That is why I looked into this thread...was wondering if anyone else has been watching this? I have yet to see all the episodes but have tuned in when I can catch them. LOVED the prog metal episode too. Am proud of Yes, King Crimson, Gensis, who seemed to influence the newer bands, as I am a fan of the older prog bands (I know, I'm showing my age..which isn't 47 anymore! )
I quite enjoyed the series, it wasn't perfect but it was a good overview of the basics
The Prog Metal episode was one of the best episodes, listening to those bands there is no doubt that Yes and King Crimson in particular were major influences on Prog Metal, Genisis were as well I just have never really listened to them so I couldn't say for sure. I'll have to check them out sometime
Yup, I've watched all the Metal Evolution episodes. They air on MuchMoreMusic up here in Canada and the final prog metal (my favourite metal hehe) was aired a few weeks ago here.
I assume that all you folks have watched his film, Metal: A Headbanger's Journey?
Prog Metal rules!!!! Do you like the bands Gordian Knot or Lydian Sea? Gordian Knot is a instrumental Prog Metal band, but are awesome!!! Lydian Sea are a US Prog Metal band that are ok, I quite enjoy them but they aren't for everyone...I've just been listening to those 2 bands a lot lately on spotify
My all time favorite Prog Metal band has to be Fates Warning, "The Spectre Within" and "Awaken the Guardian" are two of my all time favorite albums.
Yes, "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" is excellent!!! As are Dunn's other films "Global Metal" , "Iron Maiden: Flight 666" and "Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage". Out of those even though I love Maiden my favorite has to be "Global Metal" where he focuses on bands from the Middle East, Asia and South America.
For people who enjoy Heavy Metal documentaries another good one is "Heavy Metal in Baghdad"
