I can't disagree with this.
Though I still maintain that metal is a seperate genre of music from rock and roll completely. Punk is a devolution of rock and roll, but metal is its own beast with very very distinct subgenres of its own.
I agree that the groundbreaking bands don't say "Hey, we're going to dissect multiple genres and combine them into something new." It's a natural process.
But me saying that, say, Iron Maiden is a metal band and not a hard rock band is like me saying that an apple is a fruit and not a vegetable. Iron Maiden has all of the charactersitics of being a metal band and not a hard rock band.
