Geoff Robinson signs off Morning Report

[HenryDorsetCase]

Black Sabbath first HM band.....
The Beatles Helter Skelter is more HM that boring old Paranoid.
Led Zep are just a rip off covers band, who stole blues songs.
Stairway to Heaven- ripped off Taurus by Spirit

I saw Motorhead at the Hammersmith Odeon once, my ears nearly bled. They were more Spinal Tap than metal.

Leaving aside the fairly obvious trolling going on here, dismissing Led Zeppelin as a "rip off covers band" is just wrong. By that measure, so are the Rolling Stones.

Guilty as charged, have a listen to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiiY4ciKFQA
Some of LZ's songs are nigh on word for word of the originals.
The Stones, for sure, and repackaged it for honkies.
Anyhows this is more of trolling that motorcycle site anyway

also, we need more proto-metal:

Nice. I have a pristine LP of Iron Butterfly not 5 metres from this very spot.

So while we are delightfully OT just a quick mention for Blodwyn Pig and Ten Years After. Not quite heavy metal but they laid the heavy rock foundations.

And then there is Budgie, born in Wales in 1967 and regarded as the first heavy metal band.




All of which were eclipsed in 1969 by Earth....

Love how the morning report has turned into an "origins of heavy metal" thread!

Only on KB.

...we had our well water tested some years back...no heavy metals or significant microbial dangers were found...

[Brian d marge]

as an aside, i must add that sean plunkett gets on my fucken tits, as does mary wilson...a pathetic whingeing/hounding/accusing style of interviewing.
i will however, continue to listen

Mary Fkin Wilson that skanky lesbian can fk right off
THE WORST Person for that job
insert pages of venom and scorn

Thread hijacking is so much more fun than trolling ..

Thread hijacking is so much more fun than trolling ..

...almost as much as the 'hijacking' thread

[TheDemonLord]

the best hijacks start off related to the thread and from there get further and further off topic

In related to the Hijack:

...what has that got to do with Geoff 'Heavy Metal' Robinson and the Olsen twins...

[rustyrobot]

So you're a big fan of Nickelback and Creed? ;-) (actually just getting on topic for a bit, because I don't know anything about commercial radio, I can confidently say while I have heard OF those bands (always in a negative context), I have never listened to them.)

My dad read something in the readers digest back in the day that said heavy metal was bad, and that Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath were heavy metal and satanists and did I want to be a satanist because of listening obsessively to those bands when I was 12. I was clearly already a satanist by that point so the music didnt really matter.

Were known as HEAVY ROCKERS - not metallickers..

But why not make 10 louder and then make 10 the loudest?
