What's the first metal song you remember hearing?

[Freedomsoldier17]

! No longer available

It was on one of my old nascar video games. I dug the hell out of the intro and the chorus riff. Can't say it got me into metal really but it was definitely a rougher song for me, but in a good way. It got me super jumpy

I think mine was Europe with final countdown, I really loved it as a kid when it was on the radio. Later on it was Scorpions with wind of change. Both do not really fit in the metal genre, but honestly I really don't know my first metal song...

Sepultura - Roots

&

Metallica - The Memory Remains

[defTHE1s]

Mine was Sepultura - Ratamahatta, though what really impressed me was the video; at that time wasn't really into music.
Really the first metal song I heard I don't know what it was, one of the ones was that Sepultura's song and Rammstein - Du RIecht so Gut '98, or it could be something of Nirvana or Metallica... (not really metal but you get the point)

[deftones47]

If memory serves me right, it was "Down With the Sickness" by Disturbed. I was only 11.

[BillyNo.9]

Girls Girls Girls back in '87 :')

[RoyalDeftonicBoy]

Metallica's Trapped Under Ice on CD and on radio Pantera's Walk

[Eros TBA]

Black Sabbath

[Seven]

Maybe Limp Bizkit- My Generation

[Crazylegs]

Black Sabbath

The song? That's like the ultimate introduction.

I can't remember a specific one that is metal per definition. But if I'm allowed to stretch the definition a bit, i would say "one of these days" by pink floyd. My dad had it on a cassette tape i listened to all the time when i was a kid. It's pretty dark and heavy, no?

[Hinojos]

I'd possibly have a different answer if I sat here thinking for a bit, but the first I remember clearly is Duality - Slipknot.

I was probably 10-12 years old, back when MTV still played music videos.

At the time I haven't even heard or tried to listen to anything remotely heavy/metal-ish yet, but I actually dug that song.

[Rally Sweat]

Haha, I've got a Slipknot VHS somewhere. Rmember thinking how dangerous and exciting they seemed...First metal song was probably a Metallica or Fear Factory one though.

Yes, One of These Days  was dark and heavy back in time but it still is a very current song.
