the origins of metal?

not really, but by chance I caught Chuck Berry perform tonight and it was awesome. Said he turns 79 next week. Unbelievable- a great showman with a strong presence (he's tall). I don't know about how 'metal' it was, but the man is rock & roll! He put on a great show - lots of fun. Just thought I'd share.

Millhouse from the Simpsons did

There'd be no rock n' roll without Berry. No Beatles, no Stones.

Anyway, I remember an interview years ago where Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman said that wouldn't have picked up a guitar if it hadn't been for Hendrix.

I'd say the origins of metal actually come from Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly.

he did a longer version of 'ding a ling' than Milhouse got to do (I think he was cut off after the first verse by Skinner-hilarious).

Little Richard was the king of Rockn' Roll. Elvis basically ripped him off. Chuck Berry was the first real rock Guitarist. These two guys eventually evolved into Anthrax.
