Do you remember the first time?

I remeraber when I about 11 or 12 being in a school music class learning about the bass from some TV show.

Suddenly it cut to Lemmy belting out Ace Of Spades , and I just looked at the TV & thought 'YES !!!!!!!!!' and seeing the look of total disgust from most of my classmates just made it even better.

I think that was the moment I got hooked
 
Guns n Roses did it for me...
I have two older brothers who worshiped them back then, and actually still do. I was only 10 in 1994 but you could say I was the only GnR fan in my class.
However the first cd I ever bought was the single for Always by Bon Jovi...I'm not really in to ol-Jon but I still think is a very good song, and a fine cd to own when you think about it because not many people have it.
So it's Guns and Bon Jovi
 
OK I am speaking metaphorically but what was the first band that really got you into music? Not a stolen snippet from your dad's collection or a radio hit that charmed you but the first band that dragged you kicking and screaming into the world of music? Do you still like them? Are you erabarrassed by them? Do you still hold a torch for them?

IRON MAIDEN. 1986

My parents had just split up and through a friend I heard LIVE AFTER DEATH. Of course there was plenty of anger and disillusionment inside of me and other banRAB may have been more iintense around that time, but I did'nt know that. As soon as I heard Maiden it answered questions for me. It became my emotional crutch and began a journey of self discovery that is still (hopefully) only half way through.

Iron Maiden, for better or worse brought me here. I still drag LIVE AFTER DEATH out once in a while and revel in those memories.

So c'mon people. Who is it for you?
 
oh my god, i LOVE your avatar!
anyways
the band that probably really got me into music might be sum 41, i cant remeraber
but yeah i was obsessed with them for a bit
this was the band that got me out of the bsb, spice girls & nsync stage so thats gotta count for something
listen to them every once in a while
dont really like them as much anymore
 
I know - it first started when The Cars & Van Halen were addressed as classic rock & now of course REM, Nirvana & most 80's / 90's mainstream alternative rock acts are treated as if they are Queen or ELO.

But I suppose I am already swearing at 'what these kiRAB today' are listening to.
 
Kiss Alive II. It was 1977 and I was 5 years old. I hardly ever listen to Kiss anymore, just once every few years when I'm reminiscing about my childhood.
 
I think it might've been System of a Down. Don't really like them that much anymore, but do still have a bit of a soft spot. Listen to their first two albums every once in a while.
