      It makes a lot of sense if you think about when heavy metal started (in the late '60s), and what it would have been influenced by. It's usually said to have evolved out of psychedelic/acid rock, which was kind of the successor to surf rock, once surf rock started to fade out of popularity. Psychedelic rock was (obviously) intended to accompany the use of drugs, but if you think about what psychedelic bands would have been listening to immediately prior to the genre's creation, it would have been surf rock and things like the Beatles. The Beach Boys definitely would have been taken into consideration too.
      So, modern metal retains some of those early characteristics and influences. Although, it has changed a lot over time too. There's still a lot of cross-pollination with hardcore punk. That's where metalcore comes from.

    For some of the people below: 1) Saying that a genre sucks because when you play it using other type of sound (even tough the same instruments) its sound less impressive, is like saying a great painting would look awkward with the wrong palette of colors. That's because you throw the whole thing out of balance. A certain style was music was made to invoke a certain kind of feeling, and for this you get both the melody/rythm and the tone/feeling with which is played right. David Lynch or other auteurs need to film their sets in a certain light, invoking a certain atmosphere, otherwise it would be just plain images that would impress no one. 2)There's also about who's playing it and how. The same musical part can sound different if a different person plays it with a different kind of conviction, if music was all about getting the notes from a page in the right order, it would be pretty boring affair. Obviously this guy in the video doesn't take it very seriously, but if Metallica played on Kill 'em All or Slayer on Reign in Blood as dispasionately as him, they wouldn't impress many people. The same is for all kinds of genres, if a jazz player plays his music without the right conviction and getting the right tone it would sound like pointless cacophony. If a flamenco player would play it without the ''latino spirit'' it would seem disspasionate and wouldn't get people to dance. The music part+the right tone+the right playing spirit=Great music. The same music part+wrong tone+wrong playing spirit=Bad music. Music is not just what's being played, but how it's played and in order to create a specific mood. 3)I hear people playing metal music on piano or harp and it sounds very good. Why? Probably because the people there actually play it seriously and with heart.

      Check out the likes of Link Wray and Dick Dale: these guys were among the earliest rockers to experiment with extreme rock and distortion, and a lot of their songs sit somewhere in this video's same strange grey area between surf rock and what would become heavy metal and punk.
      Back in the '80s, my friends and I - some of us traditional metal fans, some of us punk fans, others thrash and early black/death/doom metal fans - freely listened to classic surf rock, garage rock, and hard rock alongside thrash, metal and punk, and even where we didn't see eye to eye on later extreme music sometimes, we at least agreed that songs like Dick Dale's "Miserlou", the Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird", Link Wray's "Deuces Wild", Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode", or the Kinks' "You Really Got Me" were plenty metal or punk enough for any of us: it's where metal and punk were coming from all along.
      Of course, metal wouldn't split off into its own genre until Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and the like came along, but metal was there, in spirit, in rock all along (and something similar could be said for punk and the Ramones: punk rock has been there since the beginning). Or, to think of it a different way, that classic rock from the 50's and 60's never really went away, the metal and punk guys have just added a little extra distortion to it over the decades, but extreme rock was there since the beginning, and never really fell out of fashion.

    believe it or not, people actually get better when they don't use distortion 100% of the time. you work on technique, tone, and precision when you can actually hear each string and fret being pressed. thanks for this vid!

      Mmm not really, try learning sweep picking without distortion and then use distortion, You will realize that distortion actually makes Your mistakes more noticeable. That piece of advice came from jazz, blues and some rock musicians that dont use huge amounts of gain/distortion. For example play an arpeggio with crappy technique in the clean channel and then on a high gain channel, the clean will sound sort of decent and the 2nd One will sound like shit.

    He's youtube content creator who is funny without trying too hard to be. That deadpan stare into the cam cracks me up.
    Also: it's weird if you think about it, but you can't have metal without a certain level of technology. That distortion changes soo so much in the music. It's kinda crazy.
