Beethoven is classical!

And Uriah Heep really isn't metal either.

Maybe its not fair in terms of how long the bands have been around.. but you have to face the fact that an old classic rock band is not going to get nearly as many responses from a site called metalsetlists.

Ya, they're more hard rock which is allowed on here. Even Pink Floyd and Rush who don't come close to being metal are allowed.

Pink Floyd and Rush are old classic rock bands and their setlists get lots of responses:

Just because you've never heard of them doesn't mean they don't exist.

The Dethklok/Mastodon tour was a current tour, so there are going to be a lot of sets posted about them. The line-up was pretty diverse (with bands that have definitely been around more than ten years), so lots of people are going to these shows and lots of people are liking these shows and lots of people are talking about these shows. No disrespect to Uriah Heep, I'm sure metal would be a pretty different place without them in the past, but face the facts: They are nowhere near as popular as Dethklok or Mastodon currently. And I don't know if I'd put them above Tegan & Sara either.
