To Old Man, Re: Metal

Metal was tone deaf posers. :) (I kid)

I always considered them Rock. They were marketed as Metal by MTV and compilation record sales, two groups that a) kill music for money, and B) rarely are correct (IMO)

 

The fact that MTV can tell me what's popular makes me sad. They can't make me like it though. But they got to Bazza :no: HE KNOWS WHY!

Well my point was that at the time, Sabbath etc. was as metal as you could get. But now even Iron Maiden is easy listening and Metallica (the very benchmark of metal from '83 - '91) is pretty mainstream rock. I wonder if the progression will continue or if there is some sort of event horizon past which metal cannot be pushed.

Going back further than Sabbath you have Cream and The Kinks. Yes...The Kinks. Metal: You Really Got Me. Yes, Cream was a heavy band (for the time anyway).

 

Not sure if the feedback/foldback from My Generation was influential in the creation of metal, but I'm sure it could claim to be a part (if does have the first mainstream bass solo).
