Prog Metal

[mariocc]

'prog metal' could sound ok to me only considering there are in progressive music some patterns..especially guitar riffs..drums patterns ...taken from metal.
and I say vice versa
metal bands have been incorporating more melodic ideas what in my opinion is the main or greatest weakness in metal music..besides another things I do not like actually.
anyway
I think Maiden or Queensryche belong another place,, if you add them..door is open for many bands with credits to be here too. Line is thin and subjective maybe.
