Is Birmingham, England the birthplace of heavy metal? Given that it spawned the founding fathers of the genre -- Black Sabbath -- and soon afterwards, Judas Priest, it seems that the British industrial town can lay claim to that title. Radio.com spoke to Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour), Jason Newsted (formerly of Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne's band), Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains, as well as industry experts Jon Wiederhorn and Katherine Turman (co-authors of "Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History Of Metal"), Howie Abrams (co-author of "The Merciless Book Of Metal Lists"), and media personality Zeena Koda, along with the "Metal God" himself, Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford about the town, the bands who emerged from it, and their continued relevance today. October is Metal Month on Radio.com. Read more here: [ Ссылка ]
