Metal is metal to me....i just listen to all kinds without really worrying about what catagory they fit into. My fav band changes a lot, at the moment its megadeth.....i guess i'm still in denial about them splitting up :( Such a shame...but more modern metal bands agree with my ears.....especially Tool.....they got talent, even if the songs go on a bit on 'Laterallus' its a really good album.

Fretslug are you talking about progressive rock or metal there? I've never heard the term progressive metal before.....
