Re: Artists or bands you listened to before they became big?
Too many to list. I have always leaned towards alternative music - non radio stuff. I loved New Wave in the 80s and that got me into more alternative alternative music in the 80s along with punk. I listened to "Goth" before it was labeled. I moved into metal from some of my hard rock upbringing (Kiss - Love Gun was my first album when I was 5 - my second was Shaun Cassidy. Not trying to be too big of a hipster) and growing up in southern California in the early-mid 80s found Metallica, Slayer and the other thrash bands of the time. I still listen to a bunch of lesser known stuff, some will blow up others will just fade away. My nephews always call me a hipster because of the stuff I listen to because they are not that into music and not familiar with anything that is not major artist.
