Heavy Metal on the Piano

Who says Heavy Metal isn't a great musical genre?

The problem with Heavy Metal is that people often confuse it with punk, electronica and other types of music. Heavy Metal isn't that loud, it has just been misunderstood.

The truth is Heavy Metal musicians are often also huge fans of classical music. Indeed I would argue that "Heavy Metal" shouldn't even be called by that name, it should more accurately be called "Rock Opera". It would be a more apt description in my opinion. Heavy Metal is very misunderstood by non-metal fans.

FACT - 90% of Heavy Metal musicians studied classical music in university.

Below are examples of Heavy Metal songs being played on piano and keyboards.
