Richard Wagner a German composer used much more dark elements then most traditional composers, and to top it all, he used a octobass which is one big ass double bass, operated by 2 people, and this is what gave his music that boomy, in your face, metal (and controversial) sound. This was in the 19 century. round about 1850, so I think this man definitely has its influence.
I'm gonna go with you on this one ? Wagner was one pissed off dude - that shit was metal! Octobass for the BroOtaLz 8)
Watch headbangers journey recently? ?
As hard as it is to believe some people do listen to classical occasionally. ?

As a side note: the other day I was listening to Gary Moore and although his music is certainly not heavy metal, I couldn't help but think that his guitar lead sound was very "metalesque"
The guitarists of Metalicca once commented that Gary Moore's Still Got The Blues was the perfect lead sound to them. I read his reply to it in an interview once and he basically poked fun at them for working at trying to emulate it but leaving out the $50k Les Paul that he used ?

I reckon hard rock evolved out of rock n roll, but that metal evolved out of the blues....
This I really don't agree with - The more straight ahead metal a band is the less blues phrasing I tend to find in them. Straight up metal tends to favour Harmonic minor, diminished and pentatonics (without the "blues" note). If anything I'd say hard rock is the more blues influenced genre...
