Black Sabbath invented loud schlock for Seconal addicts.

Nevertheless, they invented the genre. Black Sabbath invented heavy metal. There is no debate here.

Hard to believe Ginger Baker still walks among us..

[Beowulf9]

Innagaddadavida was more heavy metal. So, maybe we should consider Iron Butterfly the originators of heavy metal

[mylife]

Beck is amazing

[smvoice]

Y Nuevo Ano Felizidad!

thank you very much for putting that ear bleeder in my head..!

[mmichaels1970]

Sound is evolutionary. Whoever we THINK invented something was actually inspired by the guy who did.

[TigersEye]

Does he? I wonder if he can still make it sound like there are two drummers drumming?

[Billthedrill]

thank you very much for putting that ear bleeder in my head..!

I heard it today...in Walmart. They had the suicide pills under lock and key.

Por Nada, amigo

Yup he still lives I think, all the other musicians hate him but he still walks.

Not sure about the drumming.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Steppenwolf wasn't heavy metal. They were just pure, 60s era rock.

"Magic Carpet Ride" doesn't exactly make you want to chug a bottle of Jack's.

*😳*!! No joke! I cannot TAKE it. Every hour it's played on every station. It comes on, I immediately switch stations, and there it is, mocking, mocking me. I have Feliz Navidad Rage. I admit it

[TigersEye]

Oh? Why do other musicians hate him? I never did keep up on stuff like that.

Some one put stairway on the juke box today and I wanted to shoot myself LOL Then The Who came on and I was saved!

What I had played was this...

Ginger was a dick like me!
Notoriously difficult to work with.

They may well have coined the Term. From Born To Be Wild.

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin’ with the wind
And the feelin’ that I’m under

I blew the speakers in my truck out last year on the way home after dealing with a rude customer on a jobsite-but I was jamming to AC/DC’s Jailbreak at the time-the friend who replaced them for me really got a laugh out of that...

I have a neighbor and co-worker who is my age who listens to that European Death Metal-I may be an old head banger, but that stuff makes DOA sound like a party song-I really can’t get into it at all it...

When did the Troggs record Wild Thing? I know Hendrix covered it in 67.

[TigersEye]

LOL. OK, I can relate! :)
