Countdown, Youthanasia and The World needs a hero aren't thrash, more like melodic metal. So I think they do count as an experiment. And they were succesful. So 3/4. It wins over Metallica.

I'm a progressive music fan too. I'm also a fan of metal, rock, jazz, rap, whatever. As long as it sounds good. I don't need all music to be progressive, if it was I'd probably go insane. When I listen to Megadeth, I listen for good thrash metal, melodies and solos. If I want complexity or experimentation, I'll listen to someone else. If you have a formula that works, and you're one of the best at what you do, and you really don't do anything else as good, why would you try to do something else?Long story short, I'm against "if ain't broke, why fix it" philosophy. I hate it. That's probably why I call myself a progressive music fan rather than a metal or rock fan anyway.

Different artists have different intentions. Some want to push boundaries, be innovators. Others just want to play the music that they love, and if that's just simple rock music, then there isn't anything wrong with that. You shouldn't expect every artist to drastically evolve and try different things, because you're gonna be disappointed a lot.
I don't really wanna rewatch the video...
Yea I understand that, but it isn't something I agree with.You do remember that my interpretation of progressiveness is a lot different than its common interpretation, right ? Being original itself is progressiveness. And complexity has nothing to do with progressiveness in my sense. Some bands chose to be progressive with complexity, some didn't.
For example, Bay Area Thrash Metal bands came up with a mix of punk rock and NWOBHM. Metallica's first album, Kill'em All is entirely made of basic compositions. But I consider Metallica to be a progressive band, since they're the pioneers of an entirely new genre. Mind you, I don't call them progressive metal or whatever, I call them thrash metal (well the 80's and Death Magnetic) but I consider them progressive as a band.
I hope you get me. If I'm going to be disappointed because I want bands to experiment, I want bands to keep me excited, then so be it.
