Początkowy, lecz już wyraźnie ukształtowany heavy metal, można zaobserwować w muzyce grup Led Zeppelin i Black Sabbath. Jeśli chodzi o korzenie, to jedni upatrują prototypu utworu heavymetalowego w piosence The Beatles "Helter-Skelter" (z Białego Albumu) lub The Kinks "You Really Got Me", inni zaś za pierwsze utwory protoheavymetalowe uznają przeboje grupy The Dave Clark Five, szczególnie "Any Way You Want It" i "Glad All Over" z 1964 roku. Zresztą nurt zapoczątkowany przez The Dave Clark Five nazywa się heavy drum albo heavy bass, od ciężkiego, hałaśliwego i agresywnego brzmienia.

You could tame a tiger baby, can't you see... might not be enough, for me... ohhhhhh, ohh yeah...

You were alone, when you were falling... heaven knows, the chips are falling now... all alone... cause you love me... I let it go... and you kept going... you kept going...

You'll be waiting 'round forever... if you're waiting 'round on me... you could light the world on fire... if you could ever light me... yeahh...

In the middle of a thousand people, oh yeah... you will only see me...

You could have a thousand lovers, oh yeah... it will always be me...

Ohhhhhh, ohh yeah... opony Handwerkersoftware laparoskopia lg hair removal london
