I was wondering if we have older metalheads here?

I’ve been educating myself on the history of metal, and that made me wonder if anyone here is much older than I am (early thirties here) and has seen some of that history.

How did you get into metal? How old were you?

Any interesting experience you’d like to share? Things that have changed?

How were metal and metalheads perceived where you lived?

    I’m 46, was introduced to Black Sabbath literally on the first day of highschool. Immediately I fell into Slayer and Ministry and Anthrax. Soon I found Sepultura, Cannibal Corpse, Carcass. And there was GWAR! I’ve seen all of those live except for Sabbath, but I have also seen Helmet, Fight, Iron Maiden, and more. I grew up in a good area for live shows.
