Heavy metal artists of the 80s deliberately copied and studied techniques of baroque composers like Vivaldi and Bach and it's well documented in old heavy metal magazine articles.  I think it's written (academically) about in this book: http://www.geocities.com/athens/academy/6422/rev0369.html

I think it's in that book, at any rate.

Yeah, but having the talent to "pull it off" didn't come from the books! Pretty Amazing!

Yngwie is the one that really popularised neo-classical shred.

Why the rebuttal?  I'm just stating that metal and the baroque have deeply intertwined roots.

Not in any way meant as a rebuttal. Sorry that it was taken so!

Sorry, dunno why I was feeling touchy and sorry for taking the thread off track.

Here, check out Randy Rhoads:

2:44 is pretty clear.

Edit: Sorry, wrong link.  2:44 on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS8c0DWqIEI&feature=related

This link is not Vivaldi, I think Rimsky-Korsakov wrote the Flight of the Bumblebee.  Watch the first go 'round then fast forward to 4:40  and be blown away!
