How did you discover metal? Through my brother, he had a couple of Maiden and Priest albums and I was sold from the first minute that I listened to Phantom of the Opera

How you discovered Metal: Graduated from hard rock and evolved into Metal mostly through an early Ozzy obsession 8 or 9 years ago and then learning about Dio through their mutual relationship with Black Sabbath and it expanded from there. That's the short of it.
How you discovered Metal Reviews: I was here when the forms had the whole "Tree" thread design, and I believe at the time I was looking for reviews for Ozzy and other 80's metal bands on Metal-Reviews.com. One day I forgot the " - " and discovered this site.
Gen. info: Getting married on December 30 in Jamaica to a beautiful sweet Jamaican woman who I truly love. Wish I had more to tell, but the planning has been taking up a lot of my time. PM me if you would like to know more.
