Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

Really it was 2 albums at once, Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold and The Black Album by Metallica. Then later on SkidRow, Slayer, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, and many of the other classics and newer ones.

Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

Honestly, a bit later than most on here but "Technical Difficulties" by Racer X [ Paul Gilbert ] who later, by the way, played in Mr. Big with one of the greatest bassists alive Mr. Billy Sheehan. What a great way to be introduced to metal in my honest opinion

EDIT - Can't go without the honorable mention of Megadeth's "Rust In Peace"

Edit Edit - Fairies Wear Boots from Paranoid, how fantastic was that one.

Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

My first Heavy Metal experience was with Metal Works by Judas Priest. I was really into Jazz and Bluegrass music when I bought this record because it had a cool cover and cool song names. I still remember buying albums because of the cover art and reading the song names.

Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

It was either Piece of Mind or Killing is My Business (maybe it goes without saying but, Megadeth), or Suicidal Tendencies (skate metal?).

Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

It may have been "Eight Days a Week" by Alvin & the Chipmunks, but if any of you 'purists' out there don't think it fits the category, then it would have to be the Machine Head album by Deep Purple

Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

The First song I can think of that got me into metal was Strange Kind of Woman by Deep Purple ...
