I play guitar. It's been 13 years or so. I wish I could play the piano. I would love to play some Nocturnes of Chopin. Some Scherzo or Polonaise. If I happen to fall into the situation same as the Groundhog Day, I definitely will get my lessons:

I'm an elitist jerk with musicians. Millions of guitar players out there, 10% actually understand their place in a band of any type, only 10% of the remainder truly understand how to bring more to the equation than the number you are.
That being said, at one time my goal in life was to play in a symphony. As absurd as it sounds, I played a mean tuba. Damn good, too. If there was a knock, I understood too well my place in the arrangement; the foundation.
I never shoulda got rid of that tuba. One of these days, imma get another, practice up, and play again. I stay away from trance music, as its just lame and repetitive. And yet playing the old exercises over and over puts me on a different plane of existence, like I assume trance does for so many. The closest to peace with myself and my surroundings, the closest to normal, and a part of something bigger than myself I can ever remember being.
I started playing to have something in common with friends in Jr high. Sure enough, I lasted longer and did better than any of them. I strive so hard to be the type of person I played to be. And now, I'm finding that I didn't learn enough.
If i ever claim another religion, it'll be music.

Nothing like it. Trombone for me.
A lot of truth in this statement.
Welcome to church.
Gnarly dude. I play the last four you listed, but only keys and sax well enough to make coin. Also, the organ. Pretty wicked instrument right there.

To address your original question, about heavy music...
I was in a band named Rune for a while. It was a very worthwhile experience. I also wrote a bunch of songs and performed them with a drummer and guitarist under the name Mean Phoenix once upon a time.
I would give my right nut to become the new bassist for Breaking Benjamin, now that Ben is starting things up again.

Hammond B3, or pipe organ?
Played all of them, but 99% of the time it's pipes in a church.

I remember for a solid year (before I got a guitar) I wanted to learn how to play a Hammond B3 SO BAD.
You play keys?
