Much the way that during the American Civil war the bugle was essential in rallying the troops and charging them forward music can be used in many ways and in some ways to create the future.
I like to sit back and have time travel fantasies.
Can you imagine if the HUNS or some other ancient marauding horde had Death Metal?
Like on a hillside about ten fools up there with drums and some yelling through horn.
The guitars would need BIG sound holes.
In those days you could strangle a guy and call that "Lyrics" to your song.
I would think that Genghis Khan would find Heavy Metal irritating noise in his ear...just a hunch... and so would a lot of his friends i bet until you get to western Siberia...now they would dig some Metallica...they do now!
I bet there are many early European tribes that would have loved Speed Metal along with the other folk music of the day.
They could have used Speed Metal to turn the tide when using untrained troops like Boudica had to do.
I think about her sometimes...she got her ass handed to her by the trained Romans.
What would a viking do with an IPOD in his helmet playing Speed metal?
Well for starters I bet nowdays there would be more kids named Yngwie!
Just thinkin'
