In fact I invented what would be commonly termed 'Heavy Metal' back in the late 70's/early 80's. I had been playing in a punk band and was getting a bit bored of what we were doing. By playing the tunes a lot faster and a lot louder it sounded quite good and we did quite a number of gigs around the country. One gig saw a fledgling band called Discharge come to see us and liked the way we played and basically copied us. They in turn were seen by members of Metallica (or whatever they were called then) who took the sound back to the USA and there you have it. I could have been a contender me“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

The Wikipedia page says- "They were influential during the development of hard rock and are considered a forerunner to heavy metal music"
