Hmmm, I'm thinking my first metal cassette was Operation: Mindcrime by Queensryche, although I didn't buy it.....I'd won some sort of contest at 96rock with the prize being a cassette of your choice at a store they were promoting. A friend from Washington state had been praising QR in his letters, so I grabbed the cassette and never looked back.

The first one I bought was probably G'n'R's Appetite For Destruction, and I can still remember the night when 96rock played "Paradise City" on 'Smash or Trash' and thinking "woah, that's pretty heavy for them" because back then they weren't playing anything even remotely heavy. (Seems like they've come full-circle, now....)

First death-metal CD..... Maybe Opeth's Orchid.

I remember that all the tapes were held behind glass - like the cds at Criminal now - and you had to ask the staff to take them out for you. My god. That of course was before the advent of annoying plastic theft-deterrents.

Anf of course, who can forget the original rectangular boxes that cds came in? I used to cut out the band logos and tape 'em inside my locker. I was especially fond of the Frehley's Comet one. Haha, good times.

Yep, the short-lived CD 'long-boxes.' When they first started making those, a very few bands and artists made use of the long-and-narrow image size to create album art specifically for the long-box. I can only remember one right now, Skid Row's Slave to the Grind CD.

I got into CDs pretty early. The first CD I ever bought was the soundtrack for Raiders of the Lost Ark...not that I wasn't also into other music at the time, but there were only a few hundred CDs (of any genre) available. I still have the CD, and it still plays.

If i recall correctly, Sebastian Bach's dad painted that, didn't he?

Silly metal trivia.

Yep, that sounds right. I made a point of keeping that particular long-box somewhere, but I have no clue where it's squirreled away nowadays, else I'd check on it.

Sepultura - Arise ...although it was a gold edition with some bonus tracks and the CD itself was gold.

I remember one of my first jobs after high school was working at Sam Goody's at Cumberland Mall and we had to remove thousands of CD's from long boxes after hours because we heard that 1. they were being discontinued, and 2. it would be easier to sensor tag them to cut down on theft.
We actually had 9 instances of theft in one week, a few metal, butalmost everytime we got hit, it was rap music.
