RE: A.C.O.T.D. - Metal Mania

their start up was 1966 though [the unofficial band of the Hell's Angles] and though there were 'psychedelic' blues rock bands that were contemporaries like the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Alice Cooper, Steppenwolf, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Yardbirds, The Who, Kinks, Golden Earring, Accept, Scorpions [even The Sonics out of Minneapolis / Seattle] ... I just can't place them in the same 'metal' genre ...Blue Cheer had the volume, [often] distorted guitar and freight train bass /drumming rhythm that most closely resembles what I consider the hallmarks of 'heavy' and 'metal'

so that's why they get my nod as the progenitors: stripped down & full speed ahead rock with a lot of 'outlaw' themes in the tunes ... saw them once and they were just brutal, in a good way!

thanks for the reply and being the collector that you are!

regards,
