Same here - I started off on No Leaf Clover & Nothing Else Matters, but The Thing That Should Not Be was what got me hooked. I started listening to the Load/Reload stuff next, liked that and the Black Album, but nowadays it's just Kill 'Em All/RTL/Puppets, still listening to Justice and like it better than re/load. Can't wait to hear the new album but worried it'll be another load/reload (or worse :eek: ).
After 'tallica got into Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, G'N'R from my friends, but now into all sorts via the wonderful process of self-discovery

Iron Maiden from playing Carmageddon 2.
Before that i never listened to music really.

The 1st Metal band I ever listened to was Iron Maiden but I actually had alot of different music phases until I finally settled into Metal and they were:

1. Metal (Iron Maiden (7SOA7S), MetallicA, PanterA)
2. Dance Music (The Prodigy, N-Trance etc)
3. Grundge (Nirvana, Pearl Jam etc)
4. Dance & Rap (Notorious, 2 Pac etc)
5. Rock and Metal (Since '98)

So there are my phases. I had plenty of them, thankfully I found my true niche, HEAVY ****IN' METAL.

First of all, I heared KoRn's song Blind in Street Fighter's ending [the anime] .. I liked it, but not more when I saw LINKIN PARK's Papercut video on TV I went carzy for them!!

Now I love to hear LINKIN PARK, Ill Nino, P.O.D. & other bands like them ..

Paper cut not Crowling!! ^^;

Had to be ACDC with Highway to Hell followed closely by Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast.:D

Never looked back tho my tastes expanded somewhat....

Metallica for me, although I remember listening to the songs from Quake2 and some of them were class i thought.

I think Rob Zombie did most of the music for Quake 2. Pretty good, but nowhere near Trent Reznor's masterpiece Quake 1 soundtrack - I still listen to that! Don't often play the game anymore though

A band called Sonic Mayhem did most of the music for Quake 2 and 3, afaik, and Rob Zombie did one song on the soundtrack.

Shred

It would have been a mixture of Judas Priest-Motorhead-AC/DC and Saxon around 82/83 (but had thought Angus Young was really cool before that:) All of which were being played by me older brothers for as long as I can remember...

Then there was me other brother, the dance DJ, thank jaysus he didn't influence me:D
