the ones you mentioned SteveO...are IMO, blues-rock bands, they took blues and made it heavier musically
Iron Maiden...they are hard rock to me, but some of their material does on occasions border metal
KISS...they were labelled "heavy metal" back in the day, yet they were a rockband IMO with some blues rock thrown in for good measure(especially Ace Frehley's early KISS material. i think they only ever made one album that could have blurred the hard rock/metal boundaries and that was "carnival of souls", the one that preceeded it,"revenge" was genuine hard rock to me as was "sonic boom" and their last release,the title slips my mind right now though.
in rock and roll history where can you tracke the roots of hard rock back to...
Beatles "helter skelter" or "revolution"
even some of the Small Faces music was quite heavy for its time also or even earlier with:
Kink's "you really got me"
The Who "my generation"
