What was the VERY first Metal album you bought

[Carpathian_Wolf]

My first was Anthrax - Fistful Of Metal & Napalm Death - Harmony Corruption!

 

[Blackwizard69]

Seeing the record titles around here (excluding Mug) I'm starting to realize how old I am...

It was AC/DC - Let There Be Rock

 

[Lucretia]

can´t remember the first real Metal album... but I had Europe- The Final Countdown, an old Scorpions LP and some Bon Jovi Tapes... guess that´s how it started

 

[Satariel]

Judas Priest - Painkiller

 

[monochrom]

Gary Moore - Wild Frontier

Hardrock album, actually. So it probably was Operation:Mindcrime or 7th Son. I switched over from hardrock and mainstream rock to metal in 88.

 

[Metalsulm]

Judas Priest - British Steel
(I guess)

First METAL album I got was Ride the Lightning, when I was like 11 or so. I went to the store right after the black album came out, but I didn't have enough allowance money to buy it. All the other Metallica albums were cheaper, so I just guessed and grabbed one, because I just wanted to get any Metallica. The rest is history.

I remember Europe and Alice Cooper - School's Out LP's (that one came from my uncle ) The first i bought with my own money was either Grotesque or Marduk - Opus Nocturne

When I were 11 years old, I was in a birthday party a there were some older guys listening to Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind. I stopped playing with my friends just to hear that strange band. In the next week, I went to the mall with my mum and bought a Piece of Mind tape. Some time later, influenced by a older cousin, I bought Sepultura - Beneath the Remains. Now he listens to country and techno music...

My 1st metal album was a combo deal.It was KISS Destroyer & Rock & Roll Over in the late 70's.Shit.I AM OLD!

 

[Ormir]

Iron Maiden - Killers \m/

 

[Karsten]

I guess it was Dio- The Last In Line in´85, but I´m not sure...

 

[Zombi]

Fucking Ride The Lightning

my metal addiction started in the early nineties when MTV played many metal videos of Metallica, Guns n' roses and Megadeth and Beavis and Butthead. I was really interested because of the raw energy most of those bands gave me and my mom who said they were all drug addicts (that goes for most of some members of guns n' roses and megadeth that time). I became definantly hooked on when I saw Metallica's "Until it sleeps" video and bought Load. Allthough that isn't considered a metal record thesedays So my first one must be Youthanesia from Megadeth
