There's a long story but I won't tell it (Unless you beg me! HAHA!)

Mott The Hoople - All the Way to Memphis

I was 7 or 8!

Well back in the day or the early 70's is considered hard rock and for me it was Rush, BOC, Trapeze, Budgie, White Witch, Starz, Scorpions, Montrose, Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath, Steppenwolf oh yeah the pusher man!

He mentioned White Witch again! Second time this week. And from the context he obviously does mean the Capricorn records version!

Well my parents listened to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Yes, David Bowie, Alice Cooper, Janis Joplin, Rolling Stones, Beatles. So if that isn't the best introduction to rock n' roll i don't know what is. But as with all kids I wasn't enamoured with my parents music much although Alice Cooper was a bit of favourite of mine. So I liked general rock like The Offspring, Green Day from the late 90's because I used to listen to rock radio and that was the stuff that was in highest rotation. I eventually started listening to Guns N' Roses and Metallica through the popular songs of theirs. But the band that kicked it off for me and made me dig deep was Motley Crue, I thought they were great and I started getting into the hollywood glam metal scene they came from so i got into Ratt, Dokken, Poison, Warrant etc. Then got into heavier 80's stuff like Queensryche, Metal Church, Iron Maiden etc. And ironically I came round to my parents music.

"Metal" band would have to be slayer.

I got into Rock in the late eighties with bands like Ratt, Skid Row and Winger. Then in 1990 i discovered Thrash bands like Metallica, Testament, Megadeth and ST. I've been hooked ever since!
