The first thing that came to mind was Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Especially if you can show video of Nils Frykdahl to complement the audio. I was told by a reputable source (the late Progeezer) that...

The first thing that came to mind was Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Especially if you can show video of Nils Frykdahl to complement the audio. I was told by a reputable source (the late Progeezer) that...
I'm a deist, though admittedly I possess an agnostic streak a mile wide, and there are quite a few sentiments that I've heard/read from atheists throughout this living nightmare that strike the right...
Have their been better drum solos prior, NO...perhaps unless Moon the Loon had one that I'm unaware of. To my recollection (...and remember, my patriarch was very much immersed in the music scene...
I couldn't agree more. Admittedly, though, both My Arms, Your Hearse and Heritage get fewer spins than the other 11. I very much prefer clean vocals. That being said, Blackwater Park is full of...
Richie Blackmood in Blackmore's Night. Oh, the things we do for :heart. (And I tend not to turn up my nose that much at renaissance faire.) Of course, if Candace Night told me to jump in a lake, I'd...
I'll go on record as stating that Neil was possibly/probably the most talented rock musician I've ever heard. He also came across in interviews like one of the most humble people on the planet.
In...
The reason Sing Me Away wasn't a hit was probably because MTV didn't play the video. Don't ask me why, but that was the only Night Ranger video, at least as far as the first three albums are...
I've never actually been to one of these (days), but would go in a heartbeat. (pun intended)
I am not familiar whatsoever with Russian Circles other than hearing/reading their name in multiple places. While I am not by any means an aficionado of the other two bands, Mike Patton and Serj...
DT are one of my all time favorite bands, and John Myung being at times barely audible is almost insufferable. It's almost as if someone should remind whoever's at the mixing desk that he went to...
I couldn't agree more. The elephant in the room has always been James LaBrie's voice. I won't beat a dead horse. I personally think that if you're a talented and creative enough band, vocals...
Pink Floyd- Animals
Symphony X- V-The New Mythology Suite
Yeah, Joey (and to a lesser extent Paul Gray and Corey Taylor) were always the draw with them, IMHO. Stellar drummer and apparently all-around decent guy. Like I posted in the Dusty Hill thread, this...
I haven't listened to much of them in ages, but I remember never wanting to switch/turn them off as a child. A very good player and seemingly decent human being is taken from us again!:mad:( This is...
Not too familiar with their output, but I do know that Kurt Vanderhoof (sp?) who created quasi-prog and/or melodic metal with Presto Ballet was in their ranks for some time. By all accounts, Mike...
Sounds somewhat in the neighborhood of what I expected. As much as I dig the classics and the newer (Brave New World and onwards) material, to my ears, this track is a decent blending of both. Their...
You will be missed, good sir. Played Cheyenne Anthem today. RIP Robby
abigail's ghost- Black Plastic Sun
River- Opeth
Off the top of my head:
Porcupine Tree- Anesthetize
Dream Theater- Metropolis 2000: Scenes From New York and/or Score
Opeth- Garden of the Titans: Live at Red Rocks
Within Temptation- Black...
I'm about as technologically inept as a monk or an Amishman (just one of many things inherited from him), but I can tell you that it will be held at Gunderson Funeral Home West,
7435 University...
I initially posted that the memorial service would be held on Friday, July 9. In actuality, it will be taking place on Thursday, July 8. My sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have...
I posted this information on Facebook, but since I am not 'friends' with most/almost all of you, I thought I should post it here, as. My dad's visitation will be on Thursday, July 8 from...
My friends, I apologize for being the damper on multiple weekends, but my father, a man many of us have come to love, passed away in his sleep today. (I got the call from my older brother at work)....
I just conversed briefly with my older brother, Mike (our dad's eldest), and our beloved Geezer was quite detached and more than a little incoherent when he visited him on Tuesday. (Geez' would...
I apologize in advance if this news puts a damper on anyone's weekend. I just received word that my dad is being transferred to a different assisted living facility here in Wisconsin, as his health...
I had the chance to catch them live several years ago with Marco. Tremendous live act. Nightwish's lyrics admittedly may come across as slightly pedestrian, but they (especially Tuomas Holopainen and...
Mine's the same way. Downright strange.:huh
...all-time favorite band (PT)...but what direction might something like this take. While I enjoy most of both To the Bone and The Future Bites, and I'm definitely a fan of some good sounding 'low...
They're a top ten all-time favorite band of mine. While Brave is my personal favorite of theirs and one of my top albums from anyone ever, Seasons End certainly has a charm all its own....
I must preface what I'm about to say with the fact that I appreciate most/almost all of marillion's catalogue, FEAR included. But I just listened to the Steven Wilson remix/master of Brave, and I'll...
Thanks immeasurably to all of you for such thoughtful, heartwarming, and humorous (a personal thank you to WHORG for the slideshowX)). I'll make every effort to not be so infrequent around these...
Hello again, my friends. I started a thread on the main page regarding my dad's current status. Mods (Duncan, Sean), please feel free to move that thread to the OT forum.
***MODS***(Duncan, Sean), please feel free to move/remove this thread.
I apologize that this news may put a damper on some folks summers, but I felt that I shouldn't delay informing you guys, his...
And that is where *I* and several others have a problem. If I defend wearing a mask, I'm called a liberal. When I argue for erring on the side of caution, I'm called a liberal wuss. There are many...
Thanks again, everyone.:) I will most definitely tell him that so many of you fine folks hold him in such high regard.
Thanks for the kind sentiments, everyone! I will do my best to post updates if and when much of anything changes for the "geriatric anomaly", as he's referred to himself. You may very well 'see' more...
He apparently has Netflix, but no cellphone or laptop access right now. I have multiple siblings who reside nearby, and the facility where he lives have just begun to allow visitors. Evidently, they...
Hello, my friends in prog. This is Steve's (progeezer's) son, Peter. I've been away far too long.
I told Duncan I would attempt to keep this post short-winded.
My old man is in an assisted living...
Sounds intriguing. I need to delve deeper into their latter-day albums. I own and love Blackwater Park, Ghost Reveries, and Watershed. However, they're the only band I listen to on a regular basis...
They're one of my all-time favorite bands and The Seventh House is one of their best (obligatory imho). Definitely on my bucket list to see them live.
I've only seen them once, but personally know two individuals of which one of them has seen TMB 30+ times and the other 45+. They were a bucket list band for me. But I know beyond a shadow of a doubt...
Corners- IQ
Mother Russia on Ice- Renaissance Tree
Mother and Child Divided- PT
For one reason or another, the film that popped instantly into my head when I read the thread title was: Dude, Where's My Car. An hour and a half of my life I'll sadly never have back. It's like the...
Love the double live "Instant DeLIVEry" that was recorded in the Netherlands on 19/04/06 when touring for PH.
Love Song- Twelfth Night
Heartattack in a Layby-Tor and the Snow Dog- Porcupine Rush
Abigail's Ghost- Black Plastic Sun (2015)
Highly recommended to fans of Gavin Harrison-era PT.
This and to an even greater extent The Human Equation and The Source are all great albums (obligatory imho).
In the Middle of the Nights in White Satin- Temptation Blues
And You and I- Yes
Time Flies- PT
Love Song For America- Twelve Nights in Kansas
Time Stand Still- Canada's Finest
