yes, of course it has to be loud ... now remember, I point to Blue Cheer as 'proto metal' as the beginning, others cite them as proto other things too ... I dunno, read up on them, give it a listen, ignore the whole thing?
<> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ <>
I'm not sure about success ... by what measure?
record sales? concert attendance? longevity?
if it's fan loyalty Blue Cheer has some of the oldest!
*wink*
of course a lot of them have gone the way of Dickei Peterson by now
again, the three bands you name drop in your 'simple' question are NOT metal acts
jeez
anyway, I'd guess by most criteria Sabbath would be the answer
anyway, as big a kick as it's been reading you pulling my chain and trolling on this I'm going to step off now ... I don't think you've really ever heard this band though or you wouldn't have these type of questions
bestest regardest,
Follow Ups:
Never said they were Metal bands - I said they were Heavy Metal bands.

[I think that CV19 vax is starting to drag my ass]
Thanks for the link. Here's a link for you
nice! Holden is still active playing & producing ... he basically took the wheel on side B of Blue Cheer's 'New & Improved' where two extended jams comprise the entire side; it's good stuff! it was also fairly influential ... I can hear echoes of it in some of David Gilmour's melodic excursions amongst other players
here's a for instance: Spooky Tooth's 'Wrong Time Wrong Place'
[which is heavy ... but not metal]
regards,
I have that album somewhere
That's really cool I never heard them before. Another similar kind of band was Iron Butterfly. I appreciate this kind of music now more than when I was a kid BTW.
Off topic but as I learn more and more about 60s rock the more I appreciate American bands from that era.

The guitarist from Blue Cheer's 3rd lp is having an album released that Classic Rock magazine suggests might have been the first heavy metal record ever released beating Black Sabbaths debut by a couple of months. If it actually had been released.

I'm a little late to this conversation. In Fall of '67,
I was a freshman in college, in North Carolina. I was bombarded by soul music and the usual pop artists. The Duke radio station played Blue Cheer doing "Summertime Blues". My spirits lifted and my world of music expanded. Whatever you want to call their type of music, I sought it out then and I continued to do so. Thank you, Blue Cheer.
fantastic! Cheers Boboli!
[love your pre-made pizza crusts btw ... I kid U!]
as a fan boy ... I first heard & saw them on American Bandstand
it made me sit up and exclaim:
"what the hell was that? what did I just hear? who ARE those guys?!!"
nobody that I had heard was playing anything remotely like that
some may say 'thank heavens for THAT' but it was pretty revelatory to me
nice to see there's still some love for the fast loud n' proud
with regards,
