He was in Black Sabbath. He's got metal cred.

Kids these days don't know what cred is, sadly. "Eww. You like Blue Oyster Cult unironically? What's wrong with you?"

I like Don't Fear the Reaper sincerely and Godzilla ironically though I thought they were about as metal as Jethro Tull until you said some people think they're metal.

Eh. They flirted with some of the concepts of metal, though I don't think it'd be fair to call any of their albums "metal" (though Fire of an Unknown Origin did come pretty close). I just brought them up more along the lines of they're a good, classic band that had their day, but people don't give them credit anymore because they're definitely dated.
