a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity (e.g., iron, gold, silver, copper, and aluminum, and alloys such as brass and steel).

you test what kind of metal you have by sticking into an outlet. Any old working outlet will do. If you're shocked, you know you got some good metal there.

So many subgenres, too. You gotta figure out what you like first. Doom, thrash, death, grind, black, crossover thrash. They’re all very different. Look up the subgenres and listen to the recommendations, then you can explore further.

You have to start with the earliest metal, then move to thje 70's and 80's metal. Then it all goes gay in the 90's to now.

At this point it would take a great deal of writing. It's grown pretty large.

You must know the biggest names. Go listen to some of that. You'll easily find other, lesser known bands from there.

In the beginning there was Sabbath. Some say there was earlier metal, but there really wasn't. There was really hard rock, but it didn't really become metal until Sabbath. And then a bunch of stuff happened.

This should do it.
Looks like it's a big file and archive.org's limited speeds won't let anyone stream it. You'll have to download:

I have a wide taste in metal. I like hair metal to thrash metal. I'm not a fan of Cookie Monster Metal though.

As a kid, I started listening to Motley Crue, Ratt, Black Sabbath, Kiss, Led Zepplin, Ozzy, Tesla, the Toadies etc.

Pantera was originally an 80'd hair metal band and were pretty good. But then they became a lot harder in the 90's. Cowboys From Hell was a big turning point.

Of course Metallica, Megadeth, slayer, and Anthrax are mandatory. I would suggest anything from the 80s to early 90s with these bands.

That's a good foundation.

Sounds like a discreet way of asking to be shot. Do you have a preference for the amount and type of metal, and how rapidly you'd like the introduction to go?

Find some old Cannibal Corpse, Graveland, Venom...Burzum...

You could just watch anything that interests you from that last list and end up loving it. Man is a wizard on the Ax.

Thank me later.
