What band/song started it all for you

[Brokenbanjostring]

A-Ha for me, particularly the song 'The Sun Always Shines On Tv' not very metal but there are some interesting bits in that song. I still have the original cassettes in a box somewhere.....

It's a class tune that was part of my formative years in music for sure. I still listen to it often enough

Same as, still happy to stick on a bit of A-Ha as a pallet cleanser between some of the filthier stuff....

A-ha are a great pop band, nothing wrong with some pop music now and then to clear the head

I have that tune on this minute and I'd put the challenge out that at least 90 percent of lads who love metal will also love it.

I didn't know this sketch existed until I told my non metal friend that manahattan skyline was suspiciously heavy. Thats when I found out I was a cliche

My uncle got me into Iron Maiden, Van Damme, Pamela Anderson and Tekken from as early as I can remember. Makes me feel bad I'm not the cool uncle for my nephew now.

First time seeing the original of this sketch, only seen various other takes with different music dubbed over!

There has to be one with Venom considering how much Limmy looks like Cronos!😂

Edit,  it was Joan Jett - I Love Rock 'n' Roll played on a juke box while travelling with my mother to visit relatives and waiting for a connecting bus in Elphin Roscommon.  Played it over and over, pestering the mother for change,  around 1981 I suppose?
