First time I heard a heavy metal tune I was 12 and it was Anesthesia/Pulling Teeth off Metallica's Kill'em All album. I asked my parents for a bass the next day and have been playing ever since.

Metallica, Kill 'Em All.

When parachute pants were all the rage, I was walking down the street and found that cassette tape on the road, I never listened to a single tape so much.

I STILL haven't heard a whole album of Iron Maiden yet... If LedZeppelin counts, I listened to them when I was 6(and they were NEW!) if not, I guess it would be Black Sabbath's WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR ROCK N ROLL!

Iron Maiden, Number of the Beast!:angryfire
 
Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

First Song: Eagleheart - Stratovarius
First Album: Someting by Metallica I think
First Album I bought: Metallica-Load
I didn't know much about Metallica so I chose that over Master of Puppets... I regret my decision, even though I still like Load
 
Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

My first song is "Invaders" from the album "Number of the Beast" by, of course, Iron Maiden. I read the lyrics on the back off my cousins vinyl case and, coming from Nordic ancestors, and living in a place rich with the history of the vikings it pulled me straight in and I knew I had to listen. I had not listened to metal properly before but this song opened up the world for me. I discovered my favourite band, which I am going to see at the o2 in London this August. I was inspired to pick up bass and guitar by Steve, Dave, Adrian and Janick. Whenever I hear this song now it always seems fresh and the bass is so active, with so many fills and quite challenging to play. After 2 years of practice I decided to try and learn it on bass. I felt proud as hell when I did finally learn it. Steve Harris' tone set my standards for tone. I nearly always play on high tone, whatever the song. So that's an essay on what got me into heavy metal and Maiden. Heaven can Wait, at least until I've learnt every Iron Maiden song there is.

Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

The first metal song I ever remember hearing, it was the one that got me into metal, was Evening Star by Dragonforce. They were literally the first metal band I got into.
 
Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

The first album I ever bought for myself was Bark at The Moon, and I'm fairly certain that the title track was the first song that could be considered metal that I heard and enjoyed. Pretty sure that the first metal song that i learned on bass must have been Iron Man or something along those lines, although the earliest song that I learned and still remember is The Trooper.

Reminds me, I'm seeing Iron Maiden in September! :D

I'm seeing Iron Maiden with Anthrax, Megadeth, Testament, Overkill, and Sabaton all in one show - exactly 10 days after I see Black Sabbath.
 
Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

The first album would have to be ''Among the Living'' by Anthrax.
As for song, probably ''Infinite Dreams'' by Iron Maiden! :naughty:
 
Re: Steve Harris SPB-4 Giveaway

First intro to metal was two albums. Black Sabbath's first album and Judas Priest's Sin After Sin. And a Ronco record that had No More Mr. Nice Guy.
