[QUOTE="retzam:434842"]ShadowSD said:[QUOTE]retzam said:[QUOTE]even acts like Hendrix and Zeppelin were sometimes referred to as heavy metal.[/QUOTE] True, but that was only in the case of people who didn't understand the difference between metal and rock. This confusion was aggrevated by the fact that there were bands in the 70's like Aerosmith and Kiss that played a good amount of both rock songs and metal sibgs, followed by bands like Tesla and Bon Jovi in the 80's that did the same. Although some such cases are ambigious, when it comes to classifying a band, it usually works to call them what they play the majority of the time. Like Zepplin, for instance: the majority of their stuff was rock, although they dabbled in many other genres, including metal; therefore they are a rock band, and calling them a metal band is misleading. Poison played mostly rock and only a little metal, therefore they were a rock band with a couple metal tunes, NOT a metal band. Bands like Ratt and Motley Crue were the opposite, metal bands that played a rock song here and there. Anyone who really listens to the music can tell the difference between rock song and a metal song, it's not rocket science, but the fact that there are bands that have played both still confuses the language, unfortunately. [/QUOTE] Well, you missed the whole point of my post. Back then it was all relative. In 1973 Zeppelin was one of the heaviest bands around, so they were some times called metal. Whether they are or are not metal by today's standards is irrelavent.[/QUOTE]
