Since he is often credited with being the first rock critic to use the term \"heavy metal\" in a musical context, having his band cover the song that famously contains the lyric \"heavy metal thunder\" served as a definitive branding move.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
