It would probably be quite interesting to take note... now I have absolutely no clue. Well the more short posts like that you make, the more you posted Today has been kind of a long day, but simultaneously has slipped out of my hands. I could have sworn I was below 4300 this morning... so I think. Though I don't remember. Dammit. Geezus , another day of extreme posting for you? Who do you think you are... me?

Nah.

I can post extreme posts if I want to. It doesn't mean I'm a Harry spambot clone.

4482 [17.79 posts per day]

I never would have thought my average would be that high, even if it was a peak.

Over the last few years, I've grown up around guitar playing, heavy metal and more recently prog in general, so really, I love to be to go to a forum where they discuss metal or guitar too, because obviously those aren't big topics here, but at other places I can feel more free to discuss that stuff and have people know what I'm talking about. Really, I'm more into playing than both prog and metal, so I see myself kinda as a "jack of all trades, master of none", because I know people can wipe the floor with me with their knowledge of prog or metal.

Yeah, I can understand that. I, however, am pretty much a full-blown proghead. I've been gathering information since 2005, so I know alot (which has a notoriety with my colleagues)... but in comparison to some people who are specialized on here, I still have quite a bit to go.

Ah okay, yeah.
Sometimes it bothers me, people suggest "get this prog album!", but sometimes I just really want to get something new from a non prog genre, like a new album from a metal band or something.
I guess while i may not be a full blown prog metal head, my knowledge of music and metal in general allows me to understand elements of prog metal, that perhaps a non metal fan might not be able to see.

I bet even Harry hates Evergrey.

Yay!

With music, I've mostly gone through several phases. I've had a big punk phase, a big metal and "classic rock" phase, and now a prog phase. Eventually I'll probably dig up some of the stuff I listened to years ago and see if I get anything new out of it. I tend to be more open to other people's tastes in music rather than go OMGZ U SUCK0RZ PROG R TEH BESTEST! IMO each genre is geared toward a certain audience. I just tend to find prog to be more....sophisticated and refined for lack of a better word. Even with my prog influence, I'd still say I subscribe to aspects of the Nirvana school of musical thought as well, especially the parts on playing loud, rocking out, and developing basic song structure instead of mathmatically planning everything out. Overall I think that the point of music isn't necessarily just complexity, but 'progressing' forward and setting new boundaries.

At the risk of sounding repetitive, you have no life.

I agree with that. That's exactly my philosophy with CoAM
