Hehe, I like your "please"... but no I won't, because I think he was thinking of the cinema reference I mentioned and furthermore I prefer to think it was not a matter of disrespect and further furthermore I don't want to become an intermediary in your "couples disputes"... Tongue
Exactly! I was thinking of the cinema reference, and in that regard, the term "spaghetti prog" is no more disrespectful than spaghetti western, or indeed Krautrock. The only person who seems to be offended here is Cristi. Smile

They started out as a proggy goth metal band. THey should've called themselves The Gathering of Ghouls os something. You know how it is. Some things just don't appeal to us for whatever reason. That's the case with this one.

they actually started as a death-doom band. The Gathering sounded ominous somehow.

^ none of those terms are offensive really. Spaghetti and kraut were used to differentiate regions of the world by the comparisons to their local cuisine. Even if meant to be derogatory, Germans and Italians saw the humor in it and embraced it otherwise those terms never would have stuck around.

I'm not offended, that's an exaggeration, but I don't want to get a silly joke when I'm asking a question either.

I thought Supper's Ready WERE a Genesis tribute band. Smile

I agree with this, and the tech death band Obscura is my prime suspect. I feel doing that not only diminishes your band but it's a tacky attempt at riding coat tails. None of those bands are ever unique anyway, lol.

Also, FRUMPY is one of the worst words in the English language to describe someone or something; that word takes the f**king CAKE (good band name!).

The Samurai of Prog is really one of the worst names I can think of, and for quite some time it put me off from listening to their music, but when I did i have to admit that they are quite good at making retro-symphonic Prog.

Bands should just avoid at any cost putting 'prog' or 'progressive' in their name... at least, it would not make me listen to them.
