doesn't matter vs..Its what you consider metal..Speak your mind.I think there is a wide age range here, so that makes the conversation more interesting.version sound wrote:Depends what consider metal. KISS? Van Halen? Zeppelin? AC/DC?

I was a closet fan of the first two solo Ozzy records when it was still shameful to be a punk who listened to ANY metal. The first proper metal records I bought were:
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Motorhead - No Remorse
Iron Maiden - Killers

hey vs..nice picks..I know I posted this subject a while back about Maiden..It's clear to me that 'arry' had a major "punk" influence.It shows on the first two records( and I love D'ianno) do you agree????

I went from being obsessed with KISS to being obsessed with The Ants. Musically it was a bit of a stretch, but both were into make-up and costumes.

Whoa. Like Anacostia or Capitol Hill? Either way, that must have been...interesting...in the 60s/70s...

it's on the fringe of capitol hill. not far from nats stadium. it wasn't so glamorous or expensive in the 60s. but it's well out of my price range now! in many ways, it was right out of a spike lee movie: people sitting on porches listening to the soul stations, or playing records for each other. back then, it was 100% soul music all the time (WOL and WOOK radio stations). even so, it was hard to escape the ubiquitous beatles and the various sound-a-likes that got played in cars and shops everywhere.
