"A Canterbury Tale" Darksideof Collage Appr.

 

Thank you Abel. You know what they say, it is through laughter that you sweeten the bitter life.

 

But seriously now, be keen my friend. Me and my brother were raised on progressive rock, blues and classical music and out of the blue he begun to listen to gangsta rap and melodic hip hop (don't ask me . . .  ). Serously! One day he was like "F**k this sh*t, imma gangsta nao niggas". The worst of it is that the quote is completelly 100% true.

 

He tonned down his attitude a nowadays, but still he resigned all his prog raising (if there is such a thing).

 

But anyway, Pink Floyd is a great start. It is a band you can actually get behind because they were successfull throughout their career, unlike some other prog bands *cough* GENESIS *cough* and they have such a widespread influence that is hard not to get involved with prog rock or prob metal when you have a pink floyd background. Believe it or not I only decided DT was a good thing after listening to Octavarium. Now DT is my favorite band ever (second favorite actually , but PF is already gone so i guess they don't count that much anymore).

 

Best of luck and the kinddest of regards from down south,

WOW CCVP WOW!

that is defiantly the worst of the worst to see a family member getting gangster Rap. when he or she was't raised or part of that culture and even understand it. I am glad he calm down!

I personally can relate to that big time. i have been in the USA since the age of 18 ( 1988) when Gangster Rap was become pretty big and watching my youngest sister getting into that was quiet disturbing and heart breaking of anger and frustration. At least  my sister maybe have an excuse because she grew up here in New York where part of Gangster rap was born. I came to the USA when I was 16. I stayed for 6 months then I return when I was 18 when USA had became my home for 21 long years. I can proudly say that I never got into rap or hip hop. not because it was a black thing and I am closer to be a black man than a white man, but basically the whole thing behind it. The whole f**king attire toward your friends society and family. My sister wasn't smart enough to see that. When she realized it.  it was too late. She right now paying the consequences and  I am more that 100 percent sure that rap has a lot to do with it. ( specially Gangster rap) . I always told her about her friends and the music listen to but all she did was criticize the weird sh*t I listen to. It has been 15  years later now and I am glad that my sister grew out of it and matured, but her past of the gangster  mentally still get resurrected here and there. she always thinks that with violence or profanity she can express herself ,but only it does harm to her. She still can't understand why I still  like this white music as she calls it all these years later.

About what you said about Pink Floyd yeah my daughter likes Another break in the wall and believe or not she likes Pink Floyd' Barrett song like Bike and Arnold Layne. She says that those tunes are very funny!

I think she likes the childlike kind of songs that Barrett made.

you know what's  funny also believe or not I didn't think DT was a good thing until I heard Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory I liked some songs from Awaken, but when I saw Scene on DVD I was amazed. Now DT and PT are my favorite of today's Prog . PT because they sounds so much like PF. DT mmm Not many to choose!

Thank you brother from Brazil! 

hasta luego amigo!

 

You DO know my mothertongue is Portuguese, right? Hahahahahahahaha

 

BTW, are you of latin descent? Porque se eres podemos hablar en español aqui, no hay ningún problema, sabes? (hay algunas tonterias y unas estúpidas reglas sobre lenguas, mas hay siempre la revolución  )

 

Let me about I could not believe it! and that is why I reply give him so much praises and f**king excited!!

thanks!!!

 

I wonder why those guys speak spanish. . . . . Lemme see: 5 countries speak portuguese, totaling 240 million speakers, but 1 country alone holds 85% of the speakers. Over half a billion people speak spanish in most countries in the Americas, and parts of Africa and Asia.

 

I can speak them both anyway (and if I couldn't the difference is as much as american english and irish english, or not. . . ), so no damage done. So, where are you from anyway, since you came to the US in your teens?

I am from a country That I can Count with my fingers the Prog fans and I think I know them all.

The Dominican Republic.

Well There is one band that they call themselves a Progressive Metal Band :

 

they aren't bad and I don't like the vocals, but I have never seen them live.

 

 

 true!!!!!..!  well there are few Dominican  Death Metal bands.
