A classical elitist! Cute. Try something else. This is a pure borefest. Classical music can be way more intense and varied (hey, us metal folks are into classical, didn't you know?). Metal is classical's younger and angrier brother. You guys are as cute as the jazz elitists. I'll give you that.
LIsten to anything by Krisiun and tell me they aren't complex. Also, listen to anything by Per Nilsson (Scar Symmetry's guitarist) and tell me it what he plays ain't complex. LMFAO. I've been playing guitar since 1991 and I know what's complex music and what's not.
Also... does it seriously need to be complex to be good? Some of the best songs ever are pretty simple.

Sabbath, bloody Sabbath, of course.
Alter Bridge are doing a good job. Tremonti (solo project) is heavier. I don't keep up with heavy fucking metal metal, nor read Kerrang!, but Alter Bridge are carrying the torch, at least for me. QOTSA are still alive too?

Alter Bridge is a great hard rock band. Like you said, not the most metal band, but they are awesome and they have great songs. Myles is a terrific singer.

Of course not.
I love things a lot less complex than classical music. I just posted the video to show what 'knowledge of music' means to me.
And for the record, I didnt want to insult anyone with my opinion, I just expressed it with no bad intentions.

Who cares, metal died years ago. All this modern yodel crap is weak ass sauce. Do we have a modern Sepultura of the 80s and 90s? Or Slayer ... nah, all girly-boys wearing stilettos who can´t write, sing or act nor play for shit. Now we have fugliest mumble rappers ... ; We peaked as a RACE around the mid 90´s ... all downhill since then, ask New York.
MUSIC was good til 2000
MOVIES were good til 2000
GAMES were good til 2000
DAMN YOU Y2K virus!! Also Eminem is to Rap what Brittney Spears was to Pop.

Birmingham and the Black Country (look it up) did, when all you hear growing up is the clang of blacksmiths and foundries bashing away all day it's hard not to be influenced by it, whether it's music, art or writing.
Iommi, Butler, Ozzie, Ward, Bonham and Plant all grew up around those parts.

Music, movies and games... there are good and bad stuff in all eras. Bad music/movies/games were bad before the 2000's as well.
Specifically talking about gaming... I don't mean to hijack the thread, as I'm very critical of gaming trends lately (excess of DLC's, games not being complete, etc) but there are still lots of good games around.

Depends on your perception and who you ask. Look, I agree that there is plenty of great metal out there. Maybe I should rephrase that I wish it was more pop culture. We still can't let go the metal songs of that era. Yet today, none of that is in the mainstream, and we have a mainstream that will be largely forgotten. It's just sad really.

I mostly listen to new bands anyway. Imo music is better than it has ever been because the breath of bands to choose from is stupid crazy. You are bound to find some real gems

Yup been listening to metal for 35 years and still finding killer albums. Old bands and new. Anybody that says it's dead has not dug deep enough. Not talking about shit metal like five finger death punch either.

Tbh I think Achilles Last Stand is much more of a heavy metal song from them.
You can't make a post about classical influences in metal and not include Yngwie Malmsteen!A guy that likes classical that has no idea the metal has close ties with classical music.
The Devil's Interval: The Tritone In Classical Music
The augmented fourth, the diminished fifth, the "devil in music"... it's the tritone, and it's our topic this week!indianapublicmedia.org
And these untalented hacks that play the entire orchestra on a pair of guitars
And the list goes on forever.
take a seat, son.
Bell thinks you have to like either or...
Anyway the other guy is a dumbass, "hurr durr I like classical music, I'm so above you". I played in orchestras half my life, doesn't mean I can't enjoy metal lol.

Pretty much this list.
I'd like to toss in this track from Genesis in 1973. It's prog, but there's some of the earliest hip-hop sound I've run across and a rather metal guitar riff that follows a bit after. Really interesting song.

I had a class in college where for whatever reason we had to watch this composition at a theater....this girl in class got talking to me and needed a ride, and I was like hell yeah I got a ride.
During the performance she remarked it sounded like Mario 3.
My advice: get that girl some sushi and gin and see what happens.
