By the way, I just realised I forgot to include Progressive Metal legend Christopher Lee in my listings. Embarrassed

Nice to have a proper conversation you say? but you ignore me completely, so your sentence here is disingenuous. 

And here is another proof of you trolling - you have been told REPEATEDLY that Christopher Lee did not play progressive metal, not just by me, but by several people. What Christopher Lee played with metal artists  can be called European power metal or epic heavy metal. 
Well, I'm afraid Christopher Lee is here to stay now and the only way you can ward him off is to wear cloves of garlic around your neck, allegedly. Tongue

By God almighty and all His mercy, can you stop the trolling. One post you say Lee is a prog metal legend, next post you say he play symphonic metal. It's not lack of consistency, but trolling or possibly worse - ignorance. 

I don't know what's neo-classical about it, neo-classical power metal is usually Yngwie Malmsteen influenced shredding, which I did not hear in the songs from Lee's band. 

A better resource

Yngwie Malmsteen? I wonder how his parents came up with the name "Yngwie". Did they pick Scrabble letters out of a bag at random? Tongue

again, disrespectful and TBH narrow-minded. Yngwie is Swedish born. If only google was your friend, but I guess it's not.

A question for you, Cristi and Archisorcerus, or anyone else, is Metal usually
considered to be a part of the Rock genre?
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

I can't believe you asked that. 
Yes, it's part of the rock genre, but took a life of its own, throughout the years becoming quite diverse, now metal subgenres have their own subgenres. LOL

David, metal can be regarded as a part of the rock genre, the deplorable b*****d child of the rock, or a genre that was evolved from rock, by various people. It took its roots from rock, for sure. I tend to see it separate, though.

Cristi, your reply seems somehow dubious to me, or do you mean that Metal subgenres shall be considered as Rock's sub-subgenres? 
And is it your own point of view or what you find to be the usual one?

Paul, I can tell you - even you might already know - that I consider Heavy Metal to be one of the Metal subgenres.

Thanks, for your reply as well, Archisorcerus .

No, I mean metal subgenres have their own subgenres

Let's take doom metal, which in the last couple of decades has developed quite a bit. 

Traditional doom or epic doom - it's the clasic doom sound that Black Sabbath created and inspired.

Death-doom and melodic death doom - doom metal, with death metal vocals, some bands have female vocals and growls, best example the band Draconian. 

Gothic-doom - like Paradise Lost

Stoner and sludge - very hit and miss, especially sludge, but they are doom subgenres.
Drone - a doom subgenre, not my thing though. 
Funeral Doom - really slow yet atmospheric doom, with deep growls. 

I can name other genres if you want me to. 

Or just go to a site like metal storm, they tag genres and subgenres really well.

So you say, Metal is a part of Rock, but Metal subgenres are not?

And are you talking about your own point of view, or what you find to be the most usual one?

how did you get that metal subgenres are not part of rock? Confused
I don't come up with my own genres and subgenres, it's common knowledge, everyone who is into metal should know (and knows) these things.

Yes, even Heavy Metal itself is a sub-genre of Heavy Metal, bizarre as it may seem. Tongue

David, I feel like we're intruding on Cristi's specialist subject here, as  whatever we say about Heavy Metal, we're going to get criticised for it. Smile
