Rod was there first. LZ I was a copy cat album of the first Jeff Beck album. That said, Zep 1 was a better album.RaceBannon said:Probably some fag named Rod

Oz was a down on his luck, out of a job loser till that gold digging whore marketed the shit out of him. Yes hes a cultural icon, but he was surrounded by smarter and more talented peopleRaceBannon said:

Yes, its because Sharon fucked over everyone involved with Ozzy who wrote all of his shit for him. Tony Iommi is the real icon of Heavy MetalRaceBannon said:If you grew up on what would be called pop today but was considered rock back then like the Beatles, Herman's Hermits and the like, where the Rolling Stones were considered edgy and a bit hard core then Black Sabbath would have freaked you out. And your parents.
There is a reason Ozzy is a cultural Icon
The front man is the front man
The wife took care of her man
Page was 5 times the artist of Plant but Plant made Zeppelin -
No to all.

There's the Gene Simmons' of the world who are smarter than shit and build empires - but mostly the famous are just good at being famous.
See also the thread on the Tug re: Aunt Becky and her $500K fiasco.
Still so hot though....

According to my memory, Page inquired about Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, and Steve Winwood before Plant came along.YellowSnow said:

Disagree.joeEDangerously said:All 4 Yellow listed definitely inspired metal bands but none should be considered Heavy Metal.
Deep Purple certainly has some heaviness but I'm afraid the use of a keyboard in every song disqualifies them. Sure its been used by Sabbath, Dio and others on some occasion but even Blackmore himself considered them an instrumental jam band who just happened to be able to use lyrics... Not metal
AC/DC uses about 5 chords, no palm muting, sings only about sex. Not enough depressing shit. Love them to death... Not metal.
Zepplin is too blues based, has too many folky sounding tunes. Certainly has elements of heavy... Not metal.
Van Halen is imo the closest, Eddie can be really heavy, has plenty of chunky riffs, super hot rodded solos. Arguably the most influential guitar player ever, but as much as I love them they have way too many songs with Motown-esque harmonies... Not metal
Also, you're a straight up fag if you dont think Iron Maiden is metal

Jimmy Page's track record for band mates other than Zeppelin is not that impressive. They looked good on paper but..................
