Me, I would class stuff such as Machine Head as Thrash too, they're a bit too fast to be normal heavy.

and that 7 billion comment was sarcasm, I think you missed it.

Like I said things would be easier if all sub genres were just put as either metal or heavy metal.
Actually, they would not be easier at all.

Think of how diverse metal bands are in sound.

You can not have Sonata Arctica and Gorgoroth labeled under one blanket genre, because while both metal they are incredibly NOT the same sub-genre.
