The Most Used Progressive Metal Stereotypes (FEAT. Andrew Baena)

It really shows that you care about your patrons. You literally memorized THAT many names. If I were a religious man, I’d say bless your soul.

Not sure what’s more impressive, the guitar skills or remembering all of those patreons off the top of your head goddamn 😂

To concept albums on shuffle” - Kmac

5/31 subdivided into 22nd notes is my favorite time signature xD also great video

Author — Aleks Monoxide

After my last ex broke up with me I realized my life is a prog metal song




95% are solo

Author — Tobi Bender

Solo over the clean part
"There are never too many notes" riffs
Ominous piano over heavy riff
String intro
Out of genre section
Transcribed classical pieces

2:01 Nailed Dream Theater's style!!🔥🔥🔥
Ps: That riff sounded a bit like Bridges in The Sky

Friend: What's the time signature of this song
Me: *pulls out graphing calculator*

Author — Turniue

been listening to prog so long that all this stuff is just a given, my bandmates always get on me for writing "weird" stuff lol, but to me its just music

I forgot to put my strap real high for this one, please forgive me

Author — Andrew Baena

Andrew's Tool needs more hammer-ons and pull-offs

Author — Jéver Silveira

My favorite is the one where there are like zero dynamic changes in three songs in a row on an album then the next song has an acoustic guitar so it’s “quieter, ” but I love it anyway.

Master Of Time= John Petrucci
Spider Hands= John Petrucci
Above The Flying & You= Every Dream Theater Song
Synth Theater= Dream Theater
The Feels Are Reals= Almost All Dream Theater Song Before The Solo
"Yeah Just Throw A Solo On Top"= John Petrucci
The Synth Solo= Breaking All Illusions And More Songs
Every Stereotype Of Prog Metal Is Dream Theater

"That clean part" was a relief when there was no James LaCheese vibrating away like there's no tomorrow.

"Where is the snare?" Sounds like Vicarious-Tool.

Author — Charles Le Sorcier

Another stereotype I see a lot is guitarists looking bored while playing.

Author — Crocodonk

2 things

1) you forgot ridiculously high straps

2) my brother says you look like you run off 2 hours of sleep per month and are fueled by coffee

Great vid 🤘

The BTBAM pun was perfect for the long song section.

Author — Jesus_the_frog42

Personally, I favorite time signature is 19.39/74. I'm sure you heard that one in BTBAM's "Mordecai".
