+Hoolermasters Conor doom metal is metal that's meant to be menacing, scary and dark

[@Wolkenwandererr]

+RyanThompsonGuitarist Doom metal is a form of heavy metal that typically has slower tempos, low-tuned guitars and a much heavier sound than other metal genres. Both the music and the lyrics intend to evoke a sense of despair, dread, and impending doom.

[@hollyb.hansen7272]

Yeahbsolutely! Classic

[@badgersteve5034]

+Johnny MF Bravo Nope. I encourage you to watch Sam Dunn's excellent "Metal Evolution" series - I think it is episode 2 where he explores the roots of metal as we know it with the Unholy Trinity of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Led Zeppelin. And none of those three groups ever considered themselves to be heavy metal. In fact, metal as we know it today didn't really take shape until the likes of Judas Priest. Sabbath, Purple, Led Zep, Rainbow (With RJD spinning his fantasy lyrical mastery), were very hard rock (or borderline fold in the case of Led Zep at times!), but certainly laid the foundations. That being said, it's still amazing to listen to these classics now and wonder what the people that heard this for the first time back in the 60's must have thought!

[@jackcarraway4707]

By taking the blues-based hard rock of Led Zeppelin/Cream/Hendrix and mixing it with Coven's occult and horror themes, Black Sabbath created heavy metal in 1970.

[@bluepeng8895]

The Beatles created heavy metal in 1968

[@The_Pot06]

@@bluepeng8895 you’re a clown if you think Helter Skelter is heavy metal

[@bluepeng8895]

@@The_Pot06 Helter Skelter is the definition of heavy metal. Heavy guitars, blues riffs, heavy drumming, screaming, guitar solos, etc. Helter Skelter started off as a blues song (listen to take 2, you’ll see what I mean). Speed that up and you get heavy metal

[@The_Pot06]

@@bluepeng8895 I’d have to say that Skelter is more hard rock then metal, although I do agree with you that it laid down the ground work that led to Black Sabbath producing what could be considered as heavy metal, the Beatles can’t really be considered to be the founders of heavy metal but rather the foundation layers of heavy metal

[@jackcarraway4707]

If we want to get technical, Cream and Hendrix both beat the Beatles to developing the heavy metal sound. Sabbath, however, put the finishing touches by adding dark imagery and feelings of dread commonly associated with metal.

[@jamesdeansghost5531]

I believe it's been well documented that metal pioneers could not identify with The Beatles, psychedelia or the flower power ethos of the hippie movement. One of the primary objectives of early metal pioneers was to convey not only doom and gloom (and maybe evil) but also the desperation of the environment they were living in and perhaps the state of the world as well. By those standards alone Ozzy (Sabbath era) has to be the greatest metal vocalist ever. Not as technically brilliant as Halford or Dio but if ever there was someone born to sing metal and perfectly express those emotions, it was Ozzy. His voice was the archetypal sound you would expect to hear when conjuring up those apocalyptic images.

[@grappigification]

Ozzy Osbourne's biggest inspiration and favourite band is the beatles..

[@jamesdeansghost5531]

+Thomas Cartman Sure, I'm aware that Ozzy was/is a fan of The Beatles especially in the 60's as a young boy... but what kid wasn't? The influence was more in the decision to want to become a rock star and obviously not in the style of music they ultimately chose for their sound. That came from The Yardbirds, Zeppelin, The Who, The Kinks, Cream and Hendrix more than likely. But even more than that, their biggest influence was the dark, grimy, desperate environment of the English Midlands that was the complete opposite of the flower power movement at the time. I've seen interviews with Halford, Mick Box(Uriah Heep) and Burke Shelley(Budgie) that confirm this.

[@grappigification]

jamesdeansghost55 Yes, I've seen a few interviews with Ozzy claiming that of course, and I understand what you're saying. I just find it hard to believe that they're really like what they say in their lyrics. The same goes for some black and death metal artists, they have Very Dark lyrics, but some of them are even Christians! As is Ozzy, he claims to be really into the god thing now. Sabbath sure were best at being dark, but that doesn't mean that their entire life is just darkness.

No one has been credited to make a full genre by themselves. The genres have slowly made and no one can be considered their inventor. Except Black Sabbath.

[@onnizx]

Nah, Sabbath was inspired by rock and blues bands before them. EDIT: By the late 60's rock music was already trending towards heavier stuff, and Sabbath followed along that path. Black Sabbath had a heavy distorted guitar tone that only a few could match at the time though. “To other people it may have felt like a new genre of music, but to us it just felt like an extension of the bands that we liked, like Hendrix, Cream and Robert Johnson. We just made songs for ourselves. We didn’t think ‘this is rock’ or ‘this is metal’ or anything like that; it was just music to us.” -Geezer Butler

[@RibeiroGames12]

@@onnizx and? no one did it like they did. tommy had a play style due to his condition

[@onnizx]

@@RibeiroGames12 So it means that they didn't suddenly create a whole genre from thin air. Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult, Steppenwolf, Jimi Hendrix, Rainbow, Iron Claw, the Stooges, High Tide, etc. were making proto/metal songs around the same time as well (or even before Sabbath). Tony himself has also talked about guitarists that influenced him such as Chuck Berry and Eric Clapton. My point still stands

[@SeanSMST]

@@onnizx When i listen to at least deep, blue oyster, stepp, jimi and rainbow, I don't really hear the 'doom' or the real heaviness that BS had around the same time. Only thing that comes close imo is Helter Skelter by Beatles. I'd class those bands you mentioned as like heavy rock, while black sabbath were the pinnacle of metal. And even if you disregard the point there of BS mainly responsible for metal, you have to agree that BS ARE mainly responsible for doom metal. Btw, what does Berry or Clapton have to do with this? They are/were rocknrollers, not metalheads. Bringing them up as 'well Tony was inspired by these other people so these other people created metal'? I'm guessing that's where you were going with that. Rock and roll did not create metal, musicians inspired by rock and roll stars created metal. Big difference. You wouldn't say that john coltrane or duke ellington created prog rock (for eg) either, now would you?

[@nightshadespectre409]

Before “Helter Skelter” by “The Beatles”, there was “You Really Got Me” by “The Kinks”, and if that song could inspire “The Who”,(which was already a big step in the evolution of heavy music) then the sheer power of “Helter Skelter” was guaranteed to inspire more bands to replicate the same sound. Hence “Led Zeppelin”, “Iron Butterfly”, “Deep Purple”, etc... But nothing, and I mean NOTHING, could have prepared the world for “Black Sabbath”. They changed music by giving the guitar a heavier sound (Thanks Tony), turning Flower Power and The Hippie Movement upside down (Sorry Lennon), and broke ALL the rules of the music business. Weather it be Erie Album covers, Dark Lyrics, Satanic References, or by just being too loud and obnoxious (That’s probably how parents in the 70’s referred to them as). But in the end, love them or hate them, they changed the world musically, and were just bound to happen. Besides, I think we can all agree that a lot of crazy shit happened in the 60’s, and we wouldn’t have had it any other way. 🌸✌️🎸🤘💀

"You Really Got Me" told everyone they could do it. There was no song that sounded like it back in 1964, The Who weren't even that heavy yet.
