Early Heavy Music

Not exactly…that was Paul trying to keep up with The Who, “I Can See For Miles” in particular. And considering that stuff like Blue Cheer had already come out earlier in 1968(plus what Cream and Hendrix had been up to), it was over for them in that department before they even started. Maybe “TNK”, as mentioned earlier, might count.

That’s why I enjoy these discussions.

That’s my take. I’ve always thought so. It sort of evolved out of I’m Down. I like to argue over beers that Paul is the Father of Metal. Good fun. 68 to 69 were the tipping years with so many bands experimenting.

Try this again, sorry for quoting you twice

based on Pauls comments , he was trying to come up with some thing heavier than what others had done. To me, this implies that even he knew this was not a single point of origin, but rather a continuum of what had already came before him, that he was influenced by, of course whether or not you think this is the heaviest song of the day is completely subjective to each listener, makes you look or consider if there are others

and that truly is the fun part of topics like this

These guys out of Texas were very influential although largely unknown nowadays. Dave Rabbit played them, among other hard rock bands on his short-lived Radio First Termer, a pirate station out of a wh . . . House of less than stellar repute in Saigon for a very short period in 1970.

First album I ever bought, as a ten-year-old. From Sears in Golf Mill iirc.
