Before Black Sabbath: How Psychedelic Rock Became Metal 

YOB!

Space Slug!!

As for who is keeping metal alive today, I honestly do not know - but then I am old, fat and jaded. Sorry.

Gojira, YOB, Tool, and the new wave bands like Code Orange Knocked Lose Vein etc

it`s Code Orange for me

Bad Company 'Bad Company' too 1974

Fun fact: the song name came first, then the band name, then the album name

King Crimson also did it

Except that Coven's album Witchcraft had the same name for their first track (Black Sabbath) three years earlier...

@@godisdeadandwememedhim4174 Crimson were surely first to do a lot of shit, but not this. Their first track on In the Court is 21st, while the eponimous song is the closing one. Nevertheless they were inovative af, both prog and math rock exist thanks to King Crimson.

I think that was the point

@@wesleyzimmerman94 I'm aware that's probably the point. I just wanted to get youtube points for pointing it out.

finally changed my profile pic your honesty is appreciated and you deserve all the youtube points!

finally changed my profile pic literally the birthday of metal

@@cyclone927 You'd have got more points if you'd used the word eponymous.

Bro, I Want You should've got their own segment on the video, it was heavy as rocks in 69, and it still is heavy today.

I agree. 👍👍

Honestly, I felt like he missed out on mentioning the Monkees "(I'm not your) steppin' stone" Imo, it's also very important to the heavy sound coming out at the time.

Considering Coroner did a cover version you'd have to say yes...

Maybe just as much early prog as early metal imo.

Well said.

Well said hendrix inspired many but those who inspired him are truly the greatest

@@Vandalio_Saez , indeed. Buddy Guy is a good example. He did not get a single mention in this video, but I'd like to think his contribution to guitar solos fars outweighs anything that came from Chuck Berry.

Talking about quantum leaps: it took The Beatles only four years from "Love Me Do" to "Tomorrow Never Knows." This always blows my mind...

Blew me away when I learned The Beatles only lasted 8 years. What a progression across the globe in a decade

I've had a couple of beers so now I'd like to add some drunken perspective on Roger. He spat on himself really. So some peanut was disrupting a show.. Shit does happen when you expose yourself to it. Roger had a mindset that was celebrated in Have a Cigar. Unfortunately he manifested it

Daniel Reyes actually the rock n roll sound started in 49’ 50’ by black amateur musicians. Before little Richard there was guitar slim (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fj33EGMbazY.html) A small flamboyant black man that wore a cape and drove a bright red Cadillac and dated white women. Also Howlin wolf who was more blues but the rock beat was there (back door man)

@@rossconroy1674 what

The first super group perhaps.

My mom heard the lyrics to Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb, and asked if it was about drug use. I said yes, and she voiced her disapproval. I said, "Does it sound like it encourages you to shoot up, mom"? She, of course, said no. You gotta put up with a lot if you like the stuff that isn't Top 40....

@@painkillerjones6232 comforatbly numb isnt about drugs lmao

What is this that stands before me? Figure in black which points at me Turn around quick, and start to run Find out I'm the chosen one Oh nooo! Big black shape with eyes of fire Telling people their desire Satan's sitting there, he's smiling Watches those flames get higher and higher Oh no, no, please God help me! Is it the end, my friend? Satan's coming 'round the bend People running 'cause they're scared The people better go and beware! No, no, please, no! Yes, that's hopeful and uplifting. Ozzy was a bit of a jesus freak. But he didn't write all the lyrics. Add to that Mr Crowley wasn't a Sabbath song. Neither was crazy train. NIB is iterally a song about falling in love with the devil. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath You've seen right through distorted eyes You know you had to learn The execution of your mind You really had to turn The race is run, the book is read The end begins to show The truth is out, the lies are old But you don't want to know Nobody will ever let you know When you ask the reasons why They just tell you that you're on your own Fill your head all full of lies The people who have crippled you You want to see them burn The gates of life have closed on you And there's just no return You're wishing that the hands of doom Could take your mind away And you don't care if you don't see again The light of day Nobody will ever let you know When you ask the reasons why They just tell you that you're on your own Fill your head all full of lies You bastards Where can you run to? What more can you do? No more tomorrow Life is killing you Dreams turn to nightmares Heaven turns to hell Burned out confusion Nothing more to tell, yeah Cheerful stuff.... Sigh....

While you do in certain respects make a valid point, OZ songs are not indicative of Black Sabbath's music, as in some ways Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, does point out why people are "dark" in the first place, with lyrics like "Nobody will every let you know, when you ask the reasons why, they will just tell you, that you're on your own, fill your head all full of lies!" And even in the song Die Young this is true, which was sang on Heaven And Hell, with Ronnie James Dio as lead singer! Also that same band did the song Country Girl, claiming "She was up from another world, just to take another soul" again Ronnie James Dio's vocals on the Mob Rules album!! So there are "DARK undertones" in some of their songs!! As well as the later song Trashed (singer Ian Gillian), by Black Sabbath! And besides Ozzy as a solo artist IS NOT tied to Black Sabbath after he left the band!!! Even the darkness of the song Sweet Leaf talks about being alone and in a "dark place" when he (Ozzy) found "sweet leaf"!! So not all Black Sabbath songs are completely "hopeful" either!!! And I have been listening to Black Sabbath since 1976!!!

natfoote: yes, as in After Forever: Have you ever thought about your soul Can it be saved? Or perhaps you think That when you are dead You just stay in your grave Is God just a thought within your head Or is he a part of you? Is Christ just a name That you read in the book When you were in school? When you think about death Do you lose your breath Or do you keep your cool? Would you like to see the pope On the end of a rope? Do you think he's a fool? Well I have seen the truth Yes, I've seen the light And I've changed my ways And I'll be prepared When you're lonely and scared At the end of our days Could it be you're afraid Of what your friends might say If they knew you believe in God above? They should realise before they criticise That God is the only way to love Is your mind so small that you have to fall In with the pack wherever they run Will you still sneer when death is near And say that you may as well worship the sun? I think it was true it was people like you That crucified Christ I think it is sad the opinion you had Was the only one voiced Will you be so sure When your day is near Say you don't believe You had the chance But you turned it down Now you can't retrieve Perhaps you'll think before you say God is dead and gone Open your eyes, just realise That He is the one The only one who can save you now From all this sin and hate Or will you jeer at all you hear?

Bro I can’t believe she’s in the Elvis movie

This is true, but whether or not Chuck Berry was the first to do that style, he was the first to do his songs, and there is no denying that Chuck's major hits are still interesting songs TODAY. Back then, they were groundbreaking. Just about every rock band of the 60s credits Berry as being the man because he was. Plus he lived long enough to do lots of performances with the famous musicians of that era.

I was going to say exactly that. Also Big Mama Thornton and a couple of other guitar playing ladies.

​@@foto21 True but... Chuck Berry explicitly said he ripped off "his" guitar style from Tharpe and Goree Carter! The 1st r'n'r songs (with very rare exceptions) date back to 1948-49 (originating from jump blues / rhythm'n'jazz, a style of jazz, NOT from country at all), but Rosetta Tharpe did the same starting from gospel and early r&b... and she recorded it in 1938-39, 10 years earlier!

The documentation should better replace the Yardbirds "Four Your Love" Sequence with "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago", "Psycho Daisies" or "Stroll On".

@@greystoke2229 Stroll on is such a great song

The 1st chords of Purple Haze spawned many a metal guitarist before metal was even -coined ;)

Me too . . . Gotta love a bit of Jimi

I just came back todayyyy I just cane back from the stormmmm

The effects on "Are you experienced?" (The song, I mean the album is also phenomenal) but that song and all the effects in it are like taking a music note and melting it.. I think THAT is where metal comes from.

Jimi WAS Metal imo.

The song is sick bro 👌

He died in 1996 and he used the guitar voice box long before Peter Framton did. 1954 to be exact.

Now, things like this are why I come to the comments. I got a song to listen to on repeat for awhile, thanks!

I tend to feel Helter Skelter as much more proto-punk, given it's raw garage band production and it's rock 'n roll type riffs and energy. Also the emphasis on treble notes over bass. It's certainly on the other end of the spectrum to early Black Sabbath.

I guess it's the origins of 'extreme' (rock) music

The Ramones always cited "Communication Breakdown" as the inspiration for all their writing. They wanted their songs to be short, fast, and loud.

@@jamstonjulian6947 I agree, Im into garage punk and it is very similar.

The connections throughout music from the beginning of recorded time until now are so boundless and intricate I can't even think of a good analogy. Neither trees or webs have the sufficient amount of overlap.

@Ronald Williams the end riff- “satan’s coming round the bend…”

@Ronald Williams i learned it around 1980- i picked up the guitar at ten, but it wasn’t til i was 13 i got serious….i remember when i actually figured the riff out; i still use it from time to time as a warm up exercise!

@@allendean9807 still have trouble with that one!

True that

Particularly in regards to the metal approach to solos.

Tt6 totally

i'm surprised that he didn't mentioned "Voodoo Child" in 68

Ironic cuz you only hear from metalheads that Hendrix is overrated...

Imagine Beyonce or Taylor Swift trying to sing a metal song, rapping, or even pop punk type stuff like Hayley Williams. They can't, they produce essentially the same music over and over again for decades. Not saying its bad music, but its stagnant now.

In the form of Helter Skelter, that is.

You're talking about glam, which basically branched into metal and punk.

Reminds me of a story my music theory professor told the class about Beethoven if I recall correctly. But it was in his early years and a church wanted his teacher to be in charge of their music. His teacher already took the job from another church and he sent them Beethoven instead. The church sent them a letter of complaint about how they wanted his teacher, how upset and angry they were for not giving them his teacher. They ended the letter with "We had to settle for Beethoven." LOL imagine saying you settled with the legendary Beethoven! 😂

@@brainrich1358 plot twist: it was the dog from that movie

"Jimmy Page of course had introduced Jeff Beck to the Yardbirds. He himself had passed on the Yardbird’s offer of the lead guitar role. And then proceeded to point them to Jeff. This was when Eric Clapton decided it was time to move on in early 1965. Page was content at that time to continue on as a session guitarist. If you go back to “Heart Full of Soul”, which was recorded right after Beck joined the Yardbirds in April 1965. It was he who made that song work. Before he arrived in the studio that day, the band had been trying to incorporate an actual sitar into the intro of the song. The sitar player they had brought in, however, was just not up to the 4/ 4 time. It was not his thing. Jeff observed this and disappeared again. Apparently, he went and borrowed his buddy’s, Jimmy Page’s, new fuzz box. Page was in an adjacent studio working on another project. With a little work Jeff came back with something of a sitar sound that worked nicely. It is a sound we still appreciate today. It turns that he and Page had previously listened to Ravi Shankar albums together, pondering how to get that sound with a guitar. That listening session, whenever that was, apparently had made an impression on Jeff Beck. With it, along with Page’s new fuzz box, the challenge of that recording session complete with sitar player trying to figure out a 4 / 4 time signature basically resulted in the “Heart Full of Soul” we know today, complete with Beck’s take on the Sitar at the start of the tune. Becks’s Bolero was ultimately released as a B side to Jeff Beck’s first solo single, “Hi Ho Silver Lining”. That was released in 1968, after the Yardbirds. It was in fact recorded, however, in early 1966 when Beck was still a member of the Yardbirds. Management of the Yardbirds, concerned about the longevity of the band, encouraged Beck and others to explore solo projects. Beck’s Bolero was the result of one such session. Ideally it would be a side project, a way to diffuse and to distract. That was the intent of management. It was seen as a distraction for Beck who despite the success of the band and his career, was not happy with constant touring and the focus on pop music. The musicians on Beck's Bolero were Jeff Beck on guitar; Jimmy Page on guitar; John Paul Jones on bass (who was another session musician at the time); Nicky Hopkins, a Royal Academy of Music graduate, and who would go on to play and tour with the Jeff Beck Group in 1968, on piano; and, lastly, there was Keith Moon on drums. Jimmy Page composed much of Beck's Bolero. Keith Moon’s comment at the end of that session has become legend. Prophetic. His response to the suggestion that this crew go out and play shows, he surmised would go over like a lead zeppelin."

For real!! That’s why there’s no defining “psychedelic” sound, it’s everything!

@@cars.796 I wanna hear psychedelic classic

I was a little young (but just old enough to remember it - and already collecting music) in the mid to late 60s. What an era of music! Friends and neighbors everywhere were playing live music and the creativity was off the charts. FM and "free form" radio were taking off. Peace/love/drugs had a head on collision with war/riots/civil upheaval and created the perfect breeding ground for the psychedelic scene.

@@Gobberfisch Fever Tree was a California band that I don't believe was mentioned in this video. Captain Beefhart, too. Some of the local/garage bands in the mid-60s were awesome. I have a compilation LP of garage bands in the Houston, Texas area called "Houston Hallucinations". I'm not sure how rare that one is.

@@cars.796 progressive rock is arguably what psychedelic rock evolved into.

With all respect to PT, the Who really did not have the lead guitarist chops to pull it off. The PT led Oo took its music in another, no less astonishing, direction.

The space between the notes matter as much as the notes you play.

I think the horror movie was called 'Black Sunday' It's a good movie of that genre, very creepy. I have a French copy on DVD, 'Le Masque du Demon'. I think it was by Mario Bava. You would have to ask the former members of Black Sabbath If I am correct.

I love the early Sabbath, but I have to chime in every time I see a comment like this. Sir Lord Baltimore came out with their first LP "Kingdom Come" at the same time as Sabbath. SLB had the ominous dark heavy songs like Sabbath, but SLB also had some very fast paced songs which were almost unheard of at the time. Sabbath didn't really breach that territory on their earliest LPs. It's all good though.

Then Dick Dale's "Miserlou" kinda has that mystical sex exciting thing...and he played loud af. 100 watt amps made by Leo Fender for Dick Dale's specific needs.

That LP really shook things up, didn't it! There are some great heavy originals on their second LP "Inside/Outside, too.

For me the song "Doctor doctor " of Blue Cheers , I think in the same LP of 1968, was THE heavy metal song of the year.

Unfortunately, as an adult, I realize that Blue Cheer could barely manage a competent 12-bar blues.

Right on! MC5 and The Stooges were blasting feedback drenched power chords thru Marshalls set on 11, before Black Sabbath was even formed!

I have an MC5 CD (the title is elusive to me now....maybe "Breakout '66") of unreleased demos and such from the early years. Most tunes were rough recordings of high school parties, etc., but there were some definite roots of hard rock there. One track (again with my bad memory today - maybe "Looking at You"?) was hard as hell for the time. I don't think Wayne Kramer gets enough credit as a hard rock pioneer. Great showman, too! What a band! Shame their management was a little "off" for lack of a better term.

Baghuul you are both correct and incorrect. CREEM was using the term as early as 1971 (after Steppenwolf of course), but it encompassed a larger swath of musical styles. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal groups were the first bands to take the term as their own.

Yeah Iommi would refer to their music as 'Heavy rock' in pretty sure. At least sometimes

By the time Heavy Metal magazine premiered in 1977, the Heavy Metal genre was already well established as the hardcore faction of Rock music, at least until it was blindsided by Punk.

A very interesting Metal reference was made in 1971 by (of all people!) KRAFTWERK. Check out the song "Heavy Metal kids". It is kinda tongue and cheek but the obvious Iron Man riffs they lifted for it make it metal as fuck! I mean GODFLESH sounding metal as fuck! It's fascinating that Sab wasn't aware of the term until 1977 and then demured from it when Kraftwerk was almost plagiarising their music in that song six years before! Anyway, I advise every true fellow metal fan to listen to it if for no other reason but to hear that obscure reference (and it's metal as fuck!)

I concur.

Also "Who are the brain police?" by Zappa

*Laughs in The Nile Song* (I do agree with you, although I personally see it more as proto-punk)

I agree: Astronomy Dominé/Lucifer Sam/ Interstellar Overdrive/Caporal Clegg and The Nile song could have been cited.

Or Nile Song

True, especially if you listen to live version. As a fact, in their early years (66-67), their live performance were considered so twisted, dark and violent that before finding shelter a the UFO club they had multiple issues with organizers... They even lose when they sued one of them who refused to pay them. Late 60's live recording of some of their song (Set the controls for the heart of the sun, Saucerful of Secrets, Careful with that axe Eugene...) pushed very far on the scale of heavyness, darkness and violence and definitely had a strong influence on metal at several point in time. But their studio versions were usually lighter and their singles did not often hit high on the billboards, and with the notable exception of the Nile Song none of them could be considered as protometal. So they are quite often forgotten in the metal history, despite their influence, and I was actually surprised that Careful with that Axe Eugene was featured in this video

I would have remembered so much more in history class!

That’s what history is too, it’s the context of the present based upon the happenings of the past, in context. Music history is just extra fun bc you can dance to it lol ;D
