I was wondering if we have older metalheads here?
I’ve been educating myself on the history of metal, and that made me wonder if anyone here is much older than I am (early thirties here) and has seen some of that history.
How did you get into metal? How old were you?
Any interesting experience you’d like to share? Things that have changed?
How were metal and metalheads perceived where you lived?
Forties.
Got into metal around 20 years ago. Always was a hip-hop head, but a night out to a rock club in Manchester had me loving metal. Might have been the ecstasy, but I kept coming back to the music.
I still love hip-hop but regularly go back to some SOAD. I also like classical now too to round it all off.
