There
has always been this invisible, thick, black line between the two
genres/sub-genres of Heavy Metal and Classical Music. I'm not sure
about the rest of the U.S.A. but here in Kansas City, the collision
of icons, underground music, and the next big break are a pissing
distance away. Historically and today, Kansas City, Missouri has been
known for raising and cataloging all music genres from all parts of
this earth. So don’t sound surprised when I say there are more of
us that have Beethovens
No.3 and
Bullet
For My Valentine
on the same leisure playlist.
Let’s
start off with the definitions of each. Ya, I don’t know either.
But here we go.
Classical
Music: As in the case of the Renaissance, difficulties with
terminology again arise with the label classical. Does it refer to a
period of time, a distinctive musical style, an aesthetic attitude,
an ideal standard, or an established norm?
In
other words, is it referring to time, music, or love?! I’m going on
all three. Why not? Beautifully expressed melodic tunes made to
represent the feelings of heartbreak or love flutter were being
composed in the Baroque era. Classical in this broad sense is still
being used today in new screenplays and in metal music itself.
Now
where the classical fans scream, “Extreme!” and the metal fans
scream louder “Our Fathers Evil Church!” Turns out their both
right.
Metal
Music: a genre
of rock
music
that includes a group of related styles that are intense, virtuosic,
and powerful. Driven by the aggressive sounds of the distorted
electric guitar, heavy metal is arguably the most commercially
successful genre of rock music.
Heavy
metal starting back in the 70s is known and the viscous, devil music,
powerful, loud, but what everyone mistook is the technical skills
needed to compose these perfectly melodic clashes.
Metal
No
matter the argument of true definitions, we will all never agree upon
one so let’s move on. Yo, you are a maniac thinking these are the
same…….Wrong. The technical
difficulty alone between a forte-piano and a perfect lead guitar rift
in
today’s metal we referenced earlier in almost exactly the same.
Somebody had to dedicate not just childhood, but a powerful
understanding of something we only view as a theory to this day.
Music
Theory.
Let e know when you understand it because all the music majors have
proven is jazz, metal, and EDM are not only the missing link to this
planet but that they are really good at memorizing textbooks also.
Both metal and classical were the devil, voracious, rebellious, and
offensive. Paganini himself could not receive a proper burial from
the church because his epic violinist skills were compared the Satan
himself and only he could play so well. Fran
Liszt
has the first recorded mosh pit in a laughing sense. Not only a
colorful, artistic era but booming with sound and romance and here
comes this sexy composer comparable to Beethoven to put a crowd into
a full-on
frenzy.
Note the title and disorder, Lisztomania. Rock on with your gregorian
chant…..Rock
on
Classical
Classical music, however,
defined is the acidic base of the art of putting thought into sound.
From a perfect vaulted ceiling bellowing a gregorian chant in latin
to an orchestra explaining someones happiness and hardships through
twelve minutes of glorious, robust melody. Classical in my opinion
was the first punk rock. Love, hate, disregard, education, pain, true
happiness. I cant get through the Moon Light Sonata without tearing
up. I believe classical will still outlive and be the foundation for
the basis of comprehensible and emotional sound for the rest of human
existence. Classical music however was able to go outside its “genre”
in a sense of speaking. As metal cannot go too much of a twist and
throw some 50s swing into the middle of thrashing about drugs or a
heartbreak, classical was able to hit all emotions and everyday
activities to defining wars. It had a versatility that can never be
matched.
.
The two most difficult
genres to play to a live crowd and must play to perfection have some
similarities along with the differences. We can move onto what we all
can agree upon and my our own personal opinions.
Now, most of this is just
my opinion so do not go yelling at a professor that I am right or
wrong (or do it, fuck it) and take the most random blog page to
randomly appear one day as gospel. One fact I did find was this
though: Jazz fans are
creative and extrovert with high self-esteem, researchers said. Fans
of country music are, on the other hand, introverted but hard
working. Rap fans are outgoing and occasionally rough, and soul
lovers are creative, outgoing, gentle, confident and at ease with
themselves. In other words, they sound like good lovers. Im
not sure about the study, references, nor do i remember where i read
it but there ya go. Metalheads suck at life with laziness and
depression, r&b/hip hop fans know how to bang, country fans know
how to work, jazz fans are actually conceded, bur classical fans
actually only make more money. Go be miserable with your money I
guess? Everybody stay sfe with this COVID and bless whomever you need
blessed by. You cant have peace without violence but damnit we can
try.
