Heavy Metal Anyone?

In my opinion, the best musicians are heavy metal musicians. Jazz is easy, ine note at a time, doomboombooppettiboop, but, can any of thos jazz dudes do what the heavy metal bassist do, or guitarists, or drummers? And , it's easy to test a system using jazz with simple vocal tracks, test systems with Heavy Metal. If it works with metal, it will work well in general. 

Anyone agrees with me? 

Note, no disrespect to jazz, classical lovers . I listen to a lot of jazz, blues, classical and especially early music.

I like a lot of heavy metal, but could not disagree more with your premise.

I’m a bit taken aback at the statement regarding Knopfler not being able to make in metal, then settling. Mark plays very difficult pieces. If you listen to other guitarists they will state that Knopfler is quite good.

I don’t agree that any genre of music is more difficult than another. There are outstanding musicians in many fields.

a hilarious premise. 

if only SRV, Eric Clapton, Charlie Byrd, or John Williams had been good enough for heavy metal...

too bad J.J. Cale only played a few notes per solo.  Imagine how great they could have been multiplied by 20.

many musicians, from Debussy to Miles Davis, have pointed out that the spaces between the notes matter more than the notes themselves.  AFAIK, no H M guitarist has ever grasped this concept.

many have commented that BB King could express more with one note than many guitarists could with 100.
