What is your favorite type of music?  Mine is heavy metal.
I like most genres of music, but out of everything, I listen to pop the most. I like metal on occasion.
Heavy metal started in the late 1960s.
That's super interesting. What was the context of its origin?
It's origin is blues rock and acid rock.  It developed into a thick massive sound.  A lot of distortion!
That makes sense. I played electric guitar in high school, so I can see how it would have developed from that
Have you heard of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple?
I've heard of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, but Deep Purple doesn't sound familiar
most famous pioneers, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple were founded. Though they came to attract wide audiences, they were often derided by critics. Following the blueprint laid down by Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, several American bands modified heavy metal into more accessible forms during the 1970s: the raw, sleazy sound and outrageous stage shows of Alice Cooper and Kiss; the blues-rooted rock of Aerosmith; and the flashy guitar leads and wild party rock of Van Halen. During the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur
ourselves and find new inspiration to add a different layer to what we do. It's particularly challenging when you've had so many records, but when I showed Myles what I was thinking, he absolutely loved it and was on board right away."
