well i'm only 16 but have been listening to metal for aorund 7 years now. my first metal band was Metallica, i got into them at boy scout camp. went home and got Load, black album and kill em all. the other metal bands that i got into when i was like 12 were black sabbath and white zombie, and slayer too. now since i've had the interent for about 2 years, it has really helped me get into a lot of other bands.

My first real Metal band was Samael back in 1998

Pantera

Then i heard Metallica, and wanted heavier stuff. Since then i've been a metalhead.

i used to listen to alot of wierd chinese music, then came classic rock, then black sabbath, then pantera, then cryptopsy, then opeth, then dream theater and now its cradle of filth. i still like all the above, not so much the chinese stuff tho. its like 70's pop

i grew up with rage and soundgarden too. But also dead kennedys which i still love, dark tranquillity and opeth where the first metal bands i liked, even tho it was like leaping into fire, i never got into regular metal for awhile.

Darko

i grew up with led zep. ozzy, pink floyd and other ppl played on oldies radio...then around age 13 my mother (who picked me up from school every fuckin day) started to listen to country shit...i hated it....then i started to listen to metallica and that shit...and just last year i bought Dimmu Borgir - stromblast and was like everything else is crap...i still listen to old rock/metal....

I guess I grew up to stuff like Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, Bluesbreakers, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Cream, Blind Faith, Steppenwolf, Deep Purple, Santana, and, to some extent, Soulfly and Deftones. Right after that I got into much of what I'm in now, but since I'm in that now, I didnt really grow up with it, did I? Unless I'm not grown up enough yet, and this is what I'm growing up to, in which case, y'all should have at least a vague idea of what I like.

FROM METALLICA TO PANTERA AND ITS JUST GETTING HEAVIER AND BETTER

yeh i loved em since 1994 also, ive had all their albums for awhile now. ill be waiting is a kick ass song, too bad the recording is poor. i wish they would go into the studio and re-record that entire album
