Metal started as a subgenre of rock, and came from blues- and psyhedelic rock in the late 60s. Rock and metal education thread

In rock, the amplifiers go up to 10.

In metal, the amplifiers go up to 11.

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.

Metal has a higher concentration of heavier elements than Rock does.

That's the Science lesson over.
