RE: Auteur Theory
I would argue that the first metal song is Helter Skelter by the Beatles. I would also argue that with this song and others, it seems that different artists inadvertently help to form another genre. For example, Chuck Berry’s Johnny B. Goode sounds almost like a precursor to punk pop or punk rock bands like Green Day, based on how the drums and guitar are played. Even though the drums on Berry’s song seem to be played with a swing beat, it can easily be replaced with a punk rock percussion sound. Great podcast!

All the concepts are worth exploring here, I just wish that they’d expand the discussion beyond classic rock. Soul/funk/rnb/hiphop is only occasionally mentioned tangentially, but they never actually dedicate time to those topics other than to acknowledge their existence.

I love both of these channels and for them to get together and talk makes me smile. They are both geniuses in my head.

Hi! I love this show and both of your YouTube channels. I was wondering if you have any resources that would offer more information on western tonality’s role in European imperialism. I assume Rameau’s work played a role, but beyond that I’m lost on where to look. Let me know! Thanks.
