if you think about time periods of "heavyness" man the sex pistols were heavy for the 70's
just thought ide slip that in there.

Very cool to see so many different versions of 'heavy'...all valid!

Just proves that we define heaviness purely on a personal level. There is no standard.

Good stuff!

That just got me thinking about MC5 and the Kinks, which for their time were very heavy bands, I think the Kinks released their first stuff in 1965 (could be wrong though), and MC5 were not far behind.

Dont know anyone of them...

Ya gotta know the Kinks. "You, you really got me going, you got me so i don't know what i'm doing"

How about heaviest guitar tone? For a good long time, the benchmark was Scott Ian's on Speak English Or Die.

Very true, "March of the SOD" is still one of the heaviest guitar tones that I have ever heard.

War Pigs!

Sunn 0))) or Electric Wizard

War Pigs!

Are you talking about "heaviest guitar tone" now? - When Iommi hits the first chord it's a fucking heavy moment, oh yeah. Otherwise, I think the whole production of Sab's Paranoid is a bit... thin.

I know, it was in 1970. But one year later, Master Of Reality had a much thicker sound (especially the guitars)

Btw, ever checked out Faith No More's War Pigs-cover? Great one.

Yeah i'm talking about that first bit.

And ywah, Faith No More do a fucking blisteringly good cover of War Pigs. Nice fat production and it sounds great when all beefed up.

However, many years ago i saw Korn play, and they were supported by Puddle Of Mudd. And THEY did a cover of War Pigs! THEY HAD NO RIGHT!!

portishead is kinda heavy too, wouldnt you say?
