Ph3n0m

the very first metal/rock album you ever got your hands on (either through buying it or been given it (bootleg/pressie)


Slayer - South of Heaven was my first.

(although I found out years later that my parents had chucked all their Sabbath vinyls out......arrrrgggggghhhh)

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

metallica - reload

Karl Hungus

Master of Puppets by Metallica.

Dont be at yourself

Bat Out Of Hell by Meatloaf.

Oeneus

If it counts, my first ever record was Queen - Greatest Hits

But I guess the first real metal album I got was Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction, and it's probably still my favourite!

Um... hmm... I was given Permanent Vacation (Aerosmith) when I was bout 11... so that's kinda formed my tastes somewhat.

Ride The Lightening - Metallica

was the first rock album I bought that was in no way influenced by my parents, I was I think 11 or 12 in the earliest stages of metalhead wannabe I was such a sheep at least I was lead in a good direction, tis a great album still.

Can't remember, it was one of these anyway...
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
G'n'R - Appetite for Destruction
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Metallica - ...And Justice for All
Megadeth - Rust in Peace.

You can probably guess the year...

I'm a fan of any man who would widen a family member's rectal passage.

Frank Grimes

It was either Kill 'em All by Metallica or a Suicidal Tendencies album, I forget now.
