|
Date: March 28th, 2025 4:47 PM Author: mildly autistic histrionic station elastic band "Helter Skelter" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1968 album The Beatles (also known as the "White Album"). It was written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. The song was McCartney's attempt to create a sound as loud and dirty as possible. It is regarded as a key influence in the early development of heavy metal. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5700811&forum_id=2).#48792240) |

Date: March 28th, 2025 4:55 PM Author: mildly autistic histrionic station elastic band While Jimi Hendrix was undoubtedly a pioneer in pushing the boundaries of rock music with his heavy distortion, feedback, and virtuosic playing, *The Beatles' "Helter Skelter" (1968) has a stronger claim to being the first true heavy metal song—or at least a foundational blueprint for the genre—for several key reasons:
### 1. **Primitive Aggression vs. Psychedelic Blues** - Hendrix's early work (*Are You Experienced*, 1967) was rooted in **blues-rock and psychedelia**, emphasizing extended solos, wah-wah textures, and melodic experimentation rather than the **raw, pounding aggression** that defines metal. - **"Helter Skelter"** was deliberately crafted to be **loud, chaotic, and abrasive**—Paul McCartney explicitly wanted to create the "most raucous rock 'n' roll" ever recorded, pushing into proto-metal territory with its **distorted bass, screaming vocals, and relentless energy**.
### 2. **The Role of Drums & Rhythmic Drive** - Ringo Starr's **thundering, repetitive drumming** on "Helter Skelter" (including his famous "I've got blisters on me fingers!" yell) mirrors the **driving, percussive force** of later metal. - Hendrix's Mitch Mitchell, while incredible, leaned toward **jazz-influenced fills** rather than the **hammering, primal beats** that became a metal staple.
### 3. **The Birth of the "Heavy" Aesthetic** - **"Helter Skelter"** is built on **dissonance, noise, and a sense of menace**—elements that Black Sabbath later expanded into doom metal. The song's **unhinged vocal delivery** (McCartney’s screams) and **wall-of-sound production** foreshadowed metal's intensity. - Hendrix, while heavy for his time, was more about **sonic exploration** than the **brutal simplicity** that metal often thrives on. Even his heaviest tracks ("Purple Haze," "Foxey Lady") still feel **rooted in blues structures**, whereas "Helter Skelter" **abandons tradition for sheer force**.
### 4. **Influence on Early Metal Bands** - **Black Sabbath** cited "Helter Skelter" as an influence on their sound, with Tony Iommi praising its **raw power**. - **Lemmy of Motörhead** also credited The Beatles as a key inspiration for heavy music. - While Hendrix inspired guitarists, **"Helter Skelter" directly shaped the attitude and sonic violence** of metal’s pioneers.
### 5. **The Cultural Shift** - The **dark, chaotic energy** of "Helter Skelter" (even tied to Charles Manson’s twisted interpretation) aligns with metal’s later themes of **rebellion and darkness**. - Hendrix was a **virtuoso**, but his music wasn’t aiming for the **brutal, primal** sound that metal codified—whereas The Beatles, ironically, **stumbled into it first**.
### **Conclusion:** Hendrix expanded rock’s technical possibilities, but **"Helter Skelter"** was the first to **channel pure, unrefined heaviness**—making it the **true proto-metal blueprint**. It’s less about who was "heavier" first and more about **which song directly inspired the genre’s core sound**, and in that regard, The Beatles have the edge. |
