I love classic rock, but am not really a fan of Heavy metal music.  I once went to a Motley Crue concert just to win over a guy.  Ugh!
I love heavy metal.  Since it combines blues music with acid rock, I consider even Van Halen to be heavy metal due to  the massive sound, distortion, guitar solos, and overall loudness.
Well, then maybe I like Heavy metal, because I like Van Halen.  What is acid rock?
It grew out of 196's drug culture.  Think of Jimi Hendrix and his distorted guitar solos and long improvised jams.

He only had a 4 year career, but is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time.
4 years isn't very long.  He's such an icon that it seems like his career lasted 100 years!
Yes, he was talented.  Too bad they also call Mohammed Ali the boxer "the greatest".
Lot's of GOATs in this world!

This technique was also very influential on new wave of British heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden. His style has also been an influence on many alternative rock bands, as well
