waiiit...waiiit I arrived! how could you all discuss this extremely intelligence topic in my midnight time!!
Heavy metal??? LOL of course no connection to classical music, how can such strange music can connect to our highly blessed classical music eg. Bruckner, Wagner or Shostakovich.But, I think you mean Symphonic Metal, of course the name itself already speaks the connection. And of course also you mean Progressive Metal and the progressive chords, the real upgrade to the undate triad chord.
Waaaiiit.. here links to youtube to converted yourself or your classical friends for this fascinating music with only four members required. It's very hard to listen (harder than the atonal), but after listen with your heart, you will felt in love. Follows the drum (the one that actually sounds the best), the guitar shred (thinks of it as the soulful violin solo) and the power chorus.... (remember your day in Verdi? this is miles ahead).....
Hallelujaaaah...All Hail! Ameeeeeen!
Take your time to the journey of Metal (most videos more or less than 4'30" length!)
the intro:
can't you see the connection?? try to imagine the choruses without those 94cm hairs singers and you get the idea
the guitar riff:
remove the vocal now and you'll see Beethoven's 5th symphony is the same idea...see Dun Dun Dun Duuuun = Dun, Dun Dun Duuuuun! And its less repeated than Beethoven's riff.
the musicianship:
the connection? it takes grade 12th trained musician to play, same as Scriabin etudes!
the form:
can you connect your brain how the music evolved from the quite intro to blazzing voice in fours? it's not only connected to classical music, but the form is better, how can classical musician still write something in sonata form?
and finally the missing link of all:
--- with explaination!
They played the SAME exactly notes! which is way better than Vitamin String Quartet playing Korn (which such disgrace to the string quartet form since it's waste so many google pages when I type string Quartet!) So, it is not vice versa when transforming one style to other, you know what mean that is!
good luck!!
