Metal's roots go far beyond and before American music like blues, country, and rock, and can be found in European compositions from centuries ago such as those I referred to above.


Well yeah, but that's not really surprising - jazz was influenced by earlier European classical music as were some styles of minstrel banjo and ragtime guitar playing, both of which made their way into country and the blues along with folk influences from hundreds and hundreds of years ago, etc. etc. etc.

So I guess I'd totally agree that "metal" (if it even makes sense to talk about it like it's a single thing from a music theory standpoint) isn't just a subset of rock, but I don't think it's particularly unique in drawing influences from old/diverse sources.
