I think you guys should stop showing people only death metal like it's the only genre of metal out there. It's pretty obvious that people who don't listen to metal will dislike death metal(even some metalheads don't like it), so maybe show them something more familiar with clean vocals and with some things that the genres got common( example: Give a techno fan a listen to a metal band wich electro sounds and stuff like that). Who knows maybe you they are going to listen to metal after you've shown them some of it.(If somethings off in my comment I apologise, I'm not a native English speaker)

The metalhead classical fan seemed very intelligent. The other fans were a bit closed-minded. They would've been surprised to know that metal fans and classical fans are almost exactly alike in terms of how they choose and listen to music.

[The_Buff_Guy]

I respect the SHIT out of classical music as a metal head. Were it not for these fuckin geniuses, metal wouldn't exist today. Not to mention metal takes most of its direct inspiration from this style of music. There is no music more similar to metal on earth than classical, and that's a fact.

[insanetaco]

classical is actually pretty close with metal surprisingly.

[SiriusSoull]

How did you not show them Fleshgod Apocalypse, or Septicflesh, Nightwish, Epica - anything symphonic really

[kevgmei]

You're showing them the wrong metal, dude! Trying to break people in with the most brutal shit is how to scare people away, and why metal is so underappreciated.

[Goabnb]

Why would you give them death metal and not something like technical or progressive metal, even within the death metal realm?

[SomeGuy_GRM]

Not at all surprised you found a metalhead at a classical concert.Symphonic and Progressive Metal is what got me into Classical.

[lewy_g_official]

To be fair, not even I would like the music you played to them and I fucking love metal. You can't go showing non-metal listeners extreme stuff first because then their opinion is never gonna change. :P

[rodgill]

heavy metal music and classical always have a beautiful relationship together (when done right too)
some folks gets it and others do not

[ididitfun]

definitely should have played some power metal

[iron]

Dude, show some metallica, some iron maiden, some Black Sabbath, even Led Zeppelin, show some fucking melodyc music dude, maybe they have some different opinion...

[ManuelMartinez-pdsj]

You present shitty metal to them. The vocals obviously are the most distasteful aspect of death metal. I'm sure the could appreciate Conquering Dystopia, Blotted Science and even Fleshgodapocolypse. Atrayu sucks, no wonder she hated it.

[Vladnight]

Every classical music fan should listen to Therion - The Godfathers of Symphonic Metal.

[michaelborg]

Should've played them the song you put over this video.

[ARMERZ]

FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, EPICA, SEPTICFLESH Sonata Arctica, Rhapsody, Kamelot, Nightwish. If you wanted opinions from classical fans, you should have shown this bands, this bands have symphonic/ orchestral accompaniment, please be adaptive to the audience you're going to interview, invite their curiosity, make them intrigued in a way, "OH WOW orchestra and death metal vocals" or the great vocals invoked by Epica and Nightwish.

This vid disappoints me, please redo this, it shows that metalsucks really knows less about metal due to the lack of comprehension of what is adaptable to the "classical fans"

[arecold]

I think many Classical Music Fans will like Power Metal and Epic Metal and maybe other metal genres
