There can be a lot of conflict on this but, technicly: Black Sabbath. Some people say Jimi Hendrix, but that dont make sense to me. There IS a difference between psychodelic rock and metal. There are way to many Metal Bands to count anymore. Metal has become a product of society and been catogorized into different genres, but metal is one thing: Expression. Metal was killed by Grunge, and hip hop screwed everyone into a submission, for a while. But people now fuse metal and rap, ala Otep.
"weapones" used by metal artist have to sound good, and must have a good look to them too. The to three metal guitars, as voted in a big pll are as follows:
1.) Gibson Les Paul
2.) darn, forgot this one
3.) B.C. Rich Warlock
number four is th Gibsn SG, which was used by Tony Iommi in Sabbath, which i think means Satans Guise, but i could be wrong. A lot of modern metal is down-tuned mayhem, usually a seven string.
