The History of Heavy Metal (1968 - 2023)

Good video but I can’t believe you didn’t mention the Hurrian Hymn which was discovered in the 1950s on a clay tablet inscribed with Cuneiform text and is the oldest surviving melody at over 3,400 years old. Without this there would be no metal. Unsubscribing

"The atmosphere of classical music, the musicianship of jazz, the melancholy of blues, and the flamboyancy of early rock n roll" is a great description of heavy metal

How dare you not mention every single band that has or ever will exist😂

why was Pantera not mentioned once?? they gave us the birth of groove metal and probably was the most influential metal band in the 90´s... it's actually sad how underappreciated they are considering how important they were to the metal scene and metal history in general. they are the reason so many of us got into metal in the first place in the 90´s and 2000´s

I personally love Dio, Ronnie James Dio was such a fantastic singer that never seemed to age, always taking care of himself, no drugs or alcohol. Rest In peace, absolute legend, nothing ever seemed to get him down, he never went too poppy and stuck to what he liked writing.

As owner of a large forest in Norway, I have the responsebility to keep looking for blackmetal bands out to shoot album covers in the wintertime.

So glad you included dio, he's so important to metal and I feel like he doesn't always get the love he deserves

I'm 64 years old. I was there... for all of it (even stationed in Germany and going to festivals/concerts in England). I know you couldn't possibly name all the great bands of the last 55 years, even if you did another 40 minute video where you just started reading names off a list. What you have done here? This is wonderful. It is GLORIOUS. It's also... a great start. You could make a series of videos that focused on a specific era, you could make a series focusing on each genre of metal... And Asian metal, like Ningen Isu... (now, to go look at stuff you've already done...) Back to commenting on this video: \~~/ F**KING AWESOME!!!! BANG YOUR HEEEAAAD!!! \~~/

Cool documentary. I've experienced most of it first hand. It's been a great trip. Looking forward to hearing more material from your project. Good luck on the recording process. 🤘

“Thrash metal took the speed and aggression of punk and combined it with talent.” This made me lol.

I'm just thankful for Iron Maiden.

Wow dude congratulations, I was looking for a metal doc and within 2 secs I was invested - really great job

Really wanna thank you for this video. I’m only getting into metal and this video really helped me to understand the history of the genre and discover new amazing bands. Thanks

I had the best time ever when I was 16 and riding around with my friends listening to Scorpions, Deep Purple, iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

I’m so glad I lived in a time that Heavy Metal existed.

Really fun and informative. You throw in some really funny jokes while still keeping the focus on the music and covering all the key movements and subgenres.

Best video on Metal history. My only regret is you not mentioning Pantera. They single handedly gave birth to the 90s mainstream metal sound along with forming a new genre. Anyway, I hope all the very best for your band 🤘

Ayoo i actually drew those different metalhead types you used somewhere around the 31 minute mark! I've been watching your videos for a while so that's actually pretty cool haha; been a hot minute since i drew those, so glad to see they're still making the rounds. rock on!

The thing I love most about this is the accuracy. I still remember tying my tapes to pigeons and waiting for new music to fly back.

You got me with the sentence: "The greatest Band ever to exist - MOTÖRHEAD".
