Black Sabbath still reign supreme as possibly the first heavy metal band.
But it's just an historical fact that The Nile Song by Pink Floyd was the heaviest thing known in rock before them, and possibly for a while after Black Sabbath as well.
Morrissey is a pop musician who later opened up a chain of supermarkets.

I just noticed this yesterday evening, but didn't had time to share it on the fediverse. The full (21m41s!!!) remastered 12 inch version of America!
I have this on vinyl since its release in October 1985. Instead of other 12'' singles (aka maxi singles), you have to play this on 33⅓ rpm (instead of 45). Let's hope that this means that the Prince Estate finally continues releasing Super Deluxe sets, Around The World In A Day Super Deluxe in this case. Because this is remastered by Bernie Grundman my hopes are high.

Absolute nonsense showing Sam Cutting in front of a Canadian landscape but very clearly a cut-out on a chopstick in front of a greenscreen giving the distinct impression the videographer is an idiot.
@vruz I found that not all the performances were the best. Notably, Axel Rose doesn't seem to be able to step down to the lower octaves any more. But I agree that everyone seemed to be bringing their all for Ozzy.
@jonw I thought that in some important ways Guns'n'Roses brought to the table something they must have lost somewhere along the way in the late 1980s: It wasn't all bells and whistles -although there was one big, literal whistle too– it was almost a power trio plus two, with a sound that very closely resembled their magnum opus. I think they displayed dignity and restraint they rarely show on stage. Possibly a one off for them, never shown before.
@vruz I guess I missed Steven Tyler. I saw him around but didn't see him perform.
@jonw I'm not a big fan of his, but I've gotta say that Steven's joint performance of Whole Lotta Love with Tom Morello's gang was top quality, like every musician involved actually cared. Something I never felt about Aerosmith, for example.

Remarkable cover of Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love, with Steven Tyler, Tom Morello, Nunoo Bettencourt, Chad Smith, and others.
One for the history books.
Nuno Bettencourt (who's originally from Portugal) is on stage right now and he has just sent a warm message to fans of Diogo Jota and to everyone in Portugal.
Nuno is playing in Birmingham today at Black Sabbath's (final) farewell concert.
