Document Summary
The early 1970s: singer-songwriters, funk, and heavy metal. Hard rock and heavy metal: led zeppelin and black sabbath. Origins in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Emerging from the fragmentation of blues-infused rock music. Relationship between blues-based rock and psychedelic rock created the foundation for heavy metal. London blues-rock scene, the riff-oriented songs of bands like the who and the kinks, and the improvisation of psychedelic rock eventually came together to form a genre that would be the antithesis of singer-songwriter soft rock . The kinks - you really got me (1964) Cream: guitar, bass, double bass drum. Key characteristics: extreme amplification of guitar o. Instruments are faster, louder, harder than most other forms of rock. *power chord: root and fifth of a chord magnified by distortion. Bands such as led zeppelin, black sabbath, and deep purple were distinct from other blues revival bands because of their less reverent attitude towards the blues.
