The moment you fell in love with a band?

WoollyRedHat

For me, it was with Radiohead, was in France when I was about 14, heard the song Creep by them( so stereotypical I know) and since that, have followed them ever since. So when did you fall in love, get introduced to a band that you still follow, or that still means something to you

Muse @ Witness 2001.

About an hour late, it had just absolute pelted down rain for a solid twenty minutes, the crowd were wound up to bits (in a good way) and they came out and I'm almost sure they played Micro Cuts first.

Best gig I've ever been to, and have seen them 7 or 8 times since.

Lionel Messy

Hmm. Not sure i can pinpoint one particular moment but i watch wwe and back in 2000 undertaker's song was "american badass" by kid rock so i bought a kid rock album and reading the sleeve i discovered the riff in that song was sampled from metallica's "sad but true" so in xmas 2000 i got metallica's s and m and grew to love them, i was even in the fan club for a short while. Since metallica i've discovered all kinds of metal but Slayer became my fave band.

ozzfest, punchestown, 2002. The darkness of christ intro then those four ****ing legends walking out on stage. Epic stuff.

Back in June 94 as soon as I heard the first few lyrics by Ghost Face Killa on the song Bring tha ruckus, I was hooked on Wu Tang ever since..

Joe Soap got in ahead of me about the exact same gig and time and i assume it's the same for many others.Muse at Witnness was like a revelation,a glorious moment.Hearing Sunburn,Muscle Museum,New Born,Bliss and Plug in Baby for the first time was just incredible.I have been lucky enough to see them on 7 different occasions since (Dublin Castle,Oxegen 3 times,Marley Park,Point Depot and in it's current state as the 02)and that gig has never really been beaten but Marley Park came close.Good times!

You fell in love With the angelus?

Back when I was a young teenager in 1974 I used to listen to BBC Radio 1 during the day and Radio Luxembourg at night.

Although I can't remember the exact date in 1974, I do remember being blown away when I heard Seven Seas of Rhye by Queen.

Still a huge fan of Queen to this day.

Was in the US for the summer in 1995, my cousin and his friends were going to a concert in north Carolina and asked me to come along. Had never heard of the band, but oh my god when they came out I fell in love with them and are to this day my favourite band with queen a very close second.
The band is "the Dave Matthews band" and my favourite album from them is "under the table and dreaming".

Jimmy Iovine

I was 14 and I "borrowed" my uncle's copy of the Chilis Greatest Hits album. I was up at my grannys and I went out into our car, locked the doors and stuck on the cd player. I was in heaven for the next hour or so. I eventually bought my own copy of it. I ended up playing it so many times that it won't really work any more. It skips all over the place.

Finally got to see them last November. I had been waiting 8 years for the gig. 5 feet away from Flea as he played. Greatest gig I'll ever go to.

That story makes me wish your uncle had better taste in music
