Haha I wasn't trolling, though! Listen to the guitarist in the Texas Troubadours video and that's not far from some 90s death metal riffs.

I was talking about the short vid Eminence posted Though I can see why you would think that with the vid you posted.
This song always comes up when I think of metal, partly becouse its from Heavy Metal the movie and also becouse "heavy metal" are lyrics to the song 
Don Felder Heavy Metal Takin' A Ride
I really love that spacey flanged out guitar tone too, pretty groovy classic tune all around.

I actually haven't watched Heavy Metal. I've known about it since I was really young and would see it at blockbuster but still haven't seen it. I should do that...

This is what came to mind and I had to go find it.
Sergeant Thomas Baker, United States Army
With rare exceptions, the American warfighter is known for his bravery under fire. However, some tales are so outsized as to be almost unbelievable – but they are true. This is the first article in our “American Heroes” series highlighting these stories.
The Battle of Saipan. It’s no secret that Saipan was a nasty place, culminating in a terrifying banzai charge by an estimated 5,000 Japanese soldiers.
Baker’s had already cemented his legend before the charge by charging across open terrain under enemy machine gun fire to fire a bazooka into an enemy pillbox, killing 12 men in the fortified position. He then took a rear security position as his squad advanced across open terrain. He surprised a group of 6 enemy soldiers concealed and waiting to ambush the next group of Americans to pass. He shot all 6 dead.
Several days later, Baker surprised another group of Japanese soldiers. This time there were 12 soldiers manning a concealed machine gun, lying in wait behind American lines. Baker personally shot all 12 of the Japanese, preventing a devastating ambush.
As if those heroics weren’t legendary, the then-Private was on the front lines during that fateful bonzai charge.
Dug into a foxhole, Baker was wounded in the abdomen as he shot down scores of the enemy until he was out of ammunition. The then began using his rifle as a club against more than 10 more attackers.
Seeing Baker wounded, a fellow soldier tried to carry him back for medical aid but was shot and killed in the process. Baker decided no more Americans would die trying to save them and simply asked to be left propped up against a tree, facing the enemy.
His last known words were, “Give me your .45”. A fellow soldier complied and Baker was last seen alive propped against a tree, Colt 1911 (fully loaded with 8 rounds) in hand, calmly facing the enemy.
When the Americans repelled the banzai attack and retook the position, Baker was still there. His gun was empty and there were 8 dead Japanese in front of him.
Baker was posthumously promoted to Sergeant and awarded the Medal of Honor for all of his actions on Saipan.
Baker’s Medal of Honor Citation reads as follows:
When his entire company was held up by fire from automatic weapons and small-arms fire from strongly fortified enemy positions that commanded the view of the company, Sgt. (then Pvt.) Baker voluntarily took a bazooka and dashed alone to within 100 yards of the enemy. Through heavy rifle and machinegun fire that was directed at him by the enemy, he knocked out the strong point, enabling his company to assault the ridge.
Some days later while his company advanced across the open field flanked with obstructions and places of concealment for the enemy, Sgt. Baker again voluntarily took up a position in the rear to protect the company against surprise attack and came upon two heavily fortified enemy pockets manned by two officers and 10 enlisted men which had been bypassed. Without regard for such superior numbers, he unhesitatingly attacked and killed all of them.
Five hundred yards farther, he discovered 6 men of the enemy who had concealed themselves behind our lines and destroyed all of them.
On 7 July 1944, the perimeter of which Sgt. Baker was a part was attacked from three sides by from 3,000 to 5,000 Japanese. During the early stages of this attack, Sgt. Baker was seriously wounded but he insisted on remaining in the line and fired at the enemy at ranges sometimes as close as 5 yards until his ammunition ran out. Without ammunition and with his own weapon battered to uselessness from hand-to-hand combat, he was carried about 50 yards to the rear by a comrade, who was then himself wounded.
At this point Sgt. Baker refused to be moved any farther stating that he preferred to be left to die rather than risk the lives of any more of his friends. A short time later, at his request, he was placed in a sitting position against a small tree. Another comrade, withdrawing, offered assistance.
Sgt. Baker refused, insisting that he be left alone and be given a soldier’s pistol with its remaining 8 rounds of ammunition. When last seen alive, Sgt. Baker was propped against a tree, pistol in hand, calmly facing the foe.
Later Sgt. Baker’s body was found in the same position, gun empty, with 8 Japanese lying dead before him. His deeds were in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Army.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Heavily secluded from all but faith, a family in hiding from the world Firm praying, blind loyalty, reciting words divine, from the eldest to the youngest one Their sheer belief in the sons return, if not stayed true, in the abyss would burn The apparition, a messenger of the eternal scripture Phantom of shine, disembodied and descent of heaven The apparition, her appearance was so real Without suspicion, all the prayers of the family were finally heard On a humid spring evening when the idyll couldnt be more perfect Out from their flower garden, through the blinders came an overwhelming light They gathered on the porch and stood and watched in awe Angelic deity, so clean, like the purest dream Their fingers laced together, as they dropped to their knees worshipping Happy pearly tears, oh such beauty lives Sweet angels dei look up on me, the apparition spoke with a silky yet whirring voice of wonder You have been faithful to the omnipotent, I come to grant you a challenge of life Time to show your true worth to the Lord A paradise awaits the few undoubting To measure up and prove them self abiding Fulfill the needs of dominus Then it disappeared, the unearthly seer, left the witnesses impaired Now they knew for sure that praying was the door to his holiness embrace The parents and younglings went inside and began chanting pages In front of the altar that they had built next to the tepid white tile store The apparition, she came and gave them hope The apparition, why would she dupe, poor the people thought Their black bound bible got scrutinized, inside the fathers head a voice would rise Which said An unbeliever (the filthy child) among your flock (I order you to punish) Your scrupling daughter (that whoring freak) is against us (and make her bleed) He yanked her arm and pulled her outside, shoved her to the dirty wall of the tool shed While hearing the apparition Whipped her good til it got messy, grabbed an axe he was steered by frenzy Just do it the voice kept ranting As he cut away his little girl, someone walked up behind him screaming begging Cried in panic He turned around and saw his loving wife, without a blink he then knew to attack her Voice kept praising Feeding her the hatchet as the apparition kept applauding the spouses onslaughter Limbs was flying The only child remaining was his body who saw the whole thing from the kitchen window Shocked in terror Then the voice said I shall appear, you have proven yourself worthy Bring me the last life of your family Called the boy out then came the light, there it was the apparition Reached out for his traumatized sons small hand Free from sin youll come with me The apparition, a messenger of the eternal scripture Phantom of shine, disembodied and descent of heaven The apparition, her appearance was so real Without suspicion, all the prayers of the family were finally The apparition changed form into a contorted creature Held the child in its bosom and vanished in a laughter The father now roams around the little flower garden Gods work he did it with pride, the final lock on the gate is now open

@Shroomism. I haven't been into metal like that (Spawn of Possession) for a while now, but those types of bands still have the coolest album art I think. I still kinda like Beyond Creation though

MArty Friedman is easily one of my favorite metal guitarists, such soulful melodic and skillful shredding:
Marty Friedman performs "Amagi Goe" live
His chops are top notch, he is like the David Gilmour of metal 
Marty Friedman vs Dave Mustaine Guitar Battle - Woodstock '99
And here is some killer prog metal for good measure featuring John Petrucci:
Liquid Tension Experiment - "Paradigm Shift" - Live 2008

This is the most metal thing I know of, off hand. Heavy Metal attracts sharks.
The reasoning is that the sounds seem like that of struggling fish. Sharks rock.

That's pretty cool. There's a problem in the metal community though, and I knew I would see this too, but the comments are full of people bitching about the genres as usual "Darkest hour isn't death metal! God, learn your subgenres bro!"

Through heavy rifle and machinegun fire that was directed at him by the enemy, he knocked out the strong point, enabling his company to assault the ridge.
Some days later while his company advanced across the open field flanked with obstructions and places of concealment for the enemy, Sgt. Baker again voluntarily took up a position in the rear to protect the company against surprise attack and came upon two heavily fortified enemy pockets manned by two officers and 10 enlisted men which had been bypassed. Without regard for such superior numbers, he unhesitatingly attacked and killed all of them.
Five hundred yards farther, he discovered 6 men of the enemy who had concealed themselves behind our lines and destroyed all of them.
On 7 July 1944, the perimeter of which Sgt. Baker was a part was attacked from three sides by from 3,000 to 5,000 Japanese. During the early stages of this attack, Sgt. Baker was seriously wounded but he insisted on remaining in the line and fired at the enemy at ranges sometimes as close as 5 yards until his ammunition ran out. Without ammunition and with his own weapon battered to uselessness from hand-to-hand combat, he was carried about 50 yards to the rear by a comrade, who was then himself wounded.
At this point Sgt. Baker refused to be moved any farther stating that he preferred to be left to die rather than risk the lives of any more of his friends. A short time later, at his request, he was placed in a sitting position against a small tree. Another comrade, withdrawing, offered assistance.
Sgt. Baker refused, insisting that he be left alone and be given a soldier’s pistol with its remaining 8 rounds of ammunition. When last seen alive, Sgt. Baker was propped against a tree, pistol in hand, calmly facing the foe.
Later Sgt. Baker’s body was found in the same position, gun empty, with 8 Japanese lying dead before him. His deeds were in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Army.
Dude scored 2 killionaires and a killtrocity on a single life. Respect.

No Pachoo's allowed. GTFO.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

This song is prog rock but for being from 71 it has some incredibly heavy almost metal esque distorted guitar starting around 2:20
Pink Floyd: One Of These Days (BBC 1971)
Some of the nastiest slide guitar playing I have ever heard, and really smooth bass and drums throughout as well.
-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

I think it's normally done on a lap steel, and apparently he just played that song for the first time outside of being with Pink Floyd very recently. He nailed it on lap steel. I think he does it both ways, cos on the Pompeii dvd he uses his regular electric guitar the whole time and I can't remember if it was a Tele but I think it was a Strat. Regardless, his sound was fucking huge on that track.
I hear a lot of borrowing of that sound by more modern rock bands, especially Tool. Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead also cited the sound of that album (Meddle) as an influence years ago during their Kid A/Amnesiac era.

I know on the PULSE dvd/ cd he uses a lap steel. The bbc version is hard to tell, could be a lapsteel for sure but it has solid electric guitar sound too.
Think I saw an article about him playing it live recently actually now that you mention it.
Pink Floyd definitely influenced a ton of different people and genres, many whom probably don't even realize it.

I watched that movie a ton as a kid too Used to sing along to the whole movie with a childhood friend, we knew pretty much all the words
Classico is one of my favorite songs/ scenes in that movie, everything about it is great.

The scaly foot gastropod is the only known organism to incorporate iron into it's skeleton, making it the most metal organism on the planet.
