From today's standpoint, no.
But that's not the viewpoint they were considered under. In 1969, they were heavy metal.

Nope - they're a (great!!) classic rock band. At least, that's what I think. They might have been considered metal in the late 60's-70's, though. =)

NO! I would consider them more as Acid Rock. Although I'm sure they were a catalyst for Metal...

Yes it was when they first came out and I was listening to them. But that was also back in 1970 so definitions change.

Many influences. Many styles fused together to manifest a wide variety. Influenced many.
