Many have already touched on it, but for me it's all about DIVERSITY. Where else but metal can you mix thundering drums, crushing riffs, acoustical interludes, choirs, opera-style singing, growls and building orchestral crescendos ALL IN ONE SONG! You'd scare away the majority of your fan base if you tried that in any other form of music.
LONG LIVE METAL! The true meaning of "Diversity"
