Well, I've been looking in the forum, but I couldn't find a topic like this one. Now that I finally got my 100 posts, I can create it . (Hope it wont be locked or deleted though).

I'd like to know when you guys have started to like metal. I think it reveals many things about people's personality, as in my opinion, Metal is not a kind of music you can listen to "by chance". I think there is a kind of... evolution, which eventually makes you listen to this music.

Personally, I started being into Metal only 3 years ago, in 2003, (which is kinda late,) thanks to Rammstein, I was about 14, but even then, I was more into Industrial and Rock. Even if I've been raised with a big brother who used to listen to classic Metal bands such as Iron Maiden and Metallica for instance, I've never thought I would regard myself as a "metalhead" one day.

I guess I wasn't mature enough to understand what Metal could really mean. But we all grow up. I've never really had a "happy" life, and I found in Metal things that helped me much. There were feelings I couldn't name, and Metal enabled me to understand more things about my own life and about people in general.
I think I wouldn't have started listening to this kind of music if I wasn't forced to leave the place I had been living in for years, for the second time. That special event, when I had to move and leave everything behind, made me start listening to Metal. And now i know i cant live without it.

Its your turn now , I'd like to know how and when you started listening to Metal. It might be really interesting I think, and I'm sure there is a lot to say .

Probably when I was about 10. The band that brought me into metal was Rammstein.

For me it was about 5 years ago I would say. I stumbled upon an AMV that happen to have Iron Maiden's 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' playing. I ended up digging through their discography and have loved metal ever since then.

In late 7th grade early 8th grade (I'm in 9th now).
I was huge into Video Games and I loved music, but mainly classic stuff like The Beatles.
A friend I had through video games was into metal and he posted a song from Type O (still one of my all time favorite bands) online. It was 12 Black Rainbows, the B-side to Everything Dies. After that I listened to Cinnamon Girl. I listened to Type O a lot for a while, then my next metal band was Opeth, so immediately I was into the extreme side of metal. But I've been into it ever since. Now I listen to bands like Leviathan, The Ruins Of Beverast, Converge, Blut Aus Nord, Deathspell Omega, etc.
