probably made himself out to be a bit more important to Metallica than he actually was, but I don't doubt that back in the day his personality made for a dynamic stage presence and some exciting Metallica shows

(i could only find 1 track sadly. it's old released: 1993-01-06)

Mägo de Oz - Finisterra. A classic album. I still listen to this.

Master of Puppets

Written by masterguitar550 on 04.12.2010 at 20:58

But the main reason I got into metal was the videogame Brutal Legend.

This. I posted earlier a couple of albums that got me into metal, but this game is what got me progressively listening to the genre instead of just being a another genre of music to pick a couple of bands out of.
It's also the main reason I'm on MS now. So every admin I piss off has this to thank for it.

Vol3 by Slipknot. If they don't count, then Master of Puppets by Metallica or Reign in Death by SLAYER.

Hahaha. Well, he meant Reign In Blood

Eminem - The Way I Am (remix)

I'm not even kidding, I didn't care much about music back then and my sister was in her hip-hop phase, and there was this remix by D. Lohner featuring Marilyn Manson. That kinda started it all for me, I bought Antichrist Superstar shortly after and never looked back. Even if I don't especially like Manson anymore, I can't help but to have a soft spot for the Antichrist-Animals-Holywood trilogy.

Yeah, that's the one. Shame on me.

I had like a drawn out introduction, starting with Korn, Metallica's "...And Justice for All" and System of a Down (when I was in middle school), then freshman year of high school I discarded it all for prog when I heard Pain of Salvation's recently released 'The Perfect Element: Part I'. Senior year I finally understood extreme metal thanks to Opeth's 'Blackwater Park' and Immortal's 'Sons of Northern Darkness' (I know Opeth isn't really extreme, but it helped me ease into harsher vocals). So I loved metal for a long time, but each of these discoveries felt like entirely new genres.

I stole a tape from a local music seller in my area with a red hammer and blood on it. It was awesome. I played it for all my friends. I had no idea who the band was before this random occurrence - I just knew I wanted some new music and didn't want to pay for it. The tape case cover looked really cool. The album was Kill 'Em All. It had just been released.

Prior to that the heaviest music I had heard were albums such as Screaming For Vengeance and Blizzard Of Ozz.

Upon hearing Phantom Lord for the first time I pretty much sought out heavier and heavier forms of music - METAL music - and continue to do so.

Angra - Holy Land

I might've answered here before, but it was Metallica's And Justice For All, that is why it is so special for me, among other personal reasons. I think it was the first album that made me think about things in a very different perspective than I had up until that point.

I ended up listening to very different things and now my tastes are far removed from what I listened to at that time. I started with the heavier stuff, thrash, death, doom and then moved to melodic metal which is currently my favourite kind to listen to. But now I find myself going back to more extreme metal too. It's funny how that goes.

The first metal album I ever bought was (the very original choice of) Metallica's The Black Album. System of a Down's Toxicity was probably the second one, and around the same time. I didn't buy anything else by these bands until a couple of years later, but those albums were the introduction.

Iron Maiden's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son was the one that made me a fan, and it remains one of my favourite albums of all time. Actually, it's almost ridiculous how much that album (and the Maiden albums I went out and purchased in the following weeks) has influenced what I've listened to since - pretty much everything can be traced back to that.

Yeah man, the first time I've heard Death Metal sound and vocals (screams or growls), I was probably 13... I was kinda scared at first
but I guess thats what picked my curiosity and eventually it just became a natural sound to my ears. But I totally
get what you mean and I'm pretty sure we're not the only ones. Its not really an accessible sound, its an acquired taste.

It was actually the "Death Metal Essentials" thing on iTunes. But I think my first full album was either Opeth - Orchid or Anata - The Conductor's Departure.

Damn good album this one. I especially like Better Grieved Than Fooled.

The record that did it for me was Destroyer by KISS. First time I heard Shout It Out Loud I was hooked!!!
