Most influential metal bands - my opinion
Hi again!
Today I will present a list of most influential bands in Heavy Metal genre .
First :
Band from Birmingham , England formed 1968 aka Polka Tulk Blues Band and later renamed Earth was the first of their kind haha .
Practically they are pioneers of metal . Word " heavy " has source . hippies use that word for describing something as great or above expectation . So that is how metal got name :D !!
After Ozzy left Dio came in and god dammit history was created .
Second :
English heavy metal band formed in West Bromwich in 1969. Innovative and pioneering band - aka "Gods of Metal " .
Halford's operatic vocal and the twin guitar sound of Downing and Tipton have been a major influence on metal and have been adopted by many bands. Rob Halford went to sex shop and bought some leather and rivets :D rest is history .
Third :
English rock band formed in June 1975 by bassist, singer, and songwriter Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister .
" Godfathers " of metal .
Their fusion of punk rock into the Heavy Metal helped to pioneer speed metal and thrash metal.
Fourth :
Yeah first of the greatest Trash Metal bands , formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, California , one of the " Big Four " inspired by Motly Crue , Mercyful fate , Misfits , Venom , Motorhead ... but they have had big influence on others too .
Korn , Godsmack ,Machine Head , Trivium , Adema ... Metallica was known for wearing other bands t-shirts , badges and stickers on their guitarrs . Great impact on metal .
Fifth :
First one that opened gate of hell :D haha .
Venom's second album proved influential enough that its title was used as the name of an
extreme metal subgenre: Black Metal.
Since the beginning of their career, Venom have often used 'Satanic' lyrics and imagery.
However, the band were not Satanists, and such references were mostly for shock value .
Extreme fu#kers :D
Sixth :
My favorite .
Man who got bigger then life
Charles Michael "Chuck" Schuldiner 1967 – 2001 RIP .
Death is considered to be among the most influential bands in heavy metal and a pioneering force in the metal subgenre death metal.
Excellent list (although I have to admit, I've never listened to Death, on my to do list today)
I find it quite interesting that a lot of younger metal fans today don't really recognize these bands as heavy metal any more and put them into the hard rock category.
Great to see them get the recognition they deserve as the pioneers of metal \m/
Death is heavy if I may say . But most of their songs are a comprehensive study and an in-depth analysis on human interaction and social behavior . You can check my No.2 post on steemit i wrote abouth Living Monstrosity song .
And yeah thank you for reading post :D
