I don't hate to admit that at all. Back when Metallica were getting me interested in metal they were still making good music.

Growing up I always liked punk for whatever reason. I got into metal via bands like Napalm Death and Carcass. They sounded raw and punky enough to get my attention while providing a fresh sound I hadn't heard.

Thats not so bad then, I was into them around 98' 99' timeframe. Same time the Napster cry baby fest went down, I also though S&M was a good album. I had issues.

Something in the music just resonated with me. There were times when I could swear my heart was beating in sync with the double bass drum of Death and Deicide. In my younger days (12-13) I was huge into the "Big 4" (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax) as well as the more popular newer metal bands like Slipknot, System of a Down, and Avenged Seven Fold. When I was 16 I kind of had a bit of a falling out with metal as I quickly jumped on the alternative rock bandwagon where I stayed til I was about 18, then I started getting back into the more extreme metals and paid little to no attention to the mainstream music. A lot of my music was coming from interent forums and my older friends who were always into the underground extreme stuff.

The thing I find most fascinating about metal is that it and hip hop are the two most prevalent genres of music you'll find throughout the world. If anyone has seen the documentaries "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" or its' predecessor "Global Metal" will agree with this.

metallica got me into metal, and bfmv got me into metalcore ( which is now my favorite genre )

Yeah it was Metallica's self-titled album that did the damage

i saw the video for Enter Sandman on Kerrang! tv when i was 14 and though it was the coolest thing ever at the time.

Well that couple extra years means that it was ...And Justice for All that got me into Metallica, not the black album. So there.
