I would have to say Motorhead. But this isn't really considered a Metal band today but in the 70's they were pretty "heavy", Led Zeppelin.

Whether they are considered a proper metal band or not is irrelevant! Lemmy`s influence on the metal scene especially in the late 70`s and early 80`s is huge. A major player in the NWOBHM scene, a major influence on Thrash and also the speed metal scene which I`d say they invented (they played faster material before Judas Priest got around to doing it, another band credited with the speed metal creators) and they were a major influence on the German speed metal bands of the time, such as Helloween and Blind Guardian etc These groups in turn would became highly influential with their European power metal sound.

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

xEMGx was actually talking about Led Zeppelin I think. Who wouldn't consider Motorhead a metal band?

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.

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.

agreed. there's a reason i brought up Motorhead too hehe. as far as influencing metal there's no denying their place. we just apparently can't call them metal. hahaha

You can not tell the history of metal without mentioning Motörhead, they are a essential.

hmm, maybe I should make a pool with the bands that were suggested alot in this thread.

****ing right mate. Priest was everything metal needed. Slayer robots, motorcycles, spikes, leather, and a **** ton of screaming axes. PLUS ROB ****ING HALFORD.
