Based out of Jacksonville, Fl

Good to see another progger from the colonies - poor old Manatee has no one to talk to when us Europeans are all in bed

And welcome...

[Nicky007]

Keith is even a bit older.

Keith is hardly active these days, Mad 

Nicky.

Nicky.

True, but still he is, to my knowledge older.

Thanks. This is a cool forum, with alot of info floating around, lots of ideas. I found another prog band from Italy, sorta like PFM. Locanda delle Fate is pretty cool if you don't mind the Italian singing. On the mellower side, good keys, great arrangements. An acquired taste

So is Queen Beatrix 

Nicky.

So is Queen Beatrix 

Nicky.

Who? 

I only know Willem Alexander, who is definitely younger. 

On a side note: My brother's name is Willem and mine is Alexander. 

But this leads to nowhere.

Forgive me my lack of progbands-abbreviations but who or what is PFM? 

Pink Floyd Marillion?

You're making a fool of yourself in front of our new member, Nicky. Behave.

PFM is an Italian band. A very good one in fact. And very famous too.

[aswas]

actually. the cd was made in France in 1977, Sorry. I know it is bizarre, but a good band. This is the only cd by the band that I know of, and the actual title is so long, that its not worth writing down.

Ah, thank you for you prog-wisdom, Paco.

Chocolate Kings is excellent, to name but one, shame I've only got it on vinyl

[aswas]

yes its good. The first three features the ole tron and ELP synths, The three titles are

1Storia di un Minuto orig rec 1972 reissue 2000 gold cd

2.Per un Amico orig rec 1972 reissue 2001 gold cd

3 The World Became the World - Blue cover in English Green cover in Italian 1974

[maddox]

I understand, thanks to Steve's link, that the lyrics are in English. The title tracks are not?

[aswas]

It all depends. You can get the lyrics. Depending on which version you have of the 3 cds. Also, the live cds they have recorded over the years are sung with a mixture of Italian and English versions in the same concert performance.

[maddox]

Maybe i should rephrase my question:

Are the songs sung in English on the studio albums or is it the same like with Kaipa?
They used to sing only in Swedish but later on when they re-united they started to sing, thanks to Roine Stolt btw, in English.

[aswas]

sorry that was dumb of me. All three are sung in Italian. However, the 3rd cd I mentioned  World Became the World was recorded both ways, an English version and an Italian version. I have both. It's a trip. Same music, 2 languages

[maddox]

sorry that was dumb of me.

No worries. 

Thanks for the info. 

[Nicky007]

But this leads to nowhere. 

Not unless Willem and Alexander can agree to get their act together again and go the same way 

Nicky.

[Manatee]

You're making a fool of yourself in front of our new member, Nicky. Behave.

You didn't really think we could hide him, did you?

[PH]

You didn't really think we could hide him, did you?

No, but we can put a bag over his head anyway, it would make for a much more pleasant sight.

[Manatee]

No, but we can put a bag over his head anyway, it would make for a much more pleasant sight.

Splendid idea.  Is anyone here good at drawing?  If someone could draw Keira Knightley's face on the bag, Steve would be in nirvana.

[Steve Jones]

Steve would be in nirvana.

I'll pass on that, if it's OK with you.  I don't care for grunge as much as I once did, and I seem to remember the last guy had his head blown off

[Nicky007]

You didn't really think we could hide him, did you?

Cop is an excellent place to hide:  Aint no prog, so there aint no prog police either 

I seem to remember the last guy had his head blown off

Kurt? - or Dimebag ?



Nicky.

[PH]

Nicky Nicky Nicky...

Nirvana was a grunge band.
Kurt Cobain killed himself.

That's why Steve doesn't want to be in Nirvana.
