I think "classical keyboard" is more like traditional piano. And "pop keyboard" is exactly as it sounds. So a stylistic difference like Dave said. I had to learn a little bit of keyboard for school (part of my degree requirement) and I won't lie, it is challenging even of you are like me and have been reading and playing music for 15 years. But it's not impossible. I think, to start, the best thing to do is look online and in music stores for books that will teach you the very basics of keyboard. Just a generic method book for now. Once you think you've got the hang of it, move up to the next book and also start playing stuff on your own (improvisation). Improvising and also imitating the songs you want to play can help you get the feel for the type of music it is (in this case, metal). If you need some help or recommendations just post here again.
