I can't think of any earlier than that.
Wish they still sounded as awesome as they did back then now... |

The main song IS the breakdown and the middle is a frenzy of awesomeness. I think Children of the Grave has to be one of the earlier real "breakdown" songs. 1971 !!! YouTube - black sabbath-children of the grave

The ones in mostly metalcore that are purely rythmic sections of strumming the 2 or 3 lowest open strings (guitar), with little to no melody, like from 1:06 to the end of this song YouTube - Attack Attack! - AC-130
peace. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Bristol, Connecticut, USA | | Hmmmmmmmmmm............maybe you're right! Maybe a band as influential and signifigant as Sabbath never played a breakdown. This is a definition I found for breakdown. Breakdown
very popular in most styles of music which involve men wearing thier sisters pants screaming about thier ex girlfriends and period pains. a chugging action performed on guitar which only one arm is needed to perform, one armed retards, aswell as, normal retards, love this because, it's an excuse not to have a riff which takes time to write and practice to perfect, people who enjoy this usally start having fits and waving thier arms and legs around trying to be as gay as they can in the biggest amount of space possible.  |
