>Sabbath are the only early metal band that mattered
Deep Purple has the first galloping metal riff in Hard Lovin' Man and they pioneered neoclassical metal on "Highway Star", that alone puts them in the "highly influential" category.

Buzzword buzzword, words that buzz incessantly. Why not talk like a human being, yeah?

If you mean double bass drumming, they didn't introduce it. Deep Purple first used it on Fireball, and Judas Priest used it on Exciter a full year before Overkill.
>In other words: yes, it was too advanced for me.
This is how people with an ego the size of Jupiter speak, yes.
