Anyway.
Lemmy himself said in 2010:
"We were not heavy metal," he snaps. "We were a rock'n'roll band. Still are. Everyone always describes us as heavy metal even when I tell them otherwise. Why won't people listen?"

I guess we have to find something else to name the new heavy metals.

Hmmm. Ledzeppelinium:)

That would be a cool name. I could get behind that. Although I am not sure I would enjoy trying to pronounce it.

Seems like the idea of naming a heavy metal element to Ledzeppelinium is not new:)
http://cenblog.org/2009/07/element-112%E2%80%99s-likely-to-be-called-copernicium/

For fun, after learning that IUPAC gave the nod to GSI for discovering element 112—and the privilege of naming that superheavy element, the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Chemistry World blog invited readers to propose names of their own for the short-lived bugger.
Readers had a field day. They came up with helvetium, emergencium, darwinium, zlatan, terrorismus, fibonaccium, and bloodymindium. One reader suggested ledzeppelinium, “because it’s a heavy metal” the entry said. Which reminds me… Almost 25 years ago when I worked for the chemistry department at Cleveland State prepping the undergrad analytical lab, I set out a waste-collection bottle labeled “for heavy-metal types like Zeppelin, Sabbath, and AC/DC.” Besides the T.A., maybe two kids found it funny.
I kind of like the ledzeppelinium idea. But copernicium certainly has a nice ring to it. Anyhow, as one of the other Chemistry World bloggers noted, “Anything’s better than ununbium.”

Well, calling an element for Zlatan that's very far fetched:)

if I've known about "pissing contest" about signing those name this topic will come to...going out, before I say something less "forum friendly"... :/
