What was the first metal album you have ever bought/gotten. Write a litte story on how you got it too ,please.

For me it prolly was Iron Maiden's first one. My dad took me to the metalshop and handed me this record, "Here kid, this is for you." And I put it in the car's cd player and skipped to Running Free because my dad said it was the best track. My jaw dropped.

Alice Cooper - Dragontown

for price comparable to only 3 euro or so, so i suddenly decided, that buying real albums may be good...although i had absolutely no idea what to expect from Alice's album from 2001, i bought it and damn, i wasnt disappointed so this is how it stared back in December 2008...before that i was only downloading albums

Haha Guns and Roses (Appetite for Destruction) and Rage Against the Machine Self titled in 1993 when I was 13... I was in Kmart with my mum and I found the CD's, pulled off the parental warning stickers, and there were my parent's migranes for the next 2 years...

When i was 13 i listened to czech rock band Kabát and my mum was quite sad about that...not talking about my age of 15, when a friend of mine burned SKA-P (spanish ska-punk) cd for me...but when parents saw i am really into "harder" music, problems and argues vanished

I can't conclusively put my finger on this, but i think the first metal album i ever listened to from start to finish is probably Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. needless to say what my opinion was/is haha.


as for the first album i ever bought, it's the Painkiller. still my favorite album of all time, i might as well get a PhD in that album lol.

My first album ever was blink 182's Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. I didn't use to listen to music that much until then, just some radio shit. I got this ripped from my cousin. It somewhat helped me to shape my taste in a rockish direction so when I got my first metal album from a friend when I was 14, I liked it a ridiculous lot. That album was Kill'em All.

Arch Enemy
And Metallica....
Songs all around really.
Till today I love these bands very much (unlike Children of Bodom)

The first one I bought for myself was Iron Maiden's "Dance of Death" when it came out. I still love that one and it will always be very special to me.

Hmm
it was track to Emperor ( which i dont remember) i found it by coincidence in a web. but i remember i felt so fine specially i was really really angery at that moment .and so i kept downloading his tracks randomly

First official tape : AC/DC : For those about to rock (before I had copies from several Metal albums)
First LP - Iron Maiden: The number of the beast (back in 1983)
First CD - Dokken : Back for the attack (a few years later when the CD-player was available)

Back when I was 7, my atep brother (7 years older) showed me some metal bands. I loved Rhapsody, they sounded unique to my way-too-young ears. I always listened to them during those days and my brother gave me some tapes. When I didn't live with him anymore I didn't have any source of metal and didn't listen to music for like 2-3 years. Then I decided that I had to start over again on my own. So I saved a lot of money [a lot for me when I was 12] and wanted to buy a cd.... I didn't really know what I was going to buy but when I saw the Rhapsody logo I was like "Yes!" and Bought Symphony of Enchanted Lands II.

Rhapsody means a lot for me and I highly respect them, but I don't listen to them anymore.

Mezmerize- System Of A Down, anyone who knows me on this site would have already known that

Def Leppard: Hysteria
W.A.S.P.: Live...In THe Raw
Mercyful Fate: Don't Break The Oath
Helloween : Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 1, alll on vinyl.

First album - star wars soundtrack back in 1977, was a gift.

first tapes i ever got... was part of an order joining one of those old record/tape clubs:
Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger
ZZ Top - Eliminator
Van Halen - 1984

first proper metal - Suicidal Tendencies - How Will I Laugh Tomorrow...

I think it was either Led Zeppelin 4, Soundgardens Superunknown, or Sly And The Family Stones Greatest Hits...all 3 of those albums have been in my life for a long ass time in some capacity, can't even remember if the Soundgarden one was mine...because I sure as shit don't have it anymore.

The first album I ever bought was Bloodbath - Nightmares made flesh.

First ever Rock album I've ever listened to was Pink Floyd's Final Cut (or maybe it was Ummagumma)..
And the first ever Metal album I listened to was Sepultura's Roots.. It was the first album I've ever listened. Before that there was some other Rock/Metal videos I'd watched. Marilyn Manson, Nirvana, Moonspell and Pantera were those bands I remember..

Metallica - S&M.

Dad gave it to me as a present when I graduated from high school.

The first album I ever bought myself with my paper route money at the ripe old age of ten was Meet the Beatles along with the K-Tel compilation Rock '80. In my defense, the K-Tel album did contain Rush's "The Spirit of Radio" (though I really got it for The Knack's "My Sharona").

I'm not completely certain on this, but I believe the first metal album I bought was Judas Priest's Defenders of the Faith. Though Metal for Breakfast may have come before it.

I think the first album I bought was probably, Ugly Kid Joe's "America's Least Wanted".

Black Sabbath - Paranoid on cassette, my brother was certain I was going to Hell for that!!!

My first rock album (no cd's then!! LOL) was KISS - Destroyer and the rest was KISStory !!

Back in 1990, I was in early 10th grade if i remember right, I bought my first 2 cassettes, Iron Maiden's No Prayer for the Dying and a compilation of Black Sabbath with Ozzy. Loved the both a lot back then, metal was something new for me then, and after i got some more Maiden music, became my favourite band for a while - IM is still one of my favourite bands.

I guess it was something from Korn

The first cd I ever bought was Satellite by P.O.D. I used to love P.O.D. when I first started getting into music. Heard them on the radio all the time. Now I cant stand the album and just recently sold it.

I think my first CD was "Volúmen Brutal" by Barón Rojo. Probably, the best spanish album/band ever

Megadeth - Youthanasia

i had heard "The Killing Road" on the radio by "accident" one friday morning when i was 9 years old, i instantly fell in love with that "new kind of music" ... went to the music store and bought it on a cassette tape.. and became a metalhead since, that was about 15 years ago

Metallica - Ride the Lightning, and Sepultura - Arise (right after it) [in cassette no cds back then]

My first one was Metallica's ...And Justice For All. It was my brother's before me and he kindly gave it to me and introduced me to metal. And the rest is history, as one says.

Thank you brother
