I get where you're coming from, and agree with you AAG.
But there is zero classical influence in Black Sabbath, or Motorhead. Are you saying that they don't play heavy metal, because they aren't influenced by classical music?
Classical music has definitely become a major influence in a lot of post-1980 metal., but it didn't all begin with classical.

If you want to really give credit where credit is due, then the roots of metal go way before the modern metal that everyone is mentioning. Classical music is where it all began. ...(this is a statement more than a question)
