I first really started listening to metal after my cousin started playing a bunch of Buckethead, Primus, Iron Maiden, Faith No More, and Metallica. Good stuff. Up to that point I'd only really listened to popular music, rap, and my parents' classic rock/pop. Eventually I got my hands on the internet, and I've been exploring music ever since.
