Metal Hall: Classical Forum

The net's oldest metal site has created a forum for classical music only.

As many of you know, classical and metal are similar through their use of narrative composition, where riffs fit together to form motifs and communicate change in experience.

This is why there is significant overlap between metal and classical fans, and why both musics have a stormy, powerful yet sensitive approach.

We are looking forward to connecting more of these fans with each other and more music they'll like, even if to outsiders it appears radically different.

For more information:

* Classical Music for Metal Fans
* What makes heavy metal heavy?

Do we hear applause? Didn't think so. But worth checking out.

Off-topic: I'm back!!!!

Applause is better than AIDS. Glad those retrovirals worked!

The idea of Classical and metal being similar is lost on me, where on earth did you get this idea from,
Riffs in classical?? Jazz has more riffs than classical but you can't say jazz and classical are similar or perhaps you do Conservationist. btw can you give an example of a classical riff ??
I suspect this is a ploy to get some of our members to go to your site but not a very suttle way of doing it. personaly I can't stand the sound of metal

Here's a full explanation:

Jazz is retarded. Once you see through it, you can never go back. Bad logic, bad music, overrated performers.

If you really think that metal is better than Jazz then you can't have a musical ear.. the improvisations of John Coltrane signify a total genius. The complex voicing and harmonic ingenuity of Bill Evans piano playing is remarkable - and to think he never wrote it down is quite unimaginable.

Metal is moronic noise that's not even played by proper acoustic instruments capable of subtle colouration.





He even looks like a genius.

Obviously you have seen through it, so explain what made you come to such a juvenile conclusion?? and how about an example of riffs in classical music I can't wait to find out where these are

Metal fans are like fundamentalist christians - so deluded it's impossible to debate with them using conventional logic or common sense.

This is the best post I ever read. Bill Evans is my hero and my harmonic inspiration.

I am still interested in riffs that Conservationist said are in classical, I have thought of one that could be very loosely be termed a riff but not in the sense that Jazz would recognise and don't forget it was Jazz that gave birth to the Riff!

I used to listen to a lot of jazz. Then I realized it's a scam: there is no beauty in it, only disorganization, but it's widely praised by fools -- they like to feel smart once a week.

You really have got a chip on your shoulders, how is it disorganised?? how can a chord sequence either 12bar or 32bar be other than organised or are you referring to improvisation?? give some specifics to back up your views and don't generalise, and you have some nerve saying it has no beauty, do you claim that metal is beautiful

Don't tell me what to do. You've got a chip on your shoulder, and you need to back up and consider your own issues.

You don't listen to metal, and have stated negative opinions about it, but yet, you know nothing of it.

Why should I give you the time of day?

Of course I don’t listen to it, as far as I am concerned it has a terrible sound, and is just a noise to me

Well you started the thread and as yet you have not addressed a single point that I have raised,
