@commandhtf oh btw blue cheer didnt write the song, Mose Allison wrote it. They just did a heavier rugged cover of the original song.

Sorry, just being honest.

The endless debate about who invented heavy metal will never be solved, but remember this: Blue Cheer came along in 1966, 3 years before Black Sabbath blipped onto the map. The Cheer invented heavy metal, Sabbath made it a genre!

MC5 were ripping it up in early 68.

These guys defined heavy metal along with Black Sabbath if you don't think so up yours.

Saw them "Live" at New City Opera House in Minneapolis when Summer time Blues was on the Radio...drummer was this little guy with a pigeon chest who played like an animal, they had custom speaker enclosures with 4-15" JBL's in each one....rocked the joint...! saw Cream there also....

Wow, amazing!!



If you're saying this isn't heavy metal, then you are expressing an opinion. Bach didn't call his music Baroque, but it is commonly agreed now that his music fit stylistically within the period that was later termed Baroque.
Yes, this is acid rock, but stylistically, Blue Cheer (and acid rock in general) fits into a continuum in which heavy metal is included.You can argue where the line can be drawn, but it has nothing to do with whether or not the term 'heavy metal' existed.
