I'd never heard of Fates Warning before. That sounds really cool, thanks!
This channel is quickly becoming the Every Frame a Painting of heavy music.
this is how i will introduce this channel to friends now, nice!
Man I've never been this early for one of your videos. Huge fan of your work.
Thanks for the King's X love. I really thought Ear Candy was their true "exvangelical" moment.
Ah the time of trench coats, those were some weird and fantastic times. I’m loving what you are doing, keep up the awesome!!!
Long time Queensrÿche fan here. I didn't quite know what to think of Promised Land back in -94. It wasn't what I expected to hear from the band, nor was it what I wanted, but after a while it started to grow on me, and now it's been my second favorite Queensrÿche album for well over 25 years. Melodic, dark, somber and introspective. It's just phenomenal music. I also realize I probably should check out 90s King's X. Never paid much attention to those guys in the past, but that sounded pretty interesting.
Love these types of videos, man. Your voice compliments the information on the history of what bands and artists had to go through in order to stay relevant/changing their sound and craft when trying to reach another audience. Keep up the great work!
Dogman and APSOG are 90's gold
great work, I’d really like to see next a video on 80s post punk and synth pop bands in the 90s
When I saw Doug Pinnick in the thumbnail I was hoping you’d bring up Fade. I love that song.
When you talk about 90's bands going prog, I hope Mansun's Six is right there at the top of the video!
Hell yeah.
Talk talk and post rock when?
This was clearly a labor of love. Awesome
Great video. Interesting Dreaam theater invented the 7 string as well as the gojira scrape
God, that's what I haven't been able to put my finger on all these years. Dream Theater puts out objectively excellent prog metal albums, but I will always miss their attempt at something else. It was so good, and absolutely deserved more praise.
I think it’s insane Rush was not only able to transition perfectly into the 80’s, but the 90’s as well. Touring with Primus and Living Colour and dropping one of their best records in ‘93 with Counterparts.
All great groups and talent. Love them all. King's X is an all time favorite! Black Flag, Its Love, Dogman, and the list goes on.
Good stuff. Promised Land is tied with Rage For Order as my favorite 'ryche album. It's so moody and interesting, it grabbed me right away in high school and continues to captivate me. The title track is a crazy good opus of atmosphere. Dogman is a monster album, and one that I've enjoyed a lot over the years. I came late to the King's X camp, and then didn't stay on the train after hearing Ear Candy and being a bit disappointed with it. I've since gone back and collected the entire catalog of their albums, and will be working my way through them. Fates Warning is another band I need to expand more. I've seen them live, and they were awesome. I was big into their late 80's and early 90's stuff, but then didn't keep going. I got Inside Out recently, so that will be on the docket, and I bought their 2020 album Long Day Good Night not long ago, and it's a really good listen. I'm glad you mentioned Awake - that's where I discovered Dream Theater, and it's still my favorite of their albums. I've seen them live twice, and both times were incredible. But Awake just has that darker tone to it, that crunchy and heavy sound that I find so satisfying to listen to. I heard "Caught In A Web" first on the radio, and knew I had to hear more of the band. I bought the CD on the morning of Christmas Eve (ironic), and listening in the car on the way home, I was blown away by what I heard. Needless to say, I became a fan that day.
Loving this channel so much. Such a great counterpoint to the New Wave obsessives.
Can't believe I've never heard those 90s Queensryche songs, seems way more in my lane than their 80s stuff. That riff in the one with the live video I can't help thinking Shiner (probably accidentally) ripped off on their song Spinning, it's so much the same vibe but just goes in a more twisted direction song-wise. (EDIT: After listening to Sign of the Times, I think they got that bendy guitar tone from Groundhog's Day by Primus; the next song on the album is a deadass Possum Kingdom ripoff tho). King's X sounds awesome, too, surprised Spotify AI hasn't gotten this stuff to me yet lol. Gonna pretend I didn't hear the Fates Warning song for the sake of plausible deniability if I sample it later. The only Dream Theater song I really like is the one the guitarist wrote about getting big-leagued by the Queensryche guitarist (As I Am).
I used to have, "Out of the silent Planet" and I couldn't figure out a single song on that CD! I loved that album, or cd?
Of course, I found out later that the guitarist uses alternate tunings to achieve his sound. I need to investigate that album again and give it another go. Some killer tracks on it from what I remember.
I know they weren't technically an 80s prog metal band, but King Crimson's 90s albums are also worth an exploration, maybe in a separate video.
Very good video. 90s Fates Warning was something special.
These vids rule. Thanks for doing them.
I agree doing some catchy song orientated material to diversify and bring in new listeners is a good thing. As long as the material is good of course.
I always considered Tool and the bands they inspired ( Karnivool, Wheel etc) as " Alternative Prog Metal"
Great video! I've always loved Fates Warning. All the way back to when they were clubbing around Connecticut. 💯👍
To be a Dogman....Summerland is dope af as well
Maybe Living Colour could be included even though they weren't dominantly metal.
I know you did 80's hair bands in the 90's grunge, but maybe do a 80's thrash bands in the 90's grunge and alternative era. Thanks.
Great vid. Good points, wall-to-wall.
Great watch!
Shouldn't Faith No More be in that cluster?
Hah I just finished a song with a 90s wiggle wonk in it
Fates Warning 🔥
Am I trippin or did you skip Kings X’s 92 self titled record
I think he skipped it because it wasn't truly a grunge era album. It's still my fave album of theirs though.
How prog.
Alternative was already 80s
LOL
Yo! Kings X!!!! That band was tight!
