A lot of those bands are not speed metal.
In fact, almost none of those bands could be labelled "Speed metal" save for Helloween, Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards and Sonata Arctica.

Well, he said both "heavy metal" and "speed metal." Some of the bands he listed were clearly not speed metal, as well. So I figured it was more of a vague "Kinda like this..." statement than an "exact specifications" request.

Besides, few but the most hard-core can even tell the different between speed metal and power metal (To be honest, the only difference I see is that power metal tends to have more of a melody to it).

Here, I'll go through and give them general labels, just in case he cares.

EDIT: And wait, Blind Guardian was pretty speed-metalish in their early years, too (Pre-Nightfall on Middle-Earth).

That much is true. But the same thing with In Flames. They WERE melodic death metal. Now they're just shit.
