Question: what is the first metal band in the early 60's.....????? 

Answer: A lot of people point to Black Sabbath as the first true metal band.  They built upon the heavier sounds of Cream, Blue Cheer and Vanilla Fudge, but they didn't start recording until the late 60's.  Metal didn't really begin until the 70's though.
