get the fuck out with that shit.

Sorry, I think Metal started when Priest created the image of metal and decided there would be no "hit singles" or other bullshit on the record except metal songs.

I think Sabbath was a very heavy hard rock band. Metal started with either Blue Cheer or Steppenwolf or it started later when Metal became it's own thing. I wouldn't consider Sabbath's debut the first metal under any circumstances. It was either earlier or later. Sab have absolutely no claim to that at all either way. Playing in Eb does not make one a metal band.

I mean seriously? People think Zeppelin was metal? that is a stretch at best and Sabbath didn't really become a metal band until they worked with Birch.

I think very little of the 70's was metal at all, no matter how heavy.

We aren't really talking about how heavy something is for that discussion, but if it is metal and I don't think that term could be codified until the early 0's in retrospect.

I think people that think my definition is definitive or their own is is quite stupid. It's an opinion and nothing more.

Someone has been debating with me that it is Sheer Heart Attack or Stone Cold Crazy is.

Is there anything that would be considered faster?

Some other quite fast and heavy Queen songs from the 70s are Dead On Time and Let Me Entertain You, both on the 1978 Jazz album.

Also, White Man(from the 1976 A Day at the Races album) and The Prophet's Song(from the 1975 A Night at the Opera) are among Queen's heaviest tunes from the seventies.

Dunno if you guys know these ones...

The Prophets Song is indeed heavy and probably, along with Achilles Last Stand, one of the most epic songs of the 70's.
