    It was because of him that the term 'heavy metal' was made. I dont remember the exact quote, but it was used to describe his sound.

    Not so much.

    A widespread but disputed hypothesis about the origin of the genre was brought forth by "Chas" Chandler, who was a manager of the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1969, in an interview on the PBS TV programme "Rock and Roll" in 1995. He states that "...it [heavy metal] was a term originated in a New York Times article reviewing a Jimi Hendrix performance," and claims the author described the Jimi Hendrix Experience "...like listening to heavy metal falling from the sky." The precise source of this claim, however, has not been found and its accuracy is disputed.

    Glam Metal: Bon Jovi
    Power Metal: Helloween (Keeper of the seven keys, part 1 & 2)
    Speed Metal: Sonata Arctica (silence, ecliptica)
    Heavy Metal: Iron Maiden (all)
    Doom Metal: Opeth (BlackWater Park, Damnation, Ghost Reveries)
    Death Metal: Deicide (first 2)
    Black Metal: Don't know.
    Gothic Metal: Lacrimosa (any of their first albums)
    Nü Metal: System of a Down is by far the only good one.

    Opeth isn't doom metal, for the record. There are a combination of melodic death metal and prog (more prog towards the later years).
