It's a mess

This article is terribly flawed. Glam Metal and Grunge are distinct genres from hard rock, and should not be included in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.131.154.247 (talk) 10:35, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Beatles

The Beatles were experimentalists. It's a cop out to state that Helter Skelter was an embarrassment. It could be construed as the very first heavy metal song, as opposed to hard rock. The song, Birthday, also on the White album, was a hard number. With the masculinity involved in the subculture of hard rock/heavy metal, there would perforce be an emotional need to discredit the Beatles' contributions to the genre making it understandable yet inaccurate.107.221.229.121 (talk) 17:30, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
