Most metal doesn't have any notes at all in.

The fact a song might be in a key that doesn't contain an "A" doesn't mean the song won't have an "A" in it. There's passing tones, chromatic runs, the pesky "A" will sneak in somewhere

Possibly, but not very likely in rock. The minor 2nd isn't at all common even as a passing note, I don't think. Jazz, on the other hand…

Yeah, damn OP sucks... and he was probably drunk and/or stoned when he asked that question, and he probably can't play guitar for shit either or remember any scales except position 1 of the pentatonic and he probably has to hide behind all his fancy effect pedals to get his guitar work to sound in anyway interesting.

But I didn't put the original post up

Does the lack of an A also include the lyrics? and are we talking just A or its derivatives flats and sharps and is A# just Bflat so do we have to exclude Bflat and G# ...... 

However this came to mind:

Take the A train in e flat 

DesVegas

Just A, not its derivitives

My Grandad had a piano with a few dead keys, maybe this is a similar situation.

Lixarto

I used to have that piano too!

Fairly sure there's no A in this:

Fantastic @robinbowes have a biscuit.

Is that excluding the Am chord?
