I guess it's because of your avatar, or that "sulls" sounds so British to me, but I always thought you were in Great Britain.

Year First Became Fan: 1988
How? Heard Glam Slam, which was completly different compared to other music I had heard at the time. Bought some things from then on and became a mediocre fan. In ‘91/‘92 I went to a concert because of a schol budy, who introduced me to more albums, and then I went absolutely hardcore!
