i can't believe you said that. they're one of the best progressive metal bands of all time. they ruled the 80's, along side with Fates Warning. |

give him a break
I don't really think their what you would call "progressive". The only thing that I found progressive about them was their bass player. I don't like them all that much but I did see them with Judas Priest and it was pretty cool. But give the guy a break man.

They are progressive you idiot. They were the biggest (well only big) prog metal band in the 80s.
Operation:Mindcrime is a masterpiece.

Decent stuff, although I have never been interested enough to buy an album. The first Nevermore album is described as "Queensryche with more balls".

not really my type. i wouldnt come here to say that, but would someone please tell me what the fuck is meant by "progressive"!!! i know what it means to progress, so being progressive would mean to make progress, but somehow i dont think this is what it means when saying "progressive metal" at all. if it is, i find that, um, rediculous.

They sound like shit on half of their albums, but they are the SHIT live. Loved them. Saw them on August 12th, 2000 with Iron Maiden (first concert, thats why I remember that).

It is an offspring of the term "progressive rock". I did a little bit of research on it a while ago, but it seems to me that there hardly is a definite explanation.
The way I see it, progressive bands are those that are those that are too varied to be placed in a single genre, too lustfully experimentive to be mainstream and generally disdainful of doing it by the book.

Prog metal
Theres not really a definet definition for any genre. And i don't really agree with that definition considering that many prog metal bands, at least the more popular ones, go right by the book and take a huge amount of music theory and imply it to their music. Also you can't really go away from any kind of genre if theres a bunch of people doing the same thing. Theoreticly, if your definition was right, then you would only have one, maybe two prog metal bands. Which isn't the case. But i do appreciate your definition because I can most definetly not come up with any kind of definition for prog metal.

Those haircuts! HAHAHA!
I want to hear them. Nevermore's comparison to them makes them that bit more appealing.

Wasn't much of a fan but their live shows were supposed to be the mutts nuts, Geoff Tate used to do a duet with a woman but she was just a recording on a giant video screen so timing was of the escence.
They also supported Metallica(back when Metallica had a sense of humour) and on the last show of the tour Metallica hired loads of macho male strippers to run on stage during their last song and and ..er...strip! I'm not sure why, I think it was cause they were all into pumping iron or it could just have been a ruse by Kirk Hammett!!!

They don't sound too much like Nevermore. Nevermore just has a few Queensryche-esque moments, heightened by the obvious influence of certain parts of Geoff Tate's register on certain parts of Warrel Dane's. In my personal opinion Nevermore stomps all over Queensryche, but that's just me. And possibly somebody else as well. That's not to say they don't have their good moments.
The weird thing about most definitions of prog metal is that they take one of the most superficial things about prog rock - the technical ability of the players (i.e. 'The only thing that I found progressive about them was their bass player') - and make it all-important. Queensryche are considered progressive metal for two reasons: 1) Heavy borrowing from early Fates Warning. Fates Warning are definitely prog metal. 2) Sprawling, Romantic, illustrative-narrative musical structures. Anybody who makes a concept album in which the music is meant to illustrate action is pretty much by-the-books prog, and Operation:Mindcrime is nothing if not that. I can't believe this was actually contested.

I've heard Sikth being compared to them before. I suppose, Sikth actually have some rather story-like moments in their tunes, apart from the fact that this new jazz-hardcore is supposed to be a sub-spring of prog' metal.
