What was the band that got you into metal?

It was Rob Zombie for me. I also got into Slayer, Judas Priest and Slipknot after that. What about you guys?

White Zombie/Rob Zombie (still listening to him today).

Bloodbath got me into death metal and Darkthrone got me into black metal.

What do you consider metal? I listen to all those bands but to me metal is a lot harder like Megadeath, King Diamond, etc.Dracula68

CycleOfViolence

im not into metal, so nobody :P

Metallica, though I rarely listen to metal anymore. Old age grew it out of me.

Stratovarius and Helloween were the first metal bands i truly enjoy it but i wasn't a Metal fan.

But when i heard Nightwish for the first time (Wishmaster age) i knew i have found my genre.

No, but seriously. It was Korn probably. Hey, give me a break, it was 1995 :PEngrish_Major

I think every hard rock/metal fan in the 90's had a Korn phase.

Metallica.

I saw the long version of "One" on MTV Headbanger's Ball back in 1989 and almost wet my pants in glee.

Been a metal fan ever since.

It was Michael Jackson

True, as much nowadays we say "Lol Korn" lot of people had that phase.

They served as a gateway band for a lot of people. On the few occasions Ive come across "Freak on a Leash" playing, 90's me smiles.

DragonForce, though it didn't get me into metal, its just the only metal band that I likeOverlord93

Deftones

Black Sabbath was my starter band. But then I got into really heavy stuff thanks to Strapping Young Lad.

Metallica.

Once I listened to ...And Justice For All, I was pretty much sold.

Sonata Arctica. I was trying to make an amv once (I had no clue what I was doing)and someone recommended Sonata Arctica. So I heard one of their songs, liked it, and put in on a CD in my car. My friend heard it and went "Oh! You listen to power metal?!" I was like "Um... ya" (I didn't know what to say). Then when we got to his house he told me to stay there and he ran in his house and ran out with 4 Blind Guardian and 1 Battlelore CD's. And that's when it started.

Mastodon is the only metal band I like.

Mastodon. Don't listen to them anymore but I still like them.

Amon Amarth is what got me into Black Metal.jediknight52501

I would say.. Fear Factory about six years ago.

Metallica was the start, White Zombie was the band that really got me into Metal and i never looked back. Amon Amarth is what got me into Black Metal.jediknight52501

System of a Down, Deftones, Static X, KoRn, Buckethead, all the usual stuff.
