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.

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.

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.

Probably true. I know it was BS for me, although JP and IM followed
along real soon.

It's hard to say, because metal bands similar to the above do not
sell like the above did back in the day.
However, if some metal band has 10,000,000 visits to their myspace
page and 20,000,000 plays, their music may be as well known to the
younger set as those bands above were to their times.

Yeah I definitely dont't know what the "younger set" is doing nowadays.
I'm constantly discovering new bands but I have no idea how popular they
are.

Think I`ve said this here before but here goes again...my sister is 7 years
older than me and was listening to a lot of rock and metal in the late
70`s...I distinctly remember her having albums like 2112, Paranoid, Highway
to Hell, A Night at the Opera, Led Zep 4 and Hello!...it was 2112 and
Paranoid that made a particular impression one me, especially 2112. When I
was 11 her boyfriend at the time gave me a tape with If You Want Blood and
Number of the Beast on it...the former didn`t do much for me but I played
Maiden to death...the following year Piece of Mind was the first metal album
I ever remember buying. Started to look out for music myself and got really
into Dio, WASP, Manowar, Twisted Sister...in `85 bought Bonded By Blood as I
liked the cover and that changed everything...Hell Awaits and Ride the
Lightning followed and I was hooked on thrash.

Well you started with two of the bands really Sabbath and Maiden. I
personally started with Master Of Puppets and then the rest of their
catalog, then shortly onto Megadeth and other thrash and then into more
sub-genres of metal.

You must be quite a bit younger than Ian, and he's a few years
younger than I am.
