Heavy metal is the music that has become a global power. The energy of heavy metal music is multiplied by the power of the lyrics urging the listeners to open their eyes and minds, inspiring millions. The predecessors of heavy metal, 'Black Sabbath', completely changed the face of the rock music in the early 70s and enthused a legion of bands to create an absolutely new powerful sound.

The term 'classic rock' is usually used to describe the rock music of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, which is now still remembered and celebrated. Despite hundreds of new music genres and all the advances in the music recording technology, many people remain devoted to the classic rock music, which was arguably much more spirited and inspired. The younger rock audience, though, often prefers modern metal and hardcore sounds forgetting that many of today's rock gods were heavily inspired by the heritage of the classic rock music.
