i think it makes more sense to start at the beginning in a general sense though. For example Death is not really as heavy as Revocation. So it would make more sense for me if somebody got into Death first and then Revocation. Venom, is a lot easier to get into than Mayhem because Venom is nowhere near as heavy! i dig what you said about metalcore and nu metal though and i do think some people do get into metal thataway.
Like I said, some exceptions. Like, I got into metal through Iron Maiden, but it wasn't until I discovered Killswitch Engage *shudder* that I actually became accustomed to screamed vocals.

Also, your dad is awesome
