After making that comment, I went and compared first album dates with other bands I thought came out at a similar time, and sabbath was 5 or 10 yrs ahead of them. And Ive no idea when Earth got started. But yea King Crimson and some hippy rock who were getting a little heavier where the only big names I saw listed as metal in 1970.

I stand by he didnt invent it singlehandly, but dam if anyone else could contend for title of Grandfather of metal. I made it to a few ozzfeasts in the late 90s early 00s, great time. He fucking rocked.

Replace weird with nice, or mean, and its also true!

No one person has ever invented a genre of music. Dont get me wrong, I won’t argue against calling him the grandad of metal or whatever it is, but he INVENTED heavey metal? Fucking insane take.
