What was the first metal album you guys ever had? Mine was 'The Razor's Edge' tape when I was 7 years old. My first thrash album, Pantera 'Official Live 100 Proof' I think in like 7th grade. My dad has no interest in metal, so I had to discover it all myself, with help from Transient. Input.....?

My first was "Europe - final countdown". OK, it's not real metal
Then: "Sepultura - roots" For me that album wasn't metal, too.
The first CD, i called metal was "Cradle of Filth - Midian". Yes, I'm a newbie.

my bro gave me metallica's black album when i was in grade 7 (12), but he always had the CD's i wanted, so when he came back from uni. he gave me all the pantera albums up to trend kill, and slayer's Reign and seasons, but by that time i had tones of black falg and misfits Cd's... Ya i was a bit of an old school punk rocker for a while

I mentioned to one of the school bullies that I'd heard Morbid Angel on the radio & thought it sounded cool, but instead receiving a punch in the face, I instead got a huge pile of cds from him & a mandate to enjoy them...luckily for me I did. Too many to mention in that pile, but the first one I ever bought for myself was probably Chaos AD or Arise.

(edit edit edit!)

NO! I just realised, that it was Def Lepard's 'Hysteria'! Fuck man, I had that album when I was like 10 years old. Oh, man, they were so cool! I even got to go & watch Bon Jovi that year in Melbourne. Wow, glammy cock rock was so cool when I was young.................*sigh*..................memories.

When I was 11 I bought my first tape, it was the "two in one" of Black sabbath's Paranoid+Heaven and hell. Im surprised I still have. The first cd i ever bought was Metallica-and justice for all. Which wasnt too long after i had bought that tape.

Back in the day... Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden, I walked into a store and I remember hearing good things about them on the radio ans I decided to pick up this album.

__________________

Yeah, I just realized too I owned Def Lepard's Greatest Hits before any other "metal" cd. That was soooo cheesy... I think they had a one-armed drummer though, which is cool.

heheheh yeh that is funny

I think the first album i bought was Rush - Moving pictures, i bought for 8 bucks at a local video store.
that album kicks ass

Man at my school we have so fucking many "Metal Heads". Ranging from In Flames/CoB to Morbid Angel and Opeth.

i was the only metalhead aswell at my school, the place was fully of fucking townie trendy fuck heads

__________________

Does "Alvin and the Chipmunks Sings the Beatles" count ? It had electric guitars and drums and stuff. For my first metal album I'm not sure. I had Kansas but they were not what I'd call metal. Most of the later stuff I'd call metal was Wally's stuff I'd hear and borrow. The first ones I probably actually bought were Antrax and Audioslave and those were recently.

Someone mentioned Tull "Broadsword and the Beast". That was kick ass!! My old favorites were/are a lot of old Moody Blues and old Genesis. Awesome stuff.

First album I ever heard was Pantera - Far Beyond Driven & I fucking loved it straight away, I knew metal was for me, going hard and doing what I believe in. Metal has made me a better person STAY TURE STAY HARD STAY METAL 666

morbid angel - covenet

Bastard! I've looked everywhere for Ten Black Years, but never turned up a copy.

My first thrash album was Reign in Blood after hearing Raining Blood on Vice City. Like I've said, I have had to discover metal myself, with little help from anyone, omit Transient.


Feel fortunate. Me and Transient are the only real metalheads at our school. All fucking POSERS or people into metalcore who are oblivious to the real metal world. I've tries to get them into it, but NOOOO. They stay with Godsmack and Manson and shit like that.
