    Do they? I've never met a metalhead who knew more than the most absolutely well-known composers.

      I know a neighbour who looks like the most stereotypical late 20s/early 30s metalhead. Long hair, beard, wears incomprehensible death metal band shirts, blasts away on his drumkit on the weekend for the entire neighbourhood to hear

      Tirns out he's pretty knowledgeable on avant-garde jazz, classical composers and weird shit like krautrock and zeuhl and stuff

      I like some Modernism and I like Metal,but my classical knowledge I will admit is less extensive. Most people only listen to a handful of genres. I like Psychedelia too which I probably ultimately listen to a whole lot more. I like Pfitzner,Haydn,Handel,Wagner,Franz Ceasar,Erik Bergman,Alban Berg,Milton Babbit,Leo Ornstien,Ruth Crawford Seeger,Luigi Russolo,Dayne Rudhyar,and Roy Agnew off the top of my head though. I also like some Funk and Soul Music,am not a big fan of Jazz at all though. Enjoy The Blues.

        >I like Milton Babbitt

        Explain this shit! He meticulously designed his music to be as shitty and unmusical as possible. What do you like about it? Also what about Schoenberg?

      It's over 500 years of music. There's hundreds of genres and styles in it. There's something for everyone. The best of classical music is also the best of music.

      The trick is finding composers who have a really unique style or many faces. Take Scriabin, for example, the piano GOAT.

      It is narrative music that is supposed to change, develop and surprise you, as opposed to finding something that 'pleases' your ear then finding the best ways to repeat it, like most non-classical does. In classical, what sounds "good" isn't what excites the ear in a vacuum, but how it is implemented in the structure of the work and contransted with its other musical ideas.

    Classical yeah, but not prog. I can't into prog, I think intellectualising music and rock/metal don't go together, and I can't feel the compositions, I can only feel riffs and harmonies. For classical I can because it's the purpose of the music, it's like it's telling a story, it's a whole different thing. I just can't handle prog.
    And even in terms of classical, it has to be emotional because if it's just an inside joke for composers it puts me off. That's why in terms of classical music, I prefer medieval European music (from the 'troubadours' and 'Minnesänger') or classical Indian music ('râga').

    So to answer your question, I think it's wrong, it depends. You can't make generalisations like that.

      Anything in particular that you'd be willing to share? I'm always open to different music.

      most retarded shit i ever heard. if you geniunely actually think this you dont know shit about either metal or classical. in no way is this kind of neoclassical guitar playing a progression of classical, its just inspired by it, and metal as a whole has little to nothing to do with classical, it has its roots in hard rock, blues, and psych rock.

    For one, classical and prog rock were primary influences in the creation and development of heavy metal (Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Ygnwie Malmsteen and Judas Priest all had prog and/or classical inspirations and elements, Rush was highly valued by early metal bands and fans, etc.)
    A lot of metal also has non-standard/more adventurous song structures and the three genres frequently explore similar moods (Epic, triumphant, dark, foreboding, despairing, intense).

      Also jazz, which is basically prog with classical instruments.

        This is innacurate.
        Prog rock is basically 40% rock, 30% classical influence, 15% folk and 15% jazz.

    Just technical wank like Paganini, Rachmaninoff and Liszt or "heavy" shit like Bartok or Rite of Spring. They have absolute homosexual-tier appreciation of classical.

    the real reason is that when metalfags get tired of metal they have nowhere else to go for stimulating music than classical. everything else is inferior. also metalfags don't have any pretense about music being subjective. no metalfag is ever going to deny that classical is the pinnacle of music, but ask your average music listener and they will jump through all sorts of hoops to convince themselves that rap or indie rock or pop or whatever garbage they're listening to is just as "valid" as beethoven or whatever.

    Metal music can often be very technical with virtuosic playing

    Baroque and classical can also be very technical with rigid structures and virtuosic playing, "shredding" if you will.
