You mentioned in another thread that a lot of fans of metal also enjoy Wagner. I've also found this to be true. There's just that full-scale bombast blasting you in the face with Wagner, like on The Flying Dutchman, and obviously Flight of the Valkyries, that has the same spirit as metal.

Wagner's music is melodic but primal with violent undertones - at least that's my impression. He was very much into old pagan culture (Germanic in his case) something else that metal tends to have in common with him.

I think runningdownthatdream has hit the nail on the head re Wagner and heavy metal. It's the grandiose and heroic underscore - and paganism.

But I defy any fan of Black Sabbath or megadeath or any such outfit to sit through The Ring Cycle.

Maybe Black Sabbath or Megadeth performing The Ring Cycle.

Now that would be something else! And after that Napalm Death do Madam Butterfly. The possibilities are... erm.... well

Napalm Death doing Madam Butterfly would be a trip!
