not what i meant at all, but i admit that's sort of the way it reads. OBVIOUSLY you you could play a folk song however you wanted, and that doesnt preclude it from being a folk song.

my point is, the mere influence of folk styles on any given bands music does not make it "folk music" (and therefore, not folk metal). that is, metal and folk are respectively in their strictest senses, mutually exclusive.
