Let me think. Probably a Slovene singer; Tinkara Kovač (she was performing with that man from Jethro Tull as well I think) and later Metallica and Apocalyptica. These 3 artists influenced me somehow - i started developping my musical taste - i had none before.

Well mind it doesn't make your brain fall out!!:P

There is treatment available, you know!:P

 

Really? Do i need to pay or can I get it on the NHS?

In my case, it wasn't bands, it was hobbits- Dom Monaghan and Elijah Wood have to be two of the biggest music geeks on the planet (and both have reputations as amazing djs too). Reading interviews with them while they were filming LotR back in 99 and 2000 was the first time I was ever really exposed to the idea that there was more music out there than just what was played on the radio. I don't know if anyone else has ever heard Elijah babble on about what he's listeing to but it's scary. Twice as scary if you don't know anything about music.

 

Oh, and what band did they mention the most back then- to the point that I really needed to know what it sounded like? Coldplay. The rest is history.

 

For me I started off listening to some Christian bands, primarily DC Talk and the Newsboys.

 

:laugh3: The first concert I ever saw was the Newsboys. I still wasn't allowed to listen to any kind of rock or pop back then, but when my class found out about that big concert in Woodstock New Brunswick, it became the official grade 12 class trip, and not being one to miss a road trip I talked my parents into letting me go.

 

Not being a person who listened to rock at all, it was a traumatic experience to say the least. I didn't know it was even possible for anything to be that loud, I didn't know any of the songs, and I probably wouldn't have been able to tell what they were if I had known the speakers were so overloaded. I just plain wasn't sure what was happening or why or anything, and no one wanted to be near that looser stick in the mud, so it was a pretty lonely experience.

 

Funny that I'm such a concert junkie now all these years later after a disaster like that. :thinking:

Well I think you can get it on the NME or FHM, if that helps......................... :rolleyes:

Hmm the doors! yes! :D

Woah Nat, you went to a Radiohead concert when you were 8? Did you listen to them alot when you were that young?

Well mind it doesn't make your brain fall out!!:P

ah no, they'll stay right where they are now. ;)

 

Oh and Siddharta! how could I forget them? :thinking:

for me it wwasn't artists as much as specific songs. i used to like pop and rap and other bad stuff, and then i heard a few songs, and i started to appreciate rock more. songs like drive by incubus and one thing by finger eleven were early songs i liked. then came clocks by coldplay and meet virginia by train... now i'm all rock all the time

And if it wasn't for them you'd never have become an Interpol stalker!!:P

 

righty-o!! :wideeyed: :P
