| _______________________________ [Mar 15,2004 8:41am - davyp ""] 10 years old my uncle showed me Metallica.... One was the song that did it for me.... |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 15,2004 9:16am - the_reverend ""] spalding, can you get a copy of the picture with lasers in the background? at age 7 I got my first quiet riot and def lepard tapes! I had older cousins that were into that. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 15,2004 9:27am - subjugate ""] it depends on what you classify as metal when i was a kid black sabbath, deep purple, hendrix and led zepplin were metal in that day today they are just rock if you say they are metal due to the fact that i'm older than dirt and in that era that is what metal was then i'd say7 or 8 that is when i started borrowing my dads records @12(1978) i heard KISS at my cousens house in ME. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 15,2004 9:30am - davyp ""] subjugate said: @12(1978) i heard KISS at my cousens house in ME. wow your almost 40..... yeah thats old....... ha ha just kidding..... |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 15,2004 9:30am - Joe/NotCommon ""] Jim practically invented metal when he was 64 way back in 1958 |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 15,2004 9:31am - the_reverend ""] he meant 1878 there davy. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 15,2004 9:33am - Joe/NotCommon ""] I got into metal a few days ago |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 15,2004 12:20pm - the_reverend ""] yeah, as we all know, nothing spells cool to a 14 year old like their parents. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 15,2004 12:22pm - MyDeadDoll ""] my parents are cool. hehehe. it's very rare, but i love 'em. only they would be cool enough to make penis jokes with me while watching OZ after friday night dinner. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 15,2004 12:36pm - davyp ""] MyDeadDoll are you parents younger, cause my parents are 19 and 20 years older than i am and i have the same relationship with my parents that you do with yours... at my dads, cock jokes are a main attraction at the dinner table when i go there for dinner or what not....

Then in 89 at day care my buddy and I would beat the shit out of kids when Guns N Roses would come on so I was about 6 then but that shit doesn't count. But I didn't go to my first show or buying records until I was 13. Oh I was born in 83. |

| ________________________________________ [Mar 16,2004 8:44am - ieatpeople4god ""] I was six when my uncle brought me to k-mart/ ames / equivalent and bought me a walkman,(props to cool uncles) he said pick out a tape and i grabbed "Iron Maiden - powerslave"! he also took me to the first movie that i got to choose on my own "Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo" another story same uncle-When i was 14 he took me and my friend to the mall -salem-, we did the old " we'll meet you at the foodcourt at blah blah time" because kids can't hang out with adults in the mall it's not "cool" well me and my buddy were in filenes basement - bargain shopping- we were flipping through the Girbaud jeans rack. some of the jeans were marked $35 some were marked $20. i grabbed a pair of the $20 jeans brought them to the counter the lady rang it up and then said wait we need a price check, a few minutes go by then the manager says o.k. I pay then we leave start heading up the stairstowards the food court and my uncle is right there and starts heading towards us. all of a sudden some Dude grabs me and says come with me, he was in plain clothes but he flipped some filene's basement security badge at me and is pulling me forcefully down the stairs. well here's where it gets good - MY UNCLE PUSHES THE GUY GRABS ME , HE THEN STARTS SMACKING HIMSELF AND SCREAMING "THIS GUYS GOT MY WALLET, HELP, HELP, HE'S MUGGING ME, HE'S GOT MY WALLET! AAHHH!" you should have seen the look on all the people in the mall's faces, well after about five seconds of that the guy let me go, but he convinced us to go on our own accord to the back room of filenes basement because he was accusing me of "price switching" a form of shoplifting. so he was like girbaud's we sell for $35 and we have video surveilance of you switching tags. On this video wow, alright first of all I'm not white and neither was my friend, we are both mixed black and white, he looks darker than me though, on this video you can see us walk into the store and then he zooms in on us right away and then follows us throughout the store what a racist prick! we were semi homeyed buying girbaud and all but at that age we were down with metal and comic books along with rap. so he zooms in on me looking at a tag then i put my hand in my pocet and then later i look at another tag. what a fuck! the cops came, i explained that it was bullshit and that the jeans were marked $20. it took my friend brining in 10 pairs of jeans from the rack- 5 marked $20 and 5 marked $35 for them to let me go. they sent me 2 $50 gift certificates in the mail to make things o.k. , but i should have sued the piss out of them for racism based false accusation. later my uncle told me that was his "anti mugging technique", act as crazy as you can and scream as much fucked up shit as you can think of. he lived in manhatten in the 80's. he also cut off his own hand because he figured out a fault in a black and decker saw design, he was a writer-back in early 80's there was pens and typewriters. well he cut it off it fell 16 stories the cops found it on theb roof of a shorter building he got it sewed back on and he sued black and decker for 11 million dollars but his crazy assed wife(not that he wasn't crazy) testified against him that he did it on purpose. so he only got 1.3 mil and half went to the lawyers, the saw got recalled. she divorced him shortly after and took half of his 650 tousand, what? she could have not said a word and taken half of 11 mil! well sorry to give you guys this extra long uncle story on the when did you first get into metal thread but he helped me get into metal so i decided to give you a little background info on him because he was a cool uncle! the same uncle also took me to see dune - before the breakin' 2 movie and we'd rock out to blondie-before i got powerslave, it's to early in the morning for me to type this much |
