Metal is:
-Louder volume
-Blues scales
-Strong vocals
-Shock value
-Extended solos
-Double guitars

Also, metal is a LOT more complex than most types of rock (riffs and solo work, I mean). I think a lot of rock music has simple, rather short solos, but metal solos tend to be a lot longer and with more bluesy improvisation.
