   I didn't explore down the board this far so I've been posting a bit elsewhere.

I'm a 29 year old drummer (though I haven't played since my son was
born no room) and singer.  I have always been a huge metal fan
dating back to the early 90s.

Fates Warning was my introduction to progressive music and then later
Dream Theater.  It was not until about 2 years ago (and cable
internet in the southern US) that I was able to really branch out and
discover a wider variety of bands.  My location (Augusta, GA)
isn't well known for its musical selection.  

Anyway, in the past two years, I've gotten into Pain of Salvation, Yes,
King Crimson, ELP, Marillion, Vintersorg, Ayreon, Ensiferum, Finntroll,
old Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Shadow Gallery, newer Savatage, Symphony X,
Opeth , Chroma Key, Immolation, Dead Soul Tribe, and Archetype...and
now The Flower Kings...  Most of these are metal bands...but stand
out to me as progressive compared to the hordes of other boring metal
bands on the Ozzfest tour...

I can pretty much tolerate anything except hip hop, country, and this emo/screamo/hardcore stuff.

	welcome welcome first today to see the creepshow come see the exhibits but do not touch they cannot bear touch here in the freak show please do not hang back it's hard enough to show people around the creepshow the creepshow first, here on the rack strapped a child's virgin mind we see the careful whitecoats affix their machines veins to the pulsing neck side checking dials they monitor reaction she must love her daddy's banker she must love her daddy's banker for her part in the creepshow the creepshow Amanda, so sad Amanda but let's brush over sadness give her the pills and diagnose madness give her... give her... give her... give her... give her... give her... give her... give her... Amanda Amandahahahahaha! anymore for any more? no! Cyril Has-Or-Might-Have-Been must fill his lust they let him bayonet robots as his morning constitutional to sate his rage unless he feels his age we can't have that! sometimes he'll watch a war-film on the moron machine in the corner of his cell lost in time lost in mind Cyril writhes like smoke his bigot's eyes are slashed skin their expression none the nicer for being blank Amanda, still mad Amanda still sad... "And so ladies and gentlemen, we come to the nerve centre of the whole affair. As you will see, it is a mirror. To some it is the mirror of dreams, where every passion, desire and action flit through the still spaces behind its surface, tantalising yet distant. Of these many stand before it until death. To others, it is distorting, everything in it being warped and buckled by fear, yet perceived as reality. These will cringe before it, wimpering and immobile, though a few batter their skulls against the dull sheen, attempting to smash the horrors they believe are in the glass or at least attain oblivion, whichever comes first. Some see just a mirror, whilst some see what at first appears to be their own image. Which, however, moves them saying 'Come On, Wake up! Who's running this show anyway?'" now it's up to you use your free will you decide yes you! you! you decide whether or not you will return for if you come again you'd better bring your ball and chain unguided embittered attraction of the creepshow the creepshow the creepshow Any way Welcome Heir To ruin. I just thought I put down a lyric from Twelfth Night (Creepshow)
