* FaceOfTheBand: David Byron was this for a long time until his departure (precipitated by his alcohol problems) was forced by Ken Hensley. Now it's probably Mick Box.

Added DiffLines:

* SugarWIki/AwesomeArt: Whereas most US alterations of British records suck, the US cover of the band's debut certainly does not. The new cover is a silvery illustration of a giant [[EldritchAbomination snake-dragon]] [[BuffySpeak thing]] that wouldn't look out of place in an early [[TabletopGame/DungeonsandDragons D&D]] campaign. The fact that the art stretches across the back and can be unfolded into one large portrait makes it extra awesome.

* HarsherInHindsight: "Stealin'" contains this lyric: "All that fightin', killin', wine and those women, gonna put me to an early grave." Two of the performers on that song ''did'' meet early graves: bassist Gary Thain OD'd on heroin at 27; singer David Byron died of "alcohol-related complications" at 38.

* VindicatedByHistory: Their first album, ''...Very 'Eavy ...Very 'Umble'', was met with poor reviews upon release, with Melissa Mills from ''Magazine/RollingStone'' famously saying that she would kill herself if the band actually made it. Its now considered a landmark in the history of rock and metal.

* LoveItOrHateIt: The band is incredibly divisive among listeners. Some view them as incredibly underrated musicians while others view them as Deep Purple knockoffs with below average songwriting, awful falsetto screaming, and average playing.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: In their native UK (and America) they're essentially a cult band, but in Asia and mainland Europe (particularly Germany, entertainingly enough) they retain a strong following and continue to sell out arenas there.
