As for the bands you like, I like... 30% of them Sikth and BTBAM are awesome.
 
Awesome!  I'd love to hear something someday.  Yeah how good 'were' Sikth?  By the time I got into them they had split up=[
 
 
I'm from Paisley which is right outside Glasgow which is in Scotland matey!  I always wanted to go to NYC.  I guess I watch too much How I met Your MotherLOL

Was this just you or were there other musicians?


It was me and Gentle Giant.  EmbarrassedWink

No...that was all me.  We found out early on (like in 1st grade) that I don't work well with groups.  Embarrassed

Thanks for listening buddy.

Gutted.  I love green fonts.  I guess the other forum I use has a black backround.  I'll use purple here instead!  Cheers for the welcome=]

Nice to have you...

Alreet!  My name's Ollie but that username was taken sooo yeah.  I needed somewhere to talk prog and nothin' but prog.  Bands I like incude Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Sikth, Tesseract, Planet X, Between the buried and me to name a few in the proggy region.  I wanted to talk to people who understand the music a bit more than regular listeners i.e  time signatures etc.  Am I in the right place then?=p
