i started out in sixth grade or so with Metallica and Megadeth. that lead to Korn, White Zombie and Pantera. in the ninth grade my friend gave me burnt copies of the Dead Kennedys' Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables and Black Flag's Damaged. those two records opened up the world of punk for me. from there, i got into SY and some other post-punk stuff. it's kinda snowballed from there.

now i really like cpature and release, though. i haven't put it in a while but i remember the last time i heard, i was very into it for the whole lenght of the album.

things like that always happen to me; i remember when i first started lurking the sy board and i saw many people mentioning erase errata, so i downloaded other animals and i couldn't get into it, it was all meh, all with nothing excited, i even posted on a errata thread (after i started posting) to why i didn't hear what they all heard and everybody replied saying "you have to see them live, blah blah". but then, couple of months later,i gave the album another spin and BAM!!! totally got it, the rage and fun and excitement were all there, and now i love erase errata.

youthoftomorrow's post made me realize something (because he mentiones metallica, megadeth, korn, pantera and white zombie), i hardly outgrow music; i usually keep listening to new stuff but also keep listening to the stuff i was listening to before, except if they are so burnt out by people around me that i don't feel like listening to it anymore or if they are all in mtv and radio and their current material sucks yet they keep getting more popular (case in point: korn). not many people are like me and seems weird to me, but oh well, i guess everyone's different

dude, i'm the exact same way (even with the Korn thing).

right on..

i guess that's what makes music so personal and valuable..
i just crank up an old tune, and i'm 16 again...

I don't find Korn's old stuff that bad myself even. Like, there's much better stuff out there, but it's not terrible like most of the mainstream.

my first band was Iron Maiden, i was in elementary school and my older uncle always listened to them. i used to listen to Number of the Beast on my Fischer Price cassette player. things just escalated from there.
