My first album was Powerage. I was visiting my granny back in Chicago, and she gave me some $$ to run down to the Ben Franklin store with.
I'd usually go down and get a model - a P-38 Lightning or Tiger tank - and build it over the next couple days while sniffing the glue. This time I saw Powerage on my way past the record albums, so I bought that instead. I'd heard Sin City on the radio in my brother's room, but when I asked who it was, he told me to shut up and get out of his room. When I saw it on Powerage, I knew I wasn't building any model this time - it was rock and roll from now on.
I brought it back to my granny's house, and my mom took a look at the cover and said there was no way we were putting it on the hi-fi.
Later that day, my mom left to go visit her college room mate - and my granny said "Do you want to listen to your new record album?" So we put on Powerage and rocked that shit. I noticed her foot tapping and a little headbanging going on when Sin City played. She was drinking Old Milwaukee and I was drinking little Oly's she had picked up for us so my brother and I could have a brewski with her. It was pretty cool being 11, drinking beer with your granny, and playing AC/DC. My granny knew how to party.
Good times.
That's how it all started for me. I know - cool story, bro.

I remember the catalyst to my buying Powerage was that "Gone Shootin' " was featured prominently in Beavis and Butthead.
