Have you heard his new one? - it's bad, and not just because I'm a progster - I mean it's really bad...tired, dull, unoriginal and *every* song is standard blues-based.   



Nonononono! Scalper's name is Dillon.

This is a monologue written in Japanese by more than 30 years progressive rock fan. This is my deep grief.
 
日本語で書いた、年寄りの独り言と思ってくだされCry
型を追ってばかりでは、将来は暗いのぉ。将来の主流が云々言うでなく、それこそ、何でもありの自由な発想がプログレッシヴ･ロックの原点だったのに、いつしか先人の作ったスタイルを追うことで満足するようになっていやせぬか？
はぁぁ...
行き詰まりを感じる今日この頃。
演奏水準は確かに高い。楽曲もそれ自体はよく作られている。しかし、押しなべて、色気がない。いや、表現に難しいのだけど場の雰囲気を一変させるほどの、何がしかのカリスマ性に乏しいと言うべきか。そういうのが、本当に多く感じられる。
もっとも、一流というのが少ないのは、今も昔も同じなんだろうけどね。Ermm

It's hard to know, sometimes the only thing you have to do is wait. But I think Prog Metal is reigning not only in prog but also is filling the Metalheads that look fo something different.

Well, it could be said that in the *past* prog was mainstream. Take a look at the music charts for the early/mid 70s; prog was everywhere doing quite good business: Yes, Mahavishnu, King Crimson, ELP, Tull, the list goes on and on...what a magnificent time!

Yeah, a lot of prog-metal bands seem to play distorted riffs for the sake of being heavy, and forget the point of being metal. The heavier end of prog metal is generally more experimental, imo.

I wanted to revisit this thread once more before it dies completely-- so tell me, where *do* you see prog going over the next ten years or so? Styles, technology, trends, innovations, rehashings...remember, a new generation of young musicians who were enamored by prog rock (the old and new) will be coming on, what will they bring to the music?

Progression or development of music genres will always xist - for better or worst. Prog rock as a genre is dead, and I can't see any sign of reali life in rock'n'roll as well (rock'n'roll music). Heavy metal is the only rock subgenre where I can see any kind of ral mutation ... ut for worst. The energy that always was a characteristic of this gnre ws lost, and the great number of power metal/porg metal acts just show this fact to me. They're neither prog nor metal. That's the reason why I'm looking more and more for the roots of modern western music. As a listerner, I feel more pleasure looking back than to our days. Hope I'm wrong, but the points of the youngsters in this forum of how great this or that band is just make me sad.  
Bach, Ma, Bros, Déia, Dante.

Duck: No, never heard Jandek but I take your word for it and am sure there are a few evolutionary blues cats. Good to hear it.

Wizard: Also good to hear (and you'd know, being in your teens). I hope you're right and I look forward to the second (third?) coming of prog!

Prog is the future of music. We are entering a prog revolution. Mainstream bands are taking a seriously progressive approach to music and introducing kids to the classics. I'm seeing it first hand as a high school student.

I disagree. You ever heard Jandek? Only place I can classify him is in Blues... and he deserves a genre of Progressive Blues just by himself.
