I don't know what to start with? Maybe with the fact that I regret not living in the 80' and 90' of the previous century (actually I did but was to young to appreciate it). My story with music started when my uncle was about 18 more or less. He was into the hard stuff very much, had posters with skulls, devils, lether outfits, long hair etc. generally all the attributes of heavy metal. At first I liked only the image of the music I mean the attributes that came with it but when I got older I started to appreciate the thing that was most important-music! (heavy metal, trash metal, all kinds of rock including gothic, but also some ambitious pop). Oh and of course Polish rock.
I started with Metallica's 'Black album' cause it was generally very light in terms of listening. Then came the meat 'Ride the Lightening' and 'Master of Puppets'. Their are still #1 on my priority list. Then came the rest of Metallica's flawless discography (apart from 'St.Anger'). The dream's come true when I had the pleasure to attend Metallica's concert in Chorzów (Stadion Śląski) in May 2004. What can I say? Few events in my life were so out of this world! Metallica WAS, IS AND WILL BE MY LOVE!!!
Bands that also make me shiver are: 'Slayer', 'Kreator', 'Turbo', 'Slipknot', 'Judas Priest','Iron Maiden', 'Black Sabbath', 'Godsmack', 'Budka Suflera', 'Perfect', 'Lacrimosa', Ok enough we could go on like this for hours...
Maybe some samples of my favourite songs:
Metallica ' Nothing else matters' (Chorzów, Stadion Śląski, Poland 31May 2004- Been there!!!!)
Kirk (leading guitar) is first doodling with his guitar. The song starts at 2:08. Incredible experience! Enjoy and maybe you'll be able to see me somewhere in the crowd;-)
Here's the studio version
Metallica 'Nothing else matters'
Metallica 'Ride the Lightning'
Metallica 'One'
Slayer 'Catatonic' (a tribute to our mood durin' writing classes;-))
Black Sabbath 'Sabbath bloody Sabbath'
Ok, for all ye who are still alive I have something lighter, really down the scale;-)
Elton John 'Live like horses'
I prefer the studio version to the concert but still...
To conclude, didn't want to copy 'n' paste the links to gothic and polish rock due to the lack of space. Generally I appreciate each 'n' every piece of good music (apart from hip-hop-no offense).
