Talk:Metal opera

Untitled
Would Fear Factory's Obsolete fit into this genre? The rock opera article states that "the rock opera tells a coherent (if sometimes sketchy) story, often with first-person lyrics sung by characters", which certainly seems to be the case for Obsolete. I don't want to add it myself, as I have to admit that I only first saw the term "metal opera" last week when I was reading about Tommy and following the link to rock opera, and I am thus not familiar with the genre. It seems interesting, though. Durga2112 02:09, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

would maybe a small reference to the symphonic metal genre be a good idea? not sure on this one, I'm not too operasavvy so I don't know much about metal opera either...iceheart 20:22 29 December 2005 GMT

Metal opera is hardly Symphonic Metal
This redirect is completely misleading. The way the AfD entry was made for this page was clearly biased towards redirecting it to Symphonic Metal: Symphonic metal is a term used to describe metal music that has symphonic elements; that is, elements that sound similar to a classical symphony.. Metal opera is the analogue of Rock opera where, instead of Rock music you have Metal music. It´s a complete nonsense to redirect it to Symphonic metal. I think it should be better to redirect this page to Rock opera and include information about Metal opera inside the rock opera article. By the way, almost all Metal opera albums are linking to Rock opera simply because if they linked to Metal opera they would fall on Symphonic metal page, which is completely wrong. If anyone disagree with it, please consider discussing it on the talk page, so we do not start a edit war. Regards to you all. Loudenvier 19:57, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

The Metal Opera
As Rock Opera makes only superficial mention of Metal Opera, I have redirected it to The Metal Opera. I don't, however, think that reversion is out of the question.. Metalrobot 16:12, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
