If that's the case, then Handel is my favourite metal artist.

70s metal is like porn I guess. Can't really define it but I generally know it when I hear it.

There's tons of classical that is heavier than ****. Just because you don't have a D-tuned guitar, a distortion pedal, and a 100 watt Marshall cranked on 10 doesn't mean you can't play metal.

You know a part of you really wished you were 14 in 1974.

Drop D=metal would be such a sad philosophy that I don't even want to consider it.

I put Handel because I think he's the single greatest influence on traditional heavy metal there is.

So why do so many guitarists use drop D in order to sound heavier? Because it works. Nothing like being able to play root I-V-VIII chords with the added lower octave V note.

I just just playing a 7 string with the lower B. An open D chord sounds absolutely HUGE being able to add the lower D note on the 3rd fret of the low B string.

It's funny when you listen to the ending of a majority of classical pieces and realize that almost all heavy metal songs end in the exact same fashion.

Wagner and Beethoven are up there with Handel when it comes to heaviness.

lol bit circular here innit

My point was that drop d, while used by a lot of metal guitarists, is by no means a defining trait of the genre.

Not what I was getting act. But it sure makes it easier to sound heavy as **** when playing metal rhythm chords.

I think it's because it makes it way easier to do the already easy power chord.

Tony Iommi agrees with you.
