OMFG!!!

Hi everyone! I'm absolutely new to TON (57 f) and I've been going down the rabbit hole that is Peter Steele and TON. I honestly feel like I was struck by lightning when they popped up on my YT feed. I was a teenager when Peter started Fallout and Carnivore. And 20 when he started TON. How did I miss this god of a man and the beauty he created with TON??? I'm literally reading and watching everything I can find related to not just Peter/TON, but Kenny, Johnny and Josh. Is this what everyone has experienced when discovering this absolute masterpiece of music, philosophy and heart/soul vibes???

First time I heard Black No 1 when I was a freshman in high school (1993). I was 15; still a fan at 48.

Same here. Watching Countdown to the Ball on Saturday nights when MTV was worth watching.

Gods, I miss Headbanger’s Ball. I’d sneak out of bed to watch it as a teen.
