Heavy Metal Anyone?

I don't know for sure, but words from a person who doesn't or hasn't played a musical instrument.
Just a silly, unenlightened comment.

Back to Black Sabbath and Art Blakey on the table.
Any system setup right, all music sounds good.

As someone who has identified as a musician, I beg to differ.  Heavy metal is full of fast triplets to hide a lack of prowess.   I do listen to some, but I never heard a HM drummer who compares in technique to Buddy Rich or Terry Bozzio, nor a guitarist who holds a candle to Nita Strauss or Steve Vai.  Not to mention the electric bass of Flea  (OK, he might be heavy metal), and the acoustic bass of Ron Carter.  And don't even ask me about the best guitarist I ever saw, Segovia.  I do agree about jazz guitarists.  The are usually pretty lame, and yes, i do know listen to Herb Ellis.  Piano: Oscar!    Trumpet and Sax: ignored in HM. 

millercarbon:  There is something new yuou should try.  It is called google.  If you google "heavy metal" and "Django Reinhardt", you would discover that heavy metal is believed to have begun no sooner than the late 1960s and reached a mass audience in the 1970"s.  Django died in 1953.

Is your source on Mark Knopfler, Roy Clark, or Chet Atkins the same as your source on Djanggo Reinhardt, who died in 1953, just a bit before the introduction of Heavy Metal?
Don't worry though. I used to believe what I heard, especially when it coincided with what might likd to believe.  It is an easy habit to break. 

GOOGLE!

There has been many bands whom have been called metal, look at the old Grammy thing, or some past music reward ceremony,.when Jethro Tull won best heavy metal song?

REALLY,  ??
not metal.

look at that Def Leppard band, I’m not a huge fan, their early ep and first three records were very influential to the NWOBHM sound, then they went pop rock, and that is all, they have been a pop rock band since, and have made a $hit of money.
 One of my wife’s fav bands.

My huge peeve the past 25 or so years, and currently is the 819 genres given to metal:

 There are too many to list, my brother/sister rivethedz know the drill.
drives me nuts.

  When I was young, it was all under one huge umbrella called HEAVY METAL, that is all.
