Everyone definitely has a mega-influential author or album that made you who you are today or helped you get through difficult times. And, as for me, this is the most valuable thing that metal and music in general can give - philosophy
Personally, music has changed almost everything in my life. And I thank Megadeth for that. I was impressed not only by the sound of this band, but also by its history. It really made me think that nothing is impossible and you can get out of any shit. My life has become much more interesting and rich, because music is the thing that interests me most. I love listening to it, playing it, understanding it.
