^ sorry, but you're missing the point. Nobody ever said they were a progressive rock band ... or progressive metal for that matter. Neither were Iron Maiden, but they are listed here. That's the big inconsistency that troubles me so much.

I'll say that Metallica is a progressive metal band, more progressive than Iron Maiden, in fact.  (For the record, I like Iron Maiden, but their music is fairly straightforward--I think Harris has meted out every possibility for an E-D-C riff).

No way, wake up collaborators, Metallica on PA, come on, they are trash al the way in the early  years, now something that only they know what are palying. Definetly not prog, try to concentrate more on the bands that are real prog, theare are at least 100 prog bands that must be here on PA, not bands like Metallica or Judas Priest.Wink

^ I never trust people who can't spell "thrash".Wink

BTW: I know there are more than 100 bands that could be added instead ... they're listed on the chart of the prog metal team. If you want to help speed things up, feel free to provide biographies and discographies, so that these bands can be added. Smile

I'm not saying we should allow more "straight" metal bands if Metallica get in, but the band has a lot of credibility to be here.


This is the most extreme version of 'if X than Y' I've ever read on PA....LOL

^ it's not that extreme. Besides, a few years ago Miles Davis would have never been added, and now those who pushed his addition make it seem like the most normal thing.

I did.. because it was... LOL

can't even say I was a fanboy... I don't have any of his J-R albums if the truth be told.  I'm not a fan of that style of jazz.. .or prog.  As I've posted before.. my tastes are more toward traditional jazz.  I pushed it ... out of common sense... and listening to those who know the music.

Then why don't you listen to people who know prog metal and Metallica? Certif1ed and me disagree on many things, but not this one ... and there are various other members here who support our opinion.

I got into very hot water privately with the admins regarding Metallica... and defending you if the the truth be told.  I do.. and always have listened and respected your opinion.

Bad comparison Miles and Metallica.... MD has a very different way to see the music as an example in his long carreer as a musician he break many boundaries not only for jazz, it's for the entire spectrum of music... just hear his albums of the 70's nothing to do with the 50's and even, nothing to do with the late 80's output... Metallica on the other hand is a great band, with a heavy sound but... his style... it has a constant... don't know how to explain... look, you hear, RDL and you hear ANFA, more or less the same style the same aproach.... good aproach BTW, but nothing really grandious as MD done... i think that Metallica lose worse in a comparison to one of the key figures of music in general...

and i do not stop.. Metallica is not a prog band never.
