I'm telling you,they ARE not prog    lets move on squeeze them into some proto-prog-related category if you must

Hi Andrea, the story about your first pay is really touching... hope you now spend your next pays with real prog albums!!!!

IC'mon Magog, it was 1993!

BTW I've always loved them!

that is a CRAP live album...the only live ye need is rock in rio and have ye heard BRAVE NEW WORLD?...masterpiece...beats the crap out of any prog metal album ever released

 thinkYou are a bit overreating with BNW beeing the best prog metal album ever... Its quite progessive (My 1st Maiden album)... DoD is far more porg with a symphonic touch!... But the most progressive album by Maiden is certainly The 7th Son... Its sound like a tipical, 100% progressive metal concept album (It even reminds me a bit of stuff by PoS!!!!)

 I believe they are prog related the mighty maiden more so over 'tallica. You see Steve Harris (the bassist in case there's anyone who don't know) was a prog freak and loved Jethro Tull so when he started Maiden back in 75 or summin that naturally came out with in the music thus shifting the whole idea of prog-rock whilst you must remeber at the time you also had punk which supposidly "killed prog" (which it didn't prog just wasn't mainstram anymore so went underground.. but thats for another day) so thus it went underground and found new forms, one of these was Maiden and from this Maiden changed how rock and metal should be written, in that music is like a big, blank canvas waiting for a masterpiece to be formed on it. This in turn influencing many others such as 'tallica who cmae to view a similar view espcially during Masters of puppets, with the album itself having many proggy influences in there. So there they are both important and both are prog related, you could even say that Maiden created Prog-metal.

And take Opeth's ghost reveries: A metal album wich has longer songs wich changes from hard metal riffs and soft accoustic stuff in 90% of the album...if you compare this album to brave new world i think you will find that the maiden songs are just as complicated and in some cases even more complex than the Opeth songs. Infact Opeth's epics on that cd is pretty boring as all has Heavy intros with a accoustic/soft part in the middle just to return to the heavy parts again and then end...and the rest 3 songs is simple ballady songs

Anyways i would have no problem naming atleast 50 maiden songs wich could fit the term progressive.

Infact if you take forexample the excellent In absentia release from porcupine tree...is it prog..NO...is it prog related...yes but it is still listen under prog...so there are really alot of artists on this page wich can be concidered prog although their arrangements are alot simpler than maidens...and the ones naming red hot chili peppers and megadeth ...they are out of their minds...anyway BRAVE NEW WORLD is the best and perhaps most progressive maiden album and i dont think any of the other artist mentioned can top that in the terms of progressiveness

 Porcupine Tree - In Absentia is 100% prog.

i have to admit the first time i heard porcupine tree i thought they where some kind of intelligent pop band with songs like sound of muzak,even less and shes moving on, trains, collapse the light into earth,hearattack in a layby and blackest eyes is not the least proggy...and certainly porcupine tree concentrate on making these simple songs

I think real prog died in the end of the 70's with last valuable albums from prog-bands of early 70's,
(Songs from the wood, Breathless,Quite zone-Pleasure dome); I generally don't trust in 80's prog (with some exception) and of corse metal is metal for my idea of prog.

This is a joke, right? Please tell met it is

NO Metallica and Iron Maiden never were and probably never be prog realted! Stop this nonsence! Iron Maiden is the founder of NWOBHM, thats New Wave Of British HEAVY METAL! Heavy metal not prog metal, not prog realted heavy metal, not even wery-close-but-not-exactly-prog-related-heavy-metal

Pure heavy metal- you know heavy metal- hard rock but faster and heavier! Nothing to do with prog.

The same with Metallica.

Thoughts?

I have to admit, I misread this before I replied. I thought it read that Maiden and Metallica have been included!

Well, it contains long and complex songs nevertheless.
As well as Piece of Mind and Somewhere in time, other two that I would insert in the list of prog would-be.

on Ride the Lightning they started to experiment with interludes, sophisticated solos and strange harmonies. Master of Puppets is THE Proto-ProgMetal album.

I agree

Are you sure about that?  I don't see any connection between the Maiden album and Card's series, other than the concept of the seventh son of a seventh son, which is an idea that has been around a lot longer than either two.
