To discover the meaning of my nickname, you have to see the movie called "Payback", with Mel Gibson starring as the main character (see avatar).

This one is difficult for me.

I could say my nickname came from the beautiful song carpet crawler, where I totally dug in and under. But no....

I already have imagined and posted in the past that my nickname came from the event that I dragged Dream Theaters Subaru out of the mud, and they where shouting "Pull me Unde"!"and I shouted bag "You should make a song named like that". But no....

I could say my nickname is a rebelious one indicating pop is superfacial and prog is going deeper than that. But no...

I could say I am a great dictator with a big thumb putting everyone there....under. But no...

I could say I a just a grey mouse hiding and being put down under. But ...hope not...

The truth is it is just a preposition. But is it just a preposition? Or is it more than that and is it a challenging mystery what is behind this great word, which gives rise to emotions as darkness and sadness but also to relieve, escape and sacrificiation.
So much questions with a preposition and you, yourself, are in full control to create your sitaution around one.

Well, I almost covinced myself of the beauty of Under.

That was cool!

I'm glad we have brainwashed you successfully, here at the PA forum.

One fine day, in the late '60's / early '70's  a prehistoric sampler and an analog synth went out for a walk in a park. He saw her, and she fancied him. Mr. Moog and miss Mellotron married, and they got a child, and that child got a child, and that child got a child. The latter was being called Moogtron III, because he was the 3rd generation Moogtron.

And they all lived happily everafter...

Well, Ed the Dead is my little Maiden Tribute... (Eddie - Maiden's 7th Member [7th Son?] - who is a happy undead band mascot!) That band actually opened the gates of real music 2 me... And Me thinks it just sounds cool also
