  • Well everyone,
    It''s been 13 CZcams Halloween Octobers on here that I've wanted to tackle this and here we are. So the whole thing is....long haha. Tons of options, but in the end I wanted it to be typical song length and relying heavily on the "minor" in d minor. When I studied Bach in college, my mans wrote so much music I think we spent almost a month on him. And just like many of the greats, I didn't change anything hardly. Metal af.
    Thanks for everything. It means the world.
    Big ups,

    Some say Bach was the first Metalhead in history. Just hear his music and you would get metal vibes all over his body of work.

    Fun little story: my mom's not a metalhead, but she loves your covers. She also loves Toccata and Fugue, so much so that she had the organist play it at her and my dad's wedding, and listens to it all the time (especially around Halloween). So the second I saw the notification for this, I immediately told her and we listened to it together. Absolute banger, and mother-approved :D

    Black Sabbath: With our dark themes of the occult, drug use, mental illness and war we created heavy metal.
    Led Zeppelin: We took the sounds of Hendrix and Cream and amped up the heaviness to create the heavy metal sound.
    Hendrix/Clapton: We laid down the foundations for heavy metal via an aggressive form of blues-based psychedelic rock that uses fuzzy feedback sound effects.
    Chuck Berry: I innovated the electric guitar to make blues standards louder, planting the seed for not just metal, but all of rock music.
    Bach: Children, please.
