    All called rock at some stage though,

    Sabbath were metal in the day but music scenes change and things get put in other categories.
    You couldnt have Sabbath and a modern metal band in the same categoty

    To be fair, rock originates from blues (as does most music) but in the sense that rock tunes (usually) follow the pattern of a twleve bar blues riff.

    A complete waste of a potentially great band. Que and ACDC both played one song each. All the rest of their stuff seems to be the same.

    As far as drummers go, Keith Moon is legend! Zack Starky once said to his dad, Ringo, "Dad, I wanna play the drums just like you!" Ringo said, "No you don't lad, you wanna play like Keith Moon!"

    Keith actually taught Zack how to play drums professionally.
