Yoko's early '70s stuff is as proto-metal as it gets.... her bands sound like Ash Ra Tempel or Amon Duul II in their early years.  Great shrieking over Krautrock jams.....never thought I would say this, but I enjoy Yoko's first few albums more than any other Beatle's solo stuff.....and I'm a big George solo fan. 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

John Lennon.  I'm not sure it's quite metal, but I Want You (She's So Heavy) is certainly one of their heaviest songs.  He also wrote, Everybody's Got Something to Hide (except for me and my Monkey) and that has some metal-esque guitar.
More heavy prog, please!

George because of his willingness to use feedback early on.  Also, he was the first guitar hero and you can't have metal without a guitar at the forefront.
a.k.a. H.T.

Paul should win this, but "Helter Skelter" is hardly the "first Metal rock song ever written".
 
Ever hear of Blue Cheer? Or the Amboy Dukes? Or Moby Grape? Come on.

Clap absolutely I mentioned the same somewhere above, to me Helter Skleter was the first metal track ever written :) Paul McCartney was my obvious choice too.
Big hug to you, Bitterblogger Hug

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

If you mean "to you", as in it's the first one you heard, fine. Historically, while early, it is not the first written.

Frankly, I think you could make a case for Black Sabbath starting metal, but since their ideas (besides their muse) came from elsewhere, I'll go with "Seven and Seven Is" by Love, from 1967.
 
I mentioned earlier three other sources one could consider "metal", although I wouldn't argue that they might be instead "hard rock"-- Amboy Dukes' "Young Love", Blue Cheer's "Gimme Love" and Moby Grape's "Hey Grandma", also from 1967.
