Help make ‘Lemmium’ the new chemical name for Heavy Metal in the Periodic Table

So every time a “heavy metal” musician dies a new element should be named after them?

In any case, I’d prefer that chemical elements are named after chemists, or failing that, physicists.

And it’s not really fair on all the other popular music genres that don’t have matching terms in the Table.

The band is often considered a precursor to, or one of the earliest members of, the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, which re-energised heavy metal in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Despite this, Lemmy always dubbed their music as simply “rock and roll”.

Put it this way. Would you prefer the ‘father’ of metal get the honor or the bastard son of it? The former would result in a metal called Osbournium and I KNOW nobody wants that. Tempting serious accidents that is……

• Despite this, Lemmy always dubbed their music as simply “rock and roll”.

Then, like I suggested, name an asteroid, or “space” rock, after him…

Anyway they can call it what they like, but personally I think a jocular reference like this tends to lower the tone.

Impressionist metal? That’s a new one. Motorhead were pretty well the British version of acid rock.

To me, Rock and Roll refers to music with a Rock and Roll beat: Chuck Berry’s Maybellene, The Yardbirds’ Heart Full of Soul, Don McLean’s American Pie. It is an assymetrical beat, with the stronger beat shortly following the weaker.

By the mid seventies Rock and Roll was seriously on the way out and was being replaced by the simpler “Rock” beat. Compare Slade’s Cum On Feel the Noize with that of Quiet Riot. The former is rock and roll, the latter is rock.

Motorhead to my knowledge were never rock and roll.

Ace of Spades is an all time classic R&R number. Not metal at all. Motorhead riffs use alternate picking. Metal is based round all down picking. Technical things distinguish music-genres for the musicians involved, not what people think when they hear a sound they are unfamiliar with.

But he wasn’t actually “wrong”. It’s up to artists to decide whether or not their works are part of this or that movement. Assigning works to this or that movement without the artist’s agreement is a matter of opinion and academic convention, not “fact”. For example, a work may exhibit various visual characteristics associated with a particular movement, but the artist may have been very unsympathetic to the theoretical aims of that movement.

The point is there’s nothing very “objective” about art movements. They’re artistic categories bulging with subjective intentions and assumptions. It’s the role of art historians to record what the artists themselves were meaning and intending with their work.

What if I started an art movement and claimed my work belonged to that movement, and other artists joined in, but then decided I hated that movement and assigned my work to a movement with a completely different name? Since both movements are entirely my invention, the art historians could only be accurate by recording that I worked within a movement I’d created, then changed to a different movement.

These aren’t scientific categories.

Difference in sound
Rock or may be plain hard rock utilizes the classic overdrive sound created when the tubes on an amplifier or specific part on it like the drive knob have been pushed to the limit. This creates a long sustained sound with a twang and the distortion is light. As for metal rock the distortion is strong as the overdrive is sustained longer creating a deeper, heavier sound. With plain hard rock a classic drum set with no double bass pedal is used. Double bass pedal is when you have got two pedals or just one with two separate mallets attached to a double chained rod. Heavy metal utilizes plenty of these. Some early metal rock artists include Led Zeppelin, deep purple and Black Sabbath and all these got huge fan followings.

Summary:
1. Rock is the main music genre while metal is a sub genre of rock.
2. Rock sound’s overdrive has a lighter distortion than metal rock which has strong distortion.
3. Metal rock has a deeper, heavier sound than plain rock or simply rock sound.
4. Rock uses classic drum set without double bass pedal while metal uses double bass pedal for the drum set.

I think the astute art historian can do a bit better than that.

In cases where little is recorded, they have no choice but to classify the artworks on its own form. They don’t know whether the bloke who did one end of the Parthenon frieze considered himself to be in a different school from the bloke who did the other end.

They regard him as one of the founders of a movement called Impressionism by most artists identified with it, but they always point out that he himself rejected the term.

Whichever genre one feels they belong to it is largely to do with fundamental attitude. The attitude Lemmy personified was the ‘sex, drugs, R&R one. This is distinctly different to the metal attitude which takes itself and everything else very seriously.
