  In Heavy Metal shout so the types and make noise as if to lam into garbage cans.At the Hard Rock can still sing and music, as described.

  The point is, first, the “Metal” a genre is so complex. As for the song, here are songs from operetta to actual “grunts” in fact all the process of music ranging from three-chords-on Geschrammel komlplexe progressive song structures to classical elements (Symphonic Metal).See also http://de. wikipedia. org / wiki / MetalBut basically you have given you the answer somewhere before, the borders are actually running. It is more the “seriousness” of the overall sound, which “represents the metal itself.Time here a typical example:http://www. youtube. com / watch? v = 68kRO4ql_LMThere is nothing with bawling, but the very melodic vocals, the song structure is almost a bit of pop.Nevertheless, this is clearly metal, because the song is backed with heavy, driving guitar riffs and drum beats (fast bass drum). I think those two elements make a song mainly “metal”.Here, too, to hear very well:http://www. youtube. com / watch? v = ouZQ7rgAq-IIt replaces the fast and complex drumming by a 8.15-Bumm gossip-disco beat and the plastic guitars by Keyboardgeblubber a la Dieter Bohlen and already we have a radio-pop song Listen compared to Bon Jovi, Deep Purple, or mentioned by you Guns’n Roses, which is actually typical Hard Rock.And then there are also a “Forward”, where the assignment is not quite so clear, as would occur to me about Axel Rudi Pell, Masterplan and Jorn.Similarly, it is difficult to make a clear distinction between metal and alternative rock (a la Creed, Nickelback, Breakin Benjamin, etc.) draw. Alter Bridge as Creed come successor band in this genre but have a number of “metallic” characteristics.Disturbed also is not clearly classified, so that even Wiki says:”Disturbed is now usually as an alternative metal band, but is also known as nu-metal, heavy metal or hard rock band. The exact genre membership is disputed.”Overall, it should be noted that all these genres have to do too much more with the choice of instruments and sounds as melodies and song structures.Thus, approximately one JBO fun of it from pop songs to make hits and even folk metal numbers, it works even with Vicky or the song of the Smurfs (what has “Vader Abraham said to be?)http://www. youtube. com / watch? v = qSUwHHs20RYConversely, there are such as AC / DC Highway to Hell a country version and recently I had one of them even Irish-folk version is

  fretrunner it has brought together great, thank you. I think that is that since you touched a very difficult subject, because the borders are really flowing.For me it was always kind of Hard Rock ‘American’ because it sounds somehow locates Sun at least geographically. I feel at least as if Hard Rock one more development in the line of rock ‘n’ roll, blues and classical rock during heavy metal sounds with his harder roots as somehow ‘European’.Actually it is a classification of complete nonsense, because there was always mutual interference and always bands of both genres came from who knows where. Today, such a classification by the great diversification of the genre is more difficult.But somehow I saw Heavy Metal always a little as a consequence of the British punk, or at least as regards what the hardness.Honestly, I can not explain it to me yet really know why I just opposites of this American-European or sometimes American-British mind. May depend on the order that the ‘harder line’ in the rock almost always have more fans in the history in Europe seemed. The scene in general when it came to rock and metal fans, seemed also tend to be darker with us. In any event, there were around me in the 80s more hardcore leather jackets and frock-makers than perhaps people who are visually had all these ‘Hair Metal’ type as a model. In America, it seemed sometimes to be almost the reverse. That may be but a completely distorted idea of reality. Finally, it was precisely in the Ruhr region in terms of tougher stance also very go-getting, with Sodom and Kreator’s face. They had been a great influence on us.Whether it is Hard Rock and Metal Metallica now depends entirely clear to me the way depending on which panel hears from one phase of its completion, I would tend to say, of course, already metal.

  Def Leppard Hard Rock-IS is typically not well-Kiss is one example.The term is now used less often, the music comes mostly from the 80s (or, where the groups come from).
