talk the talk... walk the walk I nearly left Raff for a prog musician.... at the Magma gig at the French embassy here in D.C ..whenever that was... 2010. I met Stella Vander and it was one of those moments... we made eye contact over the desert table at the VIP reception.. we locked eyes and I know for me.. and surely for her... my head swam in thought of passionate lovemaking and general mayhem as I was sucked into her by those eyes.. her beauty.... then I looked over and saw Raff sitting at our table unceromonously stuffed a piece of food into her mouth and remembered just how much I loved that woman... so I broke eye contact and saved not only my marriage.. but Magma so the rest of you could enjoy their later concerts and save Christian from the heartbreak of having his wife leave him for some young hot and very sexy American knuckledragger.... true story.. top that.. hah... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I'm starting to feel the same way about In The Court of The Crimson King. Not necessarily because it's a poor album (I think it still deserves every bit of the 5 star rating I gave it), but I've just been finding so much more music (within the King Crimson catalogue and otherwise) that I enjoy more on a regular basis. Halloween is coming up, though, which means a back-to-back listening of Black Sabbath and Court. And after all, the less often you listen to the classics, the fresher and more fulfilling they sound when you finally get around to listening to them. But I'm sure I'll be in the cold, cold ground before I start to find Close To The Edge stale. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

| I have listened to hundreds of prog bands, thousands of prog albuns for some 30 years. But deep inside I'm always looking for repeating the emotion I had when I first listened "Close to the edge", -- and also "Nursery Chyme" , "Pawn Hearts" and "Fragile".

Just to mention, other non-prog experiences that canīt be beaten: Listening to Led Zeppelin II,III, IV and HOTH when I was 15 or listening to Beatles discography when I was 13-14. Better than sex? . I have to say that I have listened TOO much CTTE, and nowadays I'm kind of "comfortably numb" to it, but I remember the first listening, getting the LP out of the misterious green cover, putting in the LP player and been tranfered to other dimension, surreal, fantastic, of infinite pleasure, and that green cover got full of meaning. And I have neven taken LSD. |

I have been getting into Motorhead and AC/DC myself lately. I am just starting to understand what was great about Bon Scott. My policy is one of no guilt. Your listening is your pleasure and no one else's. That said, people are often surprised that I like, say, both Kiss and Chet Atkins. Confuses the living daylights out of them when I play them back to back.  The missus won't let me play the Residents when she is in the house, which is unfortunate but I really can't blame her. She does not share my propensity for the absurd.------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

I wasn't driving when Nostell happened (I still hadn't learned). I drank a helluva lot, starting at about 11am. They had Best Bitter and Old Peculier, which is a recipe for rapid unconsciousness. I was very merry when Marillion came on. By the time Tull came on I was truly paralytic. But it was a great gig. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I had a similar thing happen with Eddie Jobson on that tour. I was at WBAB and they did an interview. I had a friend who was a DJ and she invited me down to meet them. I asked Jobson for a keyboard lesson, which he obliged and taught me this wierd little idea about the arch of the hands while playing. Being 16, I said, "Cool, like you could do that with the bassline of Tarkus..." thinking that he would say something like, "Yeah, kid, great song. I like ELP, too" But his ride showed up and he just got up and left without saying goodbye or smiling at my cute remark. I don't look at him so much as being a snob, he was probably under a lot of stress, maybe he thought I thought he was Keith Emerson? ------------- -- Robert Pearson Regenerative Music http://www.regenerativemusic.net Telical Books http://www.telicalbooks.com ParaMind Brainstorming Software http://www.paramind.net |

I had a similar experience with I asked Adrian Belew about the then upcoming King Crimson live shows that are still going at the moment after the Crimson ProjKCt concert in Melbourne. They had just been announced, so there wasn't much in the way of news, and I innocently asked, as he was signing a few of my Crimso CD's, if he was going to be a part of those shows, and he kind of froze up and said: "No. Because. I. Was. Not. Asked. To. Be. A. Part. Of. Those..." in this kind of fuming, seething manner, and then handed me my discs back and turned away and walked of Glad he was already in the process of signing then I asked!  I didn't ask Tony Levin about it, and I think he WAS part of those shows, but he also signed them!

I live 100m from a Theakstons pub which also serves some phenomenal guest beers. I can't drink more than couple now but I really enjoy my ale. In 1982, Theakstons was the beer to seek out. Dave Pegg of Tull has a long history with the Theakston family, which is why they were doing the bar at Nostell. Warm sunny day, great music (well, except for Huang Chung who got bottled off) and great beer. What a day!! ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Many years ago I kept it secret I liked Genesis. I couldn't win. If I did say I was a fan of this prog band then I was a BOF and out of touch with the current pop scene (which I wasn't but would have preferred to have done so). Or I was some trendy pop fan (worst possible accusation) who had no interest in substantial music i.e. prog or symphonic rock to give it's genre specific term. All that might very well have been true but it meant I had to keep it all secret. Like how now only me and the neighbours know I'm listening to Beethoven Piano sonatas. |

I absolutely ADORE 'Chicago 16' ..............as far as '80's Product' goes, this album is the bee's knees. Just superb. My heart lies in Canterbury stuff and associated, since the late-80's at least. And Nektar, Floyd and Kraut etc. But in the last few years this 'Extreme' Metal style has really lifted its game, so I'm indulging. I truly don't give a f**k about genre appreciation, but if I dig something, so then be it. I headbang the same to 80's Chicago as I do Meshuggah !! Believe me, you can...... |

| Gutural vocal like Opeth and black metal is unlistenable and unacceptable. Completely retarded 12 year old making vocals "from hell", no more, no less. Iīd rather listen to Justin Bieber -- who I've never listened to yet. Prog should be about originality, not "competition of retarded 12 year old boys to sound like 12 old boys, to check who of them sound more like a cartoon scaring devil". what comes next? jerkinf off competition? |

I'm a big fan of the 1979 album A Cut Above the Rest by Sweet because of its slight but sugary foray into somewhat proggy keyboards on a few of its numbers (a la bad Triumvirat). At the time, I was hoping for further elements of the genre to pop up on subsequent efforts, but the remaining trio called it quits one putridly awful album later. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting.

Nothing to be ashamed of there. Two of the best shows I've ever seen were the Dead Kennedys (Chicago, mid-80s) and Buddy Guy ('90/'91 in Deerfield, IL). Either of those shows blew away the times I saw (and enjoyed) Yes, Genesis, or King Crimson. ------------- jc |

I had it on my Ipod a few months ago and gave it another listen out of the blue at work, and I thought `This album is drippier than someone blowing their nose on a wet pancake' and when I got home I deleted it. Pretty sure that line was partly stolen from an old Simpsons gag Ha, perhaps I associate it with the `delightful experience' I had of discovering that my review for `Heaven and Earth' (which WAS a positive and fair 3 stars, go read it!) got passed around dozens of Yes groups on Facebook, and to say that I was a mix of crucified, abused, ridiculed, mocked and all around bent over and dealt with would be an understatement! And on the off chance someone agreed with what I wrote (again - POSITIVE REVIEW!!), they turned on them as well. It was two verses and a chorus of `It's a 5 star album', `He's not a fan', `He doesn't know what he's talking about', `It's their best album since...', `He hates Yes' etc etc. It was f*cking surreal, and I still laugh about it!

I like newer Opeth with the clean vocals quite a bit but saw Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries on sale for really cheap and thought I'd give them a try. I hate the gutteral vocals too. However, I like the music around the vocals a great deal. It's rather difficult trying to hear one while tuning out the other but worth it IMO. ------------- More heavy prog, please! |

When I was young and didn't know much English, I couldn't make sense of English lyrics. Now I live in the UK for a long time but I still don't get most lyrics unless I concentrate on getting them, and most of the time I don't, because I'm not interested. Sometimes even some part of a song including lyrics comes into my head spontaneously, and only then I realise what the lyrics mean, but before, having listened to this song 50 times, I never had bothered. |

It's taken me a long time to muster up the courage to say this and after a bottle of cheap vodka, I'm ready. My deepest, darkest prog secret is that in my lowest moments when I'm feeling down and out, I pull out and listen to.... [Spoiler ahead] Love Beach   |

You're not the only one. I can tell that a song isn't 4/4 if I concentrate real hard. I can't get much beyond that. |

Come on dudes, you aren't a prog fan for real if you can't tell when Aesop's Triangular Plantain are playing in 13/19 time, except for the guy on marimba. Alternatively: time signatures, very important if you're in the band, otherwise who could care? |

Dancers have to feel the rhythm, but do they have to count it?

They'd be in trouble if they have to count beyond 3............. ------------- "Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes" and I need the knits, the double knits! |

Micky is probably just messing with you, since technically you can edit the quotes however you want (see above). He's our resident mad crank
, let him be and he won't sic the redheads on you. |

My deepest, darkest prog secret is..... I have never, ever heard one single Rush track in my entire longish life....or at least I wouldn't know I have.....and I'm old i.e. >55 <60. Apologies to all Rush aficionados. |

I have a very minor crush on 1970s era Steve Howe. There, now the whole world knows.

Just very minor?  Aren't you the world's biggest Steve Howe fan? I get you, though. Steve may not have been the most handsome guy in rock, but he had a dark and mysterious allure to him:  Too bad he grew up to look like someone's great-grand-uncle that got left out in the sun too long.  If I was to pick a Yes crush, though, I'd go for Bruford.  Yum  The man looks like a walking euphemism! ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |
