Here's a diversion from Omicron, on the anniversary of Jimi's Fillmore East New Year's Eve concert.

I just listed to this song yesterday and I thought “that’s heavy metal!” I’m not sure if there was anything similar from another artist prior to that song.

The “Machine Gun” that night was pinnacle Jimi.

Black Sabbath invented heavy metal. No one else.
Flame away but deep down you know I’m right.

And Paranoid is still the best metal album.

Helter Skelter certainly sounded very “Metal-ish” when it came out.

Agreed, as did “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”.

“Rumble,” Link Wray, 1958.
The first intentionally distorted guitar.

Yes. But Helter Skelter came out a year after Hendrix “Axis Bold As Love.”

Agreed on that. Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” is #2.

A distorted guitar solo doesn't make a piece "Heavy Metal".
Lyrics such as "travel by my dragonfly", "groovy", and "cotton candy" don't help either.
'Spanish Castle Magic' is lighter than some of Jimi's other work which isn't considered Heavy Metal.
