But then I'd think Megadeth are more proggy than either...

I think Rust in Peace is a true prog metal album and a classic in the genre.Countdown to Extinction and maybe Youthanasia were proggy.That's about it.

Dave Mustaine(a better guitarist than Kirk Hammett IMO)had some good second guitarists in the band too,namely Chris Poland and Marty Friedman.

The new Megadeth album The System Has Failed is extremely good,with Chris Poland back with the band on guitar and Vinnie Coliatu on drums.

Oh please Iron Maiden deserves atleat to get under the proto prog genre concidering that the bands like Kamleot and Nightwish are concidered progressive metal. I do not wish for maiden under prog metal genre listing...anyways i agree that fans of prog metal bands like Dream theater,nightwish and such might want to find iron maiden interesting...yes they are heavy metal but far more progressive and intricate that "typical" metal bands like judas priest,def leppard, accept, motley crue and other popular metal bands of the 80's

Besides there are many people that does not find bands like The mars volta, Dream Theater or tool to be progressive at all

Talk about GREY AREA!!!!

I loved Iron Maiden from their beginning...up to about '88

I also liked Metallica for the same period...

To me that says something! I was searching for prog in heavy metal, because there was SO LITTLE prog around in the 80s. These bands were brought up on prog, they both had/have prog tendencies, but are they actually prog? ....probably not..

But one is FOR SURE: Alot of people that come to this site relate to these bands in those periods of their existence. We could definitley say that DREAMTHEATER were influenced by both of them, since they have covered ENTIRE albums by them live! So, in a sense Metallica and Iron Maiden really are the 'fathers' of Prog metal...they are definitley the 'link' in my mind...

Metallica - I'd only consider "...And Justice For All" a prog-related album,
maybe "Master Of Puppets" if I'm being generous.

Iron Maiden - Definitely. Seventh Son, Powerslave ("Ancient Mariner"
especially), Somewhere In Time and many of their other early classics...

And, even though nobody asked, definitely Sabbath if Deep Purple and
Uriah Heep are around!

Let's just move to the new progarchives here




A question for everyone:


how long before the likes of Genesis,Yes,VDGG etc start to disappear from public awareness completely?


We need to ensure that they are kept alive by attracting new people who would never normally come into contact with these bands.


So how can we do this?


Surely anyone who enjoys the more sophisticated songs by Iron Maiden and Metallica or Deep Purple might like Dream Theater or Symphony X et al.By creating genres such as "Prog-Related" and "Proto-Prog" we are simply creating a stepping stone whereby fans of these bands can discover similar bands but who play Prog Rock.


We are not selling out we are trying to attract those who might be more open to Prog Rock.Therefore ensuring its survival.


 





hey i like all the bands mentioned here,I've seen maiden and metallica,prog-related is fine,genesis and yes will never disappear whilst we are alive educating our offspring i don't know how many hardcore metallica fans will be embracing VDGG or GG though

I was a metallica fan 3 years ago. Then I listened to Dream Theater, and I like it a lot, then I listened to Symphony X, Ayreon, Pain of Salvation, Rush, Genesis, King Crimson, ELP, Yes, Camel, Porcupine Tree, etc...

Last month I listened to VDGG's Pawn Hearts and I love it !!! Here you have an excelent example of heavy metal fan convert into prog. (I think I'm not the only one, there's a lot of heavy metal people that loves prog but they doesn't know it yet!!!)

PLEASE KEEP THIS SITE FOR PROG. BANDS.  Send your Metallica and Dream Theater and Beastie Boys reviews to some other site....

Thanks.

It seems sometimes, that the discussion is focused on "Are Metallica and Maiden prog?". NO. All we know they aren't prog, but have they elements enough to be considered Prog-Related? Absolutely YES. In their early period, of course. Metallica after 1989 doesn't deserve anything, Maiden have good proggy songs after 1988 (Sign of the Cross), but their golden period was 1980-1988.

Have you read the topic??? Nobody is saying they are prog, only prog-related, or proto-prog-metal.

Alright, I take back about Tool being just OK. I used to listen to them much more, like Dream Theater, and when you listen to just a pretty good band a lot, they get tiring and you think they aren't so good anymore. Yet every time I listen to a Tool or Dream Theater song, I remember why I liked them. However, are they prog? I still say no, simply prog-influenced and just good music. I think some songs are proggy, but we shouldn't put a band here for a couple songs. Most songs are just straight-foward rockin' songs.

- I must be one of the few people who sees nothing wrong with this 'prog related' section, as this shouldn't be a closed shop where only bands with complex time signatures and keyboards get in the archives! I thought the whole ideal of progressive rock was music that hadn't been done or heard before? Sure, if Coldplay made it in here, that would be bad (nowt new about them...) but so far, the additions have been logical and by and large, I feel.

This is totally silly! I think this great site has started to add so many bands that have nothing to do with prog. Iam going to do thing, if they get added Iam never going to visit this site again. Ill find another one which gives me what I actually wanted when I first time entered this site.

I do doubt will they be added anyway. But come on people, go to some metal sites if you want to talk things of that genre!!

Fair point H,but I too come from a heavy rock background (although admittedly I was a big fan of Yes,Genesis etc in the 70's) and I've got into so much new stuff (well new to me) like PFM,Banco,Porcupine Tree,Echolynetc that I wouldnt have touched with a 10 foot barge-pole 5 years ago!
