Tue Nov 28, 2006 5:54 pm Post subject: How did you get into metal? |
 
|
oh yea, the forum is kinda dead and i couldnt find a topic about that so ill just make one. Its just a question and i think its always interesting to see how other people got into it.
Well i always liked guitars, drums and loud vocals. I always listened to AC/DC when i was 6 years old (yea couldnt get something different, living in a house full with hip hop gangstas sucks) and i always thought something like "its nice, but still too soft." Later i started listening to System of a Down, was probably the first band i really liked back then. The older albums. They arent too soft and not too hard. Kinda decent for a 10 year old kid  Then slipknot, but i never really liked them, they always looked like fags in my eyes. I still listen to some of their songs but actually i hate them.
Then i started listening to Korn, i still like Korn alot, bash me for it if you want  But yea, SOAD was too soft, Korn was only good for the times i was depressed, so i had to get something new. Like Cannibal Corpse. Took me a while to like grunts, but yea it worked out. When i first heard a Death Metal song i knew it was exactly what i looked for. The guitars, heavy, nice and muted sometimes. The drums are blasting. The vocals are aggressive and loud =) I think my biggest problem was, i didnt know any good bands back then.
Like i already said, i listen to Korn, SOAD, Marilyn Manson, Death and Black Metal. The Death and Black Metal bands listing would take too long, lol. But now i also found alot of new bands, thanks to this radio. Then again, i wonder if anyone will read this and understand my shitty english.

Hej,
Well in the early 90's I used to hear songs from the black album on the radio. Bought it, then master of puppets followed.
After that I bought some iron maiden and megadeth cd's.
I was curious when I saw the first blackend compilation for sale, so I bought it (it was pretty cheap too)
My first song with grunts must have been by sepultura, which I thought extreme by then.
I also discovered helloween somewhat in the same time, and also got into german heavy/speed then.
I still like all I named here, except -of course- the new stuff by sepultura and metallica :/ |

Hmm I think I put my metal-story anywhere in the forum already but wtf, here we go again. I got interested in "harder" music through some interviews and pictures; the next step was to look at the old MP3.com homepage and search for some music. My first picks were Amorphis, Six Feet Under, Cannibal Corpse and King Diamond. After their songs (Amorphis: Black Winter Day, Black Embrace, The Brother Slayer, The Way, The Pilgrimage; Six Feet Under : Human Target, War Is Coming, Bonesaw, No Warning Shot; Cannibal Corpse: Pounded Into Dust; King Diamond: The Trees Have Eyes) I went more and more into Metal and found new interesting bands also daily. Did take a while till I bought their albums; took also some more years to get into really extreme metal (well you need to develop a "special type" of hearing).

For me it was always there. I was brought up listening to some cheesey old stuff like Queen and the Beetles. Then I saw and heard Iron Maiden......and so it began!
From there I got into the 'lighter' side of rock! That didn't last long as by the age of 12 I saw and bought Reign in Blood on vinyl. My family hated it! I loved it. Pissing them off with Angel of Death etc. I also got into the main thrash of Anthrax, Megadeth and Metallica.
Then in 1990 someone introduced me to Entombed and Therion. It spiralled out of controll until about 1993 when death metal seemingly died and got boring. I heard 'A Blaze in the Northern Sky' about this time and I got well into Black Metal. I sent hate mail to the local Vicar and some church goers - like you'd expect an influential kid to. I even got busted at college burning bibles from the hall of residence! They objected to the fact that it was next to a massive shed full of straw and a Diesel tank! 
Then I calmed down and saw the music for what it was, left all the ideology behind and just got on with enjoying the music. |

I got into metal when i was 9 or 10 i liked the Eddy drawings on Maiden records (thats right records) the first metal album i listened to and loved was piece of mind (which i borrowed from the public libary the same for the next one) them live after death by Maiden. My mom had a fit and that was that....in 6th grade i was with my buddy and his mom at a burger king drive through when she saw a tape laying on the ground (the case and all) so i jump out and get it its Slayer Regin in Blood that was it from there out it was all metal for me that tape didnt leave my walkman for 6 months so thats my little tale.

1) It started in 1986 with Europe's The Final Countdown. (huh huh)
2) Bon Jovi and AC/DC in the same year.
3) I saw the videoclip Can I play with madness (Iron Maiden)
4) Every sunday I watched Headbangers ball... with Vanessa Warwick (Before that it was a show with two brothers, I even saw Adam Currie before on the Ball!)
5) I saw the world première of Metallica's One on the Ball...: Metallica fan for live since 1988
6) On the ball there was a little space for 3 Death metal clips per week.
7) I wanted more... a death metal fan was born!
8) .... since 1992.... |

I've actually been listening to metal ever since I was 6-7 yrs old. It all started when we visited friends of my parents. Little did we know that their son would grow up to be the singer of a band called Axamenta 
Anyway, back then I was always listening to the mainstream songs but he put on Metallica's ...And Justice For All. From the second "Blackened" really kicked in, I was sold. Afterwards, Peter (that's his name btw) made me a cassette with what I would call a best off, it featured songs like One, Harvester Of Sorrow, Fade To Black, Battery, The Four Horsemen,...
While listening to this cassette, I started getting really interested in metal, getting into the whole '80s metal-scene (with Metallica, Megadeth, Guns & Roses, ...). Then while I reached a certain age
(  ) I listened to Korn's first album and it blew me away. I had never heard such a heavy sound before and I was hooked on the whole nu metal-thing. (Guess what age I was? )
What I've always wondered but never could answer, I always wanted something more extreme: from Korn to Slipknot, from Slipknot to Cradle Of Filth, from Cradle Of Filth to the "true" Black Metal and so on. Altough I have to admit, while listening to mostly Black Metal, I started getting interested in Death Metal (Cannibal Corpse, Bolt Thrower, Amon Amarth and the likes). Then came the Thrash-period with mostly Slayer, Testament, (old) Metallica again, Kreator, ...
Right now, I consider myself to be a very open-minded "metalhead" (altough I don't like to use that term). I can listen to some Kamelot, then some Dimmu Borgir, then Slayer, Gojira, Deicide, Iced Earth and so on... Most people here know I'm very open-minded, some say I'm too open-minded actually  |

You're kidding me, aren't you? Axamenta....  
niiiiccceeee!
I stumbled into metal when I was 10-11 years old, in 1996 (yep, to most of you I'm a young little boy)
I always had a lot of older friends, and, because I love any kind of music, they let me hear some metal. I guess the first thing of metal I heard was Slayer with Piece By Piece.
I started listening to the very common things in metal:
for Heavy and Power metal: Iron Maiden and similar stuff
Death: Possessed, Death, Master, Amorphis,...
Trash: Slayer, Kreator,...
Black: Venom
my only problem: I like too much kinds of music... and I can't stay up-to-date for all of them, I have like 800 metal-, punk and -corebands written down => worth a listen 
lately I'm most of all busy with Death, Drum 'n' Bass, Salsa and Trance
