 Topic: Heya Prog Nerds!!
Posted: May 27 2005 at 01:22 |

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth (yeah, right) and taste (he-he)...
Even though I've been visiting this site for many months now, I've
never taken the time to register and take an active part in my
proguverse (thats Progressive Universe). I'm Nipsey and I'm from the
Washington DC area in the good old US of A. My love for progressive
rock began at age 9 when I heard Natural Science by Rush at a friend's
house. "What was this incredible music?", I wondered. It
had lots of instrumental 'fiddly bits' that I had never heard before.
Since that day I have sought out prog rock in every form, be it art
rock, RIO, fusion, Canterbury, symphonic, etc.. Heck, I even became a
gluttonous fan of bebop jazz, Miles, Trane, Mingus... So anyhoo, I've
been spying on your forums and as I have the time (life takes a bite,
don't it?), I will be commenting, editorializing, B*$#@ing, and
generally making a pest of myself. He-he.
Favorite prog bands:
Genesis (Gabriel), Marillion (Fish), GG (If you have to ask, then you
don't know), Rush (the first band I EVER saw live), Tull, Caravan,
Porcupine Tree, Transatlantic, etc...
Currently listening to:
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Wigwam - Fairyport
Locanda Delle Fate - Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Piu (man am I gettin' into this Italian stuff)
Zappa - 200 Motels
Nektar - Recycled (saw these guys live recently...awesome)

Almost! His glasses react to fear or something that'll scare the wearer or something though!
Otherwise its 100% my quote! Although I have quoted individual words that hve been used before!

maybe you should try to to use words that have never been used before; something like "misaguthroatalated", that would make your posts very, very special. otherwise you're right, your a legend of the lexicon.

To Spectral:
I saw Caravan open for Nektar at the Birchmere in Arlington VA, Caravan
ruled, and Nektar played all their hits (such as they are) from
Recycled, Remember The Future, and Tab in the Ocean. Sounded great. As
far as as which original members were in the band I dont know. Great
show all around. I'm afraid I had too many Jagermeisters to remember
what songs were played specifically, but I had a great time.

And by the way...we are all nerds. Prog rock is not a hip mans game. At least not since 1969.

The funny thing is the first band I ever played in, at age 12 (bass
guitar), actually covered the entire Fountain of Lamneth. If you can
picture a band full of prepubescent boys covering Rush epics, then you
can imagine how funny it was.

Oh and BTW, totally off topic, I saw the Flower Kings last night for
the first time. Small crowd, maybe 150 people, but the band put on a
hell of a show. Played for 2 and a half hours and actually made me weep
(Stardust We Are). Incredible.
