My metal roots start when my dad gave me his “Paranoid” vinyl by Black Sabbath on my 10th birthday. I never heard anything like this, and I haven’t looked back since.
My journey began when I saw Cannibal Corpse - Wretched Spawn Special Edition with the Worm Infested EP at a local record store in 2004 and bought it just because of the art, having never heard CC at that point.
My journey started in 2011 when I was playing the Black Ops Zombies Easter egg song on the map "Kino Der Toten" called "115" and the rest is history, since then it lead me to bands like SlipKnot, Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine and Skindred. My taste in bands evolved so now I'm into bands like Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer Motörhead, Behemoth, Ghost, Sabaton, Amon Amarth, Machine Head, Mayhem and lots of other bands. I never forget my roots and I still listen to the music that lead me to my favourite bands as of this day. 🤘
Hell yeah man 🤘🏻
Same
Check out Deceased. As The Weird Travel On is a good starting point.
Bro listens to Ghost lmao 💀
@@Lucretia916 So what? Lmao
I love this video. So cool to hear people's stories like this. I obviously can't speak for everyone but these things warm my metal heart. Also I agree physical media still absolutely has a place. I just got the relapse release of Death - Human on cassette and I've listened to it every single day for the last week while driving to and from work and I love it and it definitely makes a difference. Same with my og copy if Peace Sells But Who's Buying from my dad on vinyl. Sitting next to the record player and reading the special thanks notes in the liner brings an extra little bit of joy to me.
Seeing physical media makes me way more happier than it being on my phone
Been a metalhead pretty much as long as I can remember.
All started with a rerun of an old sitcom featuring a snippet of Run To The Hills. My parents saw that I was into just that snippet and so introduced me to the likes of Judas Priest, Saxon and Sabbath but it wasn't until I got my first metal compilation cd with all the pocket money I had saved up I found about Maiden and my Dad said "yeah, that was on that TV show, the only time you put a goddamned book down was during that ten seconds of Run to the Hills!"
Then one summer, my older cousin held out his headphones one day and said "listen to this!" "This!" Turned out to be Slipknot!
My first metal magazines were old copies of Metal hammer magazine that my older cousin effectively stashed round our nan's to stop my aunt from tossing them in the trash!
My metal roots began with metallica 🔥
Wolf...your content is phenomenal. You my friend are an old soul. I don't know if they're considered Metal but my gateway drug was Kiss. I bought Destroyer in 1976 when I was 8. Like you,I studied the cover and liner notes over and over. As I got older,I got exposed to alot of bands and I would research and go deeper than the radio friendly stuff. I loved(and still do)the heavier, primitive Metal. I'm 53 and I still wear leather,studded belts,battle vests and bullet belts.For people like us....it's not just just a music scene,it's a lifestyle!!! We live it because we love it!!! They'll be hard patches....but if you it enough,you'll weather it out
When you mentioned being bullied by the teachers in school it reminded me of how I got bullied by teachers at my school who told me I looked like a girl (Actually, even though it was 1982-85 I looked more like a member of Motorhead,). They called me all kinds of names. Once, when I was playing Baseball, I overheard a teacher ask a question to which I answered. Seeing I was a member of said team. He said "I wasn't asking you." He and the students laughed at me so the next day I told the principal that the teacher propositioned me and offered to blow me. He got in hot water. I told the truth the following week. He begged me, crying, to tell the truth so I spared him.
😂
you are absolutfly right about media bombardment. that is why i went on to watching just one episode per week voluntarly.
i am 55 now and i have ben into Metal sence i was 15 so for me. Metal will never get boring to me, i have it in my heart my soul and my bones. i do understand what you are talking about WOLF. i have not reached my limit yet it never gets old to me. and i am only speaking for myself, i still think you are metal and brutal WOLF. and you rock 🤘
Me and you John have traveled the same road. We're the same age and I feel exactly like you do. Long live the Old Guard
Started with my dad playing Metallica's black album on repeat, then my friends at school introduced me to Slipknot, Disturbed, etc. Happened to hear Cradle of Filth one day when I was like 11 then got into extreme metal. Bought as much as I could get my hands on at my local store. Been a metalhead for about 17 or so years.
I saw Slayer so long ago that Kerry King still had hair and everyone knew that he was briefly in Megadeth. My publications were
Hit Parader
Metal Forces
Kerrang! (A British publication that was bi-weekly, where we put ads up to trade tapes. There was also a news story that Anthrax had parted ways with vocalist Neil Turbin and anyone.who wanted to audition should send a tape and photo). I did and lost out to Matt Fallon, who was fired 2 weeks later and replaced by Joey Belladonna.
I kinda started feeling like I was in a slump on my music. But last night oh boy last night really made me reconnect with my metal side. I went to the nekrogoblinkon show and got into 4 pits. And picked up a new patch for my vest. And I feel like a I'm just discovery metal all over again. It's a fresh start.
Thanks for sharing some of your memories with us. ✌
Some times you have to back to your Roots, bloody roots
Roots, bloody roots
Roots, bloody Roooaaaaaahh!
Also, I like your statement and super important point on over indulgence in media and go back to the basics when possible to appreciate things more. very good point!
Going back is certainly a perfect way to deal with metal slump. I was the same way as a kid - reading all the liner notes, indulging in the physicality, and just revisiting the bands that you strayed from as you started getting into more niche styles like underground black metal or whatever.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. For me, it all started when I first listened to Meteora by Linkin Park, which was gifted to me by my mom. And from there, I was hooked.
I would also say that I have been in a metal slump for a while but I don't see that as a bad thing. Metal music will always be there for me when I need it, but I've taken the time to explore new genres and find an appreciation for new music. Now I have a crazy mix of future garage, electroswing, punk and metal all in my playlist. And maybe some day soon, I too will need to go back to my metal/rock roots.
As far as I can recollect my memories:
- 1998: Werner - Beinhart! "Movie Soundtrack"
- 1999: Some cassette tape I found (maybe Van Halen or Metallica)
- 2003: Group essay about favorite band. I don't know any. Leader picks "Europe".
- 2004: SpongeBob: The Movie - "Goofy Goober Rock"
- 2005: "ACDC/Eminem - Back In Black/My Name Is (Mashup)"
- 2006: Friend introduces me to System Of Down, Disturbed, Korn, Slipknot, The Offspring...
- 2007: Friend gives me his hard drive. I find Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Manowar, Rammstein, J.B.O., AC/DC...
- 2008: Watch "Full Metal Village", get introduced to Kreator, Ensiferum, Amon Amarth... (buy first albums "Metallica - Death Magnetic & AC/DC - Black Ice")
- 2009: Discover "New Wave Of Thrash Metal", absorb everything about Metallica and Thrash Metal scene, decide to start a band
- 2010-now: still the same, still a metalhead, still in a band, still love Thrash, still find new awesome bands every day :D
The very first metal song I ever heard was Pantera walk I was really young back then not sure exactly when but before 2010 for sure from Pantera I got into Manowar I saw them written on graphitti near my school later on I saw another graphitti of Judas Priest and from that moment on I became metalhead I started exploring more and more bands learning the subgenres going to concerts buying t shirts I rely love this hobby.
Check out Angel Witch. They were a huge inspiration to bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Exodus, Testament etc.
I have the same opinion on the fact that people are not appreciating culture as before and I'm 23 years old so all my friends do not understand why I buy CD's, vinlys and DVD's. It's because I appreciate them enough to buy them, to commit to listen to or watch them. I don't want to hear about 1000 bands on spotify just once and then never thinking about them anymore. I love sitting down, put a cd on and reading the lyrics and doing nothing else, it's a pure moment of introspection and peace, far away from that fast life that smartphones and streaming plateforms are offering us
Three words, brutal effin legend!
My first interaction with metal was probably when I was seven watching hot wheels turbo racing videos and Metallica’s “Fuel” come on in the intro to the game and fell In love
I have found a new way of appreciating the music. When I hear a song I like, or listen to an entire album (on Spotify, these days), I google the lyrics, I replay to focus on the different instruments and the production and composition etc. If the lyrics don't make sense to me, I google song meanings. If I haven't already, I google the band or artist to find out more about them. I watch UA-cam videos where other people react to the song.
It's the same I did as a teen with cds and books (like you did with cds and magazines), but with newer mediums.
The reason many people disconnect with the music, is that they realize their connection with it a lot of the time is just being a fan, just appreciating what others do. This is why it's important to play an instrument or at least try to sing and write lyrics, even if just for yourself, to see if you can connect with it or not. By the time I was 16 I was obsessed with writing lyrics and also wanted to play a bunch of instruments, compose, eventually play with a backing orchestra, one-man band ideas (mainly from the black metal side of things) and....where, you can see where this is going, I've met many like myself, who got too ahead of themselves, so obsessed with everything about it but never really picked up an instrument until much later or really started creating something related to it at the heigh of the obsession.
And so, with many people it fades because they don't see any other connection besides paying money for merchandise and going to shows and obsessing over other people's work. This is why, creating art, and crating at all, is important.
Edit: I was trying to relate the comment to the @13:30 part of the video.
When I was little my dad would blast AC/DC in the truck on our way to baseball games. I got really into them and then my friend showed me Slipknot and it was down the rabbit hole from there.
On my way home from a baseball game, my dad started blasting master of puppets when I was like 7 or 8
awesome my metal roots started way back when i was born in october 3rd 2000 because of my dad still a metalhead now
I love this trip down nostalgia lane ~ you bringing up Revolver made me think about the time one of my friends told me System of a Down was on the cover of one of their issues so I literally ran all the way to the store to buy it. :') as addicted as I am to Spotify, listening to the same CD over and over again was such a vibe
My metal roots began in 1987 when I was 15 years old and I went to a friends house after school and he played me Metallica and Iron Maiden. I have been into metal ever since.
15 October 2022
Thank you!
mine was also with a video game from the 2000's. Guitar Hero II introduced me to Black Sabbath's War Pigs and the rest is history
I totally agree with you here.
I'm 37 years old today
when i first heard a metal band which was Metallica (The black album) around 1991 I was 6 years old and I was sold right away hehe
I did not have that much money and had to save up for a CD and the joy of having that goal and so you finally got enough money for the CD you wanted to buy so it was exactly as you say it so well here in your video. You read the text and listened and parted almost completely the cover to see everything 😊🤘
And yes ... one's first metal magazine .... shit .... thanks for making this video
I need to go back to.
😎👏 I actually have it the same way now. With that I listen but I do not feel the music the same way ... and you are quite right dude 👨🎓📣 I do not appreciate it in the same way anymore or give myself the same time to appreciate it.
You have given me my religion back 😎🤘
I want to throw some good metal on and make a number 2 battle vest 🌰🌱🌲
Thank you dude thank you 👍
Love the stories, it's cool hearing how these small moments dabbling in metal music and culture when we're growing up can make a lasting impression.
My metal roots started with Disturbed and Sevendust. My first CD was Believe by Disturbed and my brother took me to see Sevendust live in Chicago back in 2004 or 2005. I started losing touch with metal for a few years in my mid-late 20s, having a personal rediscovery phase. In that process, I developed an identity crisis - I felt like an imposter pretending to be someone I wasn't. Ultimately, that led me back to metal and rekindled my love for it and the culture. They say metal is a phase, but not for me.
Omg, I lived and breathed Antichrist Superstar! Good taste, mate!
Man, that was an awesome video!
Great video. My first show was Samantha Fox! Pantera first metal show.
For me it all started with hearing for whom the bell tolls on zombieland when I was like 7
This actually helped. I have been going through a slump.
Great video, you make some very valid points indeed...keep it up.
My metal journey started when my friend got me into black metal, i enjoyed it on the first try and i havent even listened to a metal album before that, i got istantly hooked and only now i am starting to listen to heavy metal and other metal subgenres, but hey i started listening to metal overall only half a year ago
Awesome that your brother got you a ticket.
My first albums i got were korn- got the life and no doubt. Also Rammstein was big and a lot on TMF and MTV. Later i met my metal head boyfriend with a lot of bands in his collection. 🤘
BTW, I love streaming, it makes me find new bands.
Holy shit! I had that same moment right now. That i dont enjoy metal as much as i did before. That part realization, that you didn't appeiciate metal enough. I felt that. That opened my eyes
I used to watch your videos a long time ago and it's rather coincidental because its this topic that brought me back here. I used to make these in depth reviews on albums to explore bands all while truly activly experiencing and critiquing the music. I rediscovered the brilliance of Chuck Schuldiner in Death and it reminded me of this channel and as if it was some sort of coincidence this video is going back to the roots. I absolutely agree with experiencing the art. In my opinion a great way to do this is to make a template with structure and it will force you not to only appreciate the technicalities of the instrumentals but also it has helped me understand what the song is truly about.
Every one has their bloody roots
Hey man! Thanks for sharing this! I’ve been waiting for you to do a vid like this. A bunch of us in the metal UA-cam community covered this subject a couple of years ago, it was fun! You should watch some of us. Brainsmasher, Marty Worm, Melanie Loves Death Metal, Ken’s Death Metal Crypt and the hilarious puppet nightmare Chromium Dioxide Radio.
Keep the metal thundering on bro!
very nice to hear the life of a fellow metalhead brother /m/.
I don't ever look at my devices when doing things, I hate the fact people are always on devices, don't get me wrong it can introduce you to new acts, I'm a metal festival promotor in a small town, so it can help me alot, but nothing is better than reading a magazine, or checking out the arts, getting yourself caught up in a debate with yourself about whatever acts your checking out, and when you find new acts.... holy hell do you feel amazing!!! 🤘
My journey starts when I heard byob my System of a Down at only a few months old
My journey to Metal started with my biological dad who unfortunately isnt with us anymore showed me Iron Maidens Visions of the Beast video compilation when i was around 3 or 4 years old and im 20 now, Ive never looked back since being shown that
Your bro sounds awesome
don't judge me already. but i started out with a love for, pop punk and Emo. and still go back to. i din't have a metal dad. he was always working. my mom had weird taste in pop and folk songs. so god bless that i din't become that kind of music fan. when i was 16, a rock/metal bar, in my town. where those music was being blasted. so i got there once. i was actualy a little scared, for real. i can remember that. i loved the style, because it was 'dark' but din't love the 'heavier screaming' yet, in the songs that much. but loved it more over time. i was suffering from depression, so it was already harder for me to talk to people. when i entered. people where just loveing the music, the style. talking about it. even the barkeeper and his wife ofcourse, it was there life. and i never seen something like that. i was so much interested. they talked to me, and accepted me with my weird hair. and my rise against t-shirt, and spikey armbrace. been coming there for years now. even made myself a battlevest, because i was inspired by some guys there that had those. it was the people for me that got me in metal for sure. drinking beer and headbanging to black sabbath. the feel.
When I was 3, I went to town with my dad one day and we were listening to a book. He went in the post office and left me in the truck. While he was in the post office, the CD changed to the album Death Magnetic by Metallica. I loved it and since that day I’ve been a metal head.🤘
3???
My journey started when I was 15 searching up cannibalism documentaries and came across cannibal corpse priests of Sodom clicked it and been hooked ever since 😤😤🤘
The 1st metal album i owned was korn untouchables back in 2003. Im a big fan of physical media. I have spotify which i dont pay for as i dont use it enough as its more of a back up for my music. I like collecting dvds/blurays and cd/vinyl and playing them. I will keep collecting them till they stop making them
im still newish in my metal journey im about five years in and i started when i was 14 but i got a lot more into it when i was like 15-16 because i had surrounded my self with it and im still happy i listen to the music i listen to.
My first 2 chosen cds were Black Sabbath: We Sold Our Souls for Rock n Roll and Orgy: Candyass but I was already in to metal by that time.
My journey has been very similar to yours. Marilyn Manson was my shit for so long and when the Twins Of Evil tour came to my town, I somehow convinced my mom to take me. Brutal Legend too, absolutely life changing
I my journey as a metalhead began with Black Sabbath.
I am very happy to have had a flip phone and no social media since 2016.
@Blackmetal Werewolf I really enjoyed talking about how you became a metalhead and what things got you into the music. I really enjoy hearing people talk about how they got into Metal
My dad putting on Def Leppard every morning on my way to school when I was in 5th grade. That sparked something and then thanksgiving weekend he told me to pick out a cd at best buy for the road trip to grandmas. I picked out The Very Beast Of Dio because the cover art looked bad ass. That changed my life forever
Good choice
Damn, I'm old. I got into Metal because I grew up in the 80's. When Master of Puppets came out, it was the biggest thing. I was also enjoying the Glam scene, but even as a little kid, the fashion wasn't my thing. That was pretty much the culture of the 80's. I was always excited to see the other Metal genres. They were more exciting, seemed real, and weren't full of narcissism.
Yeah you can get numb to it if you dont take breaks or do more than just listening all the time you gotta just really listen or look through the albums and read about the bands and stuff. That's the problem with internet availability and why I buy cds and sit down to just really enjoy them. I absolutely love getting a new album such as Infernal Overkill by Destruction and read the lyrics and see the wicked look of the band and think wow I want to be that badass, it also came with a poster that is next to my bed! Finding that artwork in there and being completely surprised and amazed is one of the best feelings ever.
I had that CD too. My first metal cd was either Metallica's Black or Black Sabbath's We Sold Our Souls for Rock n Roll. But before then I was enjoying taping songs off the radio. Glad I don't hafta do that anymore.
My parents where/are metalheads so they played iron maiden, Dio, black sabbath, AC/DC, frank Marino, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, accept and judas priest .. etc for me when I was a kid. When I was 12 I discovered guns n roses and my mom took me to my first concert then, and we saw guns n roses. Some years later I discovered glam metal through GTA (mötley crue). And When I was in high school (gymnasiet in Sweden) I discovered exodus and then fucking slayer. I also discovered Bathory and cannibal corpse then. I have always had metal in my life and my favorite genre is thrash metal. A funny story my mother told me: When she was pregnant one of her best friends used to play metallicas ride the lighting because she wanted me to like metallica. She told my mother "THAT KID MUST LOVE METALLICA" and used to joke around "hey little kid you need to listen to metallica when you are born, you need to be a metal baby". Funny thing is that ride the lighting is my favorite album by them, my mothers favorite by metallica is black album.
Also I got bullied when i started junior high (högstadiet sweden) for liking metal so when I changed school I pretended to not like metal and listened to it at home, just because I didnt want to get bullied again. So I had a "metal pause" for a couple of years until I decided that I didnt care about peoples opinions anymore.
I remember when I was in the 8th grade on a class field trip, they let us go to the mall, I went to the music store and bought the Dead to the World vhs, I remember a classmate of mine being jealous because he wasn't allowed to listen to Marilyn Manson lol
BTW my go to metal magazines back in the late 90s were Metal Edge and Hit Parader😉
For me, it wasn't an album but a movie that got me into heavy metal. It all started when I saw a movie called Airheads. If you haven't seen it, it's a great movie. Back then I was a complete dork and a brony who listened to dubstep, so I was a VERY different kind of person back then. I remember seeing the scene with White Zombie and thinking the people in it were cool, but didn't think someone like me would be into that kind of thing. Then curiosity got the best of me, so I checked out Rob Zombie's greatest hits at the library and the rest is history.
My Metal roots started in 1990 with Scatterbrain- Here Comes Trouble Cassette then cd then I follow Ice-T from his Gangsta Rap days to his Grindhouse Metal band Body Count then learn I learn of alot of bands like Entombed on Headbanger's balls in 1993. Then I learn of Iced Earth in 1996 with their 4th cd "The Dark Saga" because I love Spawn comics then I learn of Coal Chamber with their song Loco thru Headbanger's Ball in 1997 that's how I learn of Nü-Metal.
My metal roots started when I first started listening to stuff like Ac/DC and mostly metalcore as a tween. I discovered it from movies and the radio and just thought it sounded rad. Only after that I started listening to heavier stuff. Then came a time where I genuinely hated it because I got excluded so much because of my tastes and being a woman. After dealing with with being self conscious and realizing that not giving a shit is way more useful my love came back with a vengeance. And since then it's the soundtrack of my life right next to ABBA and Lady Gaga.
that was a good ending
I get what you're saying about Spotify, and there are legitimate grips to be had with them, but as far as DESCOVERING new bands, it is amazing, ive discovered so many bands through Spotify over the last 5 years, especially doom metal bands like Pentagram, Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, and Trouble. as well as numerous thrash bands.
For me it was basically Manson and than slipknot and stuff
i’ve been into metal for 6 years now my first band was probably Mayhem and now i’m listening to first fragment so it’s been a journey
Cool Vid. I don't dress in black with metal bands and all that (anymore) just dress up in normal clothes and blend into the bland. But I still listen to some metal still. the odd death metal, black metal, thrash etc. Used to live it and breathe it though in my younger years. my metal Journey started with Bon jovi slippery when wet and Def Lep Hysteria. They got the ball rolling all the way through to black metal.
Cool video dude . My first concert was iron Maiden the matter of Life and Death tour. I was 15 so good.
I do love Spotify i have found so many bands in there . If i like the album i buy it . An the one thing i like about vinyls is looking at the big cover an reading the lyrics while listen to the album .an yes i need to have the physical forms too. If its vinyls CDs tapes, VHS DVD & books. Speaking about books i dont get the new thing thats reading a book in your phone. Seems stopid to me.
Right on! I don't think you are being preachy at all. You're just saying what you believe.
As for me, I think my journey into metal started when I heard Dragonforce on Guitar Hero 3 when I was 13. Then it was Killswitch Engage that led me into metalcore, Bring Me The Horizon that led me into the heavier bands of the Warped Tour scene (of which I still have a soft spot for even now) and then Deafheaven and Immortal that led me to blackgaze and black metal. 🤘
my metal journey started when I was sick of generic alternative rock music and since I only had one Slayer song on my phone or one Anthrax song I decided the hell with it ill check these out more and well my metalhead journey kept going and more when I saw Amon Amarth with Huntress and Savage Messiah and I bought a Huntress album Starbound Beast and later two more albums that I traded for a nirvana t shirt in return I got Reign in Blood and Countdown to Extinction
Picking up a skateboard for the first time just before my 7th grade year was when I first started to listen to metal. A big thank you to Bam Margera and his O.G MTV show for opening that door for me.
I gotta be honest I feel the same way like yeah I listen to UA-cam music but I can't enjoy the music without listening to the lyrics or jamming on a cd
For me and I'm sure it started for a lot of other metalheads my roots stated with traditional heavy metal and glam metal (and a small bit of thrash) my very first CD I ever bought was skid rows self titled album when I was 13. I'm 25 now and I still have it to this day and whenever I listen to that album it brings me back to the good times of just enjoying what got me into my passion now 12 years later my fire for metal is still strong and when the day I die I hope someone can play some morbid angel or death for me
Check out Deceased Supernatural Addiction. It's got classic metal elements perfectly blended with the faster, heavier side.
Been into rock since im about 14 iguess, watching these AMV´s all the time, from there i was more into heavier rock because theres a german rapper(i am from germany) called Shimmy/ShimmyMC who has some rock/metaltyped beats for his songs im into metalcore since im 16 i believe, from there on it just got more rough, still i know the big legends but i dont listen to them besides nirvana. Nowadays i listen to like Bullet for my valentine, bring me the horizon, nightwish, falconshield, pentakill, arch enemy, our mirage (i know, they are post-hardcore) and so on. Im 24 now. So ive joined pretty recently but been enjoying my ride so far ^^.
I still prefer CDs to this day but over the year's I have definitely dug deeper into the lesser known bands. I rarely buy CDs these days but I still go out of my way to buy shirt's from bands. The last shirt I got was from VVilderness from Hungary but it came with a digital download for his latest album. Now I don't mind getting digital albums but generally it doesn't have the same deep feeling like I have with owning In Times by Enslaved. Oh yeah, I spent like $60 on the 30th anniversary Enslaved shirt and I guess you can say that's the most expensive shirt in my 70+ shirts I own. Sadly my most favorite shirt from Wolvhammer had to be retired because it has a huge hole in the front of it.
I did get into metal when I first heard Dig by Mudvayne when I was 8 years old but I was familiar with bands like Korn and even Rob zombie before that time as well but the thing that sucked was being forced to listen to the crap my mother liked growing up and that is why I am thankful for my father who let me get some CDs from bands like Ill Niño & Mudvayne in my younger year's.
The most prized possession I own cd wise is my Slimewave Goregrind series from Relapse records because that has been out of print for many years now and someone recently uploaded it to UA-cam in 2020. The weirdest thing is that I actually bought it in our local hot topic in 2009 before that store changed to the point I barely even like buying stuff from there. The cd is still in great condition as well.
It is nice to go back to our roots for sure and I definitely did that with jamming to my slimewave cd recently and that definitely reminded of who I am as an artist today and what bands influenced me when I was originally known for goregrind.
I traced my metal roots to the day when I was 4 when I 1st watched Iron man The 1st installment of the mcu I got into metal because I was curious on the score They used in the movie turns out it was From Black Sabbath's iron man And I was hooked Now I could work my way up to shit that is too brutal to be played in school
Nickelback, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie led to The Kovenant and Psyclon Nine which led to sludgecore, black metal and noise
Mine started with KISS
Aye yi yi, listen. If y'all ain't gonna bother seeing what's in your PO box, just fucking tell us!!! I'd be more than happy to seek other metal UA-camrs who ACTUALLY check theirs
I know it's not a metal album, but this is actually why American Idiot by Green Day is an album I tend to revisit a lot since that's the album that got me into heavy music.
Oh it's not a problem that took 10 minutes sometimes it'll take longer that's just how long it takes.
Great video,
I also don't use streaming services they are trash imho , I download music and buy records when I have extra cash,
They do streaming at work, and I wear headphones I can't handle it

Marilyn Manson’s Antichrist Superstar got my bum whipped by my parents when I was ten. I wasn’t allowed to listen to metal when I was growing up because of the stereotypical reasons my parents could think of. My uncle used to make me metal mix tapes and CDs of any kind music he listen to. As time went on I secretly accumulated a small collection of metal music. But one day I left that Antichrist CD in my little stereo and my stepdad pushed play…. You know the first song that comes on “irresponsible hate theme” 😳😳😳😳. My parents flipped my room and found my music stash right after my mother took a belt to my tukus 😣. Sad day. But now I’m in my 30s and every time I drive my mom around or my parents drop by for a visit me, I blast the music they once forebode me to listen to. 😈😈😈😈😈 My metal journey started when I saw Cannibal Corps on the movie Ace Venture Pet Detective… I think I was 5 or 6. Then my uncle was like, here you can have this: a cassette player with “the bleeding” inside 🙌.
Hey, where did you get this spiked bracer? Could you make a guide how to make one with spikes?
Is there a name for your non spiked bracer, where did you get it? I also had those two albums as starters.
My metal journey started in 1991 with Metallica's Metallica and Go To Hell by Megadeth
Thinks for the advice The metal slump is terrible what really helped me get out of my slump was I stopped doing heavy metal research I stopped checking for new bands stop keeping up with current metal instead I started listening to all my favorite albums from all my favorite bands and listen to the classics
My metal history goes back to the 70s with Alice Cooper ,Foghat ,Nazareth & Grand Funk Railroad
I'm also a Amazon music hater
This is my last post this week (I promise). Appreciating music goes for any genre. My best friend is a woman who likes top 40 music. We've known each other for 24 years (she was my girlfriend for 3 of those years) and when she hears a song from 1998 onward she associates the song with things we did such as go to dinner at Pizzeria Uno's after work at the mall every Friday or Saturday night or going to my local cinema every Saturday before Halloween to watch a midnight to noon Horror marathon.
She's 9 years younger than myself and her common law husband is 8 years younger than she so he is 17 years younger than myself. He was born in 1983, my 17th birthday I bought some records including Hard N Heavy and Metal On Metal both by Anvil, Power And The Glory by Saxon and a new album by an American band called Metallica called "Kill 'Em All".
Yeah, people who listen to more basic music associate it with common everyday simple things, people that listen to metal compare to "at least" deeper stuff (most of the time), I always think that most metalheads are thinkers, met many intelligent metalheads.
Lol ik some metal elitists might come for me but slipknot introduced and got me into metal then I got into cannibal corpse and then I was watching a video about the history of metal and they talked about black metal and then I first listened to the album Transylvanian hunger and I still listen to all sorts of metal there’s so many other bands but I don’t want to write a whole book lol I’m 16 and I haven’t gotten to go to a concert or a festival yet but I’m going to get a job again (they didn’t give me any hours since I couldn’t work at 2:00, o’clock because that’s before I get out of school) and I started collecting records I got a slipknot (self titled vinyl) and a tool opiate vinyl and I got a cannibal corpse vinyl tomb of the mutalited vinyl I’m hoping to get a darkthrone vinyl soon so I can get the experience of listening to them on vinyl there my favorite black metal band my dad is into metal but he’s more of a Metallica slayer and pantera kind of guy he’s not into black metal and bands like cannibal corpse funny story he met pantera Phil was a total douch to him and dimebag was really nice to him also despite what phil says Phil was pretty racist he might of and probably has changed or I hope so since the 90s when they met
My metal roots started when I first heard Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance in 1982. The first albums I bought were JP- British Steel and Iron Maiden- Piece of Mind. I'd never heard Maiden but I liked the album cover, it was the same story with Dio-Last in Line. Then I discovered Venom in 84, they became my favourite band. Then came Slayer, Celtic Frost, Mercyful Fate, and Voivod in 1984. By 1986 I was full on into thrash and completely stopped listening to Maiden, Priest, Dio, and Dokken in favour of faster, heavier music..Enter Kreator, Sodom, Cryptic Slaughter, DRI, Cro-mags,Agnostic Front, Exodus, Nucleaur Assault, Sacred Reich, Metallica, Death Angel. Etc. 90s was a different story with ddifferent bands
Sorry to hear you got bullied. Kids are so cruel.
