Most metal just gets too repetitive after 2 or 3 songs, in my opinion.

That is because Maiden is one of the best bands!!

Motley Crue, when "Shout At The Devil" came out. That was my first "Wow! What do we have here?" moment. Very quickly I branched out to Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, and the Dio albums of Sabbath.

Black Sabbath/Metallica.
Love them both to this day.

Guns N' Roses, and ever since then I have been hooked on metal.

I can't really remember a time when metal wasn't around. I guess its hard to say what the first I listened to and thats why its taken me so long to post here. I can remember growing up and my dad would stay up late at night listening to bands like Rush, Dio, Triumph, Sabbath, Bread, and Rainbow among a lot of others. My uncle used to take me all over the Puget Sound area and there was always good music playing. I guess I was born to listen to rock and metal. The first band that I was obsessed with was Guns n Roses. My sister used to listen to a lot of hair metal in the 80's, and not the decent stuff either. Her fav was Bon Jovi. A friend of hers passed along a copy of Appetite and she didn't like it enough and left it laying around. I must have been about 8 or 9 when I snagged from her. It was the most amazing thing I ever heard. I think I still have that cassette in a box somewhere. I've strayed from metal a few times, but always come back after a few weeks.

Don't tell me you still like GnR...

Yes I do, I still have every album. I can't say that I like every song, but I still have memories attached to a lot of them. There are also many songs that I still like.

What do you mean by that...? Are you insinuating that Guns and Roses is bad??

ProggyMan · 02-04-2008, 07:55 PM

If you replace bad with a much stronger word, then yes.
