Now KoRn were my new band of choice I started to find the roots of metal. I did not slip straight into the stream of metal, I listened to KoRn with my current choice of music for a while, I cannot remember the next KoRn album I purchased, I think it was either their Greatest Hits or Issues. They became quite popular on Kerrang at this point and me and my brother grew accustomed to a few of their songs. Now around this time I had learnt the art of downloading music from odd and random websites, so I was picking up single songs from everywhere and then one day whilst looking on the front page of my favourite site to get music I noticed a song. "Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth" intriguing I thought, through my youth I had heard serveral bands labelled as "Heavy" and had heard of NIN before and I thought "Wow they are well heavy let's see if I like it or not." Well, yes, I did like it. So much so the next time I went into town I stepped into my local HMV and saw that NIN's latest album "With Teeth" was being promoted in the first rack of albums when you entered the store, I immediatly grabbed a copy and brought it.
Over the next week I listened to this album non-stop and devloped a distinct liking to the track: "The Hand That Feeds." This song was listened to about 250 times at the end of my first iTunes library. With this I brought more and more KoRn albums and borrowed a few more metal albums off my friends and it wasn't before too long I was into the lighter side of metal, thinking Slipknot was the heaviest band out there. Oh boy was I wrong....
Part 3 soon
