Probably true I'm 31.

Way younger than I am.

Well since yoU're older than me, did you ever have any music on reel to
reel?

I've heard that's the best way to hear it. Personally I owned two
LPs when I was a little kid started collecting music on cassette when I
was 11 and switched to cds at 13. And in recent years I've shifted the
vast majority of my listening to flac files at home and high quality
mp3s away from home. At least at 31 no one says to me "you're still just
a baby". I got that a lot in my 20's even though I was already bald.
Hell I started balding at 19.

As I was driving home today thinking about my endless job search and
being depressed about it. I started thinking about how listening to
metal always makes me feel better especially fade to black when I'm
feeling down. After listening to that song I started thinking about
bands that probably 99% of metalheads started out on.

Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Metallica
Pantera - definitely my least favorite of this list but they were the
biggest metal band to break in the 90's

I think it's fair to say almost all metalheads listened to one of those
bands first they liked it a lot and then started listening to other
bands and then going deep into it after that. With the nature of the
music industry changing due to the net do anyone think there will be
another well known metal band to come along and bring millions of new
fans into metal? Time will tell, holler if you think I left any out.

Well, I'd add in Zeppelin regardless of if they are metal or not. Same
with Kiss.
As for the next big thing, I think it would have to be a band that thumbs
itselft at the established music scene, whatever that is today. For most
of us that was Metallica so will there be another like this? If so I
fear it will be a Manson/Slipknot ordeal.

John (my first metal was Priest and Sabbath)

I was wondering when someone would bring up Zeppelin we could say that
they were "proto-metal" and did have a big influence on the genre. Yeah I
did leave out nu-metal and such because I don't really consider it metal
per se and fans of that stuff typically don't get into older stuff like
sabbath and slayer. They're generally not typical "metalheads" in my
opinion.

I know your pain...long hair doesn't look so good without the full quaff and
at the time (mid 80s) only shithead skinheads had the shaved head...and I
didn't like them even though I did like some of the music.

I'm a baby and want my bottle wwwaaaahhh!!! So about the reel to reel
how was the overall sound quality if you remember it? I've heard reel to
reel is the absolute closest that you can get to the the sound of the
master studio tracks.

Yeah Metallica were the band that got me, but it had nothing to do
with the music. I saw a cover and knew it would annoy the family
(other than my dad who's an old rocker anyway). So at a rather tender
age I insisted against the advice of the family that they purchase
Kill em All. From there I moved on to Slayer, and then went through
my dads collection and found LZ and the Sabbs. So that's how I
started on metal and following through on the LZ I checked out blues,
but a few years down the line. Through friends at school I also
listened to some classical music as well, though I only dipped my toes
here and there. That pretty much covers all my main music areas.

Like everything, it depends on the source tapes. I don't remember it
all that well, and I believe all the tape recordings were off of vinyl
albums, so I don't think the tapes we had were much of a tell. I
hardly remember it, though, hell it's been probably more than 25 years
ago since I probably last heard it. Maybe more years than that.
