The influence of Motorhead also stretches well beyond metal boundaries as well, but thats another story. |

Anyways, W.A.S.P. is easily the greatest metal band of all time. Okay maybe not. But seriously at least watch from 0:05 to 0:35 on that video. Pure awesomeness.

well actually... from the top of the 2nd page after i brought up Motorhead right at the start
so yeah... the person that legitimately matters the most in regards to Motorhead is THE person who would be most against you on this claim. |

ok sorry about that. sometimes I don't read any pages besides the first and last, especially when I'm only looking for an excuse to bring up hair metal. I guess I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to Motorhead, only liking a couple songs by them. I respect Lemmy for finding and bedding over 1000 women who were willing to overlook the mole. But still, if Lemmy didn't say Motorhead were a rock 'n' roll band, people who knew about them would always call them metal.

I took it he was talking about Motorhead but looking again it could have easily been Zeppelin. Anyways its the case of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Blue Oyster Cult, UFO, Scorpions, AC/DC etc all being regarded as heavy groups in the 1970`s (which they were) it was only by the time of post NWOBHM that the labels came in of who was metal and who wasn`t. As a footnote and a general rule of thumb, if there was a blues influence which a load of those groups had then they weren`t metal but hard rock. Also the twin lead guitar which both Judas Priest and later Iron Maiden had was very much an early metal trait and the Scorpions definitely had this.
