Yes, you may have no hair.
With bouncing soles, boing boing! There were p.c. people in the 80's who told us not to wear Docs because we would support right wing Skinheads, oh I'm not correct, they're called Boneheads, free speech is such a nice thing always, oh wait, it isn't, but anyway we burned our Doc Martens and walked on bare feet to support the people somewhere who can't afford to buy shoes at all.
And never shave your head or you're a fascist and you're not supporting Heavy Metal, remember it's not your choice, they know what's correct, always listen to them.
:eek:

Deep Purple, Zeppelin and Sabbath are typically the top three "contenders" for first heavy metal band, you know, when the argument comes up. I figure Purple and Zeppelin to be too blues based to make the list, so Sabbath gets it in my book. Not that I'd read the book. Other than some early Sabbath, and the Metallica CD done with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, I've got not much use for metal.

I see! Thanks, PS! I like all three bands and have their first 2-3 albums, then my interest in them wore off. Of course, that was before Heavy Metal was invented as a concept. It's funny to see how they're now called the first Heavy Metal bands although I do see the connection.

Iommi was the first to make regular use of the "Devil's Third" (a flatted-fifth or augmented fourth interval, for those of you scoring at home), which gave him that distinctive "evil" Black Sabbath sound.
But then dissecting music is like dissecting comedy. It takes all the ignorant joy out of it.

Jimmie Hendrix, MC5 and Blue Cheer. One of them was first.
Say what you will, but I think we all know that invented heavy metal.

Maybe I wouldn't know metal if it ate my baby, but I would never put Hendrix in the metal box. Probably not Led Zeppelin either. Slow. Ominous. Loud. Hendrix and Led Zeppelin could be those things, but not all the time. And they had a sense of humor that metal utterly lacks.
Eh, it's all RAWK anyway. Maybe the government has done a study that officially classifies them. I'll call Tipper and ask.

Jimi Hendrix taught them how to make their sound. I have to agree he was not the metal that metal has become but they came up with metal trying to play like Hendrix IMO. The Beatles started some of it as well but not much of their stuff.
Hendrix has some Jazz undertones.

Dick Dale, Dick Dale. Invented HM, JH and Punque. Look at the early attempts at the "pogo". Dick fucking Dale. You will have to listen to surf music again and again and again.
Oh yeah, and invented Dick Dale.
And invented the chord structure for The Stooges' Loose and Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water. All in a 1965 day's work.

Okay, Digney in Burnaby is right, again. It's funny that those songs were in Pulp Fiction. (Link Wray and Dick Dale.)
Well, there are only 12 freakin' notes*, so everything but grunting is a rip-off.
* Yes, I was referring to Western music.

I change my vote-Link Way all the way, he invented metal and garage rock.
