Roxette and Europe, followed by Maiden.

mine was the Manic Street Preachers and Nirvana

Followed by Fear Factory, sepultura and SYL (in 1996!!)

and i still love them all :wub:

Roxette and Europe, followed by Maiden.

Europe! Right, almost forgot them (and no, their pre-"Final Countdown" album "Wings Of Tomorrow" rules. So does John Norum)! After Europe came heavy metal...

I even like Adore.

dude i know alot of SP fans that think Adores their favourite. personally my favourites Mellon Collie. Ive heard Machina is really awesome too

a time when life was totally untroubled and innocent.

Dude! Where have those times gone, ey! *sigh* I'm from the year 1977 and I distinctly remember: after the end of the cold war it all went to shit. The world NEEDS one more superpower and a constant nuke threat, it's what keeps people humble!

What's this topic about again? Oh, good ol' times, yes. Those were good ol' times. I could wear torn jeans with heavy trimmings and only got beat up once. And now? I don't know if people would even notice me or would they beat me up instantly or both: they'd beat me up in the middle of the street and no one would mind or notice. Fucked up world.

Sorry, rant over.

Then: Def Leppard
Now: Def Leppard

Heh, that's one of those bands that I heard as a kid and never knew what it was...until 10 years later! "Rocket" rocked my world.

I think that 2 unlimited song might have been my first single but I'm not sure.

When I was like 3, my sister used to be into kylie inogue/jason donavon and bros (she's 6 years older, and I automatically liked what she did) and she used to copy their tapes for me and cut pictures out of smash hits magazine and stick them on the box so I thought I had the proper tapes, lol

My very favourite when I was really little was Michael Jackson though. Every week I used to watch top of the pops hoping he'd be number 1 (he probably didn't have a single out or anything, but I didn't get how it worked)

My first serious favourite bands and huge influences on me starting to play guitar were smashing pumpkins and green day

And believe it or not, I HAD that very issue, the only one ever in my possession.

mine was black sabbath i know it sounds like i'm trying too hard but my dad played them to me when i was about 5 and it was the best... around that time i also loved a group called , LOIKO THE RUSSIAN GYPSY BAND my mum was friends with them and they were awesome live (first saw them when i was about 6)

BRAVO!

I remember looking at the back of one of my older sister's BRAVO magazines in 1980. Although I was already relatively old at the time, what I saw scared the crap out of me at first: it was a photo of an Eddie mask - the one Maiden used in the "Women In Uniform" video. Today I own every Maiden album, who wudda thunk. Fortunately I was much older when I watched Ridley Scott's "Alien" for the first time...

As for Michael Jacksong: Hell yeah, he fucking sucks! With the exception of his first couple of hits. I like "Beat It", especially for the FACEMELTING guitar solo by Jennifer Batten.

Wasn't that Eddie Vanhalen on "Beat It"?

Ive heard Machina is really awesome too

ok, let's not get crazy.




To be fair, in between that album and the unreleased stuff (Machina II) there's probably an album of decent songs... whether it would make a coherant album, I have no idea.

No, I'm having none of it! I actually love machina now. It's not my favuorite SP album, but it is still amazing!!

1993, Manowar crossed my musical ear and I was "blown" away from this song I heard. I still can't remember which song it was. (starts with running horses and "bashing swords")

I would consider this as my first real thought about music or a band which I should follow. (I didn't *cough* )

By the way in the age of 14, I was scared by an sticker of Kreator. Holy Moly, these guy's are sick, was what I was thinking.


Any ideas which Manowar song I could have heard? I searched on their homepage but when I looked at their Disco, I thought "Fook" - "thats too much".

Errm, could any Manowar fan of you please be so kind and tell me what song I mean?

Thanks in advance Lads and Lasses!
