Motley Crue 'Shout at the Devil' on cassette. Saw the ad in Circus magazine for the 'new' release and went out and grabbed it. 12 yrs. old....all downhill after that. Been listening to metal/hard rock ever since.

Kiss Alive II

I bought Bobby Darin's greatest hits at a garage sale when I was 5.
I got the Beatles greatest hits when I was 6.
For my seventh birthday I wanted a KISS record, anything else was a bonus. I got Dressed To Kill because it scared my mom the least. For most of the '70's my meager allowance went to KISS records.

i was the youngest of 8 kids so there were plenty of great albums that I took beatings from for "borrowing".
In all honesty, I got caught in 5th grade trying to steal a Jimi Hendrix-"Smash Hits"
album from "Korvettes", New York's version of "Target" at the time. Mom and Dad were very pleased about it-lol
As far as my first purchase, it was "Caribou" by Elton John about a week later.

Crap.........I remember Korvettes. . We had one in the Bronx on Bruckner Blvd.

Anyway, my first would probably have been some bubble gum group from the late 60's like Paul Revere and the Raiders or Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods... :ROTF:.

Star Wars soundtrack. Not just the music, it was the full audio cut of the movie. I must have listened to it every day for a year. My friends wonder why I destroy them at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit. :ROTF:

As far as what music I grew up around I listened to a lot of my brothers stuff. Ones I specifically recall are the Beatles white album, Electric Ladyland (Which I believe my mother wouldn't allow the sleeve to be out with the records.), some Frank Zappa and Mothers of Invention albums, Led Zepplin, The Who. Some of my parents Johnny Cash, John Denver, and Carpenters albums. My first albums that started steering me to metal would have been Dirty Deeds, Back in Black when it was first released, All Ozzy era Sabbath, Ozzy Solo. Then I got into Saxon, Maiden, Accept, Loudness (I still have my original release import CD of Disillusion) and went on from there.

I'm not 100% sure. It was either:

Motley Crue's "Dr. Feelgood" or
AC/DC's "Who Made Who".

The Who Tommy

[Jason1212]

I remember listening to my parents records on the huge console player they had in the living room. When I got my own record player I would get lectured about not putting their records back. After a while they gave up. I also got a lot of my sister's records as she went through fads. Some were cool (Kiss, Aerosmith) some were not (she had a lot of Donny Osmond's shit). The first record that I laid my own cash out for was I think Three Lock Box by Hagar. It was either that or Blizzard.
