lagerfanny Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 My first L.P. was this one about a year after it was released when I was 13, and I held off converting to C.D. as long as I could, but this was only available on that format in 1990, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PP_CS336 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I had lot's of 45's (along with my older brother's and sister's collection), but the first LP I ever got was "High Tide and Green Grass - The Rolling Stones Greatest Hits" in 1965 or '66, can't exactly remember. That's what got me starting to want to play guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S t e v e Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 the EVH solo in beat it is almost perfect not according to eddie himself, FACT: eddie refused to take any moneys/royalties for his work on the song as he thought it (his solo) wasn't very good :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 In the early 80's my neighbors had several records that we listened to all the time like Blizzard of Ozz, Back in Blackand Heaven and Hell among others, we tried not to buy the same albums in the group so we could have access to more music. My first LP bought with my own money was Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind, it was close between getting that of Number of the Beast but "The Trooper" blew my mind. Before then I had only bought Beatles 45 singles with whatever little money I could come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its great for a pop song.. shows technique (tapping, dive bombs, harmonics etc)and is still heavy enough to cut through, showy enough and i think actually shows restraint rather than overdoing it (which is surprising for him ;)) oh well shows what i know :P :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Purchased? Apache by Jørgen Ingmann, (but it wasn't a CD or LP.... was a 45). Made?

BT Bob Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 With 2 older brothers (by 5 & 7 years) I grew up listening to Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, Dylan & the Who. The first ablum I bought wih my own (pocket) money was Black Sabbath's "Master of Reality". And do began a collecting habit that ended at around the 400 mark. When I finally caved and moved on to CDs, the first one I bought was The Spin Doctors' "Pocketful of Kryptonite". I ended up with a collection of several hundred of them too. All downloads now, I'm afraid. I have an iTunes library that won't fit onto my 160Gb iPod Classic, but the collection keeps on a-growing..... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Well it's no "Baby What's New" that's for sure. HEY! Someone went to a lot of trouble to put that together! (I wish I know who that was!) Actually "All The Time" was the B-Side, (Roger, who wrote it, wasn't too big on words, eh?). The A-Side was "Baby What's New"....I didn't think the video was as interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wtzUgjrreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjmwrx Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 My first album given to me was Michael Jackson's Thriller @ 6 years old. I used to play it on my sisters record player while she was at SIU. VERY shortly there after, I found my Mom's Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin stash. Needless to say, it was over from there. I was done with Mr. Jackson (and break dancing, man what was I thinking). I still remember the first time I heard Paranoid. I was completely blown away, and all I wanted to do was play guitar from there out. I still never got my own guitar until I bought it myself at 15. My parents DID NOT support it. Father was a former Marine Drill Instructor. My dad was so pissed at my mom I found those records. "I told you to throw those away!" LOL As far as he was concerned, I had already started smoking pot and telling everyone to f$@! off! Even though that didn't happen for another 6 years or so.
