Most beutiful moment in prog metal.

[Carloz]

"I am the Playwrite and you are my Crown, make me cry for your love,
like you've done many times, so I know.
I can't write these storylines without you, lady pain, make me strong,
can't we be together without them forever..." - Sonata Arctica - The Misery

"Triumphant, champion of Ithaca I will right all the wrongs, let the god sing my song..." - You know what's that from

"Bound by this passion I'm begging you please let me go! ... " - You know this one either.

In "The Shadow Hunter" on Angra's Temple of Shadows - the guitar part played by Kiko and Rafael from 5:02 to 6:20 ...

In People Passing By from Pain of Salvation's Entropia - from "Once he was strong, and filled with visions... " right till the end of the song...

Angra - Eyes of Chris - the guitar solo... (2:00 to 2:45)

Yngwie's Prelude To April - nothing to add

Liquid Tension Experiment - Freedom of Speech from the beginning to 4:45

Dream Theater - Octavarium - 19:45 to the end...

Dream Theater - Sacrificed Sons - 6:20 to the end...

"Here I am, at the crossing of the life I stand ..." - Right until the end...

Germans would put here "U.V.A", cos' there are lots of stunning stuff... And I really mean lots...

 

[Carloz]

I forgot...

Tony MacAlpine's "Dreamstate" from Maximum Security ...

 

[Imaginarium]

i can't believe nobody has mentioned Angra - Holy Land...that entire album is beauty personified

besides that, PoS - Dryad of the Woods is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. PoS are just amazing in every single way. They make me want to cry and dance and sing and laugh and weep and run all at once. Sorry for being soppy...but...yeah...music does that to me and i'm sure you of all people understand this fully

 

[KeatTikhones]

Psychotic Waltz - Into the Everflow beginning and counterpoint of vocal melody and two guitar solos- first is melody of the long notes and second is tapping
Symphony X - Whispers. Very "fairy" ballad.
Pestilence - Album "Spheres" - the most avangard places.

 

[ElPredicador]

I'd have to say the chorus to Spock's Beard's June, the solo to Pink Floyd's Mother, and Matraz - Mañana (ok I may be biased here because these guys are chilean, but I really think I am not).

 

[ProgMetalFan]

About 1:10 into Evergrey's "Your Darkest Hour"... when the song segues from heavy guitar to a beautiful piano melody and Tom sings, "I would hold you while you're sleeping. I would guide you when you're drifting. I'll be the light you seek in your darkest hour."

!! Excellent choice

If anyone has the special edition of Inner Circle with the bonus live tracks, the acoustic version of Recreation Day is brilliant. The final chorus into piano outro is particularly beautiful.

 

[MorphineChild205]

I don't know if this is considered prog

but dammit that indian dance part right after that sweet solo in Creek Mary's Blood by Nightwish is just fucking beautiful.

I would say that their longer songs in particular are pretty progressive. While we're on the subject of Nightwish, I think Ghost Love Score is one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard.

 

[Xtopher]

"in a winter's dreeeam ill be there for you... in a winter´s dreeem I'll be there...I'LL BE THERE..."

 

[Xtopher]

"I wish to stay...to be here with you, you were my strength how can i go oooooon??"

-Accolade II

 

[soundgarden]

Yea, the end of Octavarium (21:26 to the end) is oozing with greatness. Definetly one of DT's best moment.

 

[MetalMan57]

O I thought u meant visually. I was gonna say when Dream Theater was playin Gigantour in pittsburgh...and u see MP playin stick catch with someone off stage...and MP catches the return toss...and everyone checks to see who it is...OMG its teh RUSSELL!!! THE FEUD IS OVER!!! WOOT!!!1:hotjump:

 

[NegativeVolume]

Whoa, been forever since I even remembered I belong to this forum, so I might as well reply or something

By Sym X: The end of Awakenings and the intro chorale to DWoT

By Dream Theater: Learning to Live, Blind Faith's instrumental orgasm and Voices (probly my fave tune by DT)

*digs for the name of tune* When The Wind Blows by Vanden Plas...the cuts right before the guitar solo into the guitar solo, holy shit it's awesome

Heroes of the Sand by Angra @ 2:00 that sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it...and I've heard it a lot

And I dunno if this accounts for prog metal, but Steve Vai's tune Voodoo Acid is just oozing juicy bits of music, especially that whole "climax" part...Aural Orgasm is what me and my friends commonly refer to it :Spin:

 

[1by4by9]

Ayreon - Isis & Osiris

In the mid part of the song there's this melody with rhytm 6/4 & 5/4 alternated. After that cool arpeggios with nice delay. Awesome part.

 

[greenaxer]

The main melody of Dream Theater's "Wait for Sleep"

The whole intro to "Accolade I" and the mid section after the second chorus, where Russell sings alongside the organ. And of course, the choral intro to "Divine Wings of Tragedy." Just gives me chills everytime I hear it.
