Some of you probably know "heavy metal" is taken from a lyric in Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild". So, what happens if Steppenwolf never forms? Maybe The Sparrows do a little better? Maybe Honda uses a Hondelles record for their commercial, & Steppenwolf quit before cutting a hit?
How does this change rock history? Not at all? Just a new name for "heavy metal"?
(This was inspired by the "No Freebird" thread. For the record, I've never heard "Freebird", either. And no, I hate rap.)
