Heavy Metal Music
Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a Music genre, genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and United States. With roots in blues rock, psychedelic rock and acid rock, heavy metal bands developed a thick, monumental sound characterized by distortion (music), distorted guitars, extended guitar solos, emphatic Beat (music), beats and loudness. In 1968, three of the genre's most famous pioneers – British bands Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple – were founded. Though they came to attract wide audiences, they were often derided by critics. Several American bands modified heavy metal into more accessible forms during the 1970s: the raw, sleazy sound and shock rock of Alice Cooper and Kiss (band), Kiss; the blues-rooted rock of Aerosmith; and the flashy guitar leads and party rock of Van Halen. During the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence,Walser (1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The songs include contributions from all members, along with two covers: " Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones and " The Hunter" by Albert King. ''Outsideinside'' reached number 90 on the ''Billboard'' 200 album chart. " Just a Little Bit" was the first single from the album; it peaked at number 92 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 singles chart. Critical reception In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Mark Deming commented: In a review of the two-for-one reissue of the album (coupled with ''Vincebus Eruptum''), Pitchfork's Alexander Lloyd Linhardt noted, "''Outsideinside'' converts their lue Cheer'sstylistic enthusiasm and leathery attitude into structured song.

New! Improved!
''New! Improved!'' is the third album by American rock group Blue Cheer. Released in March 1969 by Philips Records, it is their first without original guitarist Leigh Stephens. The album features songs recorded by two different group lineups: in addition to bassist and vocalist Dickie Peterson and drummer Paul Whaley, side one includes Bruce Stephens (no relation to Leigh) on guitar and Burns Kellogg on keyboards; while side two includes Randy Holden on guitar and vocals. The two lineups contribute very different material. With Holden, the approach is closer to the previous psychedelic hard rock of Blue Cheer albums; with Kellogg and Peterson, they explore more understated blues rock and country rock styles. Also, unlike their earlier albums, Peterson plays a smaller role. Holden wrote and sings the songs on side two, while Kellogg and Stephens contribute most of the material on side one. ''New! Improved!'' was slightly more successful than the group's previous album, '' Outs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
