Re: who invented heavy metal
You know a lot of people don’t know this but it was actually invited by Nikolai Tesla & then subsequently stolen by the CIA upon his death....
Personally I think he was channeling aliens & the ghost of Gorge Washington at the time he did this but nobody knows for sure & it’s a topic of great debate. Mostly because it’s also possible that he could have been talking to the devil & channeling the ghost of Marry Queen Of Scott’s instead???

Re: who invented heavy metal
I've always figured it was mostly Led Zeppelin. The Immigrant Song, Kashmir, Heartbreaker, When the Levee Breaks, Black Dog, Communications Breakdown . . . these all kinda paved the way for metal to come. Dark sounding, intricate guitar playing, heavy riffing.

More proof for Blue Cheer. Please note that Clapton even said Blue Cheer was the first metal band. Think he would know?

Re: who invented heavy metal
The lyrics are not specific...but it is generally accepted that "heavy metal thunder" is referring to the sound of an American motorcycle. Mars Bonfire has stated that he was inspired to write the song by a motorcycle poster that he saw that said "Born To Ride" on it.
Steppenwolf was not a heavy metal band, though they certainly had some proto-metal elements. As you said, the lyrics do not refer to music in any way. They're talking about Harleys, basically.

Re: who invented heavy metal
Quit being such an uppity fck and maybe use your enormous brain to think of another interpretation for my post. Which songs specifically do you think are metal? Cuz it sounds pre proto metal to me.

Re: who invented heavy metal
I know who Blue Cheer is, and I know they covered "Summertime Blues."
I'm turning 40 in a few months, and I only know who they are because when I was growing up, my dad used them as a benchmark for bands that played too loud or "used too much distortion" to crap on whatever I was listening to.
