Youll find just as much appeal listening to this as you would listening to symphonic metal. It takes the same sort of appreciation.

I wasnt comparing the two, I was saying how I think people who appreciate symphonic metal would also find something they like in classical, considering Beethoven's musical genius far outweighs anyone in the symphonic metal realm.

uhhh well comparing the two of them doesn't exactly work out. They both approached composing in two completely different ways. Bach was a theorist/mathematician, while Beethoven (by the time of his fifth symphony) was deeply emotional in his compositional style.

The fifth symphony is a perfect example of that. It chronicles his deep depression and suicidal thoughts over his deafness(first movement), and finally his decision not to kill himself (second/third movements), and then just plain ecstasy or whatever (fourth movement).

That's also why I find it funny when people say something like "oh wow that first movement is so enjoyable." It's about him wanting to commit suicide. :| It's not supposed to be enjoyable.

I just realised how long it's been since I've listened to classical
