[Publius]

1966.

[Olog-hai]

Especially since he died back in October.

Hey, I dont track these guys.

Tell me Keef is still here :)

[Secret Agent Man]

I blame syphilis for Pete’s clearly deteriorated mental state.

[smvoice]

I haven’t heard that song in years! Great video, THANKS! It cleansed my brain of..well..you know..:)!

I can’t believe STH is even ON jukeboxes. You could walk in, immediately put that song on, order, drink 5 cups of cofee and have dessert and pat. And that song would STILL be playing when you walked out the door pool

[TigersEye]

I don’t know nuttin’ ‘bout no European Death Metal.

If I didn’t care about POing my neighbors I might blow out some speakers on some AC/DC though.

Friggin’ responsibilities and conscience! What a sad state for an old Rocker! :)

[KC_Conspirator]

I would agree. But OTOH Sabbath was very bluesy.

[John 3_19-21]

I think they qualify as heavy.

[Publius]

When I was working in radio in Seattle, we used to use that song for bathroom breaks.

[mylife]

Amen.

[smvoice]

pat should be PAY.
And strike POOL. I have no idea where that came from!

[doorgunner69]

Used to have a bunch of 45’s by Link Wray and the Raymen.

Was heavy into surf music and hated the Beatles’ sound.

[ThunderSleeps]

I had an amplifier and speakers in college that I could use to blow out candles placed in front of the woofers - something I demonstrated more than once, to the dismay of the other residents in the dorm... Current setup would probably do it too, though I’d probably have to wait until wife and dog were gone to try...

[TigersEye]

When mountains crumble to the sea,
there will still be Keef and me!

[TTFlyer]

Sorry, no sale.

[Tired of Taxes]

We were copied by so many bands, principally by LED ZEPPELIN

Well, Zeppelin did copy other bands, but the Who wasn't one of them.

[mylife]

:)

[TigersEye]

LOL

Rock on!

[Fiji Hill]

No, Johnny "Guitar" Watson invented Heavy Metal.
