iron maiden and metallica were my first two metal bands, but prior to really getting into metal i had heard some soilwork ( eww lol) and nevermore songs and thought they were pretty cool, especially nevermore, if you wanna know darth, it was " i am the dog" i had already heard a bit of sabbath / dio before i got into maiden but i always thought that was just regular rock and roll, i didnt really know what metal rly was .

They are classified as Nu Metal. Otherwise, it would be Metallica.

I still listen to them, I've seen Maiden twice and Judas Priest as well, and Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio twice.

AC/DC on the other hand...

I got bored with them. But can you blame me?

I'm going to say it since no one else will because everyone has this unexplainable hate for them or feels like if they admit it they are posers

AC/DC turned me into a rock fan in general when i was about 8 years old. Disturbed just introduced me into heavier stuff.

Opeth and Blind Guardian. Though apparently my mom played some Judas Priest when I was pretty young so maybe that.

Sadly...the usual crappy nu-metal bands...Disturbed, Slipknot, etc...:( Thankfully, that lasted all of a month before getting into some REAL metal (Nemesis by Arch Enemy being the first none Nu-Metal song I liked:P)

Only one I saw live in the list was Priest. AC/DC doesn't create much interest after you hear all they have to offer.

I listened mostly to post-grunge radio rock and post-hardcore punk prior to me finding In Flames and Wintersun. Those two got me straight into melodic death metal, completely bypassing the '70s and '80s bands. Since then I've branched off into the more extreme subgenres of metal.

I don't really listen to metal other than some Thrash so it would have to be Metallica. I never liked the whole screaming thing the other types do.

Dragonforce. A friend gave me 2 of their CD's to listen to, and at the time, I thought they were awesome. A few months later, I tried Opeth from a random suggestion in a thread here, and they've been one of my favorite bands since.
