Song that got you hooked to metal

Piggybacking off that other thread, what song got you hooked onto metal?
I'd say Def Leppard and Aerosmith got me into hard rock.
Metallica - Fuel is what got me into metal. I was 13 in 2004. Parents were very strict on what I was allowed to listen to. I can't remember where I heard this song, but this song, along with the ATV Offroad Fury 2 soundtrack got me into metal. I heard Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Sevendust, Anthrax all for the first time on that game.

No song in particular, but an entire album. When I was in fourth grade we moved to a new neighborhood. An 8th grader down the street from me took me in under his wing as his little buddy, and he was a metal head. He got me into the genre, and Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast was what sucked me in.

Pyromania and Back in Black (albums) were my first real exposures to hard rock.

Can’t remember the particular song (it’s been so long) but this blew me away in the late 70’s, every single song on this album.

Tame by today's standards obviously, but the Black Sabbath Paranoid album was life changing for me. After War Pigs and Paranoid in particular, there was no turning back. 
The next major influence that really pushed me into the harder styles of metal was When The Kite String Pops by Acid Bath. Again, an entire album of badassery.

Paranoid and every other song on that album

I've always liked hard rock, but in the past few years I've gotten into actual metal, or alot closer to it at least. For me it was Gojira's Magma album. That album got me into their older stuff, which was harder and has gotten me into some Pantera, Opeth, Jinjer, etc.

My earliest music memories involve seeing Van Halen's Jump and Panama videos on MTV when I was about 5 or 6 years old and I've always listened to hard rock since then. I grew up during the hair metal era and was into some of that stuff but the grittiness of Guns N Roses - Apetite for Destruction, Motley Crue - Dr Feelgood, and Skid Row - Slave to the Grind really caught my attention and turned me on to heavier music. Once I saw the video for Metallica's One I was fully into metal. Started watching Headbanger's Ball and more than 30 years later my tastes have only gotten heavier.

We got MTV in 1986 & I saw the video for RATT -Dance & went out & bought Dancing Undercover & got into the whole Glam metal scene. Then I heard Metallica-Eye of the Beholder on & KLPI(Lousiana Tech radio station) & from that moment on I have been a Thrash Metal fanatic.

Metallica "The Four Horsemen" is all it took for me

"Looks That Kill" for hard rock
Then "Two Minutes to Midnight for the heavier stuff
Then "Bonded by Blood" for the even heavier stuff

My song isn't metal but it led to it. Little bit of a story here. I was in 9th grade in 1998 and was finally starting to get into rock. In middle school it was top 40 because that's what the girls liked and that's what they played at all the middle school dances. We were all all in class one day talking about our favorite songs and bands, I only knew a handful and had just discovered Smells Like Teen Spirit so I said that and Nirvana. One of my friends said The Unforgiven by Metallica and I thought that was the coolest sounding shite I'd ever heard in my life. Just the song name and the name "Metallica" sounded like some kind entity instead of a band. I couldn't afford to just run out and buy CDs so I started listening to the local rock station every free minute to hear this song. I still remember sitting in the parking lot of the Winn Dixie while my dad was inside and the DJ announced that Metallica was coming up. It wasn't The Unforgiven, it was Turn the Page and from that opening Em chord I just thought oh frick. Hetfield's voice came in and I remember thinking yeah Cobain is cool but this is a grown arse man right here. The main verse came crashing in and from there Metallica became a lifelong hobby and not just a favorite band. I worked my way backwards until I discovered the first 4 which led to the Big 4 and every other kind of metal on the planet
