shibby: Gateways To Metal

Hyperion1001 07.28.10	Way back in the days of middle school, 4 and 5 for me. I really didn't like 1 2 and 3 though. Middle school was the dark years though, we don't mention those anymore.
LaCosaNostra13 07.28.10	Jesus, 2, 4, and 5 came out when I was in High School.
TheSpirit 07.28.10	Same albums for me basically except without System of a Down
vanderb0b 07.28.10	2 and 4 are still awesome. SoaD was also my gateway band.
LaCosaNostra13 07.28.10	My gateways to metal included Pantera, Metallica, SYL, and a bunch of nu metal(Sevendust, Korn, Deftones, etc.)
Hyperion1001 07.28.10	It pretty much went System of a Down and Slipknot in middle school, then a friend gave me the MTV Headbangers Ball CD, and i discovered Arch Enemy, Cradle of Filth, and Dimmu Borgir, and then it went on from there.
bloc 07.28.10	Mine's pretty similar, but I'd add Chimaira
shibby 07.28.10	I got into most of them through my older brother. You grow to like music thats blasted from opposite your room everyday. I still really enjoy 1 and 2.
LaCosaNostra13 07.28.10	Now I feel old.
shibby 07.28.10	My bad
MoosechriS 07.28.10	It's gotta be 5 for me i've got all of these but slipknots first album just converted me overnight when i got it. I was listening to loads of rap music and somehow stumbbled onto limp bizkit (i know its a crime!) But somehow found myself liking the guitars which somehow lead me to go out and buy slipknots first album after being recomended it by someone at school. 12 months later i was buying napalm death and cannibal corpse and anything else fast and heavy i could find (also namely the berzerker). Still listen to all of these still apart from 4 pretty much 2,3 & 5 i'll probably still enjoy in about 20 years time when i'm scaring the shit out of my grandkids lol
Yeahtoast 07.28.10	Mine's pretty similar, but I'd add Chimaira [2] Trivium, At The Gates, Korn.
maidenpmcc 07.28.10	Have all these except 2. I think Killswitch sucks, thats just my opinion.
vanderb0b 07.28.10	Killswitch does suck for the most part, but 2 is actually really awesome.
fr33convict 07.28.10	All That Remains, System of a Down, and Metallica were probably the three biggest acts that got me into metal. Lamb of God also played a decent factor in me getting to metal.
TheSpirit 07.28.10	I still love COB
LaCosaNostra13 07.28.10	The only two good songs from Ax7 are I Won't See You Tonight Pt. 1 and Darkness Surrounding.
Hawks 07.28.10	Mine were definitely System of a Down, Slipknot, Korn, and Trivium. Then I went on to Opeth, Cradle of Filth, and Dimmu Borgir and that just led me to a bunch of awesome stuff.
TRMshadow 07.28.10	For Me they are System of a Down - Toxicity & Gojira - The Way of All Flesh
Hyperion1001 07.28.10	Nevermore were the first real metal band i ever heard, and that was because of Jeff Loomis's guitar column in Guitar World magazine. Had no idea who he was, but i saw the video and was like "shit this guy can play".
Hawks 07.28.10	I definitely wanna listen to Toxicity now.
Phrike 07.28.10	my gateways to metal were Metallica and In Flames, how cool is that
lostforwords 07.28.10	Dear Lord, I'm old!!!None of these records was recorded when I started listening to metal...
FruityCatOfDoom 07.28.10	wow. i listened to all of these albums and own them all. weird. still give a few a them a spin once in a while. especially 3 and 4.
Hawks 07.28.10	I definitely still love 3 and 4. Although I discovered 3 after I was already into metal. Both albums are great though.
Obfuscation24 07.28.10	4 and 5 definitely got me into metal along with Disturbed
BallsToTheWall 07.28.10	Good thread I suppose. I just found my first one man black metal band from Jamaica. How badass.
lostforwords 07.28.10	Jamaican Black Metal??!!!We need a name now!!!
dr2den 07.28.10	u so metal
shibby 07.28.10	If I had to pick a favourite from each it'd be: Living Dead Beat My Last Serenade Second Heartbeat Toxicity Spit It Out
Torii 07.29.10	4 and 5 all the way.
