My first metal show was Symphony X at a long-gone dive in Brooklyn in 2004, we got there at like 8 and it turned out to be some mini-fest thing and SX went on stage at like 1:30AM It was amazing and I still have the tour shirt I bought

This was the first power metal song I ever heard and it made me absolutely lose my loving poo poo blaring out of a lovely boom box off an old worn out c-tape https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOi-UoGDINE like I'd heard some Megadeth and stuff through my friend before that, but nothing had really clicked. When this came on it was like flipping a goddamn switch. "Metalhead mode: OFF -> ON" Nordick fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Jan 12, 2021 |

My metal introduction was my neighbor playing ReLoad and various Rob Zombie CDs when we'd hang out and play football in the backyard or whatever, and then later when I actually got into music as a whole I found the title track to Master of Puppets on my sister's boyfriend's iPod and had my whole understanding of music changed in the first 30 seconds.

remigious posted:I’m kind of shook about Marko leaving Nightwish I literally came to this thread simply because I saw about Marko and wanted to see what goons feelings and thoughts were. For me I got into Nightwish from Planetside frag videos, and I still absolutely consider them to be my favorite band. I stopped following them when Tarja left/was forced out (whatever there in terms of the details) because the new singer sucked but there's a few songs I'll cherry pick from the pre-Floor Jansen era and Marco's - The Islander is so good. He is for me the person that brings the most energy and recognizability to what was/is Nightwish beyond the lead singer spot. I was supposed to see them last year in CA and now this year for the virtual performance in March, and now no Marco  Also I'd like a large fry and thanks for coming to my ted talk.

xzzy posted:It was all Metallica and Megadeth for me, it's all I knew about because it was pre-internet and if my friends didn't introduce it to me I didn't know it existed. Plus a little Sabbath because my dad had one of their CD's. Well, and Nirvana because I was in high school in 91 and everyone was listening to it. Mostly the same here. Grew up mostly pre-internet so Black Album because of MTV, then Puppets, Lightning, and KIA from local indie CD swap shop. Then Megadeth from Peace to Youthanasia, then a break because I was dumb rear end and joined the Marines, then MAYH through Blackwater Park, Slayer’s Catalog, Arsis, and many others. Now for some reason Sunn O))) and Satan Worshipping Doom are in constant rotation.

It took me years to realize what I wanted from bands I like, and looking at all the punk and metal I jammed a ton as kid it's apparently a lot of D-beats and skank beats.

Dream Theater was probably my favorite band in high school but they started falling off a bit for me after Octavarium.

It's a real bummer that he's leaving, but primarily I'm just hoping he'll be okay. Dude sounds pretty spent. That said I am worried for the band too. Marko left some pretty loving huge boots to fill.

Gio posted:i think it was sophomore year of high school when i thought scenes from a memory was the greatest musical achievement of mankind That was the first music CD I ever purchased for myself, good times. I don't really listen to much Dream Theater these days but I put on Images and Words recently and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I have one gripe though, there's a part in Under a Glass Moon where James LaBrie screams the word "time" in a really weird way that I can't stand, it's like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Because the question was for cheesy European power metal.  Thigh to be fair I didn't personally verify that every band posted was euro, but manowar definitely isn't.
