Well, duh!
I got into classical music because of what I learned when I first got into heavy metal around the age of nine. I was fortunate to have friends through my school years that realized we all got into something special and awesome. All of the ones I still keep in touch with have the same feeling too.
Metal
My favorite metalhead classical works are Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and Stravinsky (and others I can’t recall at the moment). I haven’t listened to my favorite metalhead composers in quite some time, come to think of it; I’ll have to revisit and remember some of my favorites.
Thanks for this cool post.
Metal: making classical cool again?
According to the goog, the harmonic minor scale is the only one in common with both styles of music.
Used to listen to metal when doing math homework.
Don’t forget Mozart!
