Lots of songs involved probably. My brother coming home with copied tapes with songs by Ted Nugent (especially remember "I got the feelin"), Ramones AC/DC and Kiss in the late seventies. Then shifting up with Maiden, Priest, Scorpions, Sabbath, Tank, The Rods and Motörhead in the early eighties.
But my first true Heavy Metal revelation probably was the first time I heard The Zoo by Scorpions on the radio (I managed to record the song incompletely without knowing who the artist was). Guess this must have been in 1981 or 82.

I was like 5 years old and really liked the cover and music.

I think it was half a year after the album was released (so probably somewhere in early '92), I still have the original tape my father had bought me, completely worn out now.
Must have been "November rain" in 1998 (on TV).
search for hard 'n heavy bands back than... so than on one mixed HR/HM tape was one song which was totaly different from others and it blew me away - Master of Puppets - it changed my life and now constantly with big minus on my account because of that song and that thrash that song led me to...
...plus one day in '90, one tape had Clerical conspiracy by Sabbat on it
and that was best song i ever heard and best band i ever heard and now for 21 years still is!
11 years old I bought my first LP and this song was the "ear opener"

I have only heard 3-4 of his albums, however track 'High on emotion' is one of the most uplifting songs I've heard in my life. Goosebumps all over, pure magic. Hard to put into words how music sometimes works within you. Not quite the track that fits for me in this thread, but surely one of my all-time favorites!sagrotan wrote:Chris de Burgh:

cool memories you have there anyway! I still can appreciate some of his stuff sometimes, the whole Crusader album is awesome despite the cheesy lyrics..
btw the thread title is maybe a bit misleading since not so many of us seem to nail down one song that "changed" our lifes and you can't say you changed your life with 10 or 11 years old with a SONG since anyone changes around that age, accompanied by music or not.. but as most understood it the songs that started it all are yet interesting.

Great rock artist, indeed! C.D.Burgh is also responsible for the following anthems:ION BRITTON wrote:I have only heard 3-4 of his albums, however track 'High on emotion' is one of the most uplifting songs I've heard in my life.

I think every metalhead should listen-at least- to the songs above.

There is no such song. The first things that clicked with me were The Beatles, some 50's rock... I used to love a lot of random music from films and old computer games, then Black Sabbath was a huge thing, also lots of stuff I no longer care for. There was a lot of music around our house, but I grew up with my parents arguing daily, sitting listening to records when I was very young wasn't something I did.

NIRVANA - "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
I was into The Doors, Europe and Bon Jovi as a kid (still into the first two), and really liked the GN'R "Paradise City"-videoclip I stumbled upon when I was changing TV-channels somewhere in 1988, but "Smells..." was for me the song that kickstarted my undying passion for 'heavier' music. I still remember the moment when I first heard it. In combination with the insane videoclip it shook my world. It was like a bomb exploding in my face!
Grunge did not kill metal in my neighbourhood. A lot of my friends got into metal because of Nirvana and the grunge-hype that was happening in those days.

Ozzy Osbourne-Shot In The Dark
That song was the one that would mark me even before i was born. My brother was in middle shool back in the late 80s (when i was just about to be born) when he got into those Xmas school activities where you got to exchange presents,well he got a compilation (dont know if it was already in cd?) the whole comp was crap except for the last song,Shot in the Dark,from there i was already listening to that from year 1, it was not until i turned 12 that i really delivered myself to the music thing and i bought Ozzy´s Ozzman Cometh on tape,from there the rest is history...
