Who invented metal music?

Who was the first metal band?

authorities will disagree with who the very first metal band was- personally I believe black sabbath was the first- but there is steppenwolf- who actually coined the words'heavy metal' in born to be wild, and then there is the debacle which occurred on the music award show some years ago, where jethro tull received the award for best metal band, over metallica- that was quite a crock- but oh well.
I guess my answer would be black sabbath- quite dark for their time, with some cool guitar riffs and bass lines- as well as ozzy and tony's dark lyrics.

Heres a link, it has a lot of information about metal music:

I have to agree with baldwinwolf on this one

okay I have to say this, your mom is so fat that when her thighs scrap against one another the sound that it made was the first metal music

Um black sabbath and led zepplein

thats pretty hard to say actually...sure thers black sabbath but they were influencd by other bands too...and no doubt some of them would have played what would have been considered metal back then

jp20fb you're pathetic. Was a pretty lame attempt of being witty.
Thanks everyone else.

wow...ummm a lot of bands helped on the evolution of heavy metal like Jimmi Hendrix,Crean,Led Zeppeling, and other ones but the first band to call them true heavy metal is Black Sabbath...cause heavy metal includes dark lyrics and loud heavy riffs thats why black sabbath is the first

wow lighten up, it was a joke. get some sense of things funny. aybe you could watch comedy central, and stop being a b!TCH
