| | | | definitely not
and playing it tuned down with more distortion doesnt make it heavier either, just makes it louder and more distorted
in franketstein the major walk up line is not heavy at all, and really too hard to recover from since its so giddy
the first few notes of dazed and confused is more like it, or the lead in line by geezer on warpigs, heavy in appraoch heavy in that it is not franticly trying to convince someone that is heavy like all this new crap that is considered heavy
listen to some beethoven he made lightly played piano notes sound heavy, same with chopin
heavy like johnny unitas throwing a touchdown pass and not celebrating just unhooking his chin stap and walking to the sideline.. while the ball was still in mid air... |

I play "Frankenstein" in one of my current bands. I use an 8 string and just crank it. Never fails to make me feel like I'm 13 again.

Blue Cheer
Pink Floyd -check The Nile Song
and other bands had already started rocking metal for all it was worth before the Winters brothers got close. Johnny Winters shreds, though.
EDIT: and in the liner notes of his second album, Second Winter, there is a mention that they added another side because if they fit all the songs onto one vinyl record the volume would've dropped, and he wasn't having that.
