The Metal & Classical Connection

Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Brewster's Millions Of Rants with The Metal & Classical Connection. I've had the basic idea for this rant-lesson on the backburner for a while and I'm happy to finally create this one and share it with viewers out there - so let's dive in!
There's no question that classical music has had a direct and longstanding influence on hard rock and metal musicians for a long time, and for guitarists, it seems that neoclassical rock & metal techniques, tonalities, and sounds are what most metal guitarists in the modern age reach for and use in their music. With that in mind, this episode draws the direct link and connection that exists between metal musicians and classical music.
After the opening rant, this episode eventually turns into a lesson, and we're hitting four "moshing" excerpts from four legendary classical composers - including Beethoven, Mozart, Paganini, and Bach. The sections of music we're hitting here includes a Drop-D version of Beethoven's Symphony No.5, a shred-approved version of Mozart's Symphony No.25, the main theme for Paganini's Caprice No.24, and the opening section of Bach's horrifically epic Toccata & Fugue In D Minor.
Needless to say, if you're interested in learning more about the connections that exists between metal and classical music, a player wanting to add some famous classical themes to their practice routine, a viewer enjoying this years "Metal Month" on the LNL channel, or maybe you're just curious what all the fuss is about - this rant-lesson is totally for you!
