another documentary that caught my attention very cool, it was Heavy Metal from Brazil. has some very aggressive thrash bands, one that caught my attention was Chakal, Mutilator, Witchhammer. beyond the SEPULTURA, I already knew. name is "RUIDO DAS MINAS" for all to see
@dirtynuke I think Ghost are pretty good but theyre about the only 'big' band I can think of that are good. then In solitude and Portrait are really great too! Oh and Cathedral are still making great albums that are really NWOBHM inspired as well as doomy and psych induced. Darkthrones last few album have displayed more than a few healthy nods to the great older bands too.
@dirtynuke don't get me wrong I love the older heavy metal bands too. but so much great stuff is still going on. granted that the good stuff is more underground now...
@carlbags666 i dunno about that. maybe its just personal taste. but the shit they call metal these days. its like that terrible screeching noise, the teacher makes on the blackboard. i can't stand it.
Heavy Metal was popular and it was fucking awesome. Modern music is popular and its totally crap. People got too lazy not only to produce, but to appreciate real music.
British punk was great too. All those bands were terrific. I just despise this shit metal that has molested music for the last twenty five years. And it's only gotten worse with shit bands that can only wail and scream and have zero fucking talent nor melody in their music. Just senseless garbage and they call it metal. I say what is this shit? Whatever happened to Hawkwind? Zeppelin? Sabbath?
I hate that they kept critisizing punk, I was around back in these days in London and was both in the nwobhm and punk that was coming out I had the big Mohawk. And studded punk jackets but also had my denim. Gigs were pouring out everywhere. One night I'd see Discharge then the other iron maiden or exploited then to see Tokyo blade. It was good times and we all had good times. Great memories.
Those were great days. Neal ran an annual reunion up until 2006/7 and it was great to see so many of the original Bandwagonners there. Sadly, there hasn't been a reunion since. Can't believe how much time has passed and how quickly but I am proud to have been part of it all at the birthplace of Headbanging and who would have thought it would have taken over the whole world as it has done.
I wonder if they registered that inverted Flying V design, Gibson would owe them a fortune! Long live the Soundhouse! Long live Willy Flasher & The Raincoats ;)
@Geetar2112 - yeah Gibson actually made a real inverted V guitar like this in 2007 as a limited edition run of only a few hundred, and they sold out right away. search for: gibson Reverse Flying V
"fans can be found at heavy metal discos"...... i cringe at the use of the word disco there haha. i also had to listen to the first minute three or four times to understand what the people were saying :S
Genesis and Rush patches.... wow, that´s almost impossible to see nowdays. I´d say metal stopped being interesting from like late 80ies. All its innovative powers were exhausted by that time. It´s just a parody of itself, now, and a place for teenagers trying to fit in somewhere. Thanks for the video.
You never see metal fans going this far now days, do ya? Nah, cause metal is SHITE now days.... listen to old stuff and blow yourself away, than to listen to drop C, drop D bollocks. Fuck that, listen to great metal and head bang to fuck!
@gyroe182 Do you even know what drop D is? It's a tuning that only changes the top E string down to a D note. Which makes power chords easier. And, you can't deny that power chords were dominant in a lot of metal and punk music before it was a staple to go to drop D. Of course rock and metal music has changed plenty throughout the years, but that's why the classics still hold power after so many years.
@ShakeZulaTheMicRula I think the point he's trying to make is that drop tunings are the pussy way of doing things. If not, it's the point he SHOULD be making!
I AGREE WITH YOU 1,000,000 TRILLION PERCENT!!! There is not one band I can mention from now days. I just don't know!!! That drop C,drop D etc is just crap...That's right gyroe182, LISTEN TO GREAT METAl AND HEAD BANG!! They think they know whatever now days...Ask them if they ever heard of Exciter, Metal Church,Nuclear Assault, Overkill, Angelwitch, Exodus(with Paul Baloff), MOD,SOD,etc,etc(I could go on and on) or any old "Krautrock" like Lucifer's Friend or old Scorpions.Europe is#1
seems like someone never heard of evile,dominus praelii,tantara,gama bomb,lazarus ad,and million more bands that arent recognised just because jerks like u think only dudes with 50+ years are allowed to make good heavy metal,guess what, there re lots of great heavy and thrash bands out there they just need headbangers support and no ones give a shit bout that,evyone bitches bout the old times,fuck the old times this video aint gonna give me a mosh pit every friday
@SnakesBlues First of all, I am not a jerk. You are for calling me one just because I am just stating my opinion, not calling anyone names. I am older, yes, I was around when early Iron Maiden came out etc. Call me a dinosaur if you want, but radio around here in my state is terrible. I was not ragging on Metal now, There are no underground stations here. Metal here is radio play stuff mostly that is sell out material, not underground. You basically feel how we all felt then. I am on your side.
Damn, those British accents make it hard to understand what they're saying sometimes. Wish we still had those headbanger places around. Beats out karaoke and clubs any day!
yeah you noticed that bit of 'logic', but it does seem like a great way to get a point across, like all those sayings of Jesus that made it all the way down to our day. Straining a gnat while swallowing a camel and all that.
then again maybe the guy didn't see the contradiction!
Your right...the english created metal.I like NWOBHM.You guys also created 60's rock,not the Americans.You guys took care of the old blues singer as well and told Americans about their omited unknow music roots.
Blue Cheer was heavy before sabbath. sabbath had more influence on metal overall, as most metal just sounds like sabbath updated...the first 2 blue cheer albums from 68 are super heavy west coast psych stoner acid metal and they invented it. not dark moody minor key sabbath style. different, but BC was still heavier than all others first. They are still the heaviest of all in my book (those first 2 albums from 68)
Sabbath were heavier i think compared to the blue cheer albums. The song Black Sabbath is pretty much the start of metal right there. Downtuned guitars, dark lyrics, and the rain and bell etc. If you listen to it and look at the LP cover its pretty eerie.
well that's your opinion, and mine is that the first 2 blue cheer's were/are heavier than sabbath. If BC had been marketed as much as sabbath then possibly metal would have turned out differently, - not all death and chugging palm muted riffs, and instead more about surreal acid trips set to atonal proto thrash walls of fuzz (thru marshalls). sabbath didnt even use marshalls then, they used laneys that were marshall copies. BC used huge stacks of marshalls and were considered loudest band then
Black Sabbath couldn't afford all that stuff, they used their depressing shit surroundings to inspire them, not drugs like everyone did at. Thats why they stood out.. Everyone was inspired by Black Sabbath, basically everyone from the begining will say Black Sabbath created heavy metal. Judas Priest, Metallica, need i say more? Its a fact dude
Sabbath not do drugs? Ha! look it up. Sab made no secret of having been deeply enmired in drugs. blue cheer was poor then too, and still are (unlike sabbath). Yes sab became most influential of all metal. I dont deny that. I'm just saying they didnt "invent" being "heavy" or "metal" as blue cheer was heavy first, by at least 2 years, and even though they were not as influential, they were heavy out of no where...they created super heavy nearly all themselves with only jimi+cream before them.
Sorry that's impossible, as the first Blue Cheer album came before the first Deep Purple album by 6 months, and BC go back to 1966 anyways...doing the super heavy in 67 before record deal.
1st Blue Cheer = Jan 68
1st Deep Purple = July 68
plus I dont even count DP as being heavy...especially early on, they were still light and poppy with rod evans vocs. Also I'd take Uriah Heep over DP anyday for the heavy organ sound. Uriah Heep was way heavier than DP. only jimi+cream were before BC
Blue Cheers impact is completely retrorspective and because of that it is pretty minimal. the dates don't matter with BC because they never got the kind of exposure that would make them anywhere as important as Purple ,Sabbath, even Heep or Naz. Therefore retrospectively , yes they were one of the originals but in reality they were just a 3rd tier band of the 1st wave that made little impact and there are tons of those type of bands from this era. (but i still love em)
all i'm saying is BC was drastically heavier before all others + out of nowhere. I agree they didnt have big influence cuz they were ahead of their time, in summer of love california, were mired in drugs, bad management by hells angels, etc. But no one was as heavy. Have you listened to their first 2 albums? far beyond others then AND now. I still count em as heaviest band of all time, even though I love nwobhm, priest, and have heard every new metal band since, no one surpases BC in my book.
Love4SK. maybe it's ballsy for me to say it, but there would be NO SABBATH (at least w/ the sound they had) without BC. Listen to the song "Fruit & Icebergs" (one of my favorites). Also, the lumbering riffs of "Summertime Blues" was a huge influence.
Didn't the first BC album actually come out in 67? or am I wrong (were there two in '68?). It's amazing how many ppl out there have never heard of Blue Cheer (especially since they were a HUGE influence on Sabbath). Also, this documentary was probably made about 82 or so. Maiden was just taking off in '80.
this maiden metal documentary was made in 1980. And thanks for backing me about Blue Cheer...sab had to have heard them, just wont admit it as they'd lose their claim on being heavy first....nothing heavier than those first 2 BC albums from 68, then or now in my opinion.
Your welcome :) . You know its funny, cause you never see metal documentaries mentioning BC (when talking about influences on metal). They're quick to give a nod to The MC5 (and thy're an influence, to some degree, on both metal & punk of course), the Kinks, Hendrix, Cream, They Byrds, The Beatles, Steppenwolf, Muddy Waters (of course), even
(continued) Iron Butterfly (once in a while). I don't know if it's b/c the critics didn't like them (which gave them less exposure) or if they were overshadowed by Zeppelin... Speaking of Iron Butterfly, I think they would have been bigger if their manager had been more comprimising. They got stuck at an airport & the manager wanted the promoter to send a helicopter to pick them up. THe promoter decided not too, and IB lost their chance.
there is a 'history of metal' series made by vh1 awhile back that's on youtube that mentions blue cheer. and many books before the net have said BC were the metal prototypes...before sab, and different too. still as heavy but in an american way, not the UK way like sab+priest. I like both kinds, but BC are more orig as they were not as copied as sab. BC is more stoner heavy psych, so more like proto 90's heavy grunge or stoner scenes (which I dont like) but who's bands say they were infl by BC.
Huh! I hadn't seen a VH1series that mentioned BC (I saw one that, annoyingly, had glossed over B.C.) I'll have to search YT for it (maybe Vh1 actually did some reseach the 2nd time around!).
well another youtuber told me that a vh1 series mentioned BC but maybe it's not true. the guys a dork anyways, with his own stupid views on his history of metal youtube vids that I dont agree with. his youtube user name is shjoed and his videos are titled
A Complete History of Heavy Metal roots and sounds
the guy just makes up backwards validations where none exist. what do you think? hes just an attention poser as anyone who cites crap like vh1 and mtv as sources of metal history are lame
Well, MTV & VH1 are definitely not good sources to cite for metal. I saw their "100 best hard rock songs." & it sucked. They had Limp Bizkit on there! I was like " You've gotta be kidding me!"
As far as the guy himself, I actually watched his vid before (I realize that now). Actually I agree w/ a lot of what he's saying, b/c he's talking about Metal bands that hae been influenced by both other metal bands & hard rock bands. Thin Lizzy, for example, was hard rock, but their duel - guitar attack
was influential upon Priest (somewhat) as well as some of the thrash bands that came along later (SLayeR, Megadeth). Zappa was an influence on rock, all the way down the line. He had been influenced by a lot of the electronic experimentation that began growing in the 20's & was still going strong in the 60's. He also took an avant - garde approach to it that was unique. He's not mentioned as much, but was influential on the 60's/ 70's artists. The Mc5 & Kinks influence was pretty large too.
I would say thin lizzy was not an influence on priests 2 guitar attack. KK+Glenn were already playing together in 73 before lizzy even had 2 guitarists. And Zappa didnt have influence on metal that I can see, or much in rock for that matter. unless you are talking about a couple 90's or newer obscure groups with little commerical potential. most zappa stuff is too hard for rockers. MC5 were more influential on punk than metal. sidenote: Rush say they were influenced by the early Blue Cheer
mc5 were influential on many (they - like the kink's - were heavier influences on punk, but were still influential on metal..as mentioned by Ozzy @ different points). Zappa was kind of in the background. He's not mentioned a lot, but ppl throw a nod to him & say "I got such & such an idea from listening to Zappa's crazy sounds." Zappa's influence co mingled w/ that of other pioneers in experimentation(Grateful dead, w/ electronic noise, wah effects..added to their folk sounds), etc. Many
rockers & many metal groups experimented (albeit in small ways) w/ electronic/noise/ borrowing segments from obscure folk styles(...not just brought on by the general interest interest in world music, but by Zapa's playing w/ it). Priest did have dual guitarists, but they've credited the "attack" style to Lizzy's influence. Megadeth has too (although much of their's was probably influenced directly by Priest as well). Dream theater was obviously influenced by many
different genres (which alludes to the 90's bands you mentioned earlier). Their songs borrowed as many ideas from Yes & King Crimson as Sabbath & Zeppelin). Alice Cooper was also a fan of Zappa (although not experimental in the same ways). I consider Cooper to be metal (unlike the butt-rock hair metal bands of the 80's, Cooper's band had the talent to back him. I will say metal was defintely a bigger influence on
hard rock, than the other way around. I think hard rock was just "safer " for many ppl to digest. we wouldn't bat an eye at it today. Back then though? ... PPl thought it was shocking. LOL!
Thanks for your explanations, but I still have never heard lizzy mentioned by priest as influence, and I have many priest bio books and interviews from guitar mags, etc. and KK+glenn never mentioned T.Lizzy. The only noted dual guitar band in early 70's before JP was Wishbone Ash, and maybe early Scorpions. Also, you say metal influenced hard rock more? maybe from 90's on. But from late 60's on hard rock infl. the metal to come, so dont you mean the other way around? unless I misunderstand you.
@progjazzfusion priest were pretty influenced in som ways by classical music thats probably were most of their ideas for harmonizing dual guitars came from
what I didnt like about that guy was his farfetched claims that some deep purple song from the 70 was the first rap metal song! huh? just cuz gillan was talking instead of singing. that's dumb. and other such far fetched crap he probabaly got off vh1+mtv.
Yeah, you're right. That was ridiculous claim that he made. There's probably been talking forms of music for centuries. DP's influence probably came from the "talking blues" of the 30's. Also a lot of older country artists used talking forms in their music (may have been influenced by blues, maybe not). Hank williams' "Buzz, Buzz, Buzz" for example.
yes I agree. people also sometimes also say hendrix, the who, iron butterfly, steppenwolf, deep purple, uriah heep, and vanilla fudge. So basically a little of each of those bands went into getting people into heavier sounds little by little, but Blue Cheer went ALL THE WAY straight out the gate with their first 2 albums, HARD AND LOUD with no cares...just to blast and pound harder and louder than anything before them.
i disagree here, Blue Cheer have stated many times that they are not a metal band and that they dont like metal. Blue Cheer were more of a hard rock/heavy blues band. Were they heavy at times? yes, but they werent dark, it was Sabbath's dark sound that made them the first metal band imo.
BC was heavy psych acid metal if you ask me. So what if they leaned psych blues instead of dark minor sab style? heavy is heavy either way. Doesnt have to be dark to be metal. The first priest album is more psych than dark, and still metal of course, and one of my fav becuz of that uniqueness (rocka rolla). But JP, sab+BC are all built on blues and 60's acid rock though, like everything then. First 2 BC albums are heavy as hell and 2 years before sab.
Yep. That's true. I may have mentioned this before, but "Fruit & Icebergs" (gotta be my fav of all BC songs) had A LOT of the stylings that would appear in metal a few years later (doomy march riffs, heavy psychadelic-already present, but more drawn out-psychedelic singing, straight ahead pounding solos w/ a lot of the "swing" stripped out (I've heard others describe it that way too). Plus I, later, heard both Iommi & Ozzy speak of them as an influence. You're right about Priest, too.
cool, i've never seen in print where ozzy or iommi claimed BC as an influence, but it has to be...I think they are just afraid to say it now. Fruit and Icebergs was BC's 3rd album and w/different guitarist, so that's why it's doomy and the first 2 albums more acid. I like the first 2 best, but if you like the Fruit and Icebergs guitarist, you HAVE to get his solo album: Randy Holden - "Population II" from 1970.
for a song/vid clip of it, search youtube for: Randy Holden - Guitar Song
i think you have to draw the line somewhere, Cream, Hendrix, and Zeppelin were all heavy, Blue CHeer wasnt much heavier than them. Black Sabbath came in and brought heavy to a new level. and that level imo was metal. Im not saying blue cheer werent heavy, but i just dont think they were metal, they were hard rock. and i heard a quote from the drummer saying "if it is true that we birthed metal, we should have had an abortion"
yeah i dont really care what anyone calls Blue Cheer...metal or not...but they are firsts at being super heavy...WAY heavier than cream/jimi/zep. listen to these Blue Cheer songs from 1968: "Just A Little Bit" - "Come and get it" and "Magnolia Caboose Babyfinger"...they are their heaviest songs. i have all the cream,jimi, etc albums and they are not heavy at all compared to BC. also i have many more obscure groups then, and for 68 BC was it for heavy.
That could be, future. I'm saying they may have different takes on metal (over time) as well. FOr example, were they referring to sabbath style metal, or did they say that in the age of poison & warrant (hair metal)?. THose two cock rock bands were as far from metal as you could get. HOlden didn't seem to have a problem w/ it though. I guess
(Reply to no future 91 cont.) it depends on each member's opinion. I always call them proto-metal. In reality, though, much of their stuff was as heavy or heavier than stuff of deep Purple & Heep (as projazzfusion pointed out) & they're considered to be metal.
I know some diehards will say JP is not NWOBHM because they technically came before all the others, but they are the fathers of the NWOBHM bands as most NWOBHM bands cited Priest as their biggest influence and you can hear that nfluence in the sounds of all the NWOBHM bands that came out after them.
yeah it's just a saying, not the ticket price, like the american saying "if i had a nickel for every time I..." meaning doing something so many times that even a small amount of money would build up.
that works.. althought you might be richer or poorer, depending on whether or not you also got extra cash and didnt spend that, and then if you spent it on something. im sure those single dollars werent your entire fortune.
but he could have seen them for free some of the times, on the guest list or snuck in, or even on tv or videotape back then, so he could be a rich man seeing them free many times. ------ ok we know what the guy meant even if it doesnt make sense technically.....these comments could go on forever so this is my last....."If i had a dollar for every time people bickered with each other back and forth on my youtube videos, i'd be a rich man by now".
see the video response link below the video. It's from a TV show called "20th century box" and this episode was on metal. You can see most of it on the Maiden Early Years DVD but I think they edited out some of it, so it may not be the real full version on there.
Cool video! I've heard about the Soundhouse before. That guy playing the guitar cutout prefered the term "hardboard" as opposed to "cardboard" that's supposed to be a replica of the flying V that KK Downing of Judas Priest was using.
You're right about the Spinal Tap-yness. Check out the documentaries "Heavy Metal Parkinglot" and "The Decline of Western Civilization Part II; the Metal Years". Very Spinal Tap-esque.
hardboard is a sheet material made from wood fibres, it's used in the way plywood might be used, but it's not as strong. maybe it has a different name in the US.
this was originally a segment from a british TV show called 20th century box from 1980. Part of it is on the Iron Maiden Early Years DVD, but they edited out certain parts. See the video response above to see a little more, as that is a little different edit than this version, but I dont know where you can get the whole full original TV show version.
Thanks for the upload - the NWOBHM '79-'82 was the pinnacle of metal. Unreal the amount of quality stuff that came out during those 3 years.
I built my own arsenal of cardboard guitars as a rock obsessed grade schooler when I was about 8, 9 years old, several years before the NWOBHM kicked in. We all stuck to playing air guitar in public though - the cardboard guitars at show thing seems to have been an exclusively British custom.
Amazingly, I got a message from the curly haired guy who spoke from :08 to :20 about the punks, disco freaks and heavy rockers, and he proved beyond a doubt it was really him, with current pics and bio on his myspace page and all. His name is Jimmy. seems like a nice guy. says he's 49 now (in 2008), located in london, and plays keyboards in a prog rock band.
Cool!!! I got this (full) video on Maiden's Early Years Double-DVD as a bonus feature (about 20 Minutes, i think...)! Really a piece of history! ... and i am still totally into Rock and Metal!!! NWOBHM forever!!!

@SnakesBlues First of all, I am not a jerk. You are for calling me one just because I am just stating my opinion, not calling anyone names. I am older, yes, I was around when early Iron Maiden came out etc. Call me a dinosaur if you want, but radio around here in my state is terrible. I was not ragging on Metal now, There are no underground stations here. Metal here is radio play stuff mostly that is sell out material, not underground. You basically feel how we all felt then. I am on your side.

Blue Cheer was heavy before sabbath. sabbath had more influence on metal overall, as most metal just sounds like sabbath updated...the first 2 blue cheer albums from 68 are super heavy west coast psych stoner acid metal and they invented it. not dark moody minor key sabbath style. different, but BC was still heavier than all others first. They are still the heaviest of all in my book (those first 2 albums from 68)
progjazzfusion 2 years ago
Sabbath were heavier i think compared to the blue cheer albums. The song Black Sabbath is pretty much the start of metal right there. Downtuned guitars, dark lyrics, and the rain and bell etc. If you listen to it and look at the LP cover its pretty eerie.
666PeaceSells666 2 years ago
well that's your opinion, and mine is that the first 2 blue cheer's were/are heavier than sabbath. If BC had been marketed as much as sabbath then possibly metal would have turned out differently, - not all death and chugging palm muted riffs, and instead more about surreal acid trips set to atonal proto thrash walls of fuzz (thru marshalls). sabbath didnt even use marshalls then, they used laneys that were marshall copies. BC used huge stacks of marshalls and were considered loudest band then
progjazzfusion 2 years ago
Black Sabbath couldn't afford all that stuff, they used their depressing shit surroundings to inspire them, not drugs like everyone did at. Thats why they stood out.. Everyone was inspired by Black Sabbath, basically everyone from the begining will say Black Sabbath created heavy metal. Judas Priest, Metallica, need i say more? Its a fact dude
666PeaceSells666 2 years ago
Sabbath not do drugs? Ha! look it up. Sab made no secret of having been deeply enmired in drugs. blue cheer was poor then too, and still are (unlike sabbath). Yes sab became most influential of all metal. I dont deny that. I'm just saying they didnt "invent" being "heavy" or "metal" as blue cheer was heavy first, by at least 2 years, and even though they were not as influential, they were heavy out of no where...they created super heavy nearly all themselves with only jimi+cream before them.
progjazzfusion 2 years ago
Yeah of course i know sabbath used drugs xD, but later on, i've watched many-a-documentarys on them and own their albums.
666PeaceSells666 2 years ago
BC and Sabb both all it all to Deep Purple. Even Lemmy calls em the 1st. thats good enough for me.
Love4SK 2 years ago
Sorry that's impossible, as the first Blue Cheer album came before the first Deep Purple album by 6 months, and BC go back to 1966 anyways...doing the super heavy in 67 before record deal.
1st Blue Cheer = Jan 68
1st Deep Purple = July 68
plus I dont even count DP as being heavy...especially early on, they were still light and poppy with rod evans vocs. Also I'd take Uriah Heep over DP anyday for the heavy organ sound. Uriah Heep was way heavier than DP. only jimi+cream were before BC
progjazzfusion 2 years ago
Blue Cheers impact is completely retrorspective and because of that it is pretty minimal. the dates don't matter with BC because they never got the kind of exposure that would make them anywhere as important as Purple ,Sabbath, even Heep or Naz. Therefore retrospectively , yes they were one of the originals but in reality they were just a 3rd tier band of the 1st wave that made little impact and there are tons of those type of bands from this era. (but i still love em)
Love4SK 2 years ago
all i'm saying is BC was drastically heavier before all others + out of nowhere. I agree they didnt have big influence cuz they were ahead of their time, in summer of love california, were mired in drugs, bad management by hells angels, etc. But no one was as heavy. Have you listened to their first 2 albums? far beyond others then AND now. I still count em as heaviest band of all time, even though I love nwobhm, priest, and have heard every new metal band since, no one surpases BC in my book.
progjazzfusion 2 years ago
Love4SK. maybe it's ballsy for me to say it, but there would be NO SABBATH (at least w/ the sound they had) without BC. Listen to the song "Fruit & Icebergs" (one of my favorites). Also, the lumbering riffs of "Summertime Blues" was a huge influence.
soundsfromnothing 2 years ago
Didn't the first BC album actually come out in 67? or am I wrong (were there two in '68?). It's amazing how many ppl out there have never heard of Blue Cheer (especially since they were a HUGE influence on Sabbath). Also, this documentary was probably made about 82 or so. Maiden was just taking off in '80.
soundsfromnothing 2 years ago
this maiden metal documentary was made in 1980. And thanks for backing me about Blue Cheer...sab had to have heard them, just wont admit it as they'd lose their claim on being heavy first....nothing heavier than those first 2 BC albums from 68, then or now in my opinion.
progjazzfusion 2 years ago
Your welcome :) . You know its funny, cause you never see metal documentaries mentioning BC (when talking about influences on metal). They're quick to give a nod to The MC5 (and thy're an influence, to some degree, on both metal & punk of course), the Kinks, Hendrix, Cream, They Byrds, The Beatles, Steppenwolf, Muddy Waters (of course), even

They got stuck at an airport & the manager wanted the promoter to send a helicopter to pick them up. THe promoter decided not too, and IB lost their chance.

there is a 'history of metal' series made by vh1 awhile back that's on youtube that mentions blue cheer. and many books before the net have said BC were the metal prototypes...before sab, and different too. still as heavy but in an american way, not the UK way like sab+priest. I like both kinds, but BC are more orig as they were not as copied as sab. BC is more stoner heavy psych, so more like proto 90's heavy grunge or stoner scenes (which I dont like) but who's bands say they were infl by BC.
progjazzfusion 2 years ago

Well, MTV & VH1 are definitely not good sources to cite for metal. I saw their "100 best hard rock songs." & it sucked. They had Limp Bizkit on there! I was like " You've gotta be kidding me!"
As far as the guy himself, I actually watched his vid before (I realize that now). Actually I agree w/ a lot of what he's saying, b/c he's talking about Metal bands that hae been influenced by both other metal bands & hard rock bands. Thin Lizzy, for example, was hard rock, but their duel - guitar attack
soundsfromnothing 2 years ago
was influential upon Priest (somewhat) as well as some of the thrash bands that came along later (SLayeR, Megadeth). Zappa was an influence on rock, all the way down the line. He had been influenced by a lot of the electronic experimentation that began growing in the 20's & was still going strong in the 60's. He also took an avant - garde approach to it that was unique. He's not mentioned as much, but was influential on the 60's/ 70's artists. The Mc5 & Kinks influence was pretty large too.
soundsfromnothing 2 years ago
I would say thin lizzy was not an influence on priests 2 guitar attack. KK+Glenn were already playing together in 73 before lizzy even had 2 guitarists. And Zappa didnt have influence on metal that I can see, or much in rock for that matter. unless you are talking about a couple 90's or newer obscure groups with little commerical potential. most zappa stuff is too hard for rockers. MC5 were more influential on punk than metal. sidenote: Rush say they were influenced by the early Blue Cheer
progjazzfusion 2 years ago
mc5 were influential on many (they - like the kink's - were heavier influences on punk, but were still influential on metal..as mentioned by Ozzy @ different points). Zappa was kind of in the background. He's not mentioned a lot, but ppl throw a nod to him & say "I got such & such an idea from listening to Zappa's crazy sounds." Zappa's influence co mingled w/ that of other pioneers in experimentation(Grateful dead, w/ electronic noise, wah effects..added to their folk sounds), etc. Many

rockers & many metal groups experimented (albeit in small ways) w/ electronic/noise/ borrowing segments from obscure folk styles(...not just brought on by the general interest interest in world music, but by Zapa's playing w/ it). Priest did have dual guitarists, but they've credited the "attack" style to Lizzy's influence. Megadeth has too (although much of their's was probably influenced directly by Priest as well). Dream theater was obviously influenced by many
soundsfromnothing 2 years ago

different genres (which alludes to the 90's bands you mentioned earlier). Their songs borrowed as many ideas from Yes & King Crimson as Sabbath & Zeppelin). Alice Cooper was also a fan of Zappa (although not experimental in the same ways). I consider Cooper to be metal (unlike the butt-rock hair metal bands of the 80's, Cooper's band had the talent to back him. I will say metal was defintely a bigger influence on

Thanks for your explanations, but I still have never heard lizzy mentioned by priest as influence, and I have many priest bio books and interviews from guitar mags, etc. and KK+glenn never mentioned T.Lizzy. The only noted dual guitar band in early 70's before JP was Wishbone Ash, and maybe early Scorpions. Also, you say metal influenced hard rock more? maybe from 90's on. But from late 60's on hard rock infl. the metal to come, so dont you mean the other way around? unless I misunderstand you.

progjazzfusion 2 years ago
Yeah, you're right. That was ridiculous claim that he made. There's probably been talking forms of music for centuries. DP's influence probably came from the "talking blues" of the 30's. Also a lot of older country artists used talking forms in their music (may have been influenced by blues, maybe not). Hank williams' "Buzz, Buzz, Buzz" for example.
soundsfromnothing 2 years ago
yes I agree. people also sometimes also say hendrix, the who, iron butterfly, steppenwolf, deep purple, uriah heep, and vanilla fudge. So basically a little of each of those bands went into getting people into heavier sounds little by little, but Blue Cheer went ALL THE WAY straight out the gate with their first 2 albums, HARD AND LOUD with no cares...just to blast and pound harder and louder than anything before them.
progjazzfusion 2 years ago
i disagree here, Blue Cheer have stated many times that they are not a metal band and that they dont like metal. Blue Cheer were more of a hard rock/heavy blues band. Were they heavy at times? yes, but they werent dark, it was Sabbath's dark sound that made them the first metal band imo.
Nofuture91 2 years ago
I've never heard Blue Cheer say they don't like Metal. In fact, they described their last album as a "metal" album.
soundsfromnothing 2 years ago
BC was heavy psych acid metal if you ask me. So what if they leaned psych blues instead of dark minor sab style? heavy is heavy either way. Doesnt have to be dark to be metal. The first priest album is more psych than dark, and still metal of course, and one of my fav becuz of that uniqueness (rocka rolla). But JP, sab+BC are all built on blues and 60's acid rock though, like everything then. First 2 BC albums are heavy as hell and 2 years before sab.
progjazzfusion 2 years ago
Yep. That's true. I may have mentioned this before, but "Fruit & Icebergs" (gotta be my fav of all BC songs) had A LOT of the stylings that would appear in metal a few years later (doomy march riffs, heavy psychadelic-already present, but more drawn out-psychedelic singing, straight ahead pounding solos w/ a lot of the "swing" stripped out (I've heard others describe it that way too). Plus I, later, heard both Iommi & Ozzy speak of them as an influence. You're right about Priest, too.
soundsfromnothing 2 years ago
cool, i've never seen in print where ozzy or iommi claimed BC as an influence, but it has to be...I think they are just afraid to say it now. Fruit and Icebergs was BC's 3rd album and w/different guitarist, so that's why it's doomy and the first 2 albums more acid. I like the first 2 best, but if you like the Fruit and Icebergs guitarist, you HAVE to get his solo album: Randy Holden - "Population II" from 1970.
for a song/vid clip of it, search youtube for: Randy Holden - Guitar Song
progjazzfusion 2 years ago
i think you have to draw the line somewhere, Cream, Hendrix, and Zeppelin were all heavy, Blue CHeer wasnt much heavier than them. Black Sabbath came in and brought heavy to a new level. and that level imo was metal. Im not saying blue cheer werent heavy, but i just dont think they were metal, they were hard rock. and i heard a quote from the drummer saying "if it is true that we birthed metal, we should have had an abortion"
Nofuture91 2 years ago
yeah i dont really care what anyone calls Blue Cheer...metal or not...but they are firsts at being super heavy...WAY heavier than cream/jimi/zep. listen to these Blue Cheer songs from 1968: "Just A Little Bit" - "Come and get it" and "Magnolia Caboose Babyfinger"...they are their heaviest songs. i have all the cream,jimi, etc albums and they are not heavy at all compared to BC. also i have many more obscure groups then, and for 68 BC was it for heavy.
progjazzfusion 2 years ago
That could be, future. I'm saying they may have different takes on metal (over time) as well. FOr example, were they referring to sabbath style metal, or did they say that in the age of poison & warrant (hair metal)?. THose two cock rock bands were as far from metal as you could get. HOlden didn't seem to have a problem w/ it though. I guess
soundsfromnothing 2 years ago
(Reply to no future 91 cont.) it depends on each member's opinion. I always call them proto-metal. In reality, though, much of their stuff was as heavy or heavier than stuff of deep Purple & Heep (as projazzfusion pointed out) & they're considered to be metal.
soundsfromnothing 2 years ago
I know some diehards will say JP is not NWOBHM because they technically came before all the others, but they are the fathers of the NWOBHM bands as most NWOBHM bands cited Priest as their biggest influence and you can hear that nfluence in the sounds of all the NWOBHM bands that came out after them.

I built my own arsenal of cardboard guitars as a rock obsessed grade schooler when I was about 8, 9 years old, several years before the NWOBHM kicked in. We all stuck to playing air guitar in public though - the cardboard guitars at show thing seems to have been an exclusively British custom.
