Subject: your dream prog band...
Date Posted: April 05 2005 at 20:49

Hey what´s up!?!?!?! I always like to imagine what would happen if my favorite musicians would play in one band...so I sayd myself, thats a good question to ask, and where could I make that question if not here..???

So, how would your dream prog band be???

Mine would be:

Peter Gabierl (voice)

Robert Fripp (guitar and devices)

Chris Squire (bass guitar)

Bill Bruford (drums )

and I guess it would be kind of a heavy fusion-symphonic with great vocals...

And then a modern band:

Mattias Olsson - Drums
