Which Was The First Band Which Introduced You To Heavy Metal????

When I was in my early teens I was into pop music (I know, shame on me lol) but as I got nearer to 15 I started wanting to listen to music with my balls. I started listening to bands not groups and then when I went to college, I was introduced to Kerrang which led to Limp Bizkit, Korn and Slipknot. From then on...things got a whole lot better with the bands I started listening to.

Ok This is going to really date me but it is what it is.....Oroginally it was acid rock in the late 60's and early 70's...Jimi Hendrix--Doors--Iron Butterfly--Cream--and more that I can't think of right now. In the 80's Black Sabbath--Metallica--and we're off to the races!!!! Now there are so many types of Metal that I can't keep up with all of them. My Fav. still is Pantara--Metallica--BLS--Slipnot--Rob Zombie--Godsmack and the list go on......

Gee there are so many that I grew up with.....but Iron Maiden was probably the first :-)

I got my rock n roll heart in 1980. The first group I loved was Def Leppard.Are they considered Heavy Metal? If not, I got into Metallica back in the 90's.

Iron Maiden. Looking back, they're probably not my favorite band anymore, but their contribution to Metal is undeniable, and their music still sounds great!

Like many people, I started with Metallica...Although I didn't find them to be too heavy of a band...Eventually, I got really into Pantera, and from that day on, a metal head was born...I do listen to all sorts of different types of music, but metal is what my speakers are pumping out the mojority of the time... -Mike

i dont really like heavy metal because its too loud but i do have a couple of favorite songs from metallica and warrant.
