You may ask, why the hell I ranted in this thread at first place?

Now I don't know what band and I don't know what you mean. Maybe it's a language thing. Sure, I'll take a PM.

No, it's not Dream Theater nor Tool. Stop it! If someone is really curious, I'll reply with PM, damn. What homepage are you talking about guys?

FWIW, the homepage I'm talking about was not DT's.

Hmm, Firefox showed me the name of familiar page loading when I was reading your post for the first time. Nothing came up eventually, no image, no vid... but there's no sign of it now.

Let me ask you something - did you link to that band's homepage in your previous post, and the link didn't work?

There are many bands I dislike, including big ones, but there's one band that deserves a special place in the very special section of my heart called hatred.
People say you should show a respect for musicians, but I can't. They grabbed their guitars and formed a band. Big deal. The emptiest, unimaginative boredom. I feel sick because I'm a member of the same set as them, called human race. I want them dissolved from the surface of this planet, but that won't help because they existed and contaminated the history.

Yes , who , who, who? tell us? WHo should we hate with so much venom?

I really can't get into the most of prog-metal, but I am trying to listen to many of the more common bands on Spotify so I at least can say tried :) I guess I am just too old for this kind of music :)

I don't think Zappa is quite the musical genius people make him out to be either. He did some good work, but a lot of it sounds fairly similar, and I'll never understand what's so great about the Inca Roads solo.

I agree, They are full of talented musicians that sing about stupid stuff that we laughed at when we were 7 years old. I could never understand the huge fanbase that Zappa generates.

Maybe the huge fanbase that he has generated is because he really was a genius, musically speaking. Come on people what albums have you listened by him to "testify" that? I mean, okay, if you heard a good bunch then fine, but if you haven't heard any of his classics it's pretty much absurd to say such things.

edit: The same applies to Weird Al for me, Can't stand him..... making tons of money ruining songs.

King Crimson   A few good songs, (excellent actually) but overall they're tough for me. And someone above said Mastodon. I love their first 2 albums but I just can not get into their "prog" albums. In fact I think they suck. I'm in a small minority, but I just do not like their last few.

The one band that comes to mind for me is Symphony X. I like a few bands you can lump into the same genre (Dream Theater, Fates Warning), but Symphony X do little for me. Same goes with some other prog metal bands but I don't want to say names in case I accidently say the wrong bands.
