Couldn't agree with you more Bazooka Joe!!! I've seen the show you're referring to a number of times. Really though, the similarities between Classical and Metal have been understood and documented numerous times over the years. I think if Mozart, Bethoven or Pachabel had in their day what we have, then Metal would have been around for centuries (though Pachabel is more modern than the others)!!! Some of that music is just as intense and heartpounding as any music ever created.
In Numero Unos' defense, Orchestrational music isn't metal, I agree with that. But I don't think Bazooka Joe disagrees on that either, just that there are a lot of similarities, and there are.
This is just my opinion, but if I had lived in that era I would be front row center every time Bethoven came to town!! Fortunately, I don't have to make that choice now.
If Metal and Rap can meld, why can't Metal and Classical music?
If one doesn't like it, fine, but I think Nostradamus is brilliant amalgamation of the two and I really like it!!

Seriously, listen to metal, then listen to orchestra music. GOOD orchestra music. Everything they do is so similar it's ridiculous.
Go watch Metal: A Headbanger's Journey.
He explains it perfectly at the very first of the damn movie. And no, I did not get that from that movie, I've been saying that for years now.

What's your point though? Are you saying that the slower songs aren't metal? Or slow metal songs in general aren't metal?
You've heard of Sabbath right?...
Obviously you've never made the connection with Heavy Metal and Orchestra music either, so please try to haha. Those fuckers back then were as metal as the guys today, we just have distortion nowadays.
