the first song I learnd to play on bass was Iron Maidens Fortunes Of war Of of the X-Factor Its an awsome song to play The galloping is fun as hell!!!!!!
Hehe, I learned to play Smoke on the water on contrabass with my teacher on the last class!
(hehehe, it rules to have a metalhead teacher in classical music school!)
Anyways - the first song I learned to sing flawlessly was Nightwish - Bare Grace Misery, and to play on bass was Venom - Countess Bathory.
Enter Sandman. At my first (acoustic) guitar lesson, I got through the "let's play quarter notes and whole notes" part of it in fifteen minutes (because I had already learned to play cello) and then demanded to learn Enter Sandman.
Ah, back when playing an E power chord on an acoustic guitar sounded really good...
First song was "Is Anybody Out There" by Pink Floyd
First Metal song was the all time classic "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath, I use to jam on it for hours
