Hi everybody!!!I'm Mario from Naples (Italy)....I'm 24 and I love Prog music!

My favourite bands are Dream Theater (first and only).......Pain of Salvation.......Rush and Marillion!!

But I also like all prog since '70 till now....Genesis, King Crimson, Van der graaf generator, Fates Warning, Threshold, enchant, Pfm, Banco (I love italian prog from '70...band like Quella vecchia locanda, Osanna, Le orme, Biglietto per l'inferno etc etc)

I hope I'll have some fun here........nice to meet you all

Hi Octamarium,

Welcome to the forum... we hope you enjoy it.

Do you like Mind Key?  I have Journey Of A Rough Diamond, and I think it's great (a bit like DT)! 

I ask, because I believe they are also from Napoli...

Thanks!!!

well.....I don't know if Mind Key are from Naples.....I've got their album and I like it so much!!

I think they've got something of early 90's Dream theater (Images and words era!!!!)......so they're not too original but they sound great!

I know for sure that Marco Sfogli, who plays guitar on the last James Labrie's solo album (Element of persuasion), is from Caserta (a city near napoli)....and I'm proud of this!!!

Thanks a lot for welcoming me!!!

I'm a die hard DT's fan.....I'm an Italian Dreamer (italian fan club).....well, the music behind Octavarium's lyrics? I think you've already said all...but now I've not the lyrics here in my hand....so....I'm not sure!

By the way...I love James's singing......I think he's one of the most powerful singers in the fu**ing world!!!!

And I approve you when you say that Metropolis Pt2 is better (not so far, but better) than I&W!!!!

yeah! labrie is one of my favorite singers, the second would be hansi kursh from blind guardian and demons and wizards. you should get some of their music if you havent yet. try nightfall at the middle earth album or night at the opera (blind guardian). i wish i could be in DT fan club but these things are too expensive for me im a die hard fan of DT too. they got me into prog

Welcome to the forum, be warned that some people around here seem to have it out for Dream Theater. Personally I'm a big fan but Rush is the truth.

but night at the... is so well crafted. full of cool orchestral sounds and hansis voacals are great there. under the ice chorus for instance. like rhapsody? if i lived in italy i would go to all of their shows..and so would my mate here

What could I say?? I don't like it

I like Rhapsody, but I'm not crazy for them!My cousin (here in this forum he is Bartvarium....he's copied my nick, damn) goes mad for their music!I like Power of the dragonflame and Symphony of...(the first)........the rest I think is merely a copy of themselves!!However I know that they have made more concerts out of Italy than inside (one date each tour...in Milan of course)

They're so different songs!Sincerely, I don't know which to choose....however I think that Octavarium is one of the most beautiful epics ever written (with Close to the edge and Supper's ready)!Change of season is a classic, but in this moment I prefer Octavarium!!
