Listen to Rocka-Rola by Judas Priest released in 1974
Listen to Lonesome Crow by The Scorpions released 1972
That is what heavy metal sounded like in the early 70's before the term was even widely used. Zep was even heavier at the time.
I think Sabbath's first album was released in the US around 1970 although I recall it being available as an import as early as 1968.
Black Sabbath was so heavy at the time that most of us kids had to listen to it "undercover" from our parents who thought it was devil music.Comment

Noboddy can write a tune like Zeppelin. Every song they wrote was incredible. Physical Graffitti is a desert island album . One that you would bring to one at least. zepIII is a joke, they're all great. It's a progression up the ladder, no robert johnson, no chuck berry, no jimi, no jimmy page, no Blackmore, no Schenker, no vanhalen, no Rhoads no warren and jake, no yngwie, no whoever else you like. It's the blues that started it all baby!!! I'm tellin' ya. And as for VH1, Eddie trunk can go play his fake guitar all day, who cares.Not helping the situation since 1965!Comment

durning the 70's people called Zep, Purple, Hendrix etc. heavy metal. The definition is changed now. These days those bands are called hard rock or classic rock. Heavy metal is darker and has a constant palm muting on the lower strings. Black Sabbath is the heavy metal. Zep is the gretest hard rock band ever."There is nothing more fearful than imagination without taste" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Valerie by the monkees . who played the solo? My guess it Tommy Tedeisco.Not helping the situation since 1965!Comment

Actually.. I think that was Glen Campbell.Originally posted by horns666The Monkeys had a shred solo in their song "Valerie"..that was a 3 year old Yngwie Malmsteen on that song..Comment

I believe the first "shred" was performed by Danny Cedrone who was the guitarist for Bill Haley and the Comets. The song was Rock Around the Clock. It was around 1955.Comment

Van Halen is not metal either. Most of the '80s "hair" bands were not metal. They were hard rock.Originally posted by MichaelLitvakI feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment
