Heavy Metal emerged in the 1970s and gave rise to several subgenres, such as Thrash Metal, Power Metal, Death Metal, Prog Metal, Industrial Metal, New Metal, Speed Metal and Metalcore. Although all the terms mentioned in the introduction to this note help to catalog the many Metal bands that emerge day after day, there are those who do not mind this nomenclature. This is the case of Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden.

“Heavy Metal is not a pure, complete, definable form of music. I mean it is made up of many elements in itself. Now, for what one person considers ‘heavy’, there will be another person who will say ‘no, that’s not heavy, that’s classic Rock’. Now, we also have all these categories that I have no interest in whatsoever!”, said Bruce, during an interview with the Mexican website ATMósferas Magazine.
“What I mean is, when I listen to something, all I care about is that it’s a good song. I don’t care if it’s Sepultura, Scorpions, Cinderella or Uli Jon Roth; I don’t care who it is, as long as it’s a good song. It was like when I was growing up, because we didn’t have any of those ridiculous categories”, added Bruce, who made a peculiar comparison to detail his point of view.
