I agree with the opinion of size matters for the main speakers. 0ver 20 years ago I bought a pair of Mirage bi-polar OM-6s. I wanted the heft of the 8 inch woofers to go along with the good...

Afraid not. Just someone who hasn't posted in a longtime. So more of a lurker

You and me both. I loved what he brought to Asia on the tour. Nobody can replace Wetton but he brought a new energy to their music and just a little hard rock edge. For instance, I don't like the...

Glad to see you are still making music. This is Bruce A from your college days at AC. I won't mention what you listened to back in the 80s. But it was pretty diverse, with an emphasis on Rock and...

Agreed, damn fine song and entire album ... even the studio outtakes. A shame he pissed his life away with drugs.

Yup, I saw that show. And their performance was the highlight of the festival and the reason I went that year. Shame they didn't play more shows. I agree with the earlier comment about being...

I think they do this to boost the price of the DVD version. And thinking Blu-Ray fans are a little more upscale and therefore will be willing to pay for the fanciest box set version. Unfortunately...

60% of tickets are gone after 30 minutes (per Glenn)

For the last two years, it sold out in a little over a...

The "Gods of music" had nothing to do with his death. Sadly he choose to abuse drugs and choked to death in a needless early death. I say that without malice. I too wanted to see what he could...

It all depends on who owns the legal name now. I suspect Chris owned the name, since he was the only original member to appear on all the official Yes albums. And that probably came about sometime...

Wow, Musitron is right, this is one good progressive album and with guitar chops. You got to love his influences from Roger Waters, Pain of Salvation, Ayreon, Evergrey and Redemption. Damn fine music...

Did anybody else notice a minor change to the song "Nobody Home" on the accompanying CD? On the original recording, right before the end and crescendo, there's quiet passage with three knocks on a...

March 24th is the official release date

Yeah, I saw that segment. But was surprised they didn't mention Jon Lord of Deep Purple. He's better known for the Hammond Organ.

Because like Big Eyes, Walter Carlos owns the recordings. :lol

Definitely their best album since The Inner Circle. Monday Morning Apocalypse, Torn and Glorious Collision were OK but this one, Hymns for the Broken, returns them to greatness. I look forward to...

Wow, its now 85% sold. It's now or never!

77% of the tickets are now sold. So time is running out.

They go on sale Saturday morning at 10:00 EST.

Get em while you can. Last year sold out within a month.

We are already past that. Molly Hatchet had no original members from 1996 until 2005 when Dave Hlubek rejoined. And Blackfoot has no original members. Rickey Medlocke reformed the band in 2012...

The first time I heard Silent Lucidity", I thought it was good creepy song about mind control (aka Dr. X from Mindcrime). Then the silly video came out and removed all doubt. Even worse, it was...

I agree with most of Harbottle's comments and list. But I differ on a few of the albums. Several years ago I started exploring Fish when he was selling the albums on his website in a remastered and...

Per Kerry Livgren's website, "2/26/14: Currently at work on the re-recording and re-mixing of Proto-Kaw's "Before Became After" CD."

Kerry's done this to several...

His best all around album is The Human Equation. Good music, lyrics, realistic and encaging plot, and guest vocalists. The two part Dream Sequencer/Flight of the Migrator comes in second with some...

There are some weak pop songs on the album like "People of the South Wind". But then some outstanding classics, especially "Angels Have Fallen", "A Glimpse of Home" and "Reason to Be". So I've...

Yeah, it's a weird name and could hinder them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eumeria

I highly recommend Eumeria. Last Saturday was their warm-up show in Houston. It was a short but great 45 minute set. Jonny Tatum is a little shy in person but has a great voice. While Reece Fullwood...

Seeing Eumeria tonight for their very first concert and warm-up for the cruise. We will see if these guys can live up to their debut album and cruise invitation by Mike Portnoy.

Air Supply's Making Love Out of Nothing At All. Just as it's building to a peak, it quickly fades out. And for a Steinman song, it's short at 5:15. As much as I love the song, I always feel...

It was a joint release by Universal/Mercury Records and Rock Candy in 2005. It's good but I prefer the Deluxe Expanded Edition from Europe that came out in 2012. It has the best sound. Also...

The first three Dokken albums to be reissued at the end of this month. Those are some 80's classic melodic rock albums that solely needed to be remastered.

ARMOURY RECORDS TO RE-ISSUE FIVE OF DEREK SHERINIAN'S SOLO ALBUMS:

On February 11, 2014, Eagle Rock's rock label Armoury Records is delighted to be reissuing five of Derek Sherinian's solo...

On the whole, I like the Rock Candy remastering and packaging. I can't say to same for some of the albums they choose to reissue. And yes they will include a few bonus tracks if they are singles...

The first album, In The Eye of the Storm, is very similar to Roger's songs with Supertramp. Which is a very good and recommended. The other two are rather disappointingly pop.

Speaking of Everon, the Italian band, A Perfect Day, reminds me of them. Similar guitar tone and melodic chorus. I like the crunchy metal guitar with a hard rock melody.

Don't let it put you...

In modern times, it would have to be The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. I absolutely love that album but can't stand anything else by the band. However, as I discovered, it was a drastically...

Yup, nice album for some lighter instrumental music. But I'll raise you "Odyssey Into the Mind's Eye Soundtrack". I prefer it's diversity that occasionally touches on hard rock.

...

Cool, I didn't know any video footage existed of Streets. Is there more?

If you liked the first self-titled Seventh Key album, you really need to get the second album, The Raging Fire. It's a better all-around album for songs, energy and even a few progressive elements...

Having attended four rock cruises (2 Rock Legends and 2 Monster's Of Rock), I can venture an educated guess. On both cruises, you are given a special festival lament badge with lanyard when you...

The next album is already in the works according to Doug. And I agree, it is an excellent album. Almost as good as The Winery Dogs.

InsideOut Music has teamed up with Mike Portnoy, Derek Sherinian and Sixthman to bring Progressive Nation to the high seas in 2014!

The inaugural sailing will take place February 18-22, 2014 on...

Rock Candy has recently remastered this CD. Of course, everyone is familiar with his Children Of The Sun album. East Of Eden's Gate was a later album.
...

Based on the Monster's Of Rock cruise (presented by the same outfit as CttE), many of the same bands will return next year. Probably about two-thirds of the bands. Then add some new and more bands....

Overall a pretty weak album for APP. The one song that stands out is "Lucifer". Recently I went back and filled in my APP collection since they lost me around "Ammonia Avenue". I was pleasantly...

On second look, it appears the pool in front of the deck stage was open. Wow what a difference and shame. On Monsters of Rock it was covered to allow for more standing room and quite frankly, the...

There is plenty of jamming with fellow musicians on the Rock Legends and Monsters of Rock cruises. So it's not all about the attorneys. It has more to do with the musicians desire to do it and...

I too have the boxset and both shows are very good. Excellent sound and video. The NY show is a tighter performance. While the LA show is a little more laid-back which highlights the improve-jazz...

I just discovered this super group from about 10 years ago. Featuring Terry Brock On Vocals (Kansas, Seventh Key, Strangeways), Randy Jackson On Guitar (Zebra), Billy Greer On Bass (Streets, Seventh...

Coming from a long-time Saga fan who preferred their rock side and not the pop side of the band, I recommend two older albums ("Images At Twilight" and "Silent Knight") as well as two newer ones...

I'll wave as I get off the Monsters Of Rock cruise ... on the same boat and immediately before the Cruise To The Edge

The cheapest prices I have seen for these CD and Magazine combo packs is http://www.importcds.com/. They are pretty efficient and so far have not lost an order. Most orders take a week or two to...

Try ROUNDABOUT in caps

The Japanese album titled Gary Moore - Spanish Guitar provides all the Colosseum II I want. I found the full albums are a very mixed bag with only a few good songs

Coming from a Livgren fan, none of his solo albums match the first one. There are moments and songs in each one but most are more pop or AOR then prog. So for pure prog, you have to go to his...

The MSC Poesia is the same boat used for the Monster's Of Rock cruise ... which I attend earlier this year. Very good overall sound in the main theater, the swimming pool deck and even the interior...

Here is the Kick-Off Show logistical email that I promised you. Sorry if it is a bit wordy, but if you look it over, it should answer all questions you have about this epic show.
