Things You Should Know About Heavy Metal
I know that most of us know about it. But still, many people out there just don't know it.The only metal genre that is satanic is black metal. (Not all bands though). But anyway, Heavy Metal isn't Black Metal. So not really to worry.
It's stupid to believe any genre of music is Evil or Satanic.
No one even knows if any devil exists but no genre of music is Satanic.
Notice you downvoted comment. Doesn't change facts, one of which is that noise is composed of notes. Therefore, the fact that something is composed of notes (the argument in question) does not mean it's not noise. Likewise, therefore, something composed of notes is not necessarily music.
ALL sounds are notes. All can be measured as within an audio range, or soundwave frequency. Something is not "music" simply because it is composed of notes and chords, unless one has an unlimited definition of "music," which would obviously be no definition at all.
I agree with Metalthomas' comment that he said about the techniques in solos. However these techniques are also available in genres like hard rock, blues, prog rock etc. But as for heavy metal, these are even better.
It's basically the same thing.
Metal or heavy metal isn't just about loudness. Check some tapping heavy metal guitar solos.
I am not saying who created heavy metal and who haven't. I am just saying that these bands are credited to be the first heavy metal bands. While from what I heard most American critics credited Led Zeppelin and most English critics credited Black Sabbath.
