I'm sick and tired of repeating myself on this forum when is someone going to come up with an original thread? Seriously. At least nobody has started another Mariah thread. To put it bluntly, I am starting to get bored with this site.

Hi all!

I am new to the board. I am a drummer in a Prog band called Prole. We are currently recording our first CD, a concept album. We have been working on it for about a year and a half, and it should be out in Early Feb. I also played drums on the first Hermetic Science Album.

Greetings from Tennessee!

Michael

Shh! You'll scare him away, you candlelight message board poster! When I joined, I was real uncomfortable, and someone like you could put me off pretty easily. Just remember this guy isn't familiar with everyone here yet.

'specially since it's a guy from Tennessee...the one place in the world (besides the Mideast, Africa, and various places like Siberia and Pittsburg) that's worse off than Oklahoma in terms of prog (then again, maybe not. they DO have Nashville, music capital of the world...or maybe that's just bluegrass and Elvis. who knows, i've never been there meself...)

welcome!

welcome!

Thanks!

Actually you guys are wrong on a bunch of accounts. Nashville has a lot going on- Glass Hammer, Neal Morse, Spocks Beard and a few others are in Nashville, which is about 20 minutes from where I live.

I'm not from here. I am originally from Cincinnati, I am just down her pursuing my PhD in English from MTSU--and playing prog music of course!

Thanks for the welcome,

Michael

I played in a band.I'm a drummer.We have been drinking a lot and then playing all the night.I don't know what the hell we were playing-we loved the sound heavy rock like black Sabbath.It was nothing serious but we were enjoying very much.

I'm playing bass in a progband called Legacy. They are playing together for over ten years now, but I'm just in for one and a half. Our singer joined us this year.

If you like to listen to some stuff (actually only one of three songs avaiable is with me and our new singe) just go here:

What is it about proggers and the bass guitar? Most instrumentalists on here are bassists. Let's see if I can figure out why:

Drummers are usually not that bright (cliche joke), and prog is "intelligent" music, so prog drummers are less likely; guitarists are most often egotistical and bossy, and prog music has all instruments work together, so overinflated egos aren't welcome; keyboardists...well, personally I'm surprised most proggers aren't keyboardists...it seems like the type of rock instrument proggers WOULD play, but...; and the bass, dull and monotonous in other types of music...But! In prog, it is allowed to take up the front and solo and be as complex as can be! Plus it's fairly easy to learn. That must be why.

i play the keys in a ska band called acquired taste ( www.acquiredtaste.tk ). so far we don't have much of a prog taste, but i can tell you that we actually have some depth in our songs. i think we only have one saong that has the same tempo, and/or chord pattern all the way through. i would say our "progiest" sounding song is called funk-o-dub as it contains 3 very different parts, but still carry the same melody. it has the first ska, off-beat part, along with a swing tempo as the chorus, after 3 lines of verse chorus, ect. it goes into a full on swing instrumental part. then we're ending it with a funk part. we also have a song that would apeal to the punk rockers, has a juicy hardcore breakdown, and a circle-pit, drum line at the end. yyyyup. hope to blend ska with prog, or atleast have ska with prog elements.

It says on the site your playing with Immaculate Machine, where are you from? I saw Immaculate Machine... I'm in Sydney Ns, where r u?
