    anything from the first Budgie LP. anything from the s/t Jamul LP. Anything by Pentagram. "Nile Song" by Pink Floyd. "Super stupid" by Funkadelic. "Move Over" by Slade. Anything from the 2nd Stooges LP. "I want you" by the MC5. Something from the first Man Lp.

  • Need some Deep Puple on there. "Smoke on the Water" mayhaps.

    Well, if you wanna say "The Monks," then that's all right with me.

    1966 and mean as Cape Buffaloes. More punk than Metal, but that gutter guitar on I Hate You is deep deep.

    This question is difficult - I mean, do you see Sabbath era bands as being "Metal", or do you see them as "proto metal" (barf), and see bands like Metallica as being the original "metal"??? I guess most people think of the original metal being late 70's/early 80's, but there are plenty of truly metal sounding bands/albums from the late 60's/early 70's. I would say Budgie is metal. I would say David Bowie's "the man who sold the world" lp is metal. So, therefore, the "roots of metal" would be a lot of early/mid 60's groups, no?

    metallica is still new school to me as they were already influeced by "the new wave of brittish heavy metal"

    most people see it the roots coming from the late 60's/early 70's. That's why in 1980 they dubbed the glut of heavy bands coming out of England "The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal." The Metallica's of the world came 4-5 years after that and took shit to it's lowest point when they started doing Swizz Beats remixes.

    but wouldn't the title "the new wave of heavy metal" in fact point to an already existing style?

  • but wouldn't the title "the new wave of heavy metal" in fact point to an already existing style?

    correct - that's why the roots of heavy metal is considered to be bands from the 60's/70s.

    I guess I'm just looking at it like "the roots" is meaning bands pre-dating the coining of the genre.

    I think whether Black Sabbath is the first metal band or merely the direct inspiration for the first metal bands is up for debate...

    Ozzy credits the early Kinks for turning him on to noise...

    Pentagram and Judas Priest are the earliest post Sab metal groups that spring to mind
