Black Sabbath is more dark rock music than it is metal, despite the credit they're given.

I had suspicions, but never before did I have confirmation.

Black Sabbath is unquestionably metal (the downtuned guitars being key), but there's no question that metal has evolved since them. Like every evolutionary tree, the demarcation lines blur. BS still had some blues roots that aren't as present in most subsequent metal.

^ But um... not like it matters. Cool to see the guys back together.

Jeremy I think it is no secret that there is no love between us, but I would still caution you to not go around saying things like "black sabbath is not metal" based on the parameters of today.

That's like saying DOS isn't an operating system because it doesn't have a start button.

You can redefine xyz to mean abc on the p99 forums all you want, but the people who actually lived the terms you're flippantly misusing would probably disagree with you.

100 years from now, Hasbin's grandson and Jeremy's granddaughter are relaxing with a post-coital after-glow and listening to the latest album put out by James Hetfield III and Lars Ulrich IV band Coppertone:

Jeremy's granddaughter: This shit is so metal, reminds me of that crap my grand pappy used to listen to, Black Sunday or some shit like that. That is more like jazz then it is metal. THIS is metal.

HBBs grandson: I think you mean Black Sabbath, and they invented metal sweety. It's just changed over the years

Jeremy's granddaughter: Changed? Whatever all I know is that Coppertone is more metal than Black Sunday ever was.

HBBs grandson: *sigh*.. so you ready for round 2?

Jeremy's granddaughter: You know it.

I <3 fan fiction.

Heavy metal was discovered by butler, iommi, and ward in the run-up to the writing of this album, but it was certainly and definitively introduced to the world at their first reception of the riffing performed at 4:53 in this recording.

<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_GgBx7Y0aso?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_GgBx7Y0aso?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

I defy anyone in the world to come up with a better definition and first appearance of metal than this. This riff is absolutely descriptive of what heavy metal is, and all metal since has drawn most of it's style and form, to this day, from this single piece of music.

Really pretty dark metal imo.

I meant to say "dark rock" ironically, but I was head-bangin' too hard.
