I have a DI globals (if we make it ) tournament the day they're in NY thankfully there's an Albany date 2 days before

You know actually after studying your signature, I have to say you are not an elitist at all; you seem to have a great variety of taste within the prog genre. That's great!

AND SINCE WHEN IS PROG ROCK NOT ABOUT SHOWING OFF

WHERE THE HELL HAVE I BEEN FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS?

The sound effects were used perfectly and the vocalist did an amazing classical solo (it was a slap guitar sort of technique... there's a name for it but I forget). Their music wasn't particularly great, but the musicianship was jaw-dropping. At least I hope that's the same band we're all talking about here and not 3. Odd how those two bands ended up in the same subgenre of prog (crossover). It makes things so confusing!

  I saw these guys, (Three), open for Porcupine Tree last November. They did sound awesome on stage. However, we couldn't here the vocals, because we were right up against the stage.  Loved the slap playing method. I though that was pretty original and hadn't seen it before.
   So after the show, my friend buys their latest CD. I was bummed, because I didn't bring enough money to buy a copy for myself, and he couldn't loan me any. We even shook hands with the band, and told them we enjoyed the show, and so on.
  We threw the CD in the player on the way home, and couldn't believe our ears! The singer, which we couldn't hear in concert, sounded like one of those pseudo boy band singers. It was some kind of "girly" voice. It was awful! We got have way through the CD and we couldn't take it anymore.
  You'd be surprised how far a CD will fly like a frisbee, when flung out of a car tooling down the freeway. 

^^ no, they were always pussys

It will feature an all-star lineup of Portnoy on drums, Per Wiberg on keys, Tommy Rogers and Dusty Waring from BtBaM for vocals and guitar, and finally Joe Stote and Daniel Grimsland from THREE providing percussion & additional keys, and bass. Mike Portnoy decided to name the band PROGNATION because, very simply, they plan on converting people into PROG fans by selling cds and touring the NATION, and other NATIONs as well. In fact, the conversions have already begun all across South America, and the Australia/Japan leg tour is halfway complete.

That's a bit odd, I'm hearing two stories at once now. Maybe their both true
