 Topic: Neo prog converted to Prog Metal
Posted: June 01 2006 at 16:28 |
Which neo prog song would be great if it was played like Prog Metal?
I think a song like Quartz from Marillion would do great with some heavier guitars and a raw voice.
The Wake from IQ is an easy one to convert to Prog Metal. It already reminds me a bit of Rage against the Machine.
Someone else a creative idea?

Iq - Sacred sound should sound good with heavy distortion

Then what about a 1.5 minute Napalm Death version of Bungle in the Jungle of Jethro Tull?

Both styles are not that different. Arena and Riverside are two bands that I consider to be a mix between neo-prog and prog-metal.
Almost any neo-prog album would sound good with more metalish guitars and vocals.

I have no idea.  Arena is basically prog-metal anyway.

"The Wake" is already what I feel Prog Metal should sound like; Same with subterranea. The rest of what is known as Prog metal is too much into shape, and too little into content. Anekdoten, another fine example of true prog metal. The rest is Glam rock in disguise...

If that were true, that would mean neo prog is as good as progressive metal.

Well that was a risky thing to say around a bunch of IQ, Marillion, and Arena fanboys

The only downfall this site has is the fact that everytime someone
brings up something "negative" the whole thread gets sunk and we all go
off on some weird tangent about Dream Theater or something. Any thread
with keywords "neo prog" or "prog metal" or "dream theater" are a
recipe for disaster.

^This thread went off topic because The Lost Chord spouted his "modern prog is rubish" rehtoric again.
Anyway, I'm sure you could redo any song, not just neo, to be a prog metal song, but why bother. Each band wrote and recorded songs to how they wanted them to sound, I'm no fan of covers because it takes away some of the original intent of the song, plus why cant you just write your own songs.

Eh, you do have a valid point; however, I don't know what compells someone to come into a forum that they obviously have no interest in. I happen to be a pretty good cook, and if it's a recipe for disaster then the recipe is as follows:
1 tsp. Lighten up
1 tblspn of your opinion is better used for something else
1 1/2 tblspn of participate according to interest
1 c. of Who asked ya?
Combine and marinade for at least until the sun burns itself out. Enjoy!

I did like the suggestion of "Quartz" as prog metal. Pretty driving tune anyway.
"Subterranea" by IQ would be darn good, too.
