When did you know that music was going to be the rest of your life.

[Yngwie 4String]

I shouldve made a ? at the end of the topic.


I was in 7th grade, in art class. My parents didnt listen to metal, and up to that point Kiss was the heaviest band Id ever heard. My art teacher was a big time music head and played music while we worked on projects. I heard the Opening riff to Black Sabbath's IRONMAN. That moment changed my life. Ive been a metalhead since that day on.

I didn't start learning to play music until age 18 (around 1988), so I started late. I played in numerous bands in my 20's but always considered music as "extracurricular" even though I consistently played bass at least 12 hours per week, and often more, because I liked it so much. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to play a few unexpected gigs with some very talented (full time) musicians on several ocassions around 1998-2000 and it finally dawned on me that it was possible for me to make a living at this if I just practiced enough and had the passion and ambition.

Of all the things in life that I enjoy doing now, playing music is number one.

Hell... I have no idea.

I started listening to/playing music at a young age and never stopped.

When I was in 6th grade I was at my friend atticus's house listening to records and he played Aces high and I like DUDE then I went to the mall and got this:

[jonathan_matos5]

when i found out that being in a band will help you get chicks

i went about it all wrong and started playing trombone in the high school concert band





ok seriously when i realized that its the only thing that i dont shortly get bored of. somewhere around my junior year in high school and again my first time through college.

I knew that music was going to be my life about 9 yrs ago, when I had a psychic reading.

She said that I would spend my life poor and eventually end up smelly and homeless.

amen

I still try to write, and I do alot of it, but its simpler and truer coming from an instrument (bass, guitar, piano)

Honestly, The Day my Uncle showed me " My name is mud" or the First time I heard "Domination" by Pantera

Answer to question: First time I ever heard Pantera.
