Because, for you, PoS 'The Perfect Element Pt 1' is the best Prog Metal album between the PM album presents in PA?

In 2000 (if I think correctly the year... Sorry) I attended a concert of Symphony X with Dyslesia as opening act. Two great Prog Metal band. I am sincere: I am pleased to Dyslesia more... Dyslesia are more Power Prog Metal in the vein of Elegy... One other band that I have not yet understood because this is not in PA (as the same Dyslesia)!

Yeah - understand that only too well. Some of my friends would probably say Iron Who? to this day.
They were the best of the NWOBHM bands by a mile - I was lucky enough to see them at the legendary Ruskin pub on Wanstead Flats, East London, in the very early days.
btw due solely to the wonders of PA I've discovered I'm eight years older than you, three years older than Raff and feeling...old  |

When you're as old as me you realise Maiden ARE classic metal (how prog is an open question): the natural successors to Sabbath, in a way.
I'm deciding what sort of fit to have 'cos I'm flying to Spain on Monday and Bruce Dickinson might just be the pilot. Hope I don't end up like "Eddie"... |
i was listening to Maiden since their first album and when I would gush to my friends about it they would go......"Iron who??"
That's how old I am.

"What a drag it is getting old"... BUT PROG METAL IS THE ANTIDOTE

Saxon Heavy Prog ? I know them fairly well (even saw them live some time in the Eighties), but never thought of them as even remotely progressive... Great heavy metal band, though! |
Well... Only in their first album Saxon are Prog. For the rest... Yes... Saxon are (with Motorhead) the best Heavy Metal band for bikers (and one of the inventors of Power Metal)!

Sure looks like it to me!!!
Good band - my 17-y-o metalhead son loves em too. My only trouble is I can't forgive them for Livin' After Midnight - probably needed the $.

I saw Priest live in 1988, when they were touring following the release of Ram It Down. To say they smoked would be an understatement... They played all their classics (including the marvellous "Victim of Changes" and "Beyond the Realms of Death"), and even brought the Harley on stage for "Hell Bent for Leather"!

Sorry, they're actually pretty great. My first metal album, a collection had "Some heads are gonna roll" what a friggin voice.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Well... Judas Priest... From 'Rocka Rolla' to 'Unleash In The East'... Well they are really Prog.
But also this is a great Prog album:
Saxon: 'Saxon' (their debut album)
...But... They are between the father albums of Prog Metal... Not Prog Metal albums... Yes... Heavy Prog albums!!!
And all are great Heavy Prog albums!!!

We did have Unleashed in the East in our collection, but my dear hubby somehow managed to lose it... No big deal, though, since it's very easy to find even in mainstream music stores. |
Yikes!,
I hope the punishment levied was appropriate Raff!
