Yes, it's a regular PARADISE at the non-prog mental convention, with all and sundry getting along swimmingly!
Meanwhile, in the sequestered Dream Theater and metal section, Maani and the Unfallen Collaborators have descended to mete out punishment, and restore order:

Sorry to quote myself, but i find curious that i've never seen a german member on this site, considering that Germany has done so much great prog!

There are at least two germans : Dieter Fischer who has his nickname Hdfsch (or something like that) and Diddy who also write reviews.
As for Italians , this BELVA guy just got the boot if we can believe Manunkind but there is also Lethe who writes reviews.

Yes, BELVA's no more, you'll find that his posts now bear the 'Guests' signature. There are some other Italians here, though, for example MorgothSunshine.
And as for the Germans - Miaugion's German, isn't he?

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

The ideal would be to organize this meeting at a concert in Paris or London. (or somewhere central)
North Americans could do that in Montreal since there are lots Quebecois (between 10 and 15) on the Forum

I agree with such a meeting, but considering ELP and DT fans on one side and political differences on the other one, I would ask our friends from the States to leave the fire weapons at home.
These are still allowed:
It's going to be a funny meeting!!!

About the meeting, it wouldn't work because Newer Prog metal
fans are usually 15-25 and tr00000000000 proggies are like
40-50 and to tell the truth, daddies and sons don't really agree
on stuff.

So i suggest two meetings in each country: one for the young who like DT and prog metal, and that kind of cheesy stuffs and another for the real proggers, old or not.

Bit like Greece and the Olympics.......which are the ELP fans in you pic Mununkind? |
I don't know about the ELP fans, but the guy in the centre of the top painting must be Maani (cross and all ) and he loves Metropolis 2: Scenes from a Memory, so all the Teutonic Knights and their allies must be DT fans.
Wait a second, historically they lost that battle, and I'm a DT fan  .
And the bottom one was a draw, as far as I remember  .
