Official Progressive Rock / Progressive Metal Thread

Some good songs there. Might not be rock, but definitely progressive space/psychedelic.



I never knew someone turned the middle section of Dazed and Confused into a whole song. ;)

I like Amboss many e-folds beyond Dazed and Confused. The drummer, Klaus Schulze, went on to do lots of spacey electronic stuff. Notice the amazing giant mirrors:

I worked with a guy who was totally into everything Klaus. I heard a variety from him. He was also into Opeth. :D

I am an OGT tool fan from back in Opiate days. So this thread needs more tool. How about The Pot?

Gotta love Tool. I'm not an OGT, but close. All it took was running across their "new" song Sober on the radio, and I had both Undertow and Opiate. :D

Sober, 1st song recorded with their then new bassist Justin Chancellor.

I bet Paul D'Amour feels like a jackass for not being able to keep his shit together at this point... lawl

I mean who doesn't love TOOL when they do shit like this...

Tool was scheduled to play at the Garden Pavilion in Hollywood but learned at the last minute that the Garden Pavilion belonged to L. Ron Hubbard's Church of Scientology, which the band felt clashed with "the band's ethics about how a person should not follow a belief system that constricts their development as a human being". Keenan "spent most of the show baa-ing like a sheep at the audience".

RUSH!!! Neil Peart blew my mind... I still can't play all of Neil's stuff but I give it a good run for it's money. I can boast the entire 2112 album cover to cover.

I used to play the song 2112 all the time. All we need is a bass player and singer...

Neil is the only drum solo I ever sat through completely amazed the whole time. Usually drum solos are break time. ;) And of course there is the disciple of, and heir apparent to Neil Peart. If you like Rush, you gotta like this song:

YouTube - Dream Theater - Erotomania

I used to all sit up high and stage right during shows just so I could watch the drummer(s). A lot of bands had two drummers and kept one of them in a pen behind the rest of the gear back then. I watched every move they made from start to finish.
Kids these days have it made learning music/drum parts with all of the Youtube videos. My daughter has self taught herself guitar from nothing with Youtube.
Yeah, I like Portnoy, a lot.
He lists Neil and Vinnie Paul as influences to and he seems to be a pretty good guy as he took Neils criticism of Dream Theater's tribute in stride without lashing out at the Professor. I thought that was big of him considering his incredible talent.
Great video by the way, thanks.

Here's a local band (for me). They have many albums and a live DVD. I saw them play in a bar in the area (with insufficient grounding), and the singer kept getting shocked in the mouth. Looked painful. He almost stopped at one point. I asked him about it when I ran into him at a Dream Theater show, and he said "that show sucked!". (Due to the electro-shock therapy!). He pointed out it's worse in Europe, where you get a 220 blast to the face.

Enjoy!

Many people ask that question. When they started, his style was popular. Kind of out of style for the past decade. If they wait long enough, he'll be back in style. Their newest release will include a special edition without vocals. :D

Mike Portnoy does work with some other singers though. Like Transatlantic.

Yeah I understand the style but really he blows at that style too! He was probably better when he was younger (dunno) but he just can't handle the high notes at all when he does a show. Picture DT with the guy from Iron Maiden, Queensryche, or Iced Earth, it would be so much better! Listen to Iced Earth's Alive in Athens James Labrie can't come close to that.

I used to have the Transatlantic CDs...pretty much everything related to DT I had lol, I forgot about Transatlantic though, I need to give their first CD another listen, it's so good.
 
couldnt figure out how to delete a past message....
