All you people are doing is putting up two arbitrary videos of two arbitrary styles of rock and metal and acting like they are in any way relevant.

Metal is a type of rock music that features harsh-sounding blues elements. In metal, the vocals are very hard to hear. Rock music is just rock.

So why are metal gods like Dio so easy to understand?

Rocks you find in the ground and metals you find on the Periodic table.

Are you dizzy? Have you ever HEARD pioneering bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest? They're not that hard to understand?

Tony iommi himself said Black Sabbath isn't a Heavy metal band or Metal band


I think he said we are just a rock band

There's a lot of debate on that, and I'd consider Black Sabbath a hard rock/acid rock band. But they are one the bands with the most impact on the genre, and most later metal bands cite Black Sabbath as a huge influence.
