they are prog rock that bring most of the elements of prog metal. their use of complex structures, odd time signatures and very long songs that have concepts are all part of prog metal. they are prog rock but also have the prog metal side of things. prog rock/alt metal, which they get labeled prog metal most of the time. prog metal has so many different subs. mars volta is part of that. they mix prog with jazz fusion,prog rock,prog metal,post hardcore, post punk, and more. Tool is prog rock,prog metal, art rock, and alt metal. right now i would consider them just regular prog rock. they are some what missing the prog metal that made their name back then. still a good band though :]
I guezz TOOL for me wud fall under progezzive but like in another sub-sub genre. cuz with some other progrezzive bandz Ayreon, Rush, Stream of Passion, and Pain of Salvation. TOOL wudnt really fit imo. But since "Progressive" iz the umbrella term, they wud.
Ayreon would be the odd ball on that list. i would classify them on their own kind of genre. they mix sooooooo much different stuff. prog rock/metal with folk,classical, rock opera, and so many others. their concepts are pretty cool though. what would you classify them as mr. cheeze?
Tool is not progressive metal. They have no metal in them. Marc just keeps proving how much he doesn;t know about metal. First slipknot having death metal in them, now this. Fucking p0zorz need to learn metal.
Oh, and find a girlfriend in their own city, who isn't gonna fuck some random ::animatedlaugh
Oh, and to even insinuate the the mars volta is metal in any way, shows what a flaming faggot marc is. The mars volta is the gayest shit I've ever heard, right alongside the other emos my chemical romance and fall out boy. Learn what metal is you fucking cuckold.
