I love heavy metal music. The genre developed in the late 1960s in the UK.
Who are your favorite bands?
I'm a huge fan of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Both were founded in 1968!
I am a newer fan but doubt it really counts as metal, who is good these days?
I'm more of a fan of the old bands. Heavy metal has its roots in blues rock and psychedelic/acid rock.
That makes sense, it really seemed to boom in the 60s and 70s
Yeah they were super popular with fans, but not so much with critics.
Why is that? Too edgy at the time?
It could be due to the fact that heavy metal lyrics and performances are associated with agression.
