RE: Our beginning with metal music
It was 2005, I was 12 Years Old and most of the music I really listened to was Jazz, Classical, Classic Rock and Mexican Ranchera, since my parents mostly only played those on the house stereo, four genres I actually still listen to and enjoy, but that are not my favorite, but that was it, I never got into Pop music of the era and we didn't have pay TV so I couldn't casually get into MTV to see what new music I could listen to, and I thought there was never going to be any other Genre that would make me feel any different than what i already listened to or make me want to look for new music.... boy was I wrong.
One day I was coming home from school, it was a wednesday, I live in Mexico City and that day near my house a Tianguis is always up (It's an open-air market that is only up certain days on the street), I usually had some extra money that day since my mother often asked me to buy some fruit, vegetables or meat for dinner, and on my way looking for groceries I passed by a cassette selling stand, and saw a curious looking cassette with a pretty cool cover. I used to play a lot of computer games, some of which I enjoyed most were old RPGs, and that cover looked just like out of one!, out of curiosity I bought it, thinking... well the cover is cool, and so I came back home, after dinner I took my tape player and put the cassette on, at first it was weird, I heard.... wind?, it was like someone had recorded wind on this cassette, strange..., I thought, but kept on listening, then notes out of a synthetizer... is this some of that new wave stuff? I thought, and then it came, the sound of guitar, bass, drums and a voice, a voice that would forever be ingrained on my ears, I had heard Classic Rock before, I liked it a lot, but this was different, powerful, it packed a punch, i knew i had found a new thing to listen to, this cassette contained Dio's Holy Diver Album.
I listened to it till the end, then found out there was a previous song to that which I listened to first by rewinding, relistened to it all, I was dumbfounded, this, what is this?, Heavy Metal that was, and that day I found my favorite genre of all, since then I discovered and wandered through all of it's branches, and found new sounds to enjoy, It all started with Dio's Holy Diver.
