I have discussed how I came across metal in this thread and this thread, and you're all probably pretty darn sick of me bringing it up every year. However, this is the fifth anniversary of that fateful night that I heard "Iron Man" for the first time. I would like to thank the following bands for helping my knowlesge grow and expand in those five years:
Black Sabbath, the band that started it all.
Led Zeppelin, not metal but who helped pique my interest.
Warrant, whose cheesy hair metal helped me segue into the tougher stuff.
Motley Crue, who helped me ease out of punk and back into metal.
Pantera, for doing the same.
Megadeth, for having Gigantour and introducing me to...
Nevermore and
Fear Factory, who opened the door for me to dive into the most well-known "underground" metal bands of the past and the modern day.
Malicious Assault (RIP), who introduced me to the LA thrash scene.
I could thank many more people, organizations, and bands, but that would make this post ridiculously long. I would especially like to thank the LivingForMetal community for sharing in the joys of my life's blood for over two of these years. Once metal becomes a part of our lives, it sticks. Hails and horns! \m/

Keep it going and maybe you'll post another thread for the ten year anniversary.
Insanity takes its toll, so please, have exact change.

| This is pretty damn cool! We all have those bands deserving of our thanks as they laid the foundation for where our musical interests are at these days. To think back on how my musical interests have evolved over the years makes for a pretty entertaining story...

I certainly don't remember a date or even a year but I can remember much of my progression. Started with a little 80's hard rock and metal (Van Halen, Billy Idol, Poison, Crue, etc) then late in high school I discovered Led Zeppelin. In college I discovered Megadeth, Metallica, and Iron Maiden, among others.
As long as I got Rock n Roll I'm forever young

| I just remember getting into mental, then somehow being incredibly close minded about my tastes, and eventually broadening my horizons to where they are today. I look back and laugh at what I once considered to be "truly metal". So naïve...
