One of my young ones plays HM, or at least that's what they called when they started out, but they and it seem to keep evolving beyond just loud. There seem to be several subsets of the genre now. I don't really think of it as my cup of tea, but I would be willing to try it if could be played acoustically. The heavy amplification is painful to my ears, distorts the sound, and obliterates nuances. To be honest, I don't really know if it's a musical thing or a generational thing, or some of both. If a metal band plays acoustically, is it still metal? (the music, not the band)

I dont know if it would still be metal if it were acoustical or not. If it is played with a symphony is it still? For that you would have to ask Metalica who just put out their new album. Some metal is played real slow too and it is considered some of the hardest music. But all of these are still amplified. I think that it would be real cool if some new band came out and tried it unpluged. The closest thin that i can think of right now is Alice in Chains. I dont know if it is metal or not, probably not, but it is cool none the less.

Well, there is KISS, with the song "Beth." The original debut was with strings and piano.

Then there was Jethro Tull, but that may or may not be considered "Metal" by a lot of folks.

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant did an unplugged, but that was more hype than accoustic...

Oh, did I mention I also like Metal? Damn little I don't like...Perhaps Opera, but only those not in a language I speak...

Metal unplugged? Well, most Metal roups have done it at least once and while several of the groups sound pretty good that way, it seems to me that it kind of looses the Metal feel. Nothing wrong with it, just that Metal is defined by lots of amps and at least a bit of distortion. That being said - I love early Sabbath (Ozzy)("War Pigs" is one of the best anti-war songs out there) and early AC/DC (Bon), Leppelin, & B.O.C.

Yeah, Days Of The New is pretty cool "Shelf In The Room," "The Downtown," "Touch, Peel, And Stand" etc. But they're more of an acoustic grunge group--which jives too. I love when Pearl Jam gets acoustic--especially on their "clean" songs. "Elderly Woman" is a beautiful song.

Led Zeppelin is one of those groups that cannot be contained in one (or probably a dozen) genres. They obviously had a heavy blues influence. Of course that's nothing new when it comes to UK rockers. Beautiful ballads of their own style ("Going to California" comes to mind) but there's nearly always an undercurrent of POWER in their songs. That's probably part of what makes "Stairway" so successful.

Blues rock is another genre I'm into - Stevie Ray Vaughn, George Thorogood, early ZZ Top, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Joplin, Foghat, Clapton, Stones, Beatles, etc.

Gary T.: interesting theory about the moniker Heavy Metal; I had never heard that before. I was told in high school, when I asked my fellow metal heads, that it had to do with the style of guitar playing, i.e. distortion and fast solos and a "heavy" harsh sound like, well, metal grinding...

that said, the bands I liked back in those days included: Sabbath (Ozzy was my first concert ever!),Rainbow w/Ritchie Blackmore, Judas Priest, AC/DC...also Kansas, who started out being more "progressive" than metal... also Blue Oyster Cult, Uriah Heep (great in concert!) and The Moody Blues (not metal but I really liked them, then and now)...and i liked some early Zeppelin...also Fever Tree, Klaatu, and King Crimson... also a big Jethro Tull fan; the only folks who think they ae heavy metal however are the Grammy Awards geniuses who nominated them for best in that category one year; they won! and Ian and company scratched their heads and giggled when accepting their statuette...

From what I've heard the first time the words "heavy metal thunder" were used was in Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf. The phrase heavy metal came from there.

Also - Peg - the stuff about Jethro Tull winning the first grammy for "Heavy Metal" was a million dollar question on "Who wants to be a Millionaire". I was screaming at the TV that I knew the answer - however I was ignoring the fact that I was clueless about the question before it - the real name of one of the Popes before he became a priest. Money slips through my fingers somedays.

Playing a heavy metal guitar, (mostly brass), washboard, (again mostly brass) and a razor sharp handtool (musical saw-spring steel), folks often request tunes from this genre. I usually attempt these tunes but explain that my influences are from much earlier sources. In fact many of these bands have similar roots, they just carry their interpretations/influences to further extremes than I am presently willing to explore.

Ok, my true Heavy Metal Days came early on- Zeppelin, Iron Butterfly,Humble Pie, Tull in their "New Day Yesterday" phase. I really liked Thin Lizzy in the mid-seventies, and got into some Van Halen and AC/DC. I also found myself listening with interest to the heavy metal/grunge bands like Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Never really liked the hair and glam bands like Metallica, Motley Crue, Guns and Roses... too formulaic, I guess. Too much current metal comes under the heading "been there-done that."

My favorite grunge band is Stone Temple Pilots. Their song "Interstate Love Song" is well-loved by all members of my family (it starts off "THE tape") also the song "Big Empty" rules, especially the acoustic slide guitar solos--oops! forgot to mention "Plush" also by STP. As I put it, one of the most perfect songs in modern rock.

Very much, 'specially the old stuff. Deep Purple, Hawkwind, Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, early Black Sabbath (Paranoid & Iron man rule), Blue Oyster Cult aint bad either.

Funny, but for me, I like heavy metal for the same reason I like a lot of folk music. At its heart its a home grown music--not necessarily complex or polished, although the technical ability of some of the players is astounding. Most of these guys formed their style and vision alone in their bedrooms and garages and hacked out their careers in dives on the roads.

Not trying to be closed minded, but I don't care for the "metal" genre. Led Zep, iron butterfly et. al. may have been precursers, but i don't think they really fit in to todays understanding of "heavy metal'. Had The New York Rock Ensemble continued, they may have evolved into the PREMIERE heavy metal band, the influence is obvious an some of their tunes. We would have probably had much more talented metal bands today if they had to compete with Michael Kamen, who now does mostly movie work.

I always consider GnR, Motley Crue, and the rest of the 80s hair bands, and most of the foundational 70s stuff like Zeppelin and Thin Lizzy, "hard rock" while I reserved "heavy metal" for bands like Slayer, Iron Maiden, Anthrax (not very good IMHO), Pantera, and Megadeth. Then there'st the so-called "black metal" or "death metal" bands like Sepultura, Canibal Corpse, Napalm Death, etc. Kind of surprised nobody mentioned any of them. Had a friend in college who used to explain the musical structure behind death metal music... It's loud, aggressive, and very repetetive.

Anyway, Metallica is by far the best of this genre that I know of, and I think Iron Maiden, esp. their first album, is also quite good. Some Megadeth stuff, esp. Rust in Peace, is also good, though Dave Mustaine's squeeky voice and shallow political ravings are annoying as heck.
