I remember as a kid I heard my folks, especially my dad, playing Black Sabbath tunes. Iron Man and all those classics. When Grand Theft Auto: Vice City came out around 2002 I became a official metalhead. I always liked the 80's heavy metal my folks played in the 90's as I grew up, but playing that game I listened a lot to that V-Rock radio station. I loved that wanna-be DJ Lazlow and still do today when I hear him in GTA games. But becoming a metalhead was a new way of getting away from things. I had a quite rough childhood, at least by Swedish standards, but the metal was and still is my therapy. But to the thing - I heard Ozzy's "Bark At The Moon" in the game, got hooked and looked up more. I then heard this song "Hellraiser" (co-written with the almighty Lemmy) and it was like my mind melted. I played that fucking song like twenty times in a row each time, I couldn't stop listening to it! That big arena chorus, heavy riff, groovy bass and dark athmosphere ... I love it!!
This was the one song that I consider making me a metalhead. It showed me all the great things about metal and why it's the best music in the world. Ozzy overall was also the first metal star I came to love, although I said Iron Maiden during the time 'cause they had a cool logo and mascot. But Ozzy was fucking better. Anyway, I thought I'd share this, to me at least, classic heavy metal masterpiece. Here you go:
Oh and btw, I LOVE Zakk Wylde. He's great. Fuck all of you who don't like him for the group pressure on the internet.
