Get those people out of your life. Now.
I personally do not think Zeppelin is metal and lots do...like yeah I get it, but Black Sabbaths first album came out 13 months later. Thats when the clock ticks for me, but hey, arguing about metal subgenres is bad enough.

Re: Who says a Tele cannot rock?
The earliest metal-sounding band I ever heard was Mountain.
The first band I ever heard labelled 'Heavy Metal' was Led Zeppelin, but this was in Rolling Stone magazine and after they had already been playing for almost 5-10 years - so I found that perplexing to retroactively call them something when they already had been known as a heavy blues band with some acoustic folk and variety mixed in, up to that point.
In my mind, the muted-string chugging of chords is what I first associated as metal or heavy metal. Early examples were Scorpions and Sabbath. But I have no idea who was really first.
It didn't just suddenly happen where one day someone invented metal, though. Completely non-metal/rock acts had hints of that sound coming over the years - like Mick Ronson on Suffragette City with David Bowie had that heavy distorted Marshall chugging. Before that Velvet Underground had a taste of that heavy chugging on some songs as well.

And don't forget: Barry Whitman of Herman's Hermits played blast beats on their 1966 hit, "Mrs. Brown, Are You Quite Sure You Haven't Got a Sister?"
