"mattalas" Close, but I think that it was actually Jimi Hendrix to whom that New York reporter referred to when he said "his music sounds like heavy metal falling from the sky". This I think is where HM in terms of music originated.
The William Burroughs reference precedes all the other "heavy metal" references but was not about music.
Steppenwolf's "heavy metal thunder" of course is the noise that a Harley Davidson makes.
