Progressive Rock

Symphony X is an amazing band. Michael Romeo is awesome on Sea Of Lies.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Sea of Lies in an EXCELLENT song and 'Divine Wings..' is an excellent album. And, guess what? Romeo is an excellent guitarist, possibly the chubbiest guitarist I've evr seen.

They played the UK last year I think, Reap.

I would also like to say that joining them at the Maiden dates will be the greatest metal band the UK has produced since the NWOBHM...the fantastic DRAGONFORCE.

For more information, MP3s, videos and news on DRAGONFORCE, go to www.dragonforce.com

They'll probably play again in the winter. Most do.

HOORAY!!! Someone knows who Dragonforce are. Brilliant!

Best metal band Uk have produced since NWOBHM...that would be about 25 years!

That's a long time!!

[Soul Reaper]

hey, Shaun, what do you think about Italian Prog bands and Kraut Rock bands?

what about the rest of you, what do you think?

[Soul Reaper]

i'm listenign to Symphony X at the moment. Eyes of Medusa or something like that.

Awesome stuff! Underrated band.

[Soul Reaper]

Here's a question that seems to come around on the Prog Rock Archive forums.

James LaBrie (vocalist of DT after Chris Dominici) - love or hate?

what's your opinion?

Suprised you haven't noticed that I love them already. I advertise them at every oppurtunity, and I leave links every 5 minutes. Saw them back in October. You know that they sound PERFECT live? ZP can still hit the notes, Dave Mackintosh is still lightning fast on drums, and the guitarists are flash bastards who slide each others guitars! Also, my mate got up on stage and actually played Sam's guitar!!! They are the fucking best!!!!

As for italian prog bands-do you know Premiata Forneria Marconi (aka PFM, and with good reason)?

As for James Labrie, I don't own enough Dream Theatre albums to make a descision.

Do you have any Dragonforce album, Reap, or have you downloaded their stuff?
