I should have known a barrage of harrassment was to follow my post. You don't see me tearing into your music do you? No. Now I could go on, being a metalhead this stuff royally pisses me off, but I don't really care.

And on the note of Classical > Metal in technicallity and grace and all of that generic happy crap, I bet you've never seen a metal drummer any more underground than Jeoy Jordison. There are metal musicians that have played since they were small children, and have just as much experience and mastery at their work as any musician that you speak of. Now before you even say it, the vocalists indeed have incredible amounts of talent, and if you think you can argue that, than I would like to hear you attempting to pass even anything REMOTELY similiar in sound past your lips. Go on, try.

Guess I went on didn't I?

I don't personally listen to THAT much metal, but I do agree with this. If you give it a chance, you can see SOME bands that really do have a lot of skill in their instruments. Randy Rhoads and Yngwie (spelling?) Malsteem are both amazing at their instruments (and Yngwie plays sped up classical music BTW)

I personally love almost all forms of rock. It's all I ever learn to play on guitar.

 

[Escher]

Randy Rhoads and Yngwie (spelling?) Malsteem are both amazing at their instruments.

randy rhoads is RIDICULOUS. i love him those two ozzy albums are the only metal i will ever attest to liking, simply because of him.

'dee' by him is great too, for those who like classical guitar

and that reminds me - 'friday night in san francisco'... best guitar playing ever?

 

[bamman1108]

To be honest, never heard it before Escher, but I looked it up and it was AMAZING!!! Thanks for showing me that.

First of all I'm a guitar player. I listen to rock, rock 'n' roll and a lot of blues. Also I like listening to classical music and jazz...

Because I didn't see any blues videos here(except Im missing something), I'll post some of my favorites:


Stevie Ray Vaughan:
Lenny(Amazing piece, stunning! Thats what feeling means. Just close your eyes and listen to it...)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEp2QLicd9Y

Texas Flood(Thats some amazing blues)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWLw7nozO_U


OK, now some of the masters together:

I'm a classically trained violin professional and I appreciate metal a lot. After reading your post, it seems like you think that metal does not have technique or musicality. That is absolutely a mistake. There are times I play violin more than I sleep but no matter how much I play, there are feelings and emotions I cannot find. Not because I'm not good enough, but because classical music doesn't present them very often.

Metal to me isn't the stereotypical "uncivilized violence" you mentioned earlier. It gives me a complete picture of the spectrum and offers unbounded emotion and raw passion, which to me is a rare thing in classical music. Sure, you can enjoy the graceful and pleasing classical music but life isn't always graceful and pleasing. There is something missing from that and I think metal captures it perfectly.

I talked way too much. Here are two of my favorite bands.

I used to not like metal much because it was "noisy" but after listening to stuff like this things changed

Classical isn't always graceful and pleasing either. For example the Toccata & Fugue from Bach is just evil I can enjoy all types of emotion in classical music. (Well maybe not ALL like sadism or stuff like that, I mean joy, grief, misery, anger, passion, love etc.)

It's maybe because metal is generally too loud to listen for me. Everyone thinks of silent and peaceful melodies when they think of Classical, which is far beyond wrong.

im actually obsessed with radiohead. and the video is pretty funny

also, if you dont like a little crass humour (look out for justin timberlake!) - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4

oh, and this

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uKJeLG8-M5I

I luuuurve radiohead... But I also lovve Oasis and Archive. Anyone?

 

[(X)]

I think this sounds better than the orchestra version, but I like both metal and some clasical like Vivaldi, Metal and clasical have many things in common

Such as? I can't stand the high volume screaming and guitar playing in metal music.

If I was to compare metal to classical, it's like when you are fighting with someone, the metal way would be to destroy your enemy with punches and kicks, leaving him in blood. The classical way would be an aikido-like style, you don't see any blood and it's more pleasing to the eye (or ear in this case). You don't use your strength, you use your technique and musicality. If your technique is right, you will defeat the enemy easily, without even getting tired or letting him attack you.

And here, metal music listeners would be the crowd that enjoy the brutal fighting. (That's the impression I'm getting)

Have you ever heard a guitar solo? You cant say that a guitar solo isn't similar to clasical music

 

[nitrocan]

Umm, I don't know, maybe I don't like loud electric guitars and screams.

 

[d4m4s74]

to all classical music lovers what do you think of Vanessa Mae?
some people say she destroys classical music, others say she makes it better and brings it to a new audience

Example: Toccata & Fugue

 

[nitrocan]

I doubt that she makes it better for anyone. I don't see any dynamics in that performance. She just added some other instruments and there are some techno additions.

This might be a better example of taking something further (or maybe not taking it further, couldn't find the word there):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPcnGrie__M and then:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOo_IZypu6U (pay attention to the dynamics)

 

[Garmon]

Metal players have loads of talent, and what about instrumental metal? Wheres the screaming in that?

 

[Rama]

Maybe something for Rama? Old swedish stuff, this song was also later recorded by Jimmy hendrix.

Classic swedish Jazz:

Tielman Brothers, known for starting out slowly, but after a while you will notice they belong in a zoo.

The Crazy Rockers, another Indo-Rock band performing My Bonnie.

For the surfer Joe,
Point Panic! HAHAHAHAHAHa! <-- awesome solo's.

AND,
Wipe Out! HAHAHAAHHa!!!! <-- Notice how Mel Taylor (the drummer) rocks out without having a gazillion piece drum-kit.

Bassist is ripping it up on the second part: Let The Sunshine.
Original version, Joe Osborn on the bass here.

Look 6 songs without 8th note Root C**P.
