am not a musical expert
just the way i hear.. metal = spikes, leather, satan, drugs, sex (sin), fast/intense drums (drummers should be extremely talented and capable of playing things 99% of other drummers cannot - blast beats and real fast doublebass ie "double kick"), fast/intense guitar - "speed picking" with heavy distortion (and reverb for black metal), and vocals range from epic to the grotesque (demon like)
rock is a very old genre started much much earlier hard rock is a sub genre of it...comparitively lighhter to heavy metal stuff...
