You and I know they're huge, but I wondered how many FReepers might be (closet) headbangers?

"You and I know they're huge, but I wondered how many FReepers might be (closet) headbangers?" Not a "headbanger" back in the day, headbangers were considered "posers". I formed my musical tastes in the middle/late '80s. Much more into speed metal and "viking" metal. (Manowar, Leige Lord, Candlemass)

The best progressive metal bands are coming out of Europe frankly. Check out Stratovarius, Nocturnal Rites, Hammerfall, and Sonata Artica (amazing) to name a few. While American bands are also excellent with music theory, they are sadly lacking catchy melodies.
As for Jason Becker, he and Marty Friedman (Megadeth) used to play years ago. Both solo and a collaboration called Cacophony
