hmm... Metal is the best genre and you cant play Metal with an acoustuc.
Metal is a GOOD genre and it CAN be played pretty well on acoustic. :/
Also, who said you cant make music with an acoustic?
I'd say its best if you create music on Acoustic and fill the gaps when you go to electric.

Do you know wat does an electric guitar do?
1> it amplifies the music
2> variations in sound like distortions etc. r done
and point 1 is main cause.
Get hold of some Santana songs and u'll get to know wat Guitar is?
Electric guitar is for converting minute acoustics to electrical signals which can later be amplified; modifies; mixed with effects.. etc.
Completely agree about Santana.

Uhh... actually all those Symphonic Metal can be composed with an Acoustic. I dunno about others..
From Wiki :-
Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in England and the United States. With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness
And AFAIK, you cant have loads of distortion on an Acoustic...
This is just so vague.
Anything can be composed on an acoustic. Actually the demarkation itself is vague. I have an acoustic which I can join to the amps. It s got two pickups; one that was present before; and one I added myself.

Agreed.
The bolded text in ur comment consists the characteristics of Metal but IT IS not Metal, its a part of Metal. All songs are composed in acoustic guitar and then the distortions, loudness etc are integrated into it to check which suits more for the tone/soul of the song.
Metallica has sung "St. Anger" and "Nothing else matter" too.
from other thrds I'm updated dat u r goin to learn Guitar, first learn accoustic, its ur BASIC. Like learning A,B,C,D b4 writing "SlipKnot".
If u r master of Acoustic, u can play anything that is called a guitar
Agreed again.
About me, I hear almost all kinda songs; not addicted to anything. Heard almost all of Metallica 2 years ago. Am listening to Metallica once again nowadays.
I am currently a rythm guitarist in my circle of friends. Played Metal songs like (during events)...
The Trooper, Fear of the Dark => Iron Maiden
Sad but true, Whiskey in the Jar => Metallica
Trooper, Sad but true in my own guitar.
And about the acoustics; hear Dire Straits, Eagles. You'll know why I like acoustics so much...
