That is because Maiden is one of the best bands!!

Black Sabbath/Metallica.
Love them both to this day.

Guns N' Roses, and ever since then I have been hooked on metal.

I can't really remember a time when metal wasn't around. I guess its hard to say what the first I listened to and thats why its taken me so long to post here. I can remember growing up and my dad would stay up late at night listening to bands like Rush, Dio, Triumph, Sabbath, Bread, and Rainbow among a lot of others. My uncle used to take me all over the Puget Sound area and there was always good music playing. I guess I was born to listen to rock and metal. The first band that I was obsessed with was Guns n Roses. My sister used to listen to a lot of hair metal in the 80's, and not the decent stuff either. Her fav was Bon Jovi. A friend of hers passed along a copy of Appetite and she didn't like it enough and left it laying around. I must have been about 8 or 9 when I snagged from her. It was the most amazing thing I ever heard. I think I still have that cassette in a box somewhere. I've strayed from metal a few times, but always come back after a few weeks.

Don't tell me you still like GnR...

Yes I do, I still have every album. I can't say that I like every song, but I still have memories attached to a lot of them. There are also many songs that I still like.

What do you mean by that...? Are you insinuating that Guns and Roses is bad??

If you replace bad with a much stronger word, then yes.

Why O.o
