Motorhead is one of the oldest bands still playing which is well known as a 'heavy metal' band. Way back in the year 2000 they recorded a song with the lyrics: 'We are the first and we just still might be the last 'relating to their music. They started in the late seventies, so Ok...
Tonight I watched some footage from the 2015 Wacken Metal Festival. The band Judas Priest played. This band started in Birmingham about the same time as Black Sabbath depending how you count it, though it didn't get signed till many years later. But two of the original members of that band were playing Wacken this year, who were definitely in the band in the 60s: Ken Downing and Ian Hill.
They were the first and they might yet be the last performers of metal. *raises my glass ti Ian Hill and KK*
