This is for the first time that we have managed to examine it in real detail. There has never been one to examine the scale like this before, " he said. The most interesting findings of the North's research is the similarity between the classical music enthusiast and heavy metal. "One of the most striking is the similarities between fans of classical music and heavy metal. They're both creative, calm but not outgoing, " he said.
