I bought a CD player, I bought a 1st album on CD, Load, and it went on from there...

Is that strange, or is it just me?
That's pretty much exactly my story as well. Same age, same band too. But I bought Load, Reload, and Master of Puppets at the same time. Of course, I consider when I bought the book, Sound of the Beast, and just used that as a blueprint for listening to metal and downloading music pretty much all day every day to be the time I truly got into music. Before that was just the prologue.
