My first real Metal band was Samael back in 1998

Pantera

I grew up with much German New Wave, because of my older brother and sister.

First metal-band i remember was Metallica, but they didn´t influenced me.

When i first got into music, i listened to stuff like Silverchair, I Mother Earth, Soundgarden, Rage Against the Machine.....that kind of shit.

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

__________________

first bands for me were megadeth and the offspring. never was a big metallica fan........

I still to this day love offspring, i have all their albums, i loved em since like...ohh 1994 maybe!

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.

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

I admit I've also loved Offspring since Smash. And Green Day. But I think they've lost most of what made their music good.

Well I was kinda weird. I listened to a lot of 60's stuff, due to my family but I heard Metallica and I was "hooked". I listened to them for a short while, then I started listening to heavier (Amorphis,etc), but I still yearned for more. So it progressed from 60's to my-now tastes of Dimmu, Bodom,Filth etc

__________________

I grew up with Primus, and Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch.
Also Eisley Brothers.

i grew into metal with black sabbath and pink floyd on my shoulders

__________________

When I was little my brother used to play all kinds of the usual 80s metal stuff, Metallica, Megadeth, Napalm Death, Suicidal Tendencies, Slayer, Anthrax, etc. I used to yell at him to turn it off. Then in 8th grade I started listening to stuff like Pantera, Collective Soul, Offpsring, GWAR, 311, Prong, etc. Then I moved here to Houston and joined Columbia House and picked up a lot of cds including King Diamond (said metal blade records, thought it'd give it a try). After that I started doing Iced Earth and all kinds of the good metal. I still listen to all the stuff I used to listen to, what my brother used to play, and what I listen to now.

Well, I grew up with Metallica(it is still the best band ever!!! In my opinion that is), AC/DC, Kizz, alot of rock(stuff from 50's, 60's and 70's), classical, Green day and some bands I don't remember the names of. Local bands that is. I still listen to all the bands above. Plus alot of other stuff. METTALICA KICKS ASS!(Don't throw that big rock at me, NO STOP arrgh....)

__________________

my older sister used to listen bands like iron maiden, accept, judas priest, motorhead etc, so that's what i grew up with. that got me into the heavier music. first big influence was metallica, especially "master of puppets".

Pantera was the first metal band i heard like three years ago, since then I started buying more Pantera, Slayer and Metallica. now it's growing and growing and growing.......

__________________

it all started with the 90ies stuff with me....first listened to fear factory on the mortal kombat soundtrack, and i got addicted to it at once...then came bands like old machine head, sepultura, pantera...all the major, non-cheesy metal bands the 90ies had...so i guess it was some kind of reverse start for me, from that stuff in the beginning (which i still love) to death - and classic metal (metallica, slayer..no iron maiden)...grind / hardcore is fine with me, too.. i prefer more complex stuff now ( opeth, etc.)...and i listen to a lot of swedish stuff.
a reason i got involved with way more kinds of metal is maybe, that all the bands i liked in the beginning somehow "died"..old stuff rocks, though

Well i started with Cradle of Filth.
