Alternative 4 isnt a metal album and I think I was aware of that. It was just basic miserable songs with sometimes heavy guitars.

fucking metalheads, symphony x? dream theater? this thread is about PROG, not PROG METAL MY ARSE FFS.

prog metal is like the worst case scenario for me : i really dont like prog music, and i really dont like post black album shite metal, so the combination of two really makes me sick.

u like *regressive* metal insteada progressive then?

 

[DE]

I like Yes, Camel, King Crimson etc.


That's proper prog

dream theater isn't metal, frog breath.

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

it is. the singer has gay clothes and the guitar lad plays dead fast and hes got that heavy sound and your man has a double kick drum pedal and they headbang and they got crap lyrics and they cover metallica and iron maiden and theyre album covers look crap and they play metal festivals.

so they are metal.

i never understood the term "prog" as it says something is ahead of its time. but after all they become history. then what? formerly-prog?
