I wanna be your friend man, feel free to bash The Mars Volta and stuff as much as you want, even if i turned into an ELP fan i wud still bash em cos i just dont care, and i like a challenge and some humour! But i am giving ELP a chance, not blowing em off cos they are modern or look gothic, and btw if you think thats gothic you aint seen nothing!   Yes i am loverly when someone winds me the wrong way! I won't give modern prog a chance cos i've heard all i can take.& i'm afraid i'm not missing out on anything at all.You cannot be nice to me Frenchie when you've just blasted ELP & King crimson at the same time.Joking or not it's personal ok! I don't go bashing any particular band at one time the whole new race of so called prog is really bad.The original early prog is absolutly everything to me,the style,lyrics,the raw production,limited instruments of the time,bizzare lyrics etc all fantastic,time & fashion completely destroyed this all,you could hear it through the years the aweful progression of styles which is ironic but i know...The musicians actually destroyed themselves following the fashion,be it keeping up with trends such as the punk revolution or record companies sticking the foot dowN,either way it was done & so was prog.These new artists have absolutly no idea,they can't & never will.   old prog and new prog but old prog even more so is EVERYTHING to me, not just prog actually, i love both old and new. Please read my review of ELP, i gave it 4 stars, i would really love it if you read it. Also KC are one of my fave bands! I didnt even think i WAS bashing them

Frenchie whats this bit all inade in your review of ELP album regarding the finish of ''Lucky man''???????

 '''''''yet it has a stupid ending which sounds like you are being chased by an ambulance or something!''''''''

Do you actually know what's going off there?First portable synthesizer!'MINI MOOG' of which not many people had heard off,a fantastic show piece that was taken on by virtually every prog band to follow.To hear a 'MINI MOOG' solo on a rock records was truly fantastic especially in the fasion keith did it making use of the powerful Oscolators/filters the synth had on offer.Even though the big 'Moog modular system he used prior to this was technically superior but you just could'nt get the sound & easy accesability the potable had.So it's not a bloody ambulance it's an electronic display of the artist & his new machine.

Well, ok then. I don't see why, I hear a great deal of Sabbath/ELP/Crimson/Beatles influence.

Hey,stop taking cheap shots at Threefates,lad!

Karnevil9 wrote:   If i see any inclination of someone digging at ELP there gonna get it,you did it early on saying that the King crimson Lyrics were better than anything ELP could have wrote,then you pull the KC lyrics down saying they were childlike.So is that not enough to piss me off then?

Do I have to start posting my ELP "selection" again,or are you going to behave?

Have you ran out of proper insults, i expect better from you, since you managed to defend you band and take on most of the site, including reed lover! Listen to Damnation, you will love it! Look frenchie i'm not here to take on no one,especially Reed.Reed & i have faced our differences in good humour & are respected friends now on here. What the hell would i wanna listern to that crap for uh,??Well i did actually for two milli seconds that was enough. I'm sorry but the long straigh black hair & logo styling is very gothic looking to me. How the hell can you take the piss out of lyrics in comparison to that sh*t? Wake up.. The no nonesence lyrics were part of the prog ideal in those days,far more clever than any lyric now.They may seem very childlike to you be they very cleverely convey what the artist wanted to convey.This obviously tells me you have no intrest in this music at all.

So now you're dismissing a band just because of how they look?
