Top Comments of this video!! :3
Fantastic video Lindsey. I got into metal way back in 1986. My first metal style I got into was Glam Metal. Bands like Stryper, Poison, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi etc. Then when I got into High School my friends introduced me to Metallica, Pantera, Megadeth etc. Now that I'm 52 years old the internet got me into Ghost, Mayhem Cannibal Corpse, Slipknot, Arch Enemy, Baby Metal and so on. your videos always make me smile. 🤘

Congrats on 100 videos. I first got into Fear Factory by buying the Demanufacture T-shirt from a magazine with not even listening to them before, I just loved the band name. I went out and got the album, luckily, I loved it or else I would've been wearing a shirt from a band that I didn't like, LOL.

Congrats, Lindsay! I'm looking forward to the next hundred.
Re: getting into metal, I remember listening to blue-rock and bits of heavy rock (Led Zep etc) when i was in single digits, but I think my first real interest in metal came with either Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden (depending on whether you cound Sabbath as metal) in my early teens, then heard Ride the Lightning in about 1985 and was blown away. "Piece of Mind" is a great album; for some it slightly falls between Number and Powerslave, but it's a key part of the evolution of the band (first one to make extensive use of literary references, first album with Nicko on drums) and it has stood the test of time really well.
Re: Death, "SoP" is a good album with solid writing and some great guitar work and drumming, but I've always found it a difficult listen. I remember hearing the album for the first time late in 1999, and wondering what was wrong with Chuck because the vocals sounded "off" to me. A couple of years later, Chuck was gone, and I can't listen to it now without returning to that initial reaction and what followed for him. In different ways, i like everything from "Leprosy" (my proper starting point, although I had heard "Beyond the Unholy Grave" from SBG before Leprosy was released) to "Symbolic", but the high points for me now are probably "Human" and "Symbolic".
Maybe it's just me but I sometimes associate particular albums with specific times and places in my life. Since you mentioned "Demanufacture", I remember hearing tracks from that album (mostly the title track and Self Bias Resistor) during the final months of a year of living and working in Finland (a good learning experience but some aspects of it were pretty tough), and knew I would need to buy the album when I returned to the UK (I'm sure there were good music stores in Finland but I didn't know one at the time). As a slighty random example, I always associate a fairly obscure album, "Manic Impressions" by Anacrusis, with the Isle of Skye (first time I went on holiday with my own car, and I played that album incessantly during the trip) . . .

Interesting video as usual, Lindsay! I also have Metallica's Ride the Lightning as one of my top 10 albums ever, and also have a Death one, though I like Symbolic more than The Sound of Perseverance (great album too, very close race!)
My top 10 (ordered by date), started with power/heavy, now listening more melodeath/atmospheric black honestly, but my 20 something years with metal have been such a ride!
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Judas Priest – Painkiller
Slayer – Seasons in the Abyss
Death - Symbolic
Stratovarius - Visions
Omnium Gatherum - New World Shadows
Threshold - March Of Progress
Ne Obliviscaris - Portal of I
Sigh - In Somniphobia
Wilderun - Sleep At The Edge Of The Earth
Keep it up, cheers!

Great episode. Can't wait for the next question session
I agree with you on so many things . Cant get into the cores much either. I do like Killswitch though. Deathcore ..love the blackened vocals and Symphonic elements but overall not my thing except Lorna and Shadow of Intent. Funnily though, not a fan of Symphonic metal or fantasy power metal.
Rituals was my intro to Rotting Christ. I listened to it in the dark and it blew me away. What an experience.
I bought Demanufacture, knowing nothing of the band. Thought it was gonna be a thrash album. Its killer though. Self Bias resistor is still one of my faves. And the Blackbraid records are great. Took me a few listens but the atmosphere is excellent. Really dig them.. Think im gonna have to give Green Lung another listen.

I'll try not to bore you with too many details but I thought I'd share my journey into metal. I suppose I should start by saying that I'm presently 70 years old. I've loved music almost my entire life, right from when I saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. I started buying albums in the late 60's, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, etc. For the next 30 years I continued buying music but mostly what became classic rock. I dabbled in punk, listened to a lot of hair metal in the 80's and got into grunge in the 90's but it always felt as though something was missing. I wanted heavier, faster & louder. Yes, I had bought Metallica, Megadeth, Motorhead, etc but that didn't completely scratch the itch. Around about 2000 I met 3 different guys through my job and we'd spend a lot of our down time talking music and all 3 told me I really needed check out more extreme music. I did but I just couldn't get it. It was chaotic & noisy but I didn't give up and kept returning to it. One night I was listening to Slayer and it suddenly clicked and I realized just how much stunning beauty is contained in those songs. From that point on I started listening to everything I could get my hands on. This is not an exaggeration but I've been literally moved to tears by the beauty of the music. I spend upwards of 6 hours a day with the headphones on listening to metal. I love listening to music, talking about music and reading about music. You could post a 12 hour video about music and I'd be there for every second of it. I don't go to shows, mainly because I'm autistic and cannot handle crowds in any way, shape or form.
