I liked Dio as well, but he was a bit theatrical. I gave him a nickname that always stuck with my friends: satanic midget

Was Motorhead around in the 70s? They're an 80s band for me. Heh, mmmmmmMoterhead rules with an iron fist!
My FAVORITE 70s "hard rock" band = Sex Pistols. Nevermind the Bollocks is brilliant. Along with Sabbath, they have to be the most influential bands of all time.
Zepplin is amazing, but they didn't spark new offshoots of R&R (metal & punk) |
Yeah, Motorhead came out in 1976. They did 4 or 5 albums with Lemmy, Phil Taylor, and Fast Eddie Clarke. It's fast, kinda post-punk, the riffs are all pretty much straight rock hooks, just fast. But it's not the grind-it-out metal of their newer stuff. IMO, they abandoned the raw, amphetamine-induced sound for a more methodical, technique-oriented metal that everybody else in the early 80's was doing.
I really don't like their post-1980 stuff, because they basically replaced Eddie with 2 guitarists and went off into strictly metal.
