[Kreator/Destroyer]

[standablaze]

People who take things to serious on the internet are amusing. The word n00b is amusing. And Metaln00b is amusing.

 

[Kreator/Destroyer]

i'm not taking things serious...i just really want a n00b to argue with me so i can as follows...

"honestly i'm gunna kill this...shut up newbie, god, SHUT UP, go back inside and wait by the flag"

and then when they rebuttle..."OK WHATEVER MORON!"

this is all stolen directly and indirectly from Red vs. Blue the greates thing on the internet

 

[Life Sucks]

Zeppelin - hard rock/proto glam/sex rock
Deep Purple - old school hard rock
Rush - prog rock

my thoughts exactly

 

[sumairetsu]

I don't think any of the bands listed in the title of this thread could even be considered Progressive Rock. I think Progressive Rock, and I think stuff like King Crimson, Yes and other bands of that mindset.

Rush, while some of their earlier stuff could have been considered Progressive (i.e. 2112, Hemispheres, etc.), turned decidedly more mainstream as the years went on, especially at the beginning of the 1980's. Deep Purple got heavier as the 1970's went on, then started getting funkier with the inclusion of David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes. Led Zeppelin ripped off anyone and everyone (they lost at least one lawsuit because of it, too) and mixed and matched styles to achieve their sound. While all of these bands were/are influences to Metal bands around the world, NONE of them could be considered Metal and would definitely fit in the category of Rock music.

The only bands from that time and era that could even be considered Heavy Metal both came from Birmingham...Judas Priest and Black Sabbath.

You forgot the whole era of Rush preceding 2112, which, imo, truly was progressive (save for their self-titled debut). 2112 is the point in their career in which I feel became commercialized.

Referring to the origional thread topic: Rush, Led Zep and Deep Purple are all different styles of rock; it just so happens that all 3 of these bands influenced metal.

Your posts are a breath of fresh air amidst the moronic elitests .

Hardly. Rush's "commercialization" clearly starts around the time of Signals. While there had always been commercial tracks on their albums it was only around the early 80's that their music became commercialized IN GENERAL.

 

[Astrum]

Rock.

Thats exactly what i said, but if i had to pick someone that was right and more in depth then this wins:

Zeppelin - hard rock/proto glam/sex rock
Deep Purple - old school hard rock
Rush - prog rock

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

There is no discussion here. Both bands have said time and time again "We are not metal, we are rock."


/thread

IBL

Page called Zep "Heavy rock" back then... and anyways for it's time Zep and Purple were/are metal... if you compare them to today's bands. no they wouldn't be... they would be Hard rock... but since they are the originators of metal along with Sabbath... I would consider these three bands metal... just some are heavier then the others... if you grew up in the late 60's/70's and heard their music you would not have considered them regular rock but something heavier... I don't know where Floyd came into this convo because they were never considered metal then or now... as for Zep I probably would of considered them a Heavy/Hard rock band with metal overtones and other influences such as blues, folk, indian, etc... Rush is a Progressive hard rock band with metal overtones... then in the 70's at least.. basically everyone here is basing their opinions that these bands are not metal solely on whats metal today but back in the day they were considered metal in metal's infancy... so when a topic like this is brought up opinions should be on what the music was and considered in those days and not compared to today's music... Neil Peart is a great drummer but I have always leaned towards Bonham more..
