[madilf11]

[fuckbees666]

These aren't progressive, they sound like shit, all of them, this is what you call DEgressive bands, just pure trash noone will ever listen to

[GlaedrsRevenge]

@fuckbees666 If your refering Dream Theater in anyway you sir are sorely mistaken.

[97rafaraujo]

@fuckbees666 do you even know that progresive metal is? In comparassion with Trash metal, death metal and metal, progresive metal is much better thatn all those types of music. And i know that because im a really big fan of Metallica and i still think that Dream Theater and Tool beat them up like God of war pawning all the Gods.

[ihaztehSNIPAH]

I thought the first song was Chocolate Rain

[Fenargol]

[Fx3N]

@xhilence Well this video was uploaded in 2008, Periphery weren't that known back then

[DTkeysplayer16]

@xhilence @Fx3N True, though Periphery is awesome. My favorite song right now is All New Materials

[Eraser1994]

@DTkeysplayer16 you forgot tool truely the best progessive metal band ever!! but sure its your video and it represents your preferences but seriously give tool a try ;)

[97rafaraujo]

@DTkeysplayer16 why isnt Tool there? i actually think Tool are much better than all those bands on the video. Exept Dream theater, Dream theater is just slightly lower than Tool, and i know that because i actaully like them A LOT.

[holokhang991]

@xhilence i knw man. periphery is like the hardest shit!

[BlackAtomReign]

No 30 Seconds To Mars = fail.

[muskegorunner]

@8gerrard8 since when is 30 sec to mars metal? or progressive? im just wondering why BTBAM isnt on here

[8gerrard8]

@muskegorunner Are you retarded or deaf, or both? Listen to their first album. It is the very definition of Progressive Metal.

[inurfacez10]

@8gerrard8 hahahahahahahaha 30 sencond to mars hahahahahahahahahaha good one man!!!!!

[8gerrard8]

@inurfacez10 Listen to their discoghraphy first you ignorant prick.

[TomAce200]

Coheed & Cambria = Progressive Pop + Oxycontin

[gaara1546]

Coheed and Cambria -.-

[CartmenJones]

Mouth of Madness by Circus Maximus is also really good. Check that song out too along with Dream Theaters Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (the full song) if you haven't heard of either and are interested in Progressive Metal. Communic is also very good progressive wise but is more metal orientated.

[TheAstragoth]

the first song is awesome !!!

[sanymalaysia]

DT picture must be kevin moore !!!

[sanymalaysia]

perfect !!! andromeda best ever 

[healord51]

BETWEEEEN THE BURIED AND MEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH

Andromeda and DT on here. Now where BTBAM? NO lists have them >:(

[xXKiLlcOrEXx]

@XPwnerX112 BTBAM IS PROGRESSIVE METALCORE/DEATHCORE LOL

[XPwnerX112]

@xXKiLlcOrEXx Still Progressive, enough of these stupid sub-genres. Progressive Metal, is Prog. Metal, no matter what other elements it has in it.

[simonklemesruddaly]

[JacksonX94]

Ah my fav song by Dream Theater next to The Dark Eternal Night, Sweet \m/

[xakkal1]

Symphony X > All

[Classic1942]

[moterhead7]

I love how you put dream theater and Jordan Rudess lol XD

[metal0n0v]

[kazath]

You made me discover Symphony X. :O OMFG THANK YOU.

[UnholyMessiah555]

DT are of course the gods, and Jordan the godliest among them, but Symphony X, Outworld and Circus Maximus are also favourite bands of mine. Awesome list.

[AndyAngelZ]

Listen to

Animals As Leaders - Tempting Time

watch?v=vGPa-eZFINg

[zolltf]

Obviously DT was here, they are the best! 

[BigCrusher96]

Uhm.. AINA?

[fritoman000]

ANDROMEDA YEAH!!

[pigsfood27]

uhhhh..... TOOL??

[JamilAlexandre1]

@pigsfood27 no shit eh?

[outubedimerda]

good 

[designingoblivion]

the beginning of the first song was cool but then it sounded like a sound track to a captain falcon racing game =p

[sgrdethhead]

This may be worth checking out for some of you. A one man progressive, thrash, metal project, Oathsworn Arbiter.

[FlipCoder]

ugh don't put midi at the beginning WHAT ARE YOU DOING LOL

[jomiski]

Great one. Dream Theatre is amazing, and you've picked up a great song by them "Learning to Live". Andromeda is great also.

[WishmasterTheDark]

Intro sounds like Nightwish - The Riddler

[MetalxXxMayhem]

Never heard of OutWorld before. Its pretty sick shit.

[nejczupan]

its not bad,but they sound very much like simphony x

[asteck123cas]

the intro is great, but where I can find the song?

[Mullenfreek]

I don't wanna sound like everybody else saying Dream Theater is the best, but GOD HOW CAN YOU NOT THEY ARE MADE OF PURE GENIUS.

[kolopaper123]

Where is Opeth ??????? 

[cedric974974]

@kolopaper123 Opeth is not a progressive metal band, that's black metal, but I agree, it's a fuckin good one ;)

[riigei]

Progmetal = the sounds of the gods....

[riigei]

Progmetal = the sounds of the gods....

[joeyjordisondu13]

Circus maximus :O, Shadow Gallery, Dream theater a,d symphony X are the best prog metal bands for me !

Threshold too is very cool !

[kornrocks123456789]

Dream Theater is the BEST!!!!

[Tojehusiza]

PAGAN'S MIND FTW!

[Thrio]

No Opeth?!

[AcshIttable]

that intro sounded like Chocolate Rain

[Gjuternor]

@AcshIttable lawl ^^ true :D

[marcus13231]

@AcshIttable I would say it would sound more like the exorcist.

[MrElias090295]

@marcus13231 The exorcist theme, as you probably knew, is in fact Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield :D

[Mike1GH]

@AcshIttable The intro sounds like Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells intro

[blank21121]

@AcshIttable *i move away from the mic to breath in*

[tummysticks80]

@AcshIttable i immediately thought of the exorcist theme played in a different mode. but now that you mention it...i feel the pain

[37andrus]

@AcshIttable no, Chocolate rain sounds like the intro ;)

[theBROSKISrBACK]

progressive deathcore! now thats the shit lol

[Annulable]

Lol at the midi intro.

[rawkingdude]

bleh, i don't like this subgenre :P I like the heavier stuff like Deathmetal and deathcore

[BojikAndonov]

I`d say Dream Theater + Amorphis > all the rest.. but hey, thats my oppinion

[soloton]

very nice compilation, thx ;)

[Chazorvigg]

Like prog. metal? Please take your time to listen to this awesome band, help them gain fame:

watch?v=KhXkirG737Q

[a7xsuks657438374]

HEY SOME ON HERE ARE POWER METAL

[RoboCoffman]

@a7xsuks657438374 ALot of Power metal bands are also progressive, which is why theres the term "Power-Prog"

[a7xsuks657438374]

@RoboCoffman cool great fact an plus power metal is always epic anyways

[shredmetalmike]

@RoboCoffman Like my band for instance! We like to stay at a happy medium with Prog & power writings but generally we just follow our ear

[Moonawrathic]

meh, sounds really cheesy if u ask me, cant beat music from the 1700s.

[VirtualShapeShifter]

Prog metal came from a galaxy beyond this, no doubt.

[Theinoch]

@VirtualShapeShifter With his older brother progressive rock

[SacredAge]

@VirtualShapeShifter Agreed. I Wonder What Interdimensional Entities Pluck Our String To Make Such Amazing Music? I Urge You To Check My Guitar Improv. I Was Hammed But It Still Came Out Aight. Ignore The Hip Hop. It's My Other Passion lol

[VirtualShapeShifter]

@SacredAge Thank you, my friend :D I'll check it out ^^

[Thycid]

@VirtualShapeShifter Actually I think it came from here, btu all the stupid mindless mainstream garbage being passed off as music today came from somewhere else. Hell most likely

[JUSTINTRIPjl]

@VirtualShapeShifter known as finland

[CrushinRuSSian27]

OUTWORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[JeremiahLozada]

What was the intro song?

[mma0tomars]

@JeremiahLozada Well since the user name of the guy who posted this has "keys player" in it, and the intro was definitely a keyboard riff, I suspect it was an original piece by the uploader of this video. Maybe not though. It kind of sounded like chocolate rain in the beginning :P

[shahbandee]

what u said rubbish music ... u better listen to elvis presly & don't evolve forever ..hahaha

[saxonhamish]

Rubbish music

[MrDanteaguilar]

@saxonhamish how so?

[RPGMusicStudios]

@saxonhamish This is the farthest thing in the world from rubbish music. If you want rubbish music, look up Ke$ha.

[CountdeCavalcanti]

@RPGMusicStudios Hey thanx 4 the great tip. Ke$ha is great! Do u know where I can buy her records?

[UrizenNihilation]

@nivenheim Only if you are present when I get out so I can shit all over you some more.

[UrizenNihilation]

@nivenheim Wait, why even reply to that? That was a long time ago. Anyway, yeah no shit you fuckin retard, that is the point.

[GuitarPlayer7205]

where´s nevermore???

[andyborowicz]

Hollow!

watch?v=mR3od_6WiNM

[sigmar182]

being technical and fast doesn't make the music progressive...

[bedsheets09]

hahahaha pagans mind CLEARLY has a stargate in the background 

[bradleythebear17]

[steele1812]

Circus Maximus is awesome !

[codyahernek]

O-friggin-peth

[reapercamelvvv36tee]

who is the opening keyboard solo by: (full name plzz)

[drauncj]

You have excellent taste in metal and I think we should be friends.

[bce5150]

first song is melodeath chocolate rain

[themetalislaw]

a question ¿where is SEVENTH WONDER?

[GrimaceDio]

Pyramaze (awesome keys solos by the way), Adagio, Opeth, Conception, and Anubis Gate all deserve a spot on this list

[mummoforce]

I feel sad for Opeth not being on most top progressive metal band/song lists

[ZachValkyrie]

IMHO Take The Time is DT's weakest song.

[UrizenNihilation]

@ZachValkyrie bad opinion, yes people can have bad opinions.

[bazzkoff]

@UrizenNihilation yeah of course, but thats your opinion.

[UrizenNihilation]

@bazzkoff derp

[meteoro2012]

gay metal

[monocs]

@meteoro2012 Puede ser, pero es el metal de los músicos de verdad... no es el metal que es sólo MODA

[bestunter]

@meteoro2012 you are gay

[Rhamsody]

hmm, guess u're gonna need a new DT pic now that Portnoy is outta the picture. sux.

[DevotionToChaos]

Great vid. Personally Dream Theater and ofc Jordan Rudess are my fav.

[DevotionToChaos]

Good choice of prog bands. Personally my favourite band is Dream Theater though.
