Bands that didn't click right away

[John Kimble]

Danzig. Bought Danzig 4 when I was fourteen, complete impulse buy at the time and probably because I saw a picture of them in Metal Hammer or something, and thought they looked class. In fairness, they took a good promo pic and had cool names. First track in and I was genuinely appalled, it wasn't at all what I expected, not particularly heavy and yer man sounded like a drunk Elvis. Didn't bother with them again until maybe 10 years later and decided to revisit. It clicked then thankfully.

[Maggot Colony]

It took me a long time to get into death metal vocals. I loved bands like Death, Atheist and Autopsy, who had more rasping/screaming style vocals, but couldn't get into bands with guttural vocalists. Listening to Incantation's Onward to Golgotha was where it finally clicked for me.

[Paul keohane]

Fucken hell surprised to see some big hitters on here slow to the Dissection table!.

[Carnage]

I can take or leave them TBH. Prefer The Somberlain to Storm... but yeah, it took a while to come around to them at all.

I agree. For rme they are one of the best to ever do it. I remember when I first heard them, it was like a BM/DM Van Halen to my ears.
Riffs for days and killer melodies.

[CorkonianHunger]

Head of the Demon. Was probably listening to more intense, fast stuff when I first tried. Spinning the last album a lot the last few weeks!

[The Heretic]

Black Sabbath...Paranoid put me right off them initially..

[Necro Red]

Thin Lizzy and Motorhead. Obviously I was well aware of their material over the years. I basically skipped the "Rock" band phase getting into music and delved head first into all the Death Metal bands, Carcass, Corpse, Deicide etc so it is only in the last few years I'm going back as it were and listening to Lizzy and Motorhead. Have a good few albums on vinyl now that get played regularly.

[astfgyl]

Dillinger Escape Plan is another one. Liked Miss Machine but thought the rest was shite. Love em now once it clicked.

[Cosmic_Equilibrium]

Never truly got Motorhead until I saw them live, was a convert after that.

Smashing Pumpkins, took me a whle to get past the vocals.

Zeppelin didn't truly click with me until I gave IV a listen from beginning to end.

[Cosmic_Equilibrium]

Kyuss was another. Took absolutely ages to get into them, odd really as I like anything that sounds like Sabbath, but I was more into the Cathedral/Electric Wizard side of things at the time.

[Paul keohane]

Alice in Chains probably the most glaring one for me.Basically dismissed them throughout all my teen years and early 20s.Got my hands on Dirt in the mid 2000s never looked back.

[Trev]

Type O Negative, heard a few of their faster songs and naively assumed the rest of the stuff was in the same vein so picked up a few albums. Played them once, had no idea what I was listening to, back on the shelf. A year or two later I threw them on again and it all clicked

[DeadGoon]

I remember thinking Swans were boring dirge until seeing them at Hellfest, where I went fucking mental.

[Eoin McLove]

I remember thinking Swans were boring dirge until seeing them at Hellfest, where I went fucking mental.

I saw them at Chaos Descends and found them boring and pretentious. I wanted to punch Gira in the face.
