Whoa Oliverstoned what a cracking idea !!! It could be combined with a big record fair as well and have listening posts for people to check out new stuff and reccommendations!! Maybe there should be a separate section for Dreamtheatre fans though eh? ------------- "The Beautiful Ally Of Your Own Gravediggers" www.gloryscene.co.uk |

I don't know about the ELP fans, but the guy in the centre of the top painting must be Maani (cross and all Wait a second, historically they lost that battle, and I'm a DT fan And the bottom one was a draw, as far as I remember

HEH, I actually like both Elp and Dt but whatever DT is better,
so what, hardcore Elp fans now 
About the meeting, it wouldn't work because Newer Prog metal fans are usually 15-25 and tr00000000000 proggies are like 40-50 and to tell the truth, daddies and sons don't really agree on stuff. |
Posted By: oliverstoned
Date Posted: May 20 2005 at 07:32
So i suggest two meetings in each country: one for the young who like DT and prog metal, and that kind of cheesy stuffs and another for the real proggers, old or not. |

I agree with such a meeting, but considering ELP and DT fans on one side and political differences on the other one, I would ask our friends from the States to leave the fire weapons at home. These are still allowed:
It's going to be a funny meeting!!! |

The ideal would be to organize this meeting at a concert in Paris or London. (or somewhere central) North Americans could do that in Montreal since there are lots Quebecois (between 10 and 15) on the Forum ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

There are at least two germans : Dieter Fischer who has his nickname Hdfsch (or something like that) and Diddy who also write reviews. As for Italians , this BELVA guy just got the boot if we can believe Manunkind but there is also Lethe who writes reviews. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Yes, BELVA's no more, you'll find that his posts now bear the 'Guests' signature. There are some other Italians here, though, for example MorgothSunshine.

Yes, it's a regular PARADISE at the non-prog mental convention, with all and sundry getting along swimmingly!
Meanwhile, in the sequestered Dream Theater and metal section, Maani and the Unfallen Collaborators have descended to mete out punishment, and restore order:

Nope, sorry, still not there In the meantime, however, having enlisted the help of Hans Memling, the prog metal community turns the tables on its naysayers

Great idea! Lets start putting some ideas together. For the US, I would suggest somewhere in the midwest, like... Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri... something like that. If it were to happen, I think it should happen near the end of the summer, you know, sometime in August. If we were seriously going to do this, we'd have to get a committee together to organize it, and it would require some serious hors of organizing. We need to advertise, rent out some sort of venue, raise money for the endeavor, and maybe try to get some home-grown acts together to play. I would be more than happy to lead such a committee. Clearly, if we we're going to organize such an event, we'd need to reach out to the prog community as a whole... you know, get other prog websites and record labels involved. If anybody has any ideas, contact me at [email protected]. ------------- I bleed coffee. When I don't drink coffee, my veins run dry, and I shrivel up and die. "Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso?

Anywhere between Amsterdam and Paris would suit me fine , this should acomodate most western Europeans , however on Finnish friends might just feel left out!! As for our Slavian friends how does Prague feel? as for the new World I would propose Montreal or Toronto as there are many eastern central canadians on this site as well as a few atlantic US citizens. Then Lima, Peru for our Latin America friends and Singapour for the Far East.
