I'm sure you're a Yes fan, they're one of my favorite prog rock bands back in the day, you can definitely hear them in Dream Theater.

And this is Nightwish, beautiful symphonic on a beautiful female vocalist.

Offtopic but I thought you might like them.
The first one I liked very much. Obviously all talented musicians and tight as a group. The drummer is kick a$$. I have always been a Yes fan. I also could hear a little Uriah Heap,Rush,Genesis,Blue Oyster Cult flavor to this song. All great bands in their own right. Their music is much more complex than I would have imagined from a so called heavy metal band. Also a little Jazz/rock fusion flair. You may have an Opeth convert. The second song was strong and passionate. The female voice kind of reminds me of Pat Benatar which I have seen live and an early female rocker I have always liked a lot. By the way Mr. Barrett I figured you did know of Sade, but not many young guys or gals are into music as passionate and with gusto as you seem to be. All those varied music genre's will be a positive influence on your personal style as a musician. The best musicians that I know of have those varied musical influences. Eric Clapton one of my favorite guitarists if not my favorite all time comes to mind. I got off track right with you. Besides Sade no one elses music comes to mind at the moment. The best I can do to get back on track with this thread. Sorry gang!

Eric Clapton was a good influence on me back then. And yes, me and, other members of this forum, have quite an expansive musical taste.

Sorry for the brief lesson but I felt you might be interested:

Thrash Metal: early form of metal in the 1980s.
Classic Metal: founders, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest
Death Metal: pioneered by the band Death, this is your stereotyped metal genre.
Black Metal: furious, sinister, grim, and evil. Gained notoriety in Norway.
Gothenburg Style: Swedish form of death metal, gave birth to Melodic Death.
Melodic Death: A more melodic twist to death metal
Progressive Metal: Metal with many influences, complexities, and twists.
Viking Metal: Nuff said
Folk Metal: metal mixed with folk instruments, and folk styles. Its actually one of my favorite genres, quite good to dance to, very popular in Finland.
Tanz-Metall: German Dance Metal.

Too many to list, but personally you might like the more technical edge of metal, you've probably stereotyped it as Cannibal Corpse (which I actually enjoy, but that was after living around metal for a while, you don't exactly convert someone to like metal by showing them Cannibal Corpse )

Anyways, REALLY back on topic.

Okay i'm not being serious, but I would like to see Alizée try folk rock/metal.

And I knew you might enjoy those two Pepe, I know my way around the golden jewels of each genre (except rap, that's uncharted territory), but if you look at Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth's MySpace, well you could see he lists about 800 influences, from country to folk, to pop to jazz, to rock and metal.

This is more of a collaborative fantasy for me. I've practiced Jari Mäenpää's growling style for about 2 years now, and I was hoping maybe Alizée could be the lovely little keyboardist/clean vocalist, like Ensiferum style.

I am a fan of Zeppelin and Sabbath. Never a fan of Judas Priest. Never could stomach the 80's metal. What you call thrash metal 3 chord guitar riffs and the same so called melody over and over. Very monotonous. Thanks for the breakdown and the evolution of metal.

I appreciated 80s metal for what they've done for the more progressive and experimental bunch of the 90s. Well, Megadeth was actually one of my old favorites, they were so better than Metallica.

But yeah, i'm truly a 90s metal and 70s metal guy. Van Halen was a great pioneer of the shred, and the 90s brought all the really spotlight genres like Viking Metal, which has beautiful fantasy melodies relating to nature and nordic tales of old.
Most can't imagine Alizée do anything in the more harsher genres like hard rock or heavy metal. But i'm a musical analyst and experimenter, personally I think she can tweak the genre well enough to fit her, and i'll tell you that would be most epic. "Alizée's Last Stand", maybe with Pagey and Petrucci on twin guitar harmonies?

Anyone can hear this song and say, "Alizée can't do that!"
I say otherwise, i've known the riff for this song for about 4 months now, and i've experimented with the vocals a little, I say if she used a vocal harmony with the melodic guitar in place of the Petri growls, she'll have something beautiful, also, the male choirs can be updated to include Alizée, giving it a gender harmony of deep tenors and her somewhat alto voice. Trust me, i've done it before.

I'd love to have a duet with her on this song.
I would love it, I would melt of pure euphoria.

Just goes to show that metal is not all about blastbeats, metal pushes limits, metal is what is beyond comprehension, what is beyond mentality, what is beyond what is expected, it transcends limits, expectations, styles, and stereotypes. This is Opeth's Coil
