What was the VERY first Metal album you bought

[Suwarin]

The first Metal Album I bought on my own was
Sacrilege BC -Too cool to pray..
Before that my sister had all the old Iron Maiden Stuff and Kiss Y&T etc..

 

[interrupt]

Judas Priest "Stained class"

 

[Svartsinn]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, well I'm not sure if KISS is metal but it sure is the band that lead me into metal for the years to come. So I was just a little punk when I bought Kiss "Unmasked" on LP in 1983-4 some time.

Hey, it's rather funny how you all go "well, if Kiss is metal..." or "If you think Bon Jovi is Metal then..."...

To me everything is Metal right from AC/DC to some grindcore-band. When I heard Helloween's Keeper 1 album the first time, I thought it was thrash metal or something. And what about the first time I heard Metallica's Fight Fire With Fire, I was sure that this kind of brutal Metal would never end up in my collection

Everybody just seems to be listening to harder and harder stuff, the longer they listen to this wonderfull genre.

To many non-Metal people, Bon Jovi is actually quite hard, and I still believe it's a part of the Heavy Metal scene, placed in the "soft" end of the whole scale...

Correct me if you think I'm wrong, BUT at the same time think about how hard your very first heavy experience really was

 

[Lucretia]

you are right, of course. Though I´m still wondering if I´ll end up with some Grindcore stuff sometime

 

[Maraska]

YES! YES! MORE GORE-GRINDCORE! *Playing Lord Gore *

Hell i don't listen to grind but Autophagous orgy is funny!

 

[Lucretia]

Hell no!! Remember, I´m a girl

 

[Hammered_gods]

Yeah more gore,blood and obscene disgusting things Without it is metal nothing

 

[Kroppus]

I have no fucking idea..
The first lp i bought was Sex Pistols - Never mind the bullocs..
I guess the first (metal) have to be one of this 3.
Venom - Black Metal
Motörhead - Ace of Spades
Metallica - Kill'em All

Whatever it was of them that came first....

 

[Erdo]

inte en jävla aning

Well, the first album bought under legal circumstances would be a few of Stratovarius midtime releases. Or perhaps Rage... must have been early, sience I've nowadays got so fucking loads of Lingua Mortis CDs.

 

[Supercharger]

hmmm my first exposure to heavy music was MTV with beavis and buthead..damn I miss them on MTV

 

[PsychicVeteran]

Blue Öyster Cult - Secret Treaties (if I remember correctly)

 

[icy_ice]

my first one was gamma ray - insanity and genius
still my favourite one

 

[Svartsinn]

I guess I don't agree that Kiss and Bon Jovi is Metal. I think we could call it Hard Rock or Heavy Rock...but personally I think it should be a bit rougher to be in the Metal Genre. One of those early bands that started in the crossing between rock and metal in my poinion is Accept, started as Rock and became harder and harder - ended up as Metal. But I'm sure alot of you disagree...

My first experiende with hard music is with a GnR-concert on television when I was very young. Listened to albums from my father of Black sabbath, Deep purple and Metallica.
My first own metal album was Megadeth-Cryptic writings
I may consider myself as a newby
