@HYPERZEPHARIAN Also, they just broke up, but Purple Rhinestone Eagle are/ were my fave local metal band.

@deekante Agree! Floored me first time i heard them...

Nowadays it's all more technical and less psychedelic. Of course it also was something new. It wasn't called heavy metal but hard rock or underground. I don't think heavy metal was such a big revolution as underground or hard rock.

Don't forget Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats. They sound a lot like Blue Cheer or Black Sabbath.

@deekante Don't stereotype metal by its shitty nu-metal offsprings. Here are some amazing 70's inspired bands: Red Fang, The Sword, Queens of the Stone Age, Sleep, Fu Manchu, Kyuss, Monstr0, Electric Wizard, Slo Burn, 40 Watt Sun, and Sunn 0))). (Just to name the cream of the crop)
They're different, but they all came from a 70's background and ran with it in their own, kickass direction. Don't say metal nowadays sucks if you've only seen the bad side :D

Paul Whaley was such a BAD ASS on those skins!

@94ddare Yup, another thing they did was exploit the hippy stereotype, and made it sound good. They wore "elephant" bellbottoms, grew their hair extremely long for the time, screamed into the mike, and deliberately played off-key as loud as possible, e.g. the dischordant lead in "Out of Focus." I thought they were making fun of their critics, while still sounding really good.
I wish metal was still like this,like loud,crazy blues. Now it's just a bunch of douchebags screaming at a microphone.
