Nevermore

[funkster]

I am just listening to Dreaming neon black for the first time which is a challenging , heavy and conceptually interesting album.

What other Nevermore albums should i check out ?

[Nicky007]

All of'm, Funky, except the first (self-titled), initially, as the guys weren't fully revved up then; they still sounded very much like Sanctuary. But already the second studio album The Politics of Ecstasy is a progmetal classic 

But OK, my fave Nevermore album is This Godless Endeavor - whew !

And get Jeff Loomis' Zero Order Phase too, to my mind by far the best metal guitar instrumental album 

I think now also Tom can second me on that.

Nevermore are one of my top fave bands, as you probably know. I'v written a lot about'm in the Room, which you can seek up, if you gain interest in Nevermore.

I shall nevermore write that much about'm in the Room

I like Zero Order Phase very much, but it's not my favourite metal guitar instrumental album, that's honor belongs to John Petrucci's Suspended Animation. But maybe I'm just being a fanboy...

Nevermore are one of my top fave bands

I didn't know!

Tommy boy.

Well, understandable, JP and JL are my two fave guitarists 

Give ZOP a few more spins: After about five spins it becomes severely addictive 

And for a guitarist like myself, very humbling. I'm a pretty capable metal guitarist, but when I hear the stuff that the two J's do, man 

I didn't know!

Until now I only have the Obsedian Conspiracy which I, have to be honest , really like.

Proggy, thrashy, metally, musically....

[Nicky007]

... only ...

You know, Mad, there's a solution to that, in fact several: I don't know whether you'v considered it, but you could somehow obtain further Nevermore albums, either buy'm, borrow'm from the library, or listen to'm on YouTube 

But right, Obsidian is another great album from a great group

I somehow did fill some gaps on the yet-to-buy/obtain-list.

No worries.

[Nicky007]

No worries.

Hm, I somehow know that phenomena 

I think I'l apply to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to donate cd's to needy proggies

I have that somewhere from one of your previous recommendations so will have to dig it out tonight.

Thanks for everyone's great advice and comments

Listening to it now Mad and bloody hell - it rocks a big one 

[maddox]

Listening to it now, at six a.m. in the morning?

LOL. .

If I didn't know better, than I'd say that you live alone.

[Nicky007]

If I didn't know better, than I'd say that you live alone.

If you'r part of The Obsidian Conspiracy, then you find places where you'r undisturbed 

Great that so many Roomies are getting into this fabulous group 

But please guys, be a bit more careful with your spelling, we don't exactly need to support people's prejudice that metalheads are illiterate 

The correct spelling is: The Obsidian Conspiracy.

You can't become a full member before you can spell it ... then it will put a spell on you

Yay me.

I normally wake at about 4.30 to 5ish and i have a bit of me time to listen to music , have a cup of tea etc until 6.30 when i start waking the family up and start to get ready for the day ahead.

Sad i know 

Bloody good album though   

[Nicky007]

Sad i know 

Funky, what's sad about waking, drinking tea, and listening to good music ?  That's about the best I can think of - ok there are two things that are even better 

Be sad the day you don't wake up, or someone's put strychnine into your tea, or somebody's stolen your Obsidian cd and put a Lady Gaga cd there instead

AAAHHHHH

Or the killers eh Nicky 

[Nicky007]

Or the killers eh Nicky 

Yeah 

I like to know what's goin on in mainstream, and listen in a bit now and then ... but I then I cut straight thru all the mediocre and go ruthlessly for the supreme: all my pantheon stuff + some more 

Nicky.

What's wrong with The Killers? It's actually quite nice to listen to stuff that isn't full of endless solo-sections and lyrics about dragons from time to time.

It will be interesting to see where this thread is going. Will it get back on track and just focus on Nevermore, or will the bashing of mainstream music continue? Let's find out after the break....

On tour with Symphony X next year

Mmm, two dream groups 

I'l have to get a job before that ..... 

Btw Funky, how are you with SyX. Just heard Paradise Lost again the other day. Not as catchy as V, but it's rich with hidden treasures that are waitin to be worked out by the listener 

But OK, I'm diverging again 

Well, I don't have any problems talkin bout Nevermore and Loomis

Liking the x mate , especially V

Just so much to listen to at the moment - Kamelot , Nevermore , Symphony X , Shadow Gallery , Dead can dance etc etc and not enough time 

[Nicky007]

Dead can dance

Interesting, Funky, I have Lisa Gerrard and Pieter Bourke's Duality, which I like very much. Fantastic unusual soundscapes 

What are Dead Can Dance like ?  Guess you should post the answer in the NP thread, to save Tom from getting a heart attack

Nevermore are co headling with Symphony X next year.
