EP14: The Beatles "(I Want You) She's So Heavy"

from The History of Heavy Podcast

Did the Beatles invent Doom Metal? The Fab Four are not exactly the first group you consider when discussing the history of heavy music but the song that closes Side One of Abbey Road is undeniably the precursor of many a down-tuned guitar to come. From the droning repeated guitar phrase to John Lennon's pained vocal, this ode to Lennon's desire for muse Yoko Ono is as heavy as anything on Black Sabbath's debut which wouldn't be released until four months after the Fabs unleashed their heaviest seven minutes and forty seven seconds.     The History of Heavy Podcast Spotify Playlist  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2qkURdYib8hLz8s20D9yTC?si=1526168526854a62   HHP Social IG: https://instagram.com/the_history_of_heavy   @thehistoryofheavy
