Ooooo!!! Very excited to find this thread! Wish I had time to read it all but very busy being a normal middle aged woman who nobody would think was a metaller 😅In fact, a little while ago, one of the staff in Aldi spotted my Metallica key ring and pretty much screamed that he could not BELIIIEEVE I was a Metallica fan, and we have been good friends ever since 😅
Metallica are my first love, since the day my brother's friend lent us the One single on vinyl. That was it, totally hooked. This was around the time of the black album, but we quickly got hold of their other albums and much preferred the older stuff, especially Master Of Puppets. Battery is still my fave. I've seen them live 8 times, but it could have been more as I've had tickets to see them recently-ish and have ended up not being able to go 😥I've also been looking at the possibility of going to see them in Copenhagen next month, but DS16 is in the middle of his GCSEs and I can't leave him. Nooooooo!!!! In fact, DS16 maaaaay just be named after Papa Het 😉
Also loved bands like Pantera, Machine Head, Sepultura, Megadeth (I met Dave Mustaine with my kids when they were little and he commented on how cute they were!!!) Rage Against The Machine, Faith No More, Korn, Deftones, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden. But now you're more likely to find Radio 3 and a bit of Choral Evensong on in my car 😂And the most recent concert I went to was Barbara Dickson 😅
But once a metalhead, always a metalhead 🤘
