the innerworkings of metal share a lot in common with classical. The riff, they would call it "ostinato", is very common in many forms of classical. Much of metal has some symphonic elements and like I said, the very idea behind the shred solos we hear in metal are very neoclassical.
Bands that are classical influenced: Deep Purple Rush 99.9% of all power metal bands most Traditional, NWOBHM, and Speed Metal bands (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Rage, Rainbow, Diamond Head) Malmsteen Necrophagist (and other similar Tech Death bands) Symphony X Dream Theater Children of Bodom (and Bodom clones) Dimmu Borgir (and similar bands) a good portion of Black Metal (especially Bathory) any Symphonic/Gothic Metal band Rock; it gets a bit less obvious since it is rooted in Blues. Many prog rock bands though, from what I have heard (like King Crimson, Pink Floyd, ect) take on Classical influences and sound great. Last edited by Muzak; 02-24-2008 at 01:16 PM. |

Still, that = good. Something in imitation of that but with cookie monster vocals on top: odd. Something in imitation of that but with full vibrato operatic vocals: absurd. |

I still dont understand exactly what it is you're getting at in this thread.
I like rock bands that use strings, mainly. Probably because of that I have learned to enjoy bands that are influenced by classical, or work with orchestra's. Given some of the bands that have already been mentioned (I was tempted to mention Bathory and Maiden and also Metallica's S&M album) I'm struggling to understand exactly what it is with classical music you dont like, as it sounds as though what you really dont like are certain vocalists? |

I'm interested in how many people share my sentiments on this matter. It seems, so far, not very many. Sigh. |
