And to find a metal song better than jazz will be enough. This guy lives for jazz. I like it, too, but I still find it too confining. Metal is much more expressive. That is a fact.
With metal, you can write about alien abduction, growing old, getting wasted, getting laid, getting a life, politics, religion, pop culture, historical themes, anything.
Jazz at its best was nothing but improv. and weird chords.
Well if it only has to be better then jazz you shouldn't have a problem with some of the choices provided. Jazz is great, but it's more of a wankfest then any metal I've ever heard. Jazz is ALL about showing off, and it's all improv. Better yet it's not even well constructed much of the time. Dream theater should do fine, as would anything else thats technical. It's a shame he probably wouldn't be open to death vox because I was listening to emperor an hour or so ago and it seems like it would really fit what you would need. "Inno satana" for example, holy shit...could you get more beautiful and abrasive all at once? But with that though aside, I haven't heard kayo dot but I might have to check them out after seeing how many people gave the thumbs up on that one. They used to be maudlin of the well or whatever right?
Hey I just thought of something-play "the wanderer" instrumental from the second emperor cd. It's got a somewhat metallic edge to it, doesn't have the death vox, and has a good balance of classical influence but isn't overboard.
