Heavy Metal Turns 40

Heavy metal music turns plus or minus 40 years old this year depending on how you define it. In honor of this, I’ve collected together a few Youtube videos from heavy metal’s early years. Enjoy!

Lucifer’s Friend – Ride in the Sky
Uriah Heep – Sunrise
Deep Purple – Fireball
Budgie – Breadfan
Led Zeppelin – Communication Breakdown
Scorpions – I’m Going Mad
Black Sabbath – Children of the Grave
