    A lot of Vivaldi's compositions do feel like early (very early!) steps towards the rhythm, speed, and power of metal. He often pushed the instruments to their limits in a way that was ahead of his time. Check out his composition La Follia (The Madness) sometime--I've heard it described as "heavy wood".

He would be another living legend with the best musicians possible around him. I even dare to presume Dave himself would be just a session rythm guitarist in some Vivaldi's band/project/record. A happy session rythm guitarist, by the way, and, IMHO, this scenario seems more accurate and realistic. Once again - with all possible respect towards mr. Mustaine.

    The "singing" with annoying vocals destroys a good portion of metal for us non-metalheads. Even if the underlying music is top quality not everybody can tolerate that shouting. Then those lyrics, the concepts of metal is not everybody's cup of tea. If the vocals could sohehow get detached from the metal music then probably 15% of the music would become attractive to non-metalheads. The other 85% is still trash.

Even some more commercial bands are joining in. For instance Metallica released their second such album (S&M 2) which came out last year. It is well worth checking out and features a classical (upright) bassist doing a version of Anaesthesia Pulling Teeth.

    I always love hearing metal covers of classical music. It works so well, especially Mozart. My first exposure to it was a band called Scatterbrain, who would put a Mozart cover on each album. Then I love to find new Neoclassical bands and give a listen. My favorite I have found is Exmortus. They're like Death Thrash with heavy classical melodies and classical covers.

    I mean, I keep hearing about "classically trained" metal musicians, so this actually makes perfect sense to me. I always thought Beethoven's Eine Kline Nacht Music's third movement was basically metal on a piano. This is to say nothing of later composers like Rachmaninoff. And Vivaldi has a special place in my heart as I learned to play most of 4 Seasons on the violin as a teen, while only really coming to love metal as an older adult. LOVED that comparison. Thanks!

LOL Throw in a drum set made of kettle drums and an electric violin. Accompany both sides of the coin with traditional instruments and modern electrics to round out the sound of the orchestra, and you have a seriously amazing concert in the making just breathing new life into old music!
