They’re not really Metal. The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Rolling Stones aren’t metal bands. They’re Rock N Roll. [/quote]
You cannot seriously be comparing The Who & Stones with Zeppelin…???
Zeppelin were “the first” heavy metal band.

No, they weren’t. First Metal band would be Black Sabbath or Judas Priest, but even they didn’t consider themselves metal at first. They were just regular Rock N Rollers.
And yes, I am comparing Zeppelin to the Who and the Stones. Because they are Rock N Roll acts that have transcended their genre and have become musical Icons.

I think that’s a little too much for this crowd… lots of numetal, hard/deathcore and pop metal in this thread lol. Nice to see Mastadon, Gojira and Amon Amarth though.
I set PRs with Anaal Nathrakh and Berzerker. Relax with Windir, Livsnekad, Rompeprop, and Gorelord.
In order:
Ooo, can’t forget nile:

"Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music[1] that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United States.[2] With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness. Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are generally associated with masculinity and machismo.[3]
The first heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple attracted large audiences, though they were often critically reviled, a status common throughout the history of the genre. In the mid-1970s Judas Priest helped spur the genre’s evolution by discarding much of its blues influence; Motörhead introduced a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed. Bands in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal such as Iron Maiden followed in a similar vein. Before the end of the decade, heavy metal had attracted a worldwide following of fans known as “metalheads” or “headbangers”."

And the 2nd and 3rd names mentioned?
Only Black Sabbath embraced the idea of being metal, but even then, they still had Bluesy sounds in their music. The first to be full on, hardcore metal would be Judas Priest.
Immolation
led zeppelin = folk rock

Not that I condone using wikipedia as a reference for something as subjective as a music discussion, but I agree about Zeppelin being a metal band.
They share too many aesthetic similarities to other metal bands of their time, lyrically and musically. Yes, there are differences, and Zeppelin’s influence seemed to be stronger in bands that didn’t fall under the metal bracket, but that doesn’t change much.
Not to mention Zeppelin have more in common with Black Sabbath and other metal bands than they do with specifically the Rolling Stones and the Who.
All of this said, I can understand why they aren’t put into a discussion with other metal bands.

Sepultura -Bestial Devastation/Morbid Vivions through Arise before they became a rap metal band.[/quote]
Rap metal? are you on drugs.Sepultura did a song on roots with Jonathan Davis that was far from rap metal.Soulfly did a song with Fred Durst that was for from rap metal.You my friend are high, I am as big a sepultura fan as possible and couldnt disagree with you more.If you like Morbid visions and Bestial devastation more then blood rooted, roots and chaos A.D. then I guestion your abbility to judge.
Also I strongly hope you would agree that the version of Troops of Doom on Under Pale Grey Sky blows the older versions away.
How could this thread have gone this far with no one mentioning Decapitated or Hate Eternal

Finally.
I imagine this will spark some debate because Dimmu is black metal.But they shred, I have seen these guys live, the bass player has some fucking pipes.
