bubba_leon Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 hmmm heavy metal/heavy rock are 'American art forms' ; I would say the first heavy metal band was Black Sabbath from Birmingham' date=' UK...near Slash[biggrin'] the first documented use of the term "heavy metal" was to describe a band from NYC called Sir Lord Baltimore. All this being said I'm huge fan of British Rock. Hell Mick Ronson is one of my heroes. I just defending what's "ours" over here. I'm a born and raised southern American. We get a bit testy at times!

My last flat in the City before I got drafted was on Eureka. It was a very quiet, semi-retired working class neighborhood up there then. By the time I returned just 4 years later the changes were already evident. I headed to the Avenues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the majority of the forum said British music ruled- and American music sucked' date=' I would be fighting the case of the later[biggrin'] I like some American rock too; I love Hendrix and The Doors especially- and Metallica are just ace[cool] As my Gibson MOM testifies I love Randy Rhoads too! My thinking with any term in a historical reference is that is is secondary to the actuality of it!!! Or to say the last sentence in another way, Black Sabbath 'sound like' what the majority of people (and musicologists) would term the first 'heavy metal'. In my academic reasoning too, heavy metal came from the rawness of the British Isles; in my hearing too, it came from there. Heavy metal is so raw, as were the places it was born, it is understandable the the darkness flourished in these places! What I find interesting about heavy metal, is a lot of it (not all:-" ) 'bi passed' the blues- and went straight to Baroque, folk and classical influences in it's tonality; which I assure you is quite pre USA.

Matt Unfortunatley, Budvar over here is called Czechvar (100 year old battle with Budweiser who is now owned by the Belgians!). It tastes like pee pee by the time it's finds it way onto the shelves.

pohatu771 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Well said. Some decent debate on here for a change! I don't think it matters either. As for the copy side of things - I don't mind that it was a copy' date=' at all. [/quote'] That's the funny thing about copies - if it's Chinese and low-quality, it's an illegal copy, but if it's American and high-quality, it's a "tribute." I see people online all the time selling Les Pauls, clearly marked as copies, with Gibson headstocks selling for over $3000. The difference, I suppose, is that these "tributes" are clearly stated not to be Gibsons, and you can often contact the builder directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
