Ich bin in meiner frühen kindheit [5/6 jahre] mit struwwelpeter von 1844 aufgewachsen.
Habe in meiner jugend hauptsächlich schalplatten aus den 70ern, von bands Wie Led Zepelin, the who, the doors, pink floid, Black sabath und dergleichen, angehört.
Ich bin milinium.
I have a feel for what metal is, but I wouldn’t know how to describe it.
I love metal in [almost] all its forms and its many subgenres.
But how does metal differ from other genres of music?
Sometimes rock music is harder, faster, more aggressive and more brutal than metal. So that’s not a distinguishing feature.
I know that metal is closer to jazz and classical music in terms of its origins. And rock is closer to blues. But that doesn’t help me in the slightest to understand the metal genre. So what is it that defines metal? And what do all its subgenres have in common?
