When people say that metal and classical are alike, I see it as the regimented structure that people are drawn to. The melodic lines that seem to appear above a ton of other chaotic lines. Listen and compare Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Bach and, I dunno, Flight of Icaros by Emperor (since this seems to be the song being thrown around.) You'll hear the similarities, I'm sure you will.
Not only that, but Metal and Classical both have a very large sub - genre listing. When it comes to Classical, it's divided up mostly by time period. Metal, not so much. There's so many different ones that you can't really list them all right off the top of your head, because you'll miss a lot.
I like both. I like Mozart to Metallica, Bach to Satyricon. So, it's all in having to listen well and carefully.
Bragging about a diverse musical taste isn't cool in the slightest. In fact, it's so obnoxiously stupid that I'm surprised it's not a reportable offense
Okay, let's make me look bad. I wasn't trying to brag about diverse musical taste, I'm trying to say that I believe this is why people like both Metal and Classical genre's, a la my point of view.
