As uncle Albert used to say: "Everything is relative" and this thread is no exception.
The only reason this thread needs to be re-entitled " The Forefathers of Heavy Metal" is because you people are confusing rock songs for Heavy Metal songs.
The first truely Metal song was written and performed by Black Sabbath.
They combined ALL the elements which constitutes a METAL song.
Up until then , there were only some songs, that were louder than most Rock songs ,that from time to time Iincorporated distrotion.
That unto itself does NOT make a song Metal. Nor does simply adding speed to that combo make a song , Metal.
You can continue to declare C&W songs to be Classical Music until Hell freezes over , however, that will not make it so. You can even get a lot of other people who confuse C&W for Classical, to declare it is Classical Music, it does not change the facts, that C&W is not and never will be, Classical.
As Joe , a very intricate-ly, knowledgeable , music enthusiasts, already poetically allured to, the definitive answer, Black Sabbath, has already been declared.
By all means, continue on with misinformed answeres until all of your hearts are content.....lol
I won't borther to waste anymore of my time asserting the obvious.
Yeah, I'm not claiming that "Fire" was a metal song. You could say that it was pop since it made all the charts, but it had a lot of the elements of a metal song.
