my first album was heroes by david bowie. it was a pressie from my sis and friends, which they all signed on the inside cover. what was special about the album was that david sang two or three lines in (miserable but very sexy) german. it was a gift before i had to go in hospital for a risky operation. life was not the same after having heard david and having ‘survived’ the operation.

A lot of Metallica fans here, I’m impressed:-)

My first album was Metallica’s “Black Album-1991″ I don’t really remember where I got it from exactly, but it was cassette that I still have it until now!!, and certainly still loving it.

I first listened when I was living in Kuwait.

Esra’a, for curiosity’s sake; on which hand did you wear your “white glove” for your Mickey Jackson impersonation? Do you know the hidden significance of a “white glove” in private schools? Your comment was very amusing to me. Thank you!

Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix… all were very accessible in Dubai, although all the tapes were pirated (but sold in proper music shops) and only cost 8 dhs.. the equivalent of about 75 pense!! Those were the good old days!!!

I’m deadly into music but cant remember when I was impressed by music for the first time!
cuz form time that I remember myself I was into music maybe in my cradle I impressed for the first time but I hadnt cradle )

My first hero was Michael Jackson! that was great and had influence on me when I was teenager!

Then I turen to Heavy Metal under influence of S&M (symphonie & metallica) concert VCD in 1999!

And I’m still a headbanger

Here we cant buy foreigna albums cuz its illegal in Iran ) then we have it illegally and I, myself have 1-2000 metal albums or more! can you believe this?

1) Abadi Al-Jowhar … he’s a traditional and very talented Arab performer. Though I can no longer stand the sound of his voice or his depressing music.

2) I bought it from a little music store that no longer exists, it has ironically been replaced with a McDonald’s.

The first English album I got was “Reload” by Metallica.
