`  I've never disputed the fact that several bands (just like with any genre) were at the forefront of creating it... Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Blue Cheer, etc (most of which aren't even on the so called ``metal archive`` website) are all very important early heavy metal bands... all forming during the late 60s, at around the same time. That is why I don't see the point in providing that quote, or how it relates to the debate.   And you can speak for the entire so called ``community`` when you say ``we know who Blue Cheer are``?... very, very doubtful, and of course you can provide no citation to such a claim. The target auidence is Burzum fans, not the original heavy metal bands. Not that any of this has anything to do with the debate at hand. As I said, all you are offering is redundant chit chat here.. which has nothing to do with the topic at hand; the article. -  `
