Bands u like that you found out about from internet friends

Saxon - Can't recall ever hearing them or even knowing anybody who liked them as a teen. I was told to buy Lionheart, and now they are one of my fave bands.

Deliverance- I can't say I was ever into Chrstian metal like some here, but how the first 2 albums escpaed me is beyond me. The first 2 cds are classic, imo.

Vain - I think the album cover for No Respect turned me off to this band. I don't need a dude in leather panrs crawling at me on an album cover. But when I bought it on ebay to sell after hearing so much about it on Metal Sludge, I gave it a listen. Now I have all their albums, and like most of their stuff.

Your turn.

Off the top of my head...

Firewind
Airbourne
Mortal Sin
E-Z-O
Zion's Abyss
Helstar

Rene (krokus) on the board turned me onto them. Cheesy 80's metal. I absolutely love them.

Manitou
Again, Rene (krokus) on the board turned me onto them. Awesome modern metal with an 80's feel. I absolutely love them as well.

Some of my favorites that I first heard of online:

Rob Rock/Implliterri - I had heard of MARS - Project Driver back
in the day, but never actually got it. How I missed Impelliterri is
beyond me as well, but I first heard of Rob Rock back when Rage of
Creation was coming out. Now he ranks among my favorite vocalists ever.

Winter's Bane - Met Lou St. Paul online when I heard about his planned
instrumental album and hit him up for an interview. Stellar band that I
had never heard before, despite the Priest connection.

Probably a lot more, but I'm too lazy to think of any others.

Had heard of Rage but never checked them out. Awesome stuff.

Probably 95% of my purchases I've made since I started posting here have been because of you wankers. Thanks "internet friends".

Metalguy - That describes me!!

I started listening to Tri-Rock in 05. I'd always been a Christian Metal guy (not Metalguy) with a sprinkling of Maiden, Dio, Metallica and a few other secular Metal Bands here and there.

Well, on Tri-Rock I heard Rob Rock, Masterplan and Astral Doors and was blown away. Simply stunned. I did some research on buying and trading and that led me to the CMR. I lurked there for a little and it dawned on me due to all the conversations going on that I was WAY out of the loop. I'd listened to the same basic bands for 15-16 years. Bride, Morty, Deliverance, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Soundgarden, Punk in general, etc.....but I had no idea what was "out there". When Metal was driven underground I sort of just stayed in a time warp.

So, in the Autumn of 05 I purchased Masterplan - Aeronautics. I also got Becoming The Archetype's Terminate Damnation and realized there was still great brutal Christian metal to be had. From there I was off on a Metal "bender" and over th next 2 1/2 years bought 100's of CDs and tried to catch up on what I'd been missing all these years.

So, 75%+ of my current collection is thanks to my Brothers at the CMR and both incarnations of The Heart Of Metal (with a big nod to Ult's site which I actually had referenced years before I found the CMR....I guess I never clicked on the links??) To this day if I'm wavering or checking out a band I'd not heard of I go straight to Nolifetilmetal and now these days also MetalMetropolis to make sure of what I'm checking out.

So, you jerks have cost my $1000's!!!!! angry

BRAND NEW SIN. Rexorcist was the one who suggested I check them out saying, "they sound like Black Label Society should sound." Indeed! Great band. (But I still like BLS too.)

i didn't consider anyone here at this forum because the thread said internet friends, rather than internet boobs. eyesore recommended Cadaveria to me. so i guess that counts.

I have no idea how many bands I got started on because of message boards like this onebut it's a lot. And I like to think that I've contributed to others discovering bands on the same boards.

And I got them from you along with Fireball Minisrty. Then I got Priestess and The Sword from Eyesore. Other stuff like Serenity and Mechanical Poet and Dawn of Solace from him too. Lots of power metal from Wargod. I really don't buy anything post 2000 unless I consult here first. Almost everybody that's been here awhile has put me on to something.
