I have to say, I was quite surprised at the level of surprise and upset caused earlier this week, when after nearly 4 years on the forum, 'fandango' finally left the building..  ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

I always enjoyed corrupting them:
Trouserpress = Trousersnake
Golden Sprial = Golden Spaniel
Majestic Mayhem = Magic Mushroom
and so on...  ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

correction: he WAS the first person to jon the forums..
and it belies the fact that every subsequent person who attempted to be called 'dude' when joining PA were told: "Sorry, but that name has already been taken by some Wise-Ass Aussie... please try again..."..  ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

 Yes, and I seem to be stuck with it now. Imagine what would happen if one day I signed on as "Mike" or something like that  . Really, I was just waaaaay into King Crimson at the time, and of course, By-Tor is just pure awesome - "By-Tor, Knight of darkness, centurion of evil, eternal prince!"  Hmm, what are my favorite user nicks...? Actually, many of them are not around anymore: DarqDean (always liked this one) Ghost Rider Sinkadotentree (for mashing so many bands together and still having it sound good )Geck0 Chaco |

Technically, no. But to appear cool, yes!  P.S.: I do absolutely love Child In Time...unfortunately, the rest of Deep Purple leaves me pretty cold. P.S.#2: There's also a ricochet in Marillion's music. P.S. #3: There's also a Metal band called Ricochet. -------------

Some of my favorites... Sinkadotentree King By-Tor NaturalScience Geck0 That's all I can think of right now for some reason. I'd mention Movingpictures07, but I don't want to give him the illusion that I like anything about him. -------------

Your screenname is better than mine and you know it. Mine's generic. I do love it, but it's not the most creative name ever. I just kept it since I've used it for like 5 years now. -------------

Sinkadotentree (not because the bands smashed together - for example I don't like PT so much...) progressive (yes, this is me  ) avestin (somehow.. I'm not sure if it is because of his nice taste.. no it isn't (though he has great taste of music), jsut sounds good) Edit: I love myself so much that I just looked that last.fm top artists list under this text and thought how beautiful it is... brilliant artists and the listener has great taste! -------------

The Progtologist (my favourite of all the usernames with "prog" in it; mind you,I did think of calling myself something like Dr. Proggenstein) Cygnus X-2 Snow Dog King By-Tor (and I'm not even a Rush fan) Man Overboard The Pessimist Fandango Cacho Ricochet Atavachron (I love Allan Holdsworth; Star Trek is also cool) Frasse Reed Lover (from the old days) And of course... Moogtron III ; well, not really actually: it's just a name I thought of when I wanted to join the forum. It's alright but not amongst my favourites. |

Of course the user names of Jean and me are obvious; they refer to our hairstyle and our names ("Friederike" and "Jeanine"). But mine actually has a double meaning. "Bald" is German for "soon", and "Friede" is German for "peace" (usually "peace of mind" or just general peace; for "peace between countries" usually "Frieden" is used, but there is also the expression "Friede unter den Völkern", which means "peace among the peoples"). So it also means "SoonPeace".

I like it! And I think OLIVE MESS is also a stunning name
http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2173 - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2173
like http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/olivier_messiaen - Olivier Messiaen , a 20th century classical music composer whose works are often resembling avant-prog
I think all these three names are very nice! -------------

Good that you mention that. I never noticed that second meaning. Nice!
