Neo Classical solos is not Prog necessarilly, there have to be many other things more, hey lets add Walter Murphy because he performed a Disco version of Beethoven's Fifth!!
Yngwie Malmsteen added some NEO CLASSICAL SOLOS, but the structure is just Metal, not more, not less.
A Prog band or composition has to consider the whole stucture, not just a couple of solos artificially added over a 100% Metal structure.
In other words Malmsteen adds a Bach solo while the rest of the band is backuping him with 100% metal paraphernalia that has very little or absolutely no relation with the solo
Yngwie blends nothing, that solo could be added almost over any genre.

exactly.. it is his impact, his importance, as David said.. that is what sets him above others and make him a worthy addition here.. and keeps others from being considered ... we'd hate to become shreddingarchives.com hahahhah good one Teo...

Avantgardehead's point was about METALLICA... not about Malmsteen....
Even though, as absurd as it sounds, that point doesn't work for the intended target (metallica) but WORKS for Malmsteen, as he's the one with classical solos and metal versions of classical...
I think the point about the solos has been made. Prog-metal would never add Malmsteen... I speak for myself... 1/3 of the team disagrees, and I guess everybody will disagree with his inclusion in PM....
About prog-related, that's another matter... One that could be discussed when time allows for it...

Yes I know T, that's why I deleted the Metallica references, even when I'm not sure about Metallica either.

That's my point, Yngwie solos are artificial, he could add them over Classic Rock, Jazz, Doisco or even Salsa, but there's no blending of genres, while the band plays 100% straight Metal, he plays artificial solos.
I think the point about the solos has been made. Prog-metal would never add Malmsteen... I speak for myself... 1/3 of the team disagrees, and I guess everybody will disagree with his inclusion in PM....
I knew from the start Malmsteen would not be accepted by Prog Metal.
About prog-related, that's another matter... One that could be discussed when time allows for it...
Then we are turning Prog Related in a dumping ground for non Prog bands, with no Prog relation just because they are popular.
If Malmsteen is related with something is with Neo Classical, and Neo Classical is not Prog necesarilly.
The day he writes a coherent album where he fluently blends Metal and Classical as a whole integral work, then he could have a place in Prog Related or who knows, if the change is radical, maybe even Prog Metal.
But that day hasn't come yet, while his bands plays Metal, pure Metal and nothing but Metal, he adds a couple of Neo Classical solos, that's not making a fusion or a merge, just adding a Baroque topping to his Metal tracks.
Cheers
Iván

Not a bad point at all...
I guess Prog-related is, sadly but really, a sort of "popular-bands-that-quite-didn't-make-it" genre... But I don't make a big deal about it.. After all, it's just a fraction of the whole site...

well not quite, Ivan, his first three albums (at least) compositionally progressed classical metal *far* beyond Blackmore and Gary Moore (both of whom appear on PA in various forms), Roth or Schenker... but it's up to others whether he actually ever appears here and it doesn't really concern me either way

exactly it isn't a big deal.... it's not like anyone wastes time with it... when was the last major addition to it... Sabbath.. and that was an owner decision.. not pushed by our collabs.

Oh yes, I really don't know anything about progressive metal. Not at all. And I was just guessing about Metallica having neo-classical solos. In fact, I didn't even know they had neo-classical solos because I've never listened to them in my entire life. Please, oh Master of Progressive Metal, teach me about this incredible music that I've never heard because I need to expand my concept therein. Give me a break, I don't care who you think you are, but you have no right to tell me what I do and do not know. Do you know me? Obviously not, so just back away and go feel superior somewhere else, son. And also, upon second thought, I guess the neo-classical solo part does apply to both artists. Unintentionally hilarious!

So...Why not add Vanessa Mae?
She's a Classically trained violin player, at the age of 10 played with London's Philharmonia Orchestra. she was the youngest violinist ever to record the Tchaikovsky and Beethoven violin concertos, made a world tour with the London Mozart Players during the Mozart bicentennial year.
In her albums with her Rock band Red Hot she plays music of:
- Bach
- Vivaldi
- Paganini
- Beethoven
- Bruch
- Brahms
- Pucini
- Ravel
- Etc.
And she evens looks nicer than Malmsteen with her mini skirts  .... But nobody would dream in adding her to Prog Archives, despite she really blends the music because Red Hot plays along with her but the problem is that her music is POP with Classical..
Merging Classical with Rock is not necesarilly Prog, Vanessa Mae plays Pop with Classical while Malmsteen plays Metsal with Classical solos, none of them should be here.

I'd go even further... Sorry if you thought I was acting "superior"... But about the Metallica thing, let's soon have a discussion so that you can understand what I said. |
Care to read my avantgarde friend?
Don't erase your HD though... you don't want ME to be the reason of future pain...
So now that we're both open minded, we can, someday, discuss other matters... Now let's leave it here...
And for the rest, I repeat my opinion: Malsmteen does NOT belong in prog-metal... He has never been even considered as I can see in the chart, but he could be added just to have a sure vote of the other members...
