Your First Rock/Metal Album?

Neverwhere

I think the first album I ever received as my own without burning was PODs Satelite.

That was a good album.

Motley Crue

I should count myself fortunate that I didn't pick up something cringeworthy like New Kids on The Block

Funny you should say that, cause when I was 12, thats what I was listening to lol...but I was also into both Queen and Meat Loaf, and I didn't buy those albums, I mostly got them free from relatives as either presents or "taped"

I do remember buying Queen, the Flash Gordon soundtrack, and really enjoying the orchestral feel to their music. That was prob the first Queen album I bought myself, at a car boot sale, with my own money.

However, the first proper Metal CD i ever bought, was Guns N Roses Live Era 86-93 and a few weeks later I got Metallica's Garage Inc and S&M...which defined by musical preferences to date...

That is a good question. As far as I can remember, the first album I bought was Green Day's 'Dookie' from 1994, but I can't remember when I bought it. I think that is a good first album.

Same as myself, I think

Linkin Park's 'Hybrid Theory'. Bought it in Tesco's while shopping with my mam. Very metal. :pac:

The first metal album I ever bought was Iron Maiden's Live After Death. After listening to it I went out and bought a Maiden album every week until I had them all. (At the time Somewhere in Time was the latest)

I kind went off them after No Prayer for the Dying and haven't bought (or heard) another Iron Maiden album since.

The most recent metal album I got was Death Magnetic, but my very first album was.........wait for it........


Thriller, by Michael Jackson!!

Civilian_Target

Wow, you guys had some really great intros. Dance of Death, Deuce, And Justice, RATM....

If you count The Beatles - White Album as Rock, that was it. If you don't, the first was Möterhead - Ace of Spades

T3h-Slayer

just like most rock addicts in the country i live, i started with hybrid theory, in 2002. but i still thinks that this, meteora and reanimation are the only good albums of linkin park.

V9

It was either Oasis' "Don't Look Back in Anger" or Queens Greatest Hits, cant rightly remember.

starflake

My Dad gave me Harvest-Neil Young when I was about 8 I reckon, It's still one of my favourite albums now

i think it was mother's milk, by the red hot chili peppers. the first one i really bought, not burned...

nacho libre

Exodus - Fabulous Disaster

LD 50

my first was LP's Hybrid Theory. Good album at the time. since then, I've moved on to better and heavier things.

Numina

Deftones - S/T when it came out

Otis Driftwood

The first album I ever bought was either Divine Intervention by Slayer or Far Beyond Driven by Pantera.Cant remember which.
First album I ever had (it was a copied tape) was I think Master of Puppets.Got that around 1990 at the tender age of 11 and never looked back.

DazMarz

Got my first rock/metal albums at 13. Bought 3 in the one go. They were:

"1987" by Whitesnake
"Thunder And Lightning" by Thin Lizzy
"Slippery When Wet" by Bon Jovi

These 3 albums started my passion for rock/metal. As such, I hold them particularly close to my heart even to this day.

Motley Crue

Queen's Greatest Hits 2, MeatLoaf's Bat Out of Hell

and Bryan Adams "Waking Up The Neighbourhood"

My first GNR album was Live Era, my first Machine Head album was Hellalive and my first Metallica album was Garage Inc....weird but I never got the studio releases first

Mine was a bootleg of Metalica's Master of Puppets. When it first appeared in the house I thought it was satanic. But it sounded so so good, i embraced my relationship with the point eared fiend before bellowing relief that it wasnt satanic at all!

The BOFH

I bought Powerage by AC/DC when I was 9 in 80/81, Sin City is still my favourite song, the version of Sin City on the limited edition dual CD AC/DC Live from the Razor's Edge tour was recorded in Dublin where I saw them. That is quite awesome really.

PattheMetaller

I bought two tapes for my first "rock" purchase, way back in 1980: Status Quo " 12 Gold Bars":eek: and Kiss "Destroyer".:cool:

First "metal" purchase was "Ride the Lightning" on vinyl when it was released.:D

thebigcheese22

Greatest of the Chili Peppers.

Twilightning
