The two biggest influences for metal were the blues and distortion, also known as Jimi hendrix. Led Zeppelin basically is the perfect combination of rock and its parent genre, the blues. Add distortion to it and you get Sabbath which basically is heavy metal. Helter Skelter didn't do a whole lot to push the concept. Many bands were trying to make songs that rocked harder than any song released before. The Who were trying to top themselves and the beatles were trying to top them.

Deep Purple brought the very important classical influences (especially in soloing), the screaming, and the speed (Speed King and Highway Star are faster than anything by BS or LZ).

Pink Floyd is often overlooked when discussing the evolution of Heavy Metal sounds. 1967 "Interstellar Overdrive", crosses genre between psychedelic and bombastic blues. In 1969 Pink Floyd released "The Nile Song", on the album "More", a musical piece that is easily more Heavy Metal than psychedelic. Heavy Metal is as influenced by Jazz and Baroque era music as it is American Blues, and I would argue early Psychedelic music were experiments that constructed melodic works by combining these genres... Heavy Metal does this with a bit more angst.

I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! *HEAVY METAL:* Stretching Blues/R&B/Pop/Classical/(almost anything) concepts out to the farthest degree possible. - (Insert 'ominous' here) -Loud, plodding drums. -Loud, 12-bar bass bottom. -Loud, 'machismo' vocals trying to reach high. -Loud, thundering crunch-chords that sound 'gargantuan' & (at the same time) 'dark' or 'ominous'. - (insert tritone here) -Screeching guitar lead with a _'metallic'_ edge. This 'stretching' creates a desirable sort of 'drone' or 'sludge' quality. *Note:* Some say Heavy Metal is _"defined"_ by the _'muted-E'_ or _'diminished-5ths'_ or the _'required'_ presence of the _'tritone'._ (As a musician) I respect someone trying to break it down to pure musical language. *IMHO* You get lost in the weeds that way. You forget the 'dis-affected adolescent'/rebel-against-the-established-order'/ *Culture Shock* goals at play. _By any means necessary!_ Kinda like trying to explain R&R. *LYRICS:* Anyone using 'lyrics' to define a genre should take a musical theory course. Do HM lyrics require _Witches?_ _Spaceships?_ _Norse Gods?_ _Mystical stuff?_ _Murder?_ et al? Of course not. Almost any example could probably be found (to some degree) in another genre ('Gimme Shelter', for instance). While I feel there have been some great HM lyricists; *This ain't exactly Dylan/Morrison territory.* fugedaboudit! *TERMINOLOGY:* Tricky. Forget metallurgy, William Burroughs & Steppenwolf. The term 'Heavy' was used in music going back to the '50s. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Heavy Metal" WAS used in the late '60s by Journalists, Radio DJs, & during interviews, if clumsily. I Heard It Used & said it myself. *-* *Lester Bangs* used _"Heavy Metal"_ to describe a Love concert. - (unknown origin) *-* A Hendrix concert was described as _"...Heavy_ _Metal falling from the sky."_ - (unknown origin) *-* (re: Guess Who’s 'Canned Wheat') _“With a_ _fine hit single, ‘Undun,’ behind them, they’re_ _quite refreshing in the wake of all the heavy_ _metal robots of the year past.”_ - (Rolling Stone-Feb.1970-Lester Bangs) *-* _"....Humble Pie is a noisy, unmelodic, heavy_ _metal-leaden shit-rock band, with the loud_ _and noisy parts beyond doubt.”_ - (Rolling Stone-Sept.1970-Mike Saunders) *-* _"....Grand Funk sludge, because Sir Lord_ _Baltimore seems to have down pat most_ _all the best heavy metal tricks in the book."_ - (Creem Magazine-May 1971-Mike Saunders) Not much documentation. But, enough to suggest my 'organic usage' claim is real. As you see, it wasn't very _accurate_ usage. Cream/Blue Cheer/Vanilla Fudge/Iron Butterfly/Led Zeppelin/Deep Purple/Mountain were not referred to as _'Heavy Metal'_ (yet). So, the _'terminology-origin-story'_ begins AND ends with *Lester Bangs.* By 1972-73, Lester (& others who followed his lead) were referring to the: *"Heavy Metal Triumvirate"* (Zep/Sab/Purple). By the time BOC & Priest arrived, the genre was codified. When folks say Black Sabbath was the first *Fully-Formed Heavy Metal* (FFHM); It's usually followed by saying previous bands were: _"Hard Rock",_ or _"Psychedelic Rock',_ or _"Proto-Metal",_ or _'Acid Rock',_ whatever. Actually, those previous bands had FFHM songs in their repertoire. But, it was just PART of their set. *Black Sabbath* WAS the 1st to make an entire album of Heavy Metal. THAT was their pioneering concept (ALL Metal)! They also played everything in 'Drop-D'. (Again) not the first. But, the first to feature it prominently in ALL songs. Geezer, Tony, or Bill would be the 1st to admit they continued what Cream (& Jimi, & Blu Chr, & Deep Purple, & Led Zep, & Van Fudge, & Jeff Beck Group, & many others.) had begun. (Ozzie liked _"The Beatles"._ LoL~°) Sabbath also began the process of sifting out the 'blues' aspects (but not entirely). (IMHO) Priest finished THAT job! I submit: Cream - *'Deserted Cities of the Heart'* (1968) Album: *'Live Cream-Vol.2'* (Not 2005 version) It is: *Fully Formed Heavy Metal!* If you still don't hear it; I dunno, man. Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B..

Musical genres don't just grow on trees, they have taken many millennia to become what they are today. Music history predates even written history. Black Sabbath (although I agree they are a major, if not the most major, turning point), would never have existed without the blues, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Chuck Berry, J.S. Bach, and all of their influences combined.

The first time I heard that song you could've told it was straight out of the 90s. This ecstatic singing and chaotic instrumental is something I didn't find in any of the other early "metal" songs which makes it feel more like the classic punk attitude. I love that rawness and it's the main reason why I lost my interest in metal after a relatively short time. Just feels... too calculated from time to time

The inventor of Heavy Metal music is Toni Iommi with the title track to Black Sabbath's 1st album Black Sabbath released on Friday Feb. 13th 1970, exactly one week before my birth. It didn't use tritone chords but it did use the interval of a tritone from its tonic root. It's in G minor, so the tonic root is the of the OG version of the song Black Sabbath is in G and the tritone to it is a D Flat, and that chord relationship had never before been used as the frontal chord progression for a piece of music in the genre of rock (or any genre near it) until then. It was inspired by Gustav Holst's Mars: Planet of War from The Planets. Mars also inspired The Emperor Theme from The Empire Strikes Back written by John Williams in 1979and Am I Evil by Diamondhead in 1980. Did I get anything wrong? As always: Thanks for posting!

If you want to look at the Who's influence on Hard Rock and the Metal, look at Live at Leeds and their live work. They take many of their more standard 60s songs and turned the volume to 11. John Entwistle's basslines add a much greater depth and heaviness to the sound, as well as Pete Townshend's use of stacked amps to give greater volume and variation in tones meant he could get incredible distortion out of his SG. The Who live in their prime were hard rock gods.

I always felt Albert King sounded very metal and if Buddy Holly had been a lot less cheerful and efervescent he might have got a mention for fast and hard.

Back in the 60s, as a teenager, I was very much caught up into rock music, guitar rock I suppose it is now called. 67 and 68 were the years of rock paradise as far as I was concerned. There was psychedelic rock, blues rock, and a few other types that I just had to listen to over and over. Cream of course, the stones, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, big brother, and on and on and on. But there was one group and one song that I loved the sound of, that was separate from the rest. Blue Cheer- Summertime Blues. It was called hard rock at the time, but, in the progression of rock music I realized it was two or three stops down the line. When I heard the term "metal rock, I thought, "oh yeah, Blue Cheer"! And to me I have always thought of that being the start of Heavy Metal music. These thoughts are just personal and not meant to disagree with anyone else's.

1968 was an important year and Voodoo Child is totally left out. It crammed so many heavy metal roots into a few minutes.

Jimi Hendrix's helped to pioneer & popularize a super heavy style of feedback distortion & fast heavy style of blues guitar playing with it. Many early pioneers where heavy Hendrix fans that where heavily influenced by Hendrix. Tony Immoi was a major Jimi Hendrix's fan & student that even own & used a left handed white Stratocaster just like Jimi during the recording of there first album in the fall of 1969. What happened was haft way though recording the album Tony's Stratocaster broke so he had to switch to his backup guitar which was a red Gibson SG. So even if Jimi Hendrix isn't consider Metal, his music definitely had a massive impact on the creation of Metal as many early Metal artist & pioneer's where major fans & students of Jimi Hendrix's & incorporated alot of elements from Jimi's style of Heavy Blues Rock into there styles.

No "bluesman " ever sounded like Led Zeppelin. When LZ's first album came out, no one F.M. listening hipster had heard anything like it, and then when they hit A.M. radio with Whole Lotta Love in 1969 kids like me were blown away. Then the next thing you hear from the F.M. listening hipsters in 1970 is the name Black Sabbath and I was intrigued by the name alone , not having heard their music at that time. Little did we know(except for music press reading hipsters) that music media had just coined a new term to describe this heavy distorted acid rock. A review of American group Sir Lord Baltimore's first album, 1970s Kingdom Come , labeled their sound as "heavy metal". This is the first time the term heavy metal is used to describe a groups sound. Listen to that record and you will see why. By the end of Black Sabbaths first American tour the press started labeling them as heavy metal. As for being the first to have that sound we now call heavy metal, Black Sabbath is the winner. Check out the early Iron Claw (Scottish band 1970) recordings to see how much they loved early Black Sabbath. The music press by 1974/75 often had the big three of Heavy Metal on the cover, Led Zeppelin ,Deep Purple and Black Sabbath.

@@unclebruncle Exactly, Voodoo Child and Manic Depression aren't metal but considering that the narrator spent half the vid talking about "heavy" rock songs, Voodoo Child and Manic Depression are both heavier than just about all of them, hell even Purple Haze is heavier than many of the songs provided before the video mentioned Sabbath.

@@EngineeringTechnikcom I don't talk shit. I'm serious because I got a good ear. do you?? I don't hate Sabbath because of Ozzy, but they aren't heavy. They are pure acid rock. That's not heavy metal yet. DIO created one in Rainbow. Listen to Stargazer if you're still not convinced. And he came to Sabbath. And that's where Iommi poured his full potential with heavy riffs from Heaven and Hell. Rainbow and Sabbath-DIO line up is the pioneer of Metal. And it's all about Ronnie James Dio. He is Neil Armstrong of Jazz music. The ambassador of metal. I don't talk shit. So, go educate yourself more.

Black Sabbath made metal. The long hair, distorted guitar, dark lyrics.

@@uncleal7635 It's more a joke, but plenty of metal bands do have the long hair. Especially in the early metal. Hell, there's technically even a genre for it, hair metal.

@Umbra Don't entirely disagree with you, Black Sabbath were one of the first. Steppenwolf, Deep Purple, and Led Zeppelin I would argue started the hard rock/heavy metal genre. I do think Sabbath and Judas Priest both truly defined metal, however. Deep Purple were the loudest band in the world for a long time, even though they don't claim to be Heavy Metal, nor do Led Zep.

black widow came before sabbath imo sabbath were the first to bring metal to the mainstream

Sir Lord Baltimore should be mentioned as well. Their first album from '70, "Kingdom Come", was hard and heavy throughout the entire LP with the exception of one tune. The album cover from SLB's "Kingdom Come" is pretty awesome as well.

I thought you would say something about Gustav Holst’s “Mars: Bringer of War,” which was WAY ahead of its time and Black Sabbath acknowledged inspired their sound.

You missed the Kinks, You really got me, (1964) as the earliest candidate for a metal song.

I agree. I expected to see it here. Especially since Polyphonic channel did cover this song on its video about guitar distortion.

Glad you mentioned Coven.

I love how today when we hear this distortion in blues it sound normal to us because of how much we’ve heard it around in other music. But when people in the 60s heard distortion thought it to be incredibly heavy, just shows how we’ve grown

The Kinks 1964 You really got me!

The Beatles released four songs that could be considered metal. Revolution - Hey Jude B-Side Yer Blues - The White Album Helter Skelter - The White Album And then in 1969 I Want You (She's So Heavy) - Abbey Road

That guitar solo in the song by Bill Haley and the Comets rock around the clock was the first heavy metal guitar style
