agresive metalheads
this is the general idea people have about what has now become more than just a style of music but rather a culture.people belonging to this group are seen as being violent tatood monkeys with a thinking disabiletys, yet recent studies disproves this notion quite fiercely.
it would seem that not only is the metal geanre closely linked to the complexity of clasical music but also the listener/metal heads personality trates are also closely linked to that of the clasical listener.
what are your thoughts on the people acociated with different music?

" classical ". I do not knock the music you are talking about, I just don't enjoy anything to do with rock music from its early forms.
And we have all the puddle rockers too of the 80's, but thay made good music. Like Ozzy, judas, scorpions, dio, van halen, maiden etc. Slayer and those more "blood thirsty" ones also had undeniably good inputs, for the unfant-hearted, lol.
I had a friend that was more rock than most, thogh back then we had no tatoos as thay had not bacame so poppis yet.
This friend of mine that we called Christian Rockstar (his last name rhymed with that) now is running his own business with meny employees that he started alone.
and it is very true of what you say about metalica lol.
maiden must be one of my favorate bands of the 80's :D started 1975 theyre last album that i know of came out 2010
I also love classical music and among my favourite composers are, Bach, Debussy, Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky to name but a few.
So it doesnt surprise me that the personality traits of the listeners of both genres of music are quite similar, after all classical music was probably the equivalent of todays heavy metal in its hey day.
I am a "victim" of such prejudices! People get extremely surprised that I am a metal fan. According to my appearance and personality they say they expect me to be a fan of something more "quiet" and classical
Of course it doesn't mean I am some metal neanderthal and don't listen to Vivaldi or other kinds of music ;) But never to cheesy stuff!
Especially for the blogger:
ON THE VIKING house blog..Let's go bring the best heavy metal you know
but yes i believe that the majority of metal heads have either a grounding or apretiation for clasical music, as that is the basis of most if not all music today
My FAVORITE ONE ever! RONNIE JAMES DIO!
Ronnie has a very powerful, distinctive and almost operatic vocal style. He claims it was a voice he was born with, which was further nurtured and enhanced by both his trumpet playing and the records he was exposed to in his Italian migrant home.
"Learning to play the trumpet is the same technique as singing," says Ronnie. "You have to have good technique or you'll blow yourself out, so I applied the same thing to a singing style. As a kid, I listened to a lot of opera in my home, and I think hearing those great tenors really influenced me. So, I put all those things together — all of my past experiences listening to opera, playing the horn, adapting the horn technique to vocal technique — and those are the reasons that I'm able to do what I do today."
Ronnie is also very proud of the fact that he developed his vocal style in his own unique way, without the potentially negative influence of any voice teacher.
