>>126925571Well, you're right about Motoread, but Judas Priest started out as a second rate Led Zepplin rip off, and not a very good one at that.
It was only later on that the got good when they decided to stop with all the hippy dippy trippy bullshit, and distort te guitars and play fast.
Even then, they didn't invent metal, though, but they most certainly improved on it.
