As a kid, playing Mom & Dads records; lots of blues records, Clarence brown, buddy guy, BB king, howlin wolf, + many more..., Elvis, beach boys, Beatles, lots of old country , hank Williams, Merle haggard, will Nelson etc etc. have a great base of good music, then I started hangin with my older cousin, he introduced me to thin lizzy, Black Sabbath, coven, deep purple, nektar, Donovan, Rob dylan, many others,!
Then I heard Paul Samson, my life changed, the British metal explosion hit me like a ton of bricks, then onto Judas Priest, Y&T, kiss (they were ok)
then the true metal scene enveloped me, and I’ve not looked back.
mercyful fate
slayer
metallica & Megadeth (Mustaine, being the better of the two bands)
Bathory
and every metal band from the early 80s’ til now (although the only metal I really get into now are those retro thrash bands playing 80’s thrash into the 2000-2020
but after a Napalm Death/carcass/1349 concerts, I find myself listening to John Denver/Donovan/humble pie on the way home.
