Nutz were still in thrall to Zeppelin imho, see Lonestar [who i still love] and Quartz who were more Sabbathy.

Maiden, Leppard, Samson etc etcbroke away from metals adherence to the Zep template as did Van Halen, and the often overlooked Judas Priest [inventors of thrash? changed the face of music? more influential than Magazine?], they also were free of the Stones influence[ more so than many punks bands imho]

of course this is reflected in the extremely limited press coverage of the Stones & Zep these days :-)
