Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #4

Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf etc, were very instrumental in the genesis of Hard Rock & Heavy Metal. The Blues is the foundation for Rock & Roll and all it's children. If you want a little proof just listen to any Hard Rock group from the 1970's, Free, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, Mountain, The Jeff Beck Group, Humble Pie, and more played a Heavy Blues/ Hard Rock that morphed into the Traditional Heavy Metal of bands like Thin Lizzy and UFO.

With a very quick search, I couldn't find any info on B.B. King's piano player Kato, if any one could elaborate a little please leave the info in the comments section.

Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #3

17 nonconsecutive weeks at the #1 spot of The Billboard Hot 200, that's what Quiet Riot's Metal Health did for The Police's Synchronicity. The Police had toppled Michael Jackson's Thriller & Quiet Riot ended that reign. The time at the top was short as Lionel Richie's Can't Slow Down would end it a week later. Quiet Riot was the first Heavy Metal band to have a #1 album and a Top 5 Hit in the same week when "Cum On Feel the Noize" spent 2 weeks on The Billboard Hot 100 at #5. This set is from Quiet Riot's tour for Condition Critical the follow up to Metal Health and the beginning of the decline for the band as it failed to measure up to Metal Health's success. Further releases also failed to hit the sales of Metal Health and the band broke up . They reunited in the 1990's and are active now even though Kevin DeBrow died from a cocaine overdose November of 2007.

Flotsam & Jetsam formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1981. The band gained a following and soon drew the attention of Metal Blade Records owner Brian Slagel who signed them to a recording contract. The band appeared on Metal Massacre VII and released their debut album Doomsday For The Deceiver on Metal Blade Records. The band toured and was gaining momentum when the death of Cliff Burton put the brakes on. Jason Newsted auditioned for and won the open bass spot in Metallica. The band quickly found a fill in and continued on. This gig is actually historic for the reason that after Flotsam & Jetsam's set was over Metallica took the stage for their first gig with Jason Newsted on bass.
