Does metal require anger and power? (country, jazz, reggae, rock)

Metal = energy and aggression, not necessarily anger

I think that's a fairly laconic summary - obviously there are exceptions though.

I think many people would disagree there, even the most extreme death metal bands require very skilled muscians.

I agree with you... talent and skill fall into every category of music just as lack of talent and skill do as well.

Amen!!

In answer to the original question posed, metal makes the feel the need to play air guitar, drum on my steering wheel, and sing badly.

I try not to listen to it in the car too much now adays, since I suddenly transform into a NASCAR driver when it plays for some reason...

Clever, btw.
