What's the earliest Heavy Metal song?!


Question: My guess is "Helter Skelter" by the Beatles. The reason being is that Cream, Hendrix and Zep were doing "Soup up" Blues.

This song really has no "bluesy" feel to it at all.

But that's my opinion.

    no, I do not think Helter Skelter is heavy metal. I think if you listen to The Who playing live (LIVE AT LEEDS) you will hear some heavy metal music.
    my guess might be by the band frigid pink doing a cover of " house of the rising sun " pretty heavy and still has a psychedelic feel to it..,.,.,good chance you will get ten different answers though.,
    Howlin' Wolf ("I Ain't Superstitious", "Little Red Rooster" , "Smokestack Lightning" , and "The Lemon Song") set the HM stones a rolling

    Eddie Cochran and Bo Diddley also contributed much to what we consider heavy metal.

    The Chaps/The Outlaws (1960) are also a good source for UK blues - and a direct precursor band to Deep Purple.

    John Lennon claimed that The Beatles' "Ticket To Ride" was the first heavy metal song, and I guess you can hear some elements of it there.
