It's funny though, most people say it invented heavy metal, but I consider that album blues, the only metal element is the riff that kicks off "is it the end my friend" part.
Hmm interesting theory. I personally say that album had a huge role in starting DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM metal.
LOL, that's a load of fucking bollocks NAD. The entire "Black Sabbath" song is FUCKING METAL. I mean, DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHN....... DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.. DAuAuAUAuAUAUAUAUA.. WHAT IS THIS.. THAT STAAAAANDS... what is that? That is the mother and father of every doom metal song in existence.
Yeah, "The Wizard" and a bunch of other stuff is demented dark blues at best, but N.I.B? For 1970... FUCKEN METAL. The album isn't 100% metal (I don't reckon any of the first 4 Sabbaths are) but it doesn't need to be to have been the start of heavy metal, just like "Roots" doesn't need to be 100% mallcore to have started that
Eh, King Crimson had a much heavier riff than the DUHHN DAAAAAAH DUNUNUNUNNU Black Sabbath one, in 1969 (opening riff for 21st Century Schizoid Man). Sabbath didn't really get real heavy in a real sort of really way until Paranoid.
