Speaking of over 60 year olds & Beatles look at this to see what's classed as the first heavy metal song - kick arse song if ever there was one!!!

I thought you knew your metal history Metla lol . Check out:

en.wikipedia.org - under 'Origins'

www.songfacts.com - under 'songfacts'

infernality.blogspot.com

www.associatedcontent.com

+ 82,000 odd other google references..........

Remember back before the '70's metal was mild.

616961 2007-12-02 01:41:00 Metal history started in 1970 when Black Sabbath released their debut album.

Before hand there was plenty of heavy rock, heavy blues, Heavy Psyciedilia (sorry about the spelling), But nothing that inhabits the space filled by Black Sabbath.

The album, The band, Invented and defined a new style of music, and all the google hits and experts that want to state otherwise can go straight to hell, There is no comparison.

Black Sabbath 1970, Performing N.I.B, One of the greatest metal songs to ever be created, www.youtube.com

Notice the difference? can you feel it?

You know why people were scared?, They thought they were channeling.

Lmfao, I just read the origins part of that wiki, The only band in the entire segment thats metal is Black Sabbath, what a joke.

We all know that the definition of Heavy Metal was all confused at first . . even Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" was considered as HM when it was out and popular . I think the Hammond Organ in it really confused the audience though .

Doug Ingle, Iron Butterfly's vocalist and keyboard player had his father's church organist background to thank for that part .

(Did you ever see the Simpsons episode where Bart substitutes the Sunday services organ music for "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"?)

It sounded so ethereal that it got everybody confused . "White Room" was another that got things off to a lot of confusion .

Judas was not on my playlist . . . but I recognize talent when I see it .

Bands like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin were not really "metallic" either . . . just heavy I feel . Tony Iomi is one of the best .

What I don't care for is the anger in the lyrics . It's where the "heavy" part is . It's just depressing and very Maudlin .

Speed Metal, Punk and Rap are also out of my genre . . . although I know there's a lot of talent in them, I think it could be better directed .

Oh . . and I like Arrested Development too . . they seem to have an ambiance that I just like . A cultured sortta story telling with ghetto undertones .

616963 2007-12-02 02:21:00 I am right now (paying for, of course) downloading the Iron Butterfly whole CD with In A Gadda...in it.

Thanks a heap Metla!

616964 2007-12-02 02:21:00 Every heavy metal song ever made can track its heritage directly back to the source, Black Sabbath.



And heavy doesn't equal anger, to state that just means a lot was missed, if not misunderstood. Its the power of the music, The depth of emotion, The subject matter of the lyrics. The music is dynamic and all encompassing, Its not about anger.

Still, Its not for everyone,:D

Who?

Tony Iommi is the guitarist, right there alongside Ozzy.

The sound, and the vision of the band was mostly his. Black Sabbath wouldn't have existed in the way it did if it wasn't for him.

Hell, Ozzy didn't even write most of the lyrics.


Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Ozzy, They all share the pedestal.
Metla (12)
616967 2007-12-02 06:37:00 And look how Sabbath died after Ozzy left. Even with the likes of Ronnie Dio and Ian Gillan it never quite recovered

For some reason I thought his name was Tommi, no idea why
