I wanna be your friend man, feel free to bash The Mars Volta and stuff as much as you want, even if i turned into an ELP fan i wud still bash em cos i just dont care, and i like a challenge and some humour!

Yes i am loverly when someone winds me the wrong way!

I won't give modern prog a chance cos i've heard all i can take.& i'm afraid i'm not missing out on anything at all.You cannot be nice to me Frenchie when you've just blasted ELP & King crimson at the same time.Joking or not it's personal ok!

I don't go bashing any particular band at one time the whole new race of so called prog is really bad.The original early prog is absolutly everything to me,the style,lyrics,the raw production,limited instruments of the time,bizzare lyrics etc all fantastic,time & fashion completely destroyed this all,you could hear it through the years the aweful progression of styles which is ironic but i know...The musicians actually destroyed themselves following the fashion,be it keeping up with trends such as the punk revolution or record companies sticking the foot dowN,either way it was done & so was prog.These new artists have absolutly no idea,they can't & never will.

Well, ok then. I don't see why, I hear a great deal of Sabbath/ELP/Crimson/Beatles influence.

Please read my review of ELP, i gave it 4 stars, i would really love it if you read it. Also KC are one of my fave bands! I didnt even think i WAS bashing them

Frenchie whats this bit all inade in your review of ELP album regarding the finish of ''Lucky man''???????

 '''''''yet it has a stupid ending which sounds like you are being chased by an ambulance or something!''''''''

Do you actually know what's going off there?First portable synthesizer!'MINI MOOG' of which not many people had heard off,a fantastic show piece that was taken on by virtually every prog band to follow.To hear a 'MINI MOOG' solo on a rock records was truly fantastic especially in the fasion keith did it making use of the powerful Oscolators/filters the synth had on offer.Even though the big 'Moog modular system he used prior to this was technically superior but you just could'nt get the sound & easy accesability the potable had.So it's not a bloody ambulance it's an electronic display of the artist & his new machine.

So Reed, when your wife goes to give you a blow job, do you also think of me then??

Or does she not bother to do that anymore.. and thats why you think of me and BJs ??

Just wondering

Well listening to it now even for the first time, after having experienced years of synths, does not compare to being able to listen to it the first time, when you'd never heard a synth before. 

I thought the ending to Lucky Man when I first heard it, was the coolest thing I'd ever heard.  It sounded like a perfect ending to me for someone who had just died so violently... and I really love the three drum beats at the end....

BTW... that was a first run for Keith, never played the thing before.  He wanted to do it over a second time, but Greg said no, he liked it the way it was.  I can imagine that if Keith had been given a second go... that solo would of been about 5 times longer than the original.. so I think its perfect just the way it is also. (And I've heard Keith's longer version of it)

No,but I think about you during sex,it helps to delay things somewhat
