I have also read that Gabriel has said that The Lamb … was inspired by John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress. Still, since I have read both books, I feel that The Lamb … is much more like Divina Commedia, and maybe Gabriel wanted to hide it (that is, leave it open to the listener/reader). Personally I think The Lamb … is much more interesting and intriguing than The Pilgrim … However, if I compare Gabriel’s work to Dante’s, I would probably give the Italian poet the first prize (though Gabriel’s postmodern, semi-derridadaistic libretto deserves much more praise than it gets).

Thats for sure. I think people, generally, don´t realize how great the The Lamb... concept is. I mean, you can read it but still you won´t get all the references there...

Yeah, he even qoutes Genesis (with a twist, of course):

Turn fast – turn sour
Turn sweat – turn sour

(And they had a song called "Where the Sour Turns to Sweet" – that’s pretty elegant!)

Oops, Gabriel didn’t quote a song by Genesis, he made a reference. Sorry!

Yeah! I, fortunatally, had the chance to watch The Lambr... performed by the canadian Genesis tribute band The Musical Box. The guys are really good, if they go to Rhodes, you shouldnt miss the gig. They got the original costumes from the band, the illumination, everything is exactly like the originals concerts - even the slides projected!

I'd ask Steve Hackett why Tony Banks hates him so much.

Lars is Bruford's middle name.

I'd tell Mike Patton that Bungle sold out when they released California.  So many rock cliches.

My prog hero is Helmut Koellen.
          Now, he is dead, but if he were alive, i would ask him-"What is your favorite music to listen to, which does the most for you and that you find the most inspiring?"
