Rock’n’Roll used to be the gnarliest heaviest genre in town. A genre that embodied rebellion, fast cars and the loudest guitars that late 1950s music had to offer. But as the 60s wore on, coffee and minor rebellion seemed positively childish, popular music needed something harder, and more in-sync with the sex and drugs part of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. Enter Psychedelic rock, similar to good ol’ Rock’N’Roll but with mind-expanding themes and an intense interest in a girl called Lucy, who was in the Sky with Diamonds. If you know what I mean. But the Summer of Love came and went, the Vietnam war didn’t end despite Hippie opposition and the tragic events of Altamount and the Manson murders made it so that the positivity of the movement seemed blind. A darker sound was needed, and appeared in the form of Metal. The bastard child of rock’n’roll and Psychedelic Rock, Metal was harder, heavier and louder than anything before and became one of the most important genres of all time. But how did we get there? Going via Eddie Cochran, "Misirlou" by Dick Dale "You're Gonna Miss Me" by The 13th Floor Elevators, through "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix, "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream, "Summertime Blues" by Blue Cheer, "Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly, "Helter Skelter" by the Beatles and "21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson? Not to mention "Wicked Woman" by Coven, "Dazed and Confused" by Led Zeppelin And how did we get from Chuck Berry's “Johnny B. Goode” to “Black Sabbath” by Black Sabbath in twelve years? This is How Psychedelic Rock Became Metal.

As for who is keeping metal alive today, I honestly do not know - but then I am old, fat and jaded. Sorry.
Gojira, YOB, Tool, and the new wave bands like Code Orange Knocked Lose Vein etc
it`s Code Orange for me
I've always thought that Black Sabbath's having their first song named Black Sabbath in their first album also named Black Sabbath was one of the most badass things in all of music.
Bad Company 'Bad Company' too 1974
Fun fact: the song name came first, then the band name, then the album name
King Crimson also did it
Except that Coven's album Witchcraft had the same name for their first track (Black Sabbath) three years earlier...
@@godisdeadandwememedhim4174
Crimson were surely first to do a lot of shit, but not this.
Their first track on In the Court is 21st, while the eponimous song is the closing one.
Nevertheless they were inovative af, both prog and math rock exist thanks to King Crimson.
Just realized you posted this on the 50th anniversary of black sabbath's self titled.
I think that was the point
@@wesleyzimmerman94 I'm aware that's probably the point. I just wanted to get youtube points for pointing it out.
finally changed my profile pic your honesty is appreciated and you deserve all the youtube points!
finally changed my profile pic literally the birthday of metal
@@cyclone927 You'd have got more points if you'd used the word eponymous.
Everyone mentions "Helter Skelter", and rightfully so, but what often goes unmentioned is "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". I'm sure that was a huge influence on many metal musicians.
Bro, I Want You should've got their own segment on the video, it was heavy as rocks in 69, and it still is heavy today.
I agree. 👍👍
Honestly, I felt like he missed out on mentioning the Monkees "(I'm not your) steppin' stone"
Imo, it's also very important to the heavy sound coming out at the time.
Considering Coroner did a cover version you'd have to say yes...
Maybe just as much early prog as early metal imo.
The best part of this whole thing is the concept of interpretation. The British bands were trying to recreate American blues. Jimi Hendrix brought them his perception of jazz. Everything inspires and informs everything else. It's sort of a beautiful mess. Watching this video is such pleasure.
Well said.
Well said hendrix inspired many but those who inspired him are truly the greatest
@@Vandalio_Saez , indeed. Buddy Guy is a good example. He did not get a single mention in this video, but I'd like to think his contribution to guitar solos fars outweighs anything that came from Chuck Berry.
"From Johnny B. Goode to Black Sabbath in 12 years." -- Truly an amazing fact.
I never stopped to think about the fact that all of that musical change happened in such a short time.. From the sound of it, you would think there had been 30 years or more between the rock of the late 50s and rock of the early 70s; crazy!
Talking about quantum leaps: it took The Beatles only four years from "Love Me Do" to "Tomorrow Never Knows." This always blows my mind...
Blew me away when I learned The Beatles only lasted 8 years. What a progression across the globe in a decade
I've had a couple of beers so now I'd like to add some drunken perspective on Roger. He spat on himself really. So some peanut was disrupting a show.. Shit does happen when you expose yourself to it. Roger had a mindset that was celebrated in Have a Cigar. Unfortunately he manifested it
Daniel Reyes actually the rock n roll sound started in 49’ 50’ by black amateur musicians. Before little Richard there was guitar slim (czcams.com/video/fj33EGMbazY/video.html)
A small flamboyant black man that wore a cape and drove a bright red Cadillac and dated white women.
Also Howlin wolf who was more blues but the rock beat was there (back door man)
@@rossconroy1674 what
A lot of these “proto-metal” songs could also be classified as “proto-punk” songs too. Interesting how all rock music is related in some way.
I tend to feel Helter Skelter as much more proto-punk, given it's raw garage band production and it's rock 'n roll type riffs and energy. Also the emphasis on treble notes over bass. It's certainly on the other end of the spectrum to early Black Sabbath.
I guess it's the origins of 'extreme' (rock) music
The Ramones always cited "Communication Breakdown" as the inspiration for all their writing. They wanted their songs to be short, fast, and loud.
@@jamstonjulian6947 I agree, Im into garage punk and it is very similar.
The connections throughout music from the beginning of recorded time until now are so boundless and intricate I can't even think of a good analogy. Neither trees or webs have the sufficient amount of overlap.
Its crazy how little you hear about the yardbirds given how blessed with guitarist talent they were.
The first super group perhaps.
An important distinction to make with Black Sabbath is that, as dark as their melodies are, the lyrics do not invoke or embrace the darkness but, rather, are adversarial to it. War pigs are not idolized, they are decried. Mr. Crowley is not admired, but questioned. All in all, the lyrics convey rather uniformly wholesome messages. This is why it was quite silly for parents to denounce their music as "satanic" and why, I believe, Ozzy cries out "You gotta listen to my words!" in "Crazy Train." usually this tensive opposition is the other way around; peppy songs with twisted lyrics, like "Hey Ya" by Outkast or "Every Move You Make" by The Police" or "2000 Miles" by The Pretenders. Then you've got Black Sabbath who sang hopeful, uplifting lyrics to profoundly dread-filling melodies.
My mom heard the lyrics to Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb, and asked if it was about drug use. I said yes, and she voiced her disapproval.
I said, "Does it sound like it encourages you to shoot up, mom"?
She, of course, said no.
You gotta put up with a lot if you like the stuff that isn't Top 40....
@@painkillerjones6232 comforatbly numb isnt about drugs lmao
What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh nooo!
Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me!
Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
People running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware!
No, no, please, no!
Yes, that's hopeful and uplifting.
Ozzy was a bit of a jesus freak. But he didn't write all the lyrics. Add to that Mr Crowley wasn't a Sabbath song. Neither was crazy train.
NIB is iterally a song about falling in love with the devil.
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
You've seen right through distorted eyes
You know you had to learn
The execution of your mind
You really had to turn
The race is run, the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies
The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see again
The light of day
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies
You bastards
Where can you run to?
What more can you do?
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to hell
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell, yeah
Cheerful stuff.... Sigh....
While you do in certain respects make a valid point, OZ songs are not indicative of Black Sabbath's music, as in some ways Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, does point out why people are "dark" in the first place, with lyrics like "Nobody will every let you know, when you ask the reasons why, they will just tell you, that you're on your own, fill your head all full of lies!" And even in the song Die Young this is true, which was sang on Heaven And Hell, with Ronnie James Dio as lead singer! Also that same band did the song Country Girl, claiming "She was up from another world, just to take another soul" again Ronnie James Dio's vocals on the Mob Rules album!! So there are "DARK undertones" in some of their songs!! As well as the later song Trashed (singer Ian Gillian), by Black Sabbath! And besides Ozzy as a solo artist IS NOT tied to Black Sabbath after he left the band!!! Even the darkness of the song Sweet Leaf talks about being alone and in a "dark place" when he (Ozzy) found "sweet leaf"!! So not all Black Sabbath songs are completely "hopeful" either!!! And I have been listening to Black Sabbath since 1976!!!
natfoote: yes, as in After Forever:
Have you ever thought about your soul
Can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think
That when you are dead
You just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head
Or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name
That you read in the book
When you were in school?
When you think about death
Do you lose your breath
Or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the pope
On the end of a rope?
Do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth
Yes, I've seen the light
And I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared
When you're lonely and scared
At the end of our days
Could it be you're afraid
Of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realise before they criticise
That God is the only way to love
Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say that you may as well worship the sun?
I think it was true it was people like you
That crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had
Was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure
When your day is near
Say you don't believe
You had the chance
But you turned it down
Now you can't retrieve
Perhaps you'll think before you say
God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realise
That He is the one
The only one who can save you now
From all this sin and hate
Or will you jeer at all you hear?
Yes, I think it's too late

@@greystoke2229 Stroll on is such a great song
If there's one thing I know about music, it's that you can't talk about the origins of Metal without mentioning Hendrix.
True that
Particularly in regards to the metal approach to solos.
Tt6 totally
i'm surprised that he didn't mentioned "Voodoo Child" in 68
Ironic cuz you only hear from metalheads that Hendrix is overrated...
I feel an inherent need to speak up about the beginning remark on Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Bill Haley and the Comments, Bo Diddley being the start of guitar-based rock and roll. I think that credit goes to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who was the first to really put distorted guitar into recordings. Perhaps she was closer to jazz, big bands, and gospel, but I don't think those guys would've come to be without her, and that was between the 30s and 40s.
Agreed
Bro I can’t believe she’s in the Elvis movie
This is true, but whether or not Chuck Berry was the first to do that style, he was the first to do his songs, and there is no denying that Chuck's major hits are still interesting songs TODAY. Back then, they were groundbreaking. Just about every rock band of the 60s credits Berry as being the man because he was. Plus he lived long enough to do lots of performances with the famous musicians of that era.
I was going to say exactly that. Also Big Mama Thornton and a couple of other guitar playing ladies.
@@foto21 True but... Chuck Berry explicitly said he ripped off "his" guitar style from Tharpe and Goree Carter!
The 1st r'n'r songs (with very rare exceptions) date back to 1948-49 (originating from jump blues / rhythm'n'jazz, a style of jazz, NOT from country at all), but Rosetta Tharpe did the same starting from gospel and early r&b... and she recorded it in 1938-39, 10 years earlier!
There’s definitely a line in music- before Hendrix and after. He not only had a Avantgarde style of playing but he also pioneered the use of guitar pedals, fuzz and wah existed before Hendrix landed in London, but what he did was add them together, with Octavia ( created by Roger Mayer ) and the uni-vibe, he was a master of feedback too. Jimi’s Machine Gun @ Filllmore east on New Year’s Eve 69/70 from Band of Gypsies album is beyond guitar playing, it’s bombs going off, napalm fire, souls crying out, jet fighter planes flying low above, and a virtuoso demonstration of connecting to a higher energy. Pre bands like Meshuggah et el, Hendrix tore through distortion and sonic soundscapes like no other…he still inspires to this day and beyond….may he rest in peace…and let’s not forget, he did it all in 4 short years.
Being a metalhead most of my life, I always loved Hendrix.
The 1st chords of Purple Haze spawned many a metal guitarist
before metal was even -coined ;)
Me too . . . Gotta love a bit of Jimi
I just came back todayyyy I just cane back from the stormmmm
The effects on "Are you experienced?" (The song, I mean the album is also phenomenal) but that song and all the effects in it are like taking a music note and melting it.. I think THAT is where metal comes from.
Jimi WAS Metal imo.
These are the kind of chapters we need in school History books
Yeah. Where was musical history when I was I kid? All we studied was boring war stuff. I was having none of it. Only learned it just enough to pass. Gladly forgetting it after the test.
Amen to that😓
Hosa behh!!
No sounds like useless knowledge to me
Use this to negate the system not normalize it
You forgot to start with the man that started it all; Johnny Guitar Watson. He released “Space Guitar” in 1952 and it was, in my own opinion, the most advanced playing at that time. I believe Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix took huge inspiration from that man.
He died on stage circa 1990. R.I.P to all the great musicians.
The song is sick bro 👌
He died in 1996
and he used the guitar voice box long before Peter Framton did. 1954 to be exact.
Now, things like this are why I come to the comments.
I got a song to listen to on repeat for awhile, thanks!
I find it interesting how music can define an era, not only in the sense that metal and rock became popular during waring times, but it also defines the technology like how in the early 2000s auto tune made pop easier and somewhat more popular than before.
I always admired that about McCartney. Yes, he wrote BOTH the sappiest romantic ballad AND the heaviest, most sinister rock riff of the 1960s. Musicians in the '60s truly had balls and showed NO fear in turning it up past 11.
Imagine Beyonce or Taylor Swift trying to sing a metal song, rapping, or even pop punk type stuff like Hayley Williams.
They can't, they produce essentially the same music over and over again for decades. Not saying its bad music, but its stagnant now.
In the form of Helter Skelter, that is.

The feelings I get listening to sabbath is matched by None technicality doesn't mean better and that's coming from a thrash metal fan
What about Dear Mr Fantasy by Traffic? Is no one else impressed by how heavy and complex the guitar solos are for 1967?? That song absolutely rocks. Also heavy : The Nile Song, Pink Floyd.
I still remember learning Black Sabbath’s ending riff section as a 13 year old guitarist. I still play it today, as it’s a wonderful warm up exercise, and hold up as an amazing riff....
@Ronald Williams the end riff- “satan’s coming round the bend…”
@Ronald Williams i learned it around 1980- i picked up the guitar at ten, but it wasn’t til i was 13 i got serious….i remember when i actually figured the riff out; i still use it from time to time as a warm up exercise!
@@allendean9807 still have trouble with that one!
I warmup with Megadeth's Take no prisoners intro on repeat, jumping right into it!
"Some guy.. called Jimmy Page"
That really cracked me up hahahhaha
Reminds me of a story my music theory professor told the class about Beethoven if I recall correctly. But it was in his early years and a church wanted his teacher to be in charge of their music. His teacher already took the job from another church and he sent them Beethoven instead. The church sent them a letter of complaint about how they wanted his teacher, how upset and angry they were for not giving them his teacher. They ended the letter with "We had to settle for Beethoven." LOL imagine saying you settled with the legendary Beethoven! 😂
@@brainrich1358 plot twist: it was the dog from that movie
"Jimmy Page of course had introduced Jeff Beck to the Yardbirds. He himself had passed on the Yardbird’s offer of the lead guitar role. And then proceeded to point them to Jeff. This was when Eric Clapton decided it was time to move on in early 1965. Page was content at that time to continue on as a session guitarist.
If you go back to “Heart Full of Soul”, which was recorded right after Beck joined the Yardbirds in April 1965. It was he who made that song work. Before he arrived in the studio that day, the band had been trying to incorporate an actual sitar into the intro of the song. The sitar player they had brought in, however, was just not up to the 4/ 4 time. It was not his thing. Jeff observed this and disappeared again.
Apparently, he went and borrowed his buddy’s, Jimmy Page’s, new fuzz box. Page was in an adjacent studio working on another project. With a little work Jeff came back with something of a sitar sound that worked nicely. It is a sound we still appreciate today.
It turns that he and Page had previously listened to Ravi Shankar albums together, pondering how to get that sound with a guitar. That listening session, whenever that was, apparently had made an impression on Jeff Beck. With it, along with Page’s new fuzz box, the challenge of that recording session complete with sitar player trying to figure out a 4 / 4 time signature basically resulted in the “Heart Full of Soul” we know today, complete with Beck’s take on the Sitar at the start of the tune.
Becks’s Bolero was ultimately released as a B side to Jeff Beck’s first solo single, “Hi Ho Silver Lining”. That was released in 1968, after the Yardbirds. It was in fact recorded, however, in early 1966 when Beck was still a member of the Yardbirds. Management of the Yardbirds, concerned about the longevity of the band, encouraged Beck and others to explore solo projects. Beck’s Bolero was the result of one such session.
Ideally it would be a side project, a way to diffuse and to distract. That was the intent of management. It was seen as a distraction for Beck who despite the success of the band and his career, was not happy with constant touring and the focus on pop music. The musicians on Beck's Bolero were Jeff Beck on guitar; Jimmy Page on guitar; John Paul Jones on bass (who was another session musician at the time); Nicky Hopkins, a Royal Academy of Music graduate, and who would go on to play and tour with the Jeff Beck Group in 1968, on piano; and, lastly, there was Keith Moon on drums. Jimmy Page composed much of Beck's Bolero.
Keith Moon’s comment at the end of that session has become legend. Prophetic. His response to the suggestion that this crew go out and play shows, he surmised would go over like a lead zeppelin."
Wow. Every heavy 60s band and song that is mentioned or listed in this video, was my main choice of music growing up. My dad introduced me to all these bands. He was 20 in 1970, so heavy rock from that time is his favorite music. I have memories of hearing "Made in Japan" by Deep Purple in kindergarten, along with "Dark Side", "The Wall", all of Hendrix's albums, Vanilla Fudge, Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, Grand Funk red album, and so so many more. Once I heard Cream play Crossroads and Spoonful live on the Wheels of Fire album my life changed. It was my equivalent to watching the Beatles on Sullivan for the first time and realizing you wanna make and play music for the rest of your life. I was 14 then, I'm 31 now and I still play bass, just getting back home from a rehearsal actually lol.
I guess what I'm trying to say is great video and thank you for making it, I am very grateful that this is the music that was accessible to me in high school and it changed my life, oh, and thank you for reading this far. I bet your kinda guy that reads every liner note on an album sleeve.... it's ok, I am too lmao
Good intro. It should be remembered that at the time there was no distinction between what came to be called metal and what came to be called punk. The Stooges, The MC5 and in England the Pink Fairies and Hawkwind were all there making music louder and heavier.
You're talking about glam, which basically branched into metal and punk.

Often overlooked is Bowie’s 1970 doom-laden “Man Who Sold the World” album. “She Shook Me Cold” with Mick Ronson on guitar is metal.
Iommie is the original metal guitarist
Mick Ronson is generally overlooked - not only as a guitarist, but as one of the key components of Bowie's success (along with Tony Visconti).

I bought the very first Black Sabbath album "Black Sabbath" in early 1970. I opened it, put the needle on and the very first song called "Black Sabbath" began playing. The sound of rain falling. The sound of a church bell ringing. And then ear-splitting tritone chords and notes vibrated my mind and soul and I found myself still sitting on the edge of my bed, but now dressed in black with long, black, dirty hair, and a lit joint hanging from my lips. Looking down at my basketball, I realized I would never touch it again. My life was forever changed.
Then I head Free Bird a few years later and my life forever changed. Finally a soaring guitar solo that was able to force radio stations to play LONG SONGS - especially ones where the guitar was finally set free to truly fly - ESPECIALLY on the radio airwaves. Then came Green Grass and High Tides, and Highway Song.
A note about Dick Dale's Misirlou. Wrongfully stated at 05:33 as an _"old Middle Eastern folk song"._ Although its name derives from an Arabic word, the song was first played by a "Rebetika" band (Rebetika it's a Greek genre) by Michael Patrinos, in Athens, Greece, in 1927.
As a 40 year old metalhead and musician I must say the true metal sound started with sabbath.👹

Great piece. Loved hearing the roots of each bands psychadellic work and how it inspired sort of a dark version of itself.
I'm addicted to your videos. So much to learn. You go deep and you don't provide thoughtless rhetoric. So much of what you stated is often what I already suspected, but includes so much more. I was a teenager growing up and listening to MUSIC during the rise of Metal and all of its tributaries.
This is all high praise from me.
Black Sabbath named themselves after a horror movie and made music that would be at home in one. People were still singing about sunshine and rainbows when those first doom-laden chords were unleashed. It was a hurricane of fresh air.
That is not true it's utter garbage, like everything in the late sixties sounded like Donovan Actually there was a lot of dark stuff around in the late sixties even top 40 stuff The Stones, The Doors, The Valvet Undergound. hell even the Beatles were writing some pretty dark stuff in the late sixties.The Stones had already done the Satanic thing before Sabbath were even called Black Sabbath.
Ozzie once said "We were a hippie band. War Pigs was an anti-war anthem!"
I think the horror movie was called 'Black Sunday' It's a good movie of that genre, very creepy. I have a French copy on DVD, 'Le Masque du Demon'. I think it was by Mario Bava. You would have to ask the former members of Black Sabbath If I am correct.
@@stevehead365 that old black and white movie was creepy AF! Especially for the time. I haven't seen that flick since I was a kid in the 60s/early 70s. I recall that scene where the horse-and-buggy was found going down that creepy road in the dark.......weren't there dead bodies in the trees?!?! Man, I'm gonna have nightmares!
I love the early Sabbath, but I have to chime in every time I see a comment like this. Sir Lord Baltimore came out with their first LP "Kingdom Come" at the same time as Sabbath. SLB had the ominous dark heavy songs like Sabbath, but SLB also had some very fast paced songs which were almost unheard of at the time. Sabbath didn't really breach that territory on their earliest LPs. It's all good though.
You forgot Sister Rosetta Tharpe. The Godmother of Rock and Roll. She was the first. Foundational
It's a good thing the sister isn't around to read this comment. Her music spawned Black Sabbath?
@@Birdlives247 Her art inspired almost everything in art after her. She would feel honored I'm sure
@@nangwaya4186 I'll agree that she was great. I especially love her Decca 78 of "Nobody's Fault But Mine". I had found several 78s by Rosetta before I was told that she was playing the guitar. I couldn't believe it.
Berry himself admitted he was cribbing Sister Rosetta.
Thank you! I'm glad at least the commenters remembered her.
Well done, been fan and geek scholar of rock since I was a teenager and knew a video like this would be made someday once I saw CZcams and im so glad this is it.
Once people can see the historic context and the connective musical tissue that connects the dots of influence and history it emboldens the life and power that art and music will have on those who give themselves the pleasure to experience it in all its treasured majesty-that’s not hyperbolic either, music can save your life.
I’m surprised with Pink Floyd you didn’t mention the Nile Song. I think it’s way more heavy metal than Carful with the Axe Eugene.
Yeah they always seem to miss someone!
Personally, I feel like Hendrix was enormously influential in the creation of "the drop" in music like metal and EDM.
For instance, look at "Foxey Lady" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" where it starts out slow, quiet, and trippy....then goes full-bore all of a sudden. Mitch Mitchell deserves lots of credit for that, too!
The Who did similar things, but for me it was always Hendrix who made my head snap forward when the main riff came in....a proto-headbang if you will ;-)
preach
With all respect to PT, the Who really did not have the lead guitarist chops to pull it off. The PT led Oo took its music in another, no less astonishing, direction.
The space between the notes matter as much as the notes you play.
It’s honestly criminal how underrated Mitch Mitchell was in helping Jimi Hendrix’s sound
Some of these were steps, some were a leap. Hendrix was definitely one of the latter.
This is one of the best rock documentaries I have ever seen in my life, and by the looks of it one single person made it, presumably at home in a tiny office or bedroom. That is just unbelievably bad-ass when you think about!
On a sidenote, I've never heard of Jake Holmes before, but judging by that soundbyte, Led Zeppelin's song isn't "inspired" by it: it's the exact same song.

I think you will find that a LOT in Led Zepplin.
Yeah but Page didn´t credit him
Jimmy...likes to borrow...
This is the tip of the iceberg with Trash Theory. The careful thought and depth of musical knowledge that goes into all of these videos is astounding. I cared nothing and knew nothing about Goth Rock and yet watched the entire video just on the quality of the presentation. Trash Theory taught me things about my favorite genres I could never have learned on my own, and got into tracks and bands I never thought of.
yes, Led Zepellin STOLE from a lot of people
Bowie with his proto metal album ' The Man who Sold The World ' really contributed to metal as well.
The saxophone is still making appearances in metal. The Rivers of Nihil album Where the Owls know my name really brought it back.

It's so funny to learn what kind of music was consisered heavy way back in the day. Makes you wonder how those people would react to hearing modern death metal or djent. Meshuggah or Vildhjarta would probably give the people of the sixties a fucking stroke
It would make them laugh and dismiss it as shit. Like I do

Neither of those bands are really heavy, and if you mean the late sixties, I think there was enough popular musical experimentation going on at the time for them to sound relatively normal.
Love how you showed the connections to all the innovators. Especially as you superimposed 1 line of lyrics with the next from the inspired band. Time to binge your content.
As a literal child of the 60s, I can remember each new Beatles single
hit that came out on the radio. Then Revolution came out, and it was
the heaviest most distorted sound I'd ever heard to that point. Shortly
after the White album came out, with Helter Skelter among many other
hard rockers. Once again the Beatles showed they could do whatever
was going on as well as anybody.
I always thought "I Want You'' was heavy.
We all gotta thank that CalvinKlein dude for Jhonny B. Goode
I heard there was someone who looks just like him
I think psychedelia is THE epitome of music... it meshes all forms of music together into multi-million layers that put you into a haze of intoxication.... so beautiful
For real!! That’s why there’s no defining “psychedelic” sound, it’s everything!
@@cars.796 I wanna hear psychedelic classic
I was a little young (but just old enough to remember it - and already collecting music) in the mid to late 60s. What an era of music! Friends and neighbors everywhere were playing live music and the creativity was off the charts. FM and "free form" radio were taking off. Peace/love/drugs had a head on collision with war/riots/civil upheaval and created the perfect breeding ground for the psychedelic scene.
@@Gobberfisch Fever Tree was a California band that I don't believe was mentioned in this video. Captain Beefhart, too. Some of the local/garage bands in the mid-60s were awesome. I have a compilation LP of garage bands in the Houston, Texas area called "Houston Hallucinations". I'm not sure how rare that one is.
@@cars.796 progressive rock is arguably what psychedelic rock evolved into.
Fantastic video. Love how to clearly lay out the timeline. Made it so much fun to follow along. And overall, great production. Definitely subscribing.
I would wager that Fresh Cream is the first (nearly) fully formed metal album. In particular, tracks like Cat’s Squirrel and Toad, and the solos on I’m So Glad and I Feel Free very much opened the door to what metal would become.
Magic in the Air by The Attack is also is a great piece of rock history, that is equal parts proto-metal and proto-punk
That's a good album but I really wouldn't consider that to be heavy metal that's more like psychedelic heavy Rock and I like Cream don't get me wrong
Why were The Doors not mentioned at all? They were ahead of their time in 1967.
Probably cause doors is almost straight up blues
@@meneses297 yes but it was "heavy blues" if that makes sense. Black Sabbath's music comes from that type of blues.
they were the banner of psychodelic .
mazi mazari I mean there were plenty of other bands doing psychedelic rock, I don’t really see what makes the doors the “banner”
Because the documentarian has good taste, lol.
6:59, my heart skipped a beat when I heard that little opening riff from "You're gonna miss me." Roky Erickson and the 13th floor elevators often get overlooked when discussing this subject. You'll be surprised of how many people haven't heard of them; thank you for including them!👍🏾
I was pleased that this documentary spent so much time on The Elevators , but , it's Roky , not Rory Erickson.
@@Gentlem1 I know! Roky! I hoped that Slip Inside This House would be mentioned at least, but oh well...
Praise this channel for the wholesome archive of knowledge and memories, well done!
This video, was just an amazing experience, such an incredible amount of information and effort, and yet, entertainment!
Hendrix and Dazed and Confused of Led Zeppelin is really the first song that toppled old rock sound into a new era . Guitar, drums would never be the same after ... Birth of Savagery, mysticism, sex drive, excitement trance in rock. They creates a new style in 6.30 minutes ...
search MC5 live 1970 and Zeppelin seem tame.
Link Wray "Rumble" 1959. I think he intended for this song to sound different, and the distortion and volume were crucial to the song. It seemed to work on Jimmy Page, he was impressed by the use of distortion and volume. Then Dick Dale's "Miserlou" kinda has that mystical sex exciting thing...and he played loud af. 100 watt amps made by Leo Fender for Dick Dale's specific needs. He wasna rockstar because they didn't exist yet. Surf rock may seem pretty lame to some (and very un-Hendrix like lol) but there was innovation.
Also...Vamp Camp by the Ventures sounds like instrumental Nirvana lol. Drop D tuning. 🤙🤘
BUT THEY ARE NOT NEAR THE HEAVY AS PARDONS SOUND OR ASH RA TEMPLE.

Paint it Black has to probably be the darkest song of the 60s.
I have to say The Doors were quite heavy especially The End which is really metal
@@aidenspencer6415 the end is more metal than most metal I know
They inspired from a Turkish music god the Erkin Koray
That’s a yikes from me dawg
I'm a huge Black Sabbath fan and to me, Paint it Black and Helter Skelter are the only two songs that have a metal component to them. Even Black Sabbath wasn't all Heavy Metal. They are the first Metal band ever. But they played psychedelic hard Rock like the stones, the who, Zeppelin. Deep purple, and others.
The most metal sounding band from the late 60's was Mountain imo.
idk about that, their first album was out at about the same time as Black Sabbath's, and Sabbath was worlds heavier
To this day nobody is or was heavier than HENDRIX!!! Maybe someday, but not yet.
yea mississippi queen was actually mad heavy for the time
@@drivinsouth651 100% agree
@@awesome-xg4hl Never In My Life is even heavier
Damn, I'll never forget once when I was going out to a metal club/bar and they played Born To Be Wild. Everyone inside started to sing loudly, and one guy in front of me lit the lighter while he sang. It was like an anthem to us metalheads.
r/thathappened
Outstanding work. You always have insightful input to the growth and evolution of music but this episode is top notch. Cheers.
"Rumble" is probably my favourite 1950s rock song, it's just the sound of some Neanderthal biker looking to pick a fight. A close second would be Johnny Burnette's "Train Kept a Rollin'", which is generally considered the first time distortion was deliberately used in rock and roll (plus it was co-opted by the Yardbirds, so. Also, if you haven't heard "Love Me" by The Phantom... holy hell. People who heard that in 1958 must've shat themselves.
That Electric Flag review was interesting. I always thought Humble Pie were the first band to have the heavy metal tag applied to them by a critic, but evidently not.
I like the description of LZ's "Dazed and Confused" as inspired by the Jake Holmes song. Very diplomatic :)
The term heavy metal to describe music only started in the late 70s. Tony Iommi said in an interview that this label of "metal" didn't exist until way later. He said what they played was just rock n roll.
Baghuul you are both correct and incorrect. CREEM was using the term as early as 1971 (after Steppenwolf of course), but it encompassed a larger swath of musical styles. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal groups were the first bands to take the term as their own.
Yeah Iommi would refer to their music as 'Heavy rock' in pretty sure. At least sometimes
By the time Heavy Metal magazine premiered in 1977, the Heavy Metal genre was already well established as the hardcore faction of Rock music, at least until it was blindsided by Punk.
A very interesting Metal reference was made in 1971 by (of all people!) KRAFTWERK. Check out the song "Heavy Metal kids". It is kinda tongue and cheek but the obvious Iron Man riffs they lifted for it make it metal as fuck! I mean GODFLESH sounding metal as fuck! It's fascinating that Sab wasn't aware of the term until 1977 and then demured from it when Kraftwerk was almost plagiarising their music in that song six years before! Anyway, I advise every true fellow metal fan to listen to it if for no other reason but to hear that obscure reference (and it's metal as fuck!)
What people forget is that in those days, you did not have such hard lines to differentiate style. Thus you could have a song that would be soul AND prog AND metal AND psychedelic all at once, such as the Chambers Brothers “Time Has Come Today”. You’d find Allison Steele on the FM dial, spinning Miles Davis and then Deep Purple and then the Supremes. And there’d be no quibble. Miles was exclaiming of Hendrix “the machine guns, man!” while Crosby Stills Nash and The Doors were incorporating Miles and Coltrane into their work. And yeah, The Beatles could put Mother Nature’s Son and Helter Skelter on the same record. It was the best time in modern music history.
I don't agree.when I listen to songs like 90210 by Travis Scott or institutionalized by Kendrick Lamar I heard many sounds like jazz instrumental that aren't really traditional jazz but would have a more trippy psychedelic sound to it.same with travis Scott with his song 90210 that has heavy emphises on electric sound like using synths .electric guitars and Autotune to give the song a ghost sound.in both example there are flow switches in both singing and rap as well.i would suggest listening to them yourself to see what I mean...I'm not good at explaining things
Best rockumentary I've seen great job!
No mention of piper at the gates of dawn? Interstellar Overdrive sounds heavy as hell
I concur.
Also "Who are the brain police?" by Zappa
*Laughs in The Nile Song*
(I do agree with you, although I personally see it more as proto-punk)

I'm 64 years old, I grew up in Washington State Jimi Hendrix came right out of Seattle, Washington. That's where he grew up, so he lives with the school. He has a brother there that's still playing music today. A lot of music came out of Washington State and Oregon.

The guitar tone in Blue Cheer's 'Summertime Blues' is phenomenal
That LP really shook things up, didn't it! There are some great heavy originals on their second LP "Inside/Outside, too.
For me the song "Doctor doctor " of Blue Cheers , I think in the same LP of 1968, was THE heavy metal song of the year.
Unfortunately, as an adult, I realize that Blue Cheer could barely manage a competent 12-bar blues.
Very well researched,summarized and exquisitely put into a historical context with amazingly quick ,focused narrator skills.
I love your channel! Keep up the amazing work. Super inspiring.
Metal would've been established (eventually) without Black Sabbath. Rock & Roll was definitely going to keep getting faster, louder, heavier, etc. However, they were the first ones to truly harness what it was, and they stood alone for quite a few years. You could tell that other bands at the time were trying to figure it out, but fell short. They knew that they had to be loud, fast, and heavy, but they were missing that edge. Black Sabbath was the complete package, and their first 4 albums were progressively heavier as they refined their sound. Nobody could touch them. I listen to "Into The Void", and can't believe it was released the same year as "Brown Sugar".
He didn't mention MOTORHEAD
@@edwallace3704 Except Motorhead is not Metal. They are a Rock and Roll band
Might have been a little different without the drop d
S K Motörhead are not metal
Absolutely not true, Deep Purple was the FIRST band to capture the essence of Heavy Metal, they did it in 1970, with their "In Rock" album, it was the heaviest thing the world had ever heard, Sabbath's debut album was mere child's play in comparison. It wasn't until 1971, when Sabbath released "Master of Reality," when the monstrous power of the "In Rock" album was overtaken, and not even by much. Gillan's voice was just demonic in how powerful and dirty it was, screams that would make the devil himself wet his pants.
Very comprehensive and enjoyable! My only critique is the neglect to mention Michigan bands like The Stooges, MC5, Grand Funk Railroad, and Alice Cooper. That whole scene had a large impact on heavy metal undeniably.
Right on! MC5 and The Stooges were blasting feedback drenched power chords thru Marshalls set on 11, before Black Sabbath was even formed!
I have an MC5 CD (the title is elusive to me now....maybe "Breakout '66") of unreleased demos and such from the early years. Most tunes were rough recordings of high school parties, etc., but there were some definite roots of hard rock there. One track (again with my bad memory today - maybe "Looking at You"?) was hard as hell for the time. I don't think Wayne Kramer gets enough credit as a hard rock pioneer. Great showman, too! What a band! Shame their management was a little "off" for lack of a better term.

It’s weird how today that “heavy metal” morphed into a genre that means “anything that sounds like Black Sabbath.” Yet that wasn’t the case from the 1960s to the 1990s.
Thank you! Hendrix is acid rock not metal. Did it help? Absolutely. But two completely different things. Then we should call "I wanna be your dog" metal, but it's punk. Same thing with Helter Skelter. That's how dumb people think Beatles invented metal. Today anything heavier than usual is called metal, even if there are no guitars like in viking music.
Yes it was...Sabbath started heavy metal ...it did not exist before
Jay Edwards Blue Cheer, Vincebus Eruptum. There’s your homework assignment.

@@Deucealive75 Because it was a term takin out of context form the Rock song Born to be Wild.
And a lot of hard rock fans saw the trajectory of the genre, and craved the harder sound they felt comming.
Sabbath delivered.
Zeitgeist "There’s your homework assignment."
You forgot to mention where the term "heavy metal" came from. A reporter (cant remember who now) who saw hendrix play in london and described it as heavy metal falling from the sky. Great video tho
That is an unverified rumour - the first reference to heavy metal as a style of music is from "Metal" Mike Saunders - and it meant something different in the late 1960s.
Heavy Metal music was interchangeable with "sh1t rock," - noisy, cacophanous, amateurish chaos, more akin to punk than what we call heavy metal since Sabbath.
If a journalist used the phrase "heavy metal" in reference to music, chances are it was because it just sounded like noise.
Lemmy is on record (CZcams interviews) as answering the question "What is heavy metal" by saying "Noise".
Metal Mike also used the phrase to describe Black Sabbath, but, by then, he was more of a fan, and the music had changed so dramatically that the original sense of amateurish had gone from his point of view, and there was growing respect for the controlled cacophony and robotic, mechanical, more technically oriented playing.
I think there's an earlier documented use by a music journalist, but that too just meant "dreadful noise".
In terms of the origins of the music, The Nice shouldn't be overlooked. Some of their material was so intense and cacophanous, yet classically inspired and heavy.
Talking of heavy, Pink Floyd were masters of heavy music, in between the whimsy. Astronomy Domine and Saucerful of Secrets especially were massively influential on underground heavy bands, including the "Krautrock" scene, Jason Crest and White Noise (Black Mass, in both cases). There are plenty of other heavy Floyd examples, such as Careful with that Axe, Eugene and The Nile Song.
Before Sabbath, there was heavy, but it was rock. Spooky Tooth should be noted.
The Pretty Things are more than SF Sorrow, as they were the heaviest band in the Ladbroke Grove scene in 1966, which Hendrix became a part of, hanging with people like Lemmy.
Check out also Ace Kefford. The single "Gravy Booby Jamm" (yes, really) features Cozy Powell, and there's the beginning of the heavy metal drum sound right there.
Maybe I should make my own video, and some know all could correct me :0)
