/Puts on Death Certificate, by Carcass, cranks it right up
I used to be an out and out metalhead, but that all changed when I got a job in a record shop when I was a teenager. I had been a good customer of the shop, and the boss knew me well, so he explained on the first day that I couldn't put Sepultura on the music system cos it would frighten customers away.
So, I started to find other things to put on, things that I had wondered about in the past, or perhaps heard some of, and wanted to hear more. IIRC, the first bands I got into were Joy Division, Pink Floyd, The Beatles and The Small Faces....
This also coincided with me getting into smoking dope (hell, all of my mates did it back in 1995) - and I tell you, you don't always listen to death metal when you're caned!
I still like metal, but listen to it rarely, and when I do, its the real classics.
I used to listen to stuff like Napalm Death, Carcass, Obituary, At The Gates, Slayer, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Machine Head, Entombed, even Deicide....
/Puts on Sepultura's 'Arise' LP :-D
