We're talking about Rock music contra Classical, not Metal. Metal makes sense. The best Metal shares the ideals that guided the best Classical music. It's just a different aesthetic, different packaging, different breed of artist (disenchanted youth) and historical context.
The depth of emotion Rock music like KoRn acheives is barely worth mentioning. Their 'music' is a product and it is aimed at the lowest common denominator. They try to create music that appeals to as many people as possible, so any sense of 'emotion' is very vague and to mention them alongside Beethoven is frankly laughable.

i have only just recently started listening to classical music, but before was a big blues and folk music fan, i'd say the top five most played for me are Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Mississippi John Hurt (ooooo if i could play fingerstyle like THAT), as well as Pink Floyd and Leonard Cohen. no room for Korn i'm afraid.
now i'm on a bit of a kick with The Band

It's not hard. Mr. Hurt's style is fairly basic fingerpicking. Go for it!

Probably my favorite kinds of rock anymore are "postrock" and shoegaze. Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, My Bloody Valentine, M83, etc.

Here's a thought, what are your opinions on the taking classical music and making popular songs off the back of them. For example - Evernessance made a song based on the first couple of bars of Mozart's Lacrymosa. I'm quite indifferent to this idea, partly because of the immense wealth in circulation because of it.

hmm, no biggy I guess. Seems like most modern "Pop" music steals from every other type of music, from every other Generation.

But don't you think it's unfair that pop artists make millions off the back of hard working composers?
