Millions of Americans, whether they actually lived in the era or not, love classic rock. There are thousands of classic rock radio stations around the country. With all of the popular rock bands around there is still no comparison to the music known as classic rock. Classic rock entailed a wide variety of different music styles including some heavy metal music.

There are many heavy metal fans. These fans are often known as metal heads. While there are still a few heavy metal bands around today, but it is apparent that the heavy metal scene is not exactly what it used to be. There are many groups that try to play heavy metal music, but their music can not always be considered straight up heavy metal.

Many modern day bands are known for trying to combine a number of music genres together. When hip hop music first became popular there were a number of bands who were trying to incorporated heavy metal and hip hop music together. While many music listeners enjoyed this combination there were many who were outraged.

Even with some fans outraged there were many bands who still continued to combine multiple music genres; however, a number of true heavy metal bands stuck to their roots and continued to support only the heavy metal music genre. This was not just an event that happened with heavy metal. There are many other music genres, including country music and pop music, that have been combined together.

What makes a true heavy metal band? Well many metal music players and music lovers would come up with a number of reasons, but many individuals claim that it has to do with the musical instruments played and the way that they are played. There are many heavy metal band that were famous for their loud playing guitars. Other band members of the band included a singer, a drummer, and a base player.

During the classic rock years many heavy metal bands were referred to as hair bands. This was because many band members wore long and outrageously styled hair. In addition to their hair, the outfits of many earlier heavy metal bands were something that is rarely seen today.

It is rare to find a band that is solely labeled as a heavy metal band anymore. There are bands that may be considered a sub-genre of heavy metal. Many heavy metal music styles are also referred to as hard rock or progressive rock. Even though heavy metal may not be what it used to be back in the day there are still many individuals who enjoy listening to new rock bands. If the new music does not meet their satisfaction they can always turn their radio on to their local classic rock station to experience the real stuff.
