Did the Beatles invent heavy metal when they made Helter Skelter?

I'd actually suggest people like Mozart were the pioneers when they made compositions which were fast from start to end, as opposed to slow and fast sections with bridges which acted as the chorus/reprise.

Queen have been suggested as being one of the pioneers of thrash.

The roots of metal a pretty varied.

For modern metal (ie 80s/90s onwards) it's the likes of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin etc. and there are definitely classical and punk influences as well. Taking a step back, the aforementioned bands are heavily influenced by blues and the earlier forms of rock that were starting to develop in the 50s and 60s, with the classical aspect also being there. Wagner is imo one of the main influences as far as classical goes, he wrote very evil sounding music, very big, very grand. Very awesome.

Yet it brought with it some of the most skilled, yet underrated, musicians of all time. Give me the 80s stuff over the sh*t of the 90s and a lot of todays music. A lot of bands from the 80s never got the respect they deserved because of they way they dressed and acted.

yeah the 80's had 2 forms of metal

Commercial and Underground

The latter was distinctly better but was barely ever heard if at all, only really Metallica and eventually Nirvana were the only known bands to really emerge from the underground.

Both became Commercial in the end.

In saying that, I still quite like their music, bands like Poison were no more Metal than Queen. They were Glam Rock/Pop, just like Bon Jovi who, for a time, was considered Metal as well.

I've been listening to Heaven and Hell by black sabbath recently. I must say they are a completely different band when someone that can actually sing is fronting them. I like the Ozzy Sabbath, but Dio completely blows him out of the water. Love it.

Just going to plug a band I'm liking at the moment.

Vesania (http://www.myspace.com/godthelux) are a Polish Symphonic Black Metal (Black Metal with Keyboards) band, the lead singer/guitarist is Orion, who plays bass in Behemoth. They play a pretty odd style, kinda like going to a metal circus, but it's very cool. Not my usual sort of style (I'm mostly into death metal) but nevertheless, their album Distractive Killusions is a very enjoyable listen. Check out their myspace link above.

You're right about metal circus...though I can certainly hear large dollops of DM amongst the few that I listened to on their myspace page.
