Bone Thugs-n-Harmony (E. 1999 specifically)

:thumb:

These guys were one of the first bands I really loved as well. I've already mentioned metallica/megadeth as the 1st, but these guys were huge for me shortly after even though they're not metal. I listened to 1977 just over and over as a freshman.

I actually went back and put that disc on again about a week or two ago, while I was driving, and it's still one of the best sing-a-long albums I've ever heard. I nearly went hoarse. ><

ah thats a good one...i still listen to it on occasion.

interestingly it took me a while to get into them while i hit my grunge phase because i was convinced they wrote mainly acoustic music. my dad had unplugged and played it when i was really little...so i had no idea lol

I'm pretty sure it started back when I was around 13 and was on some forum and some kid posted a video saying something like "I bet you can't figure out what this guy is saying". It was a link to some Nirvana video, I think it was Dive, and it really clicked with me.

When I was younger I always had a problem with growing up, I thought that teenagers were looked down upon and I didn't really want to be a part of it and I associated music with teenagers so I had always avoided it.
So I began listening to a lot of Nirvana stuff that was just hosted off of sites and finally got Itunes and bought Nevermind and soon after In Utero

I was really intrigued by the band and read a lot about them and by reading about them other bands surfaced.
After a while I went to a friends house and he had just gotten a comp called "American Hardcore" which had bands like Circle Jerks, Black Flag, MDc, and Bad Brains on it. I could remember Dave Grohl talking about the Bad Brains in Interveiws and Kurt Cobain and The Melvins were both big fans of Flippers album "Generic" (which had a song on there) and after listening to Bad Brains "Pay To ***" I was hooked.
