Simple: I didn't went to the Ayreonauts meeting.

Me neither...
But I didn't miss it 'cuz I was with my lovely girl! It was her birthday last saturday.

NP  Pepper's Ghost

A slower grower than Contagion, but just as great 

Despite the tight budget, Pepper has been produced perfectly, a rich sound experience too.

Beginning to understand why A haven't broken through. To get hooked onto this sorta music you really have to have a sixth sense that tells you that this is super stuff (or been born with a prog spoon in your mouth)

Which is not very comfortable for the mother.

Big Country - The Seer

[Nicky007]

Which is not very comfortable for the mother. 

Depends on which angle it has on the way out. I don't know how much you know bout anatomy, Maddox 


NP  Pepper (still)

Can't get rid of it ...... Well, guess I'll have to. Mom's comin in a moment, and she can't distinguish between Arena and Marilyn Manson 

Man, John can shred as wild as Master JP and Stevai (on The Shattered Room - hm, where have I seen that name other than Pepper?  )

"Set them free" - one of the greatest moments in rock!!!

Ian sounds like someone just poured a bottle of amphetamines down his thoat at that point

I don't know how much you know bout anatomy, Maddox 

Well, my wife is an obstetrician so even i pick up things now and then.   

[Nicky007]

Really? An obstretician, Maddox?

Nicky.

[maddox]

@Nicky: Yes, she is.

You have a very broad taste, Maddox. Great!

Today:

Neal Morse - One
I played the first song to a friend at school and he liked it! I lend him the cd so I hope another proggy will join us soon!

And in the train back to home I played Neal Morse - ?.

I hope Neal won't break his rhythm and will come with a new album in 2008!

Despite the fact that Mr. Axl R. is/was a rather unusual type of person (which is a decent description  ) G'nR has written some amazing stuff. In fact i consider Use Your Illusion pt I & II as albums that are a Must-Have. In my opinion, without these two albums, your CD collection isn't complete. 

NP> Tomorrow's Eve - The Eve Suite

   

[Nicky007]

No, Maddox, now you're letting your goodness run off with you. G'n'R is bread and butter rock, very basic, classic rock. What makes it interesting for some is that you got this crazy guy doin his antics, but that doesn't enrapture me. If I want some rock with a good rhythm and drive, and some great shredding, I'll go for Steve Vai or Vanden Plas anytime - a lot more intelligence there.

Nicky.

[PH]

What are you playing now Nicky?

I'm playing my keyboard right now.
Well... not right now, 'cuz I'm typing now, but...


-Paco

[Nicky007]

I'm playing Guns'n'Roses    no, I'm listening to The Visitor. Great album, but I must say that after several spins of Pepper and Contagion, Visitor doesn't grip me as much as the other two. Also, Paul Wrightson is an excellent singer, but Rob is simply so unbelievably good, so fully present at every moment, gives every syllable a special depth, that guy was a treasure for Clive & Co. - mmmmmmmm (although I know that you like Clive's singing better  )

Arena simply don't cease overwhelming me with their creativity and depth. I've been through a lot of written stuff of all sorts through these many years of my life, but Clive's lyrics, they really get my mind spinning. I played The Butterfly Man several times, and my mind went off in all directions - what's that guy up to? Crazy, fun, and I would even say edifying - and I think even my Christian sentiments are deepened.

People tell me that I'm still very much a child, but what, should I at 52 sit and gape at endless series of detective stuff and tennis matches on TV, and buy cars and boats and keep on extending my house? Let me have good prog and a cold beer anytime - btw I'm just enjoying a marsh special: a cold Heineken - mmmmmmmmmm.

Nicky.

[The Butterfly Man]

...I played The Butterfly Man several times...

What!?!? You played me??? ....................

NP: Arena - The Butterfly Man (yeah actually I really do, believe it or not ...)

Tom

[Nicky007]

What!?!? You played me???

Tom. I hope you're nicer than Clive's BM. What actually made you choose this as your alias? Did you know at that time how mean and evil the real BM was?

But I can follow you in that the song is a killer.

Nicky.

Kino - Picture - 02 - Letting Go

F'in awesome album, it still keeps getting better and better for me!

[Nicky007]

OK, John, I'll give it a spin too now.

Bupie, what sorta woman have you run into? You'v become speechless too.

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

NP  Steve Vai:  Fire Garden

A masterpiece. I think that there are a lot of roomies who haven't yet discovered this fabulous music.

Nicky.

[PH]

I got to listen to the new Porcupine Tree song "Nil Recurring".
Very good!
I hope Porcupine Tree will release another special edition of Fear Of A Blank Planet with the songs of the mini album with it, because I hate buying singles, EPs etc etc...

Hey Wicky Nicky, don't worry : she only forbids me to listen to prog-rock (and especially DT), to watch TV (and especially sports) and to be late (even for one minute). But she hasn't banned forums discussions so far although she finds it very childish, of course  ...

NP - Guns N' Roses - Estranged   As good as any prog metal ballad, no ? Just telling that for the pleasure of controversy 

When do we drink this beer ? We have a local one, called Markus, quite good and giving you all choices : blonde, brune, blanche ou ambrée 

[Nicky007]

... blonde, brune, blanche ou ambrée 

That is very French, Bupie   

... she only forbids me to listen to prog-rock (and especially DT), to watch TV (and especially sports) and to be late (even for one minute).

If you give her a kiss and tell her she's the most wonderful woman on earth, she'll let you do anythin. "Woman, thy name is vanity!"


> NP - Guns N' Roses - Estranged   As good as any prog metal ballad?  No, ...

(Just changed the order of the ? and ,)

[Nicky007]

NP  Steve Vai:  Warm Regards  (on Fire Garden)

Better than Arena! Just to get you there.

"Remember: Life is good!"
