What made you like Metal music?

Oh why not, they're good. My favourite album of theirs is Orchid with Twighlight is My Robe and Silhouette being my favourite songs on it. They have such a distinctive sound.



Same, I was addicted to The Drapery Falls!
 
Iron Maiden did it for me many many years ago, i had a friend at school who's brother had the first couple of Iron Maiden albums along with some Meatloaf and Marillion albums. All of the albums had amazing artwork so i gave them a listen and fell in love with the music! i remeraber listening to the music for hours on end and looking at the amazing album artwork, now thats one big thing i miss about vinyl:(
 
Just trying Opeth's Watershed again, love their previous stuff but im struggling with this one! but it does get better the more i listen to it
 
The first album I ever bought was Alice in Chains' Dirt when I was 8, which was the same year I started playing bass. Some people consider them a metal band. I don't. I just threw that out there for those who do. After that, Metallica, when I recorded a staticy Welcome Home (Sanitarium) from the local college radio on cassette on my family's only CD player. This was '94 or '95. I was really into Metallica from then until about 14. While they were releasing Load, ReLoad and Garage, Inc., I was sticking with the first four or five albums, my favorite still being Master of Puppets, although I did buy Load first.
After that, I discovered Pantera when I ripped off Official Live 101 from a Colurabia House disc order. They were so ****in' fast. When I first listened to the live versions of Sandblasted Skin and Suicide Not pt. 2, it was the fastest music I had ever heard, so naturally, I listened to it as loud as possible on my DiscMan everyday at school. That was 13.
And then I discovered Slayer through some frienRAB. They pretty much replaced Metallica as my "second favorite" band after Pantera took the helm.
Since then, a lot of good banRAB have kept me into metal: namely Opeth, Nile, Between the Buried and Me, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, and a rash of hardcore banRAB like Burnt by the Sun, Car Borab, Psyopus, Dillinger Escape Plan, and The Black Dahlia Murder.
 
I miss the days when metal was filled with ugly greasy bikers & hard nuts.

It's all musos & pretty boys in make up now :(
 
As do I. That's why I always enjoy a chance to discuss Rammmshhhtteiinn in person.

Incidentally, I still listen to Sehnsucht every once in a while. Some of the songs are pretty good.
 
I love how they flow from heavy parts to light interludes. I also love how both the guitars and vocals can sound incredibly heavy without being over distorted/pushed. They maintain an incredibly professional sound at all times. Some of their songs are so epic and sweeping, they cover such a vast scape of sound. This, to me, is truly a band that had worked very hard to refine their sound and mold it into something very unique.



Orchid is a great album, just a little to rough for my taste. The freshness of the band is there, but some of the key elements oof the banRAB sound are obviously absent. I myself prefer My Arms, Your Hearse. This album blows me away front to back every listen. 5 years I have owned it and it's still one of my most played.
 
metallica got me into metal, and bfmv got me into metalcore ( which is now my favorite genre )
 
All That Remains were around when you were in 4th grade??? wow you make me feel old. or you're just really young. their first album was 2004-05 right?

Still going and JH still listening :D
 
I was an angry 15 year old who got into the genre through metalcore banRAB like Atreyu, Unearth, As I Lay Dying, etc. but my taste eventually matured to the point where I got into thrash, power/speed metal, and traditional metal. Though, I also happen to be a huge fan of glam/hair metal depending on rather or not you consider it metal or not.
