The Who were infact the FIRST metal band
>>130479347Das right!
WHO was the first metal band?
>>130479347Well they did hold the record for loudest live show before Deep Purple broke it.
literally finished marathoning their discog today and there isn't a single song that sounds anything like heavy metal (and that's a good thing), they're squarely rock/hard rock (also a good thing)
>>130479347>Roger Daltrey became Jimmy SavilleI did NOT see that one coming
>>130479367The Beatles : Helter Skelter
>>130480756Preach, sis. I'm gay.
>>130480762>Lives in NY>wears a shirt with his address on it in case he gets lostI never knew he had special needs
>>130479347oh God he's entering his Roger Waters senile ranting period. expect more nonsense soon
>>130479347Who is shithendrix aped townshends whole style hendrix is shit
>>130480756Individual song doesn't make the whole band metal thoughbeit even if that's one of the more clear proto-metal songs.
>>130480975>Who is shit
Someone post an actually good Who song. Everything I've heard was stupid

>>130481297oooof
Weren't they Power Pop though?
No Led Zeppelin has a stronger claim to that title (besides of course Sabbath but their album came later). That said The WHo made My Generation which is undeniably the first punk song
>>130481181https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIpsDTSmRyMyou're a fag non rock appreciator if you don't think My Generation is great, pure energy
>>130479347No they weren't.
>>130480756Not Metal.
I always felt like The Who were more influential in punk and alt-rock than metal tbphwyf
>>130480756Paul said he wanted to make the heaviest song possible and *that’s* it? Did distortion not exist? It’s just regular rock not even hard rock
>>130480749>spends a lifetime around pete townsend>acquires certain tastesmakes sense.
Sharon Osbourne's bots will be out to tell everyone the Official Canon of Metal that doesn't line up with reality but all the most retarded metal cultists keep repeating because they love Sharon's own Helen Keller of a husband.If there is an afterlife Ozzy is burning in hell.

It's amusing how metal is supposedly disrespected yet so many wish to claim its invention
>>130480762Mods, I'm begging you, just ban him. He contributes nothing but the same tired bullshit.
>>130479347He still sounds great and you know he's no leftist like so many other rock stars. Pete's the genius of course but The Who isn't remotely top tier without Rog.
>>130479347Townsend's solo's were pretty metal for 1970 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iScVhikO7sI
>>130480756Banshees version is the best btw
>>130479347Live at Leeds is pretty heavy
>>130479347>heavy metal band>fender telecastertry again faggot
>>130479347
>>130487389You're crazy if you think h.s. isn't heavy. Some elements border on mathcore

>>130494231>cheap thrillsyou fockin wot
>>130492620So was John Entwistle's songwriting I suppose. He did embody the fascination with death, the occult and dark theme that you often see in metal but that wasn't really present in Pete's songs.Also, can't believe nobody in this thread has Boris the Spider, hard to get more proto-metal than thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvFuUaCe8eY
>>130479347They had riffs and screaming but they weren't the first metal band. I believe the common belief is either Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin is the first metal band but Blue Cheer's cover of Summertime Blues may be the first true metal song.
Venom probably. First heavy metal band that mattered. Motörhead were more of a punk/hard rock fusion, I don’t view them as metal. Heavy for sure but musical, the riffs n stuff aren’t metal.
>>130479367Beethoven
>>130495670some of there for one song
'Blondie was the first rapper'-vibes
>>130479347Black Sabbath was the first band that released an album of heavy metal>>130485653Led Zeppelin did more/less than only heavy metal on their debut though.>>130491330Tony Iommi was responsible for the how Black Sabbath sounded, not Ozzy.>>130496849>Venom>First heavy metal band that matteredNobody gave a shit about Venom in the 80s. They were thought of as a joke.
