| For me, it started off around the time when I was 13/14 and had been listening to various songs from this one Air Guitar CD (which included Motorhead and Metallica). I soon ended up listening to early Machine Head, Sepultura and Metallica a few months after my 14th birthday. A few months after that, I was listening to Deicide, Nile, Dying Fetus, Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Slayer and Pantera. On my 15th birthday I first heard black metal in the form of Mayhem and Darkthrone, and soon after bought more and more. |

When I was 8 my sister's boyfriend listened to bands like Rage against the machine and Metallica, so I listened to that. At that point I just listened to whatever they listened to, music wasn't that interesting at that age.
When I was a bit older I listened to bands like The prodigy and The offspring. And metal started at the age of 11/12 in 1998 when I met someone at high school into metal. He introduced me to bands like Sepultura, and also to a national aired metal radio show (Metalopolis) and a CD shop in town who carried loads of metal. After a few years I started exploring the metal underground. |

| Kiss' Destroter lp in the late 70's. Def Leppard, Priest, Iron Maiden, Quiet Riot in the early 80's, then I heard Master of Puppets and Reign in Blood. Then Death, Blood Feast, etc. So basically, Kiss started it all for me. |

My brother used to shoplift tapes from the Wherehouse. He like Rush and old Judas Priest. The tape he hated was SLAYER's 'Show No Mercy'. "It sounds like noise", he said. I put it on and loved it!
I got my first paycheck around 1985 and promptly bought 'Speed Kills' and 'Morbid Tales'.
I've been hooked on Thrash ever since... |

Unknown to most, but they sure are very famous in Euskadi! I'm probably a little older than you, and grew up listening to Eskorbuto, Kortatu, R.I.P., etc. among others... I still love a lot of original RRV bands!
I guess I first heard Van Halen on the radio when I was 11. I was into Duran Duran and Depeche Mode, but soon enough this classmate introduced me to both punk and metal. Circa 1985-1986 he lent me tapes of Metallica, Slayer, GBH, Exploited, Bérurier Noir (famous French punk), Exodus, Spanish/Basque punk, etc. There was no looking back, I was hooked to fast/loud/angry music. In early 1987 we both started our first punk/metal zine (we hardly knew what a zine was, we were 13 and totally clueless youngsters living in rural southwestern France). Within a couple of years I had started trading tapes and writing tons of mail to people all over the world and got heavily involved in the underground death metal network -- did a few zines, etc. |
Heh yeah, i know lots of them! Sure you are little bit older, Kortatu is too old for me.. can we say La Polla, S.A... hehe sure you know em. |

Those were the days of Metal, no other music shits, maybe DURAN-DURAN or NKOTB were hot for assholes back then, but not for me! Haha!!!! |
This is one of my really old tapes from the early beginning : METALLICA "Master of puppets"

Quite the same over here... Haha, an ol' buddy and me were bycicling the 20km to a small town nearby to buy "Use Your Illusion I + II" on tape. Great time! Later we were a couple of guys in school who encountered the extreme realms of Metal in the early/mid nineties. But the actual starting shot was my very first concert in 1994 as that was the first contact with the underground and the whole tapetradin'-collecting records-thing began.
A flyer of this mentioned concert...

That's exactly my story (with more emphasis on Maiden though) except it came a bit later being 20 years ago. |

I staill have some of those tapes I recorded off the radio in 93-96 - they still stand up pretty well and I think I was lucky to be exposed to such extreme stuff without actually having any freinds who were into it. |
Would that radio show have been Nocturnal Dominion? |

I got into metal very early and by complete accident.When I was 7 I bought KISS 'Rock & Roll Over'.I thought they were superheroes.When I was 8 I bought BLACK SABBATH 'WE Sold Our Souls For R&R' by accident as well.I thought it was aKISS record because of the lightning bolt 'S'.I remember being terrified when I put it on and the intro to 'Black Sabbath' kicked in.My terror kicked into overdrive when I opened the gatefold sleeve and saw the dead lady in the coffin holding a cross.It's been all downhill since then. |
