I don't know anything about this "galloping bass" stuff, and I
generally try to avoid heavy metal as much as possible. But I had
always thought that the first heavy metal song was The Kinks' "You
Really Got Me," due to Dave Davies' distorted guitar sound. This
would certainly predate any Who songs.
