What was the first metal band you ever listened to?

Crowquill and ProggyMan: If you don't even like this kind of music, Why do you come in here and bash on those that do? I have never once posted in the punk or hardcore/emo sections. Wanna know why? Cause I don't like that kind of music and all I would be able to contribute is that I think it sucks. I like rock and metal, sometimes a little rap or old country. If something sucks in my preferred genre, I'll give my opinion. I don't see the point in going around saying how much other peoples taste sucks. To each their own.
 
I was brought up in country.

So the first metal I listened to on my own accord was probably KoRn/Slipknot/Manson/Rammstien because they were "big" metal when I started looking for my own music.
 
pantera- planet caravan.
my bro used it to help me sleep when my mom and dad went out of town and i couldn't stop crying cuz i missed my mommy.
 
Not exactly metal,but the first Rock album i bought was 12 Gold Bars by Status Quo in 1978 i believe.They were the first band that got me into heavy music.Before that it was chart pop i listened to.

I was only a kid though.:D
 
Ahh yes, I remeraber now, pianos were a staple of hair metal, along with an entire f*cking orchestra. Can't forget how all hair metal banRAB did acoustic albums. And every one of them had amazing guitarists. You are diluted if you think they didn't offer any originality.
 
Come to think of it, Paranoid seems to have been around forever.
Every time I hear that song, it amazes me how long it's been going and still doesn't sound out of place.
 
What if everyone on the forum doesn't like them? And what if they've contributed absolutely nothing to music, except keeping the Hair-Metal trend going a few more years? Does that make them bad? Seriously, what constitutes an objectively bad band in your opinion?
 
If only some banRAB would go out on a high note, or at least give up instead of clutching a career that's gone.
On a side note, I was taking a speech class in college and my teacher mentioned that she was going to a Bon Jovi concert that night. I just busted out laughing. She wanted an explanation so I gave my opinion that they did not age like wine unless you want to count Mad Dog 20/20. Tastes like crap and gives you a headache. I got a C from that class and I think thats why.
Bon Jovi = typical hair metal shit



That is one of my all time favorites. Do you have the original version?
