Metallica before anyone knew of them.

I never took a deep dive into Nine Inch Nails, but liked what I heard. One lyric that always stuck with me was "Gray would be the color if I had a heart"

 

 

Trent is a great lyricist.  Here another NIN 3 pack

Another Trent line that stuck with me- "I Wanna Open It Up and Swim in it until I drown"

We used to play Seek and Destroy and Twisted Sister You Are Under the Knife in the lockerroom before HS Football game.  It would get us ultra pumped.

 

I saw Metallica in tiny club, The Agora Ballroom in West Hartford CT, 1985.  There was no more than 500 people there

Fun Fact-  Dave Mustaine wrote most of Kill Em All.

 

 

Metallica recorded songs by other artists that few knew besides me, back then.

I'm probably repeating myself - and not trying to one up you - but I saw Metallica at a small local bar/club a week before Kill Em All came out. They were the opener and played the upcoming album from front to back. It was jaw dropping.  In a full circle moment my younger son just finished his freshman year at Virginia Tech. The football team enters the stadium to Enter Sandman and the crowd goes nuts. It's a big thing at the school to the point that they play Sandman at commencement. Even better, Metallica played at VT along with Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies this spring and it was my sons first concert. Good times.

Rob Halford is a Metal God! Metal was my fave genre in the 80's and I still love it, but I love other genres too and drifted away from metal. Last year Judas Priest put out an album that took me back in time and put a big smile on my face. This kicks @ss, Halford is 72 and still bringing it

 

 

Buffalo is an awesome Aussie Stoner band from the early 70s.  Listen to his Halford like scream.  I wonder if Rob got his famous high pitched scream from Buffalo 

 

3:12 is the first Halford like scream

This is a blast from the past! 

[Pete]

I too was a huge metal and punk fan in the 80s.  I went to a preppie HS, and I felt like I was only one listening to Venom or Bathory.  I went to a shitton of punk and metal shows!  I’m thanked on a Fates Warning album.  
 

Long story short, I always loved vinyl and nice systems!  I learned many bands from KickAss Monthly and from WNHU, my local college radio station.   I bought tons of metal and punk vinyl back then Bathory, Misfits, Sodom, Destruction, Exodus, Overkill. Exciter, Raven, Saint Vitus, Slayer, Melvins, Black Flag, Anthrax, Black Death, Exploited, Candlemass, Mercyful Fate, Kreator, Witchfinder General, etc.  I was long time dating a girl who didn’t like that, but loved NIN and Zappa and The Clash. We were moving into a new apartment, and we wanted to declutter. My mother was a religious zealot, and she hated those records.  I knew one other kid who listened and appreciated all of that metal and punk.  He was kind of an outcast, wrong part of town in snobby town, but a good kid.  He worked at a local gas station. I was feeling very generous, we went to the gas station.  I gave him a crate of all those bands listed above, and then some.  He was super pumped!  It felt good for a bit, my conscious was clear.  There were 40-50 records in that crate.

 

im huge into vinyl. In some ways, im like what the what the hell did I do?  Those records are worth $ and in high demand now.  Who would of thought?

I’ve tried to track down kid, and even find out, what I gave him.i can remember about 20 of them.  I can only imagine what the other albums are

.  So now I try and track down a copy of every album I can remember. A bunch have been reprinted, and are affordable.  Venom - At War With Satan- leather gatefold English pressing was one I gave away

Awesome! I listened to some of those bands but your taste was just a bit more hardcore than mine. Our go-to was Kerrang! magazine and a local record shop (The Wax Museum) that catered exclusively to metal. I first read about Metallica in a free 'publication' that I picked up there. It was black and white, maybe 5-10 pages long and I think it was written and printed  by Jon Zazula - probably in his  basement.  In his write up he said something to the effect that he had seen Metallica before, wasn't planning on watching the band up close but then they hit the stage and he realized 'this is not a band that you turn your back on'. That quote stuck with me and was the main reason me and my friend went (they were opening for Raven on the Kill Em All For One tour) - the other reason was we got kicked out of a campsite (and nearly arrested) the night before.

 

I honestly don't remember what I did with most of my record collection, but I think I downsized during a move too. I kept a milk crate's worth either because I loved the cover (i.e Y&T's Mean Streak), it had sentimental value or it was Zappa/Mothers album (probably 15-20). But I haven't had anything to play them on for years. One of my other cool stories is that my father used to be a bit of an audiophile. He'd take me to stereo shows in NYC when I was young and made sure I had a decent setup. He was big on JBL and my first set of speakers were JBL 4311's. I have a Zappa album where the liner notes say that the album was intended to be played on 4311's. Good times.

 

Anyway, I appreciate your and others contributions here. I get to discover new bands or in this case re-discover music I drifted away from. I'll end by noting that one band I've been diving into lately based on your recommendation is Kyuss!
