While it is true that the Roman god of fire and metal was Vulcan, the spurious reality of his down fall was based on his love for, "Rock'n out like a guitar god."
The Muses and Apollo complained to Zeus that Vulcan was, "Just so lame. All he wants to do is bang on his anvil all day. But the worst is that stupid air guitar he plays every time we're trying to do serious music..." One day Vulcan tried to play air guitar for Persephone. One thing led to another and Vulcan was kicked out of Olympus.
