I don't know, I tend not to call a band with just a really fast guitar
player and perhaps a few strange time signatures prog. I always look for
something different, something mind-expanding. That's why I really
started getting into bands like King Crimson about a year ago. They
stretch the boundaries of what music is, and create something new and
fresh, rather than just spouting off fast neoclassical riffs with a high
singer. Metal, and even 'prog metal' like Angra and Symphony X seems too
cliche, too formulaic to be truly considered prog by my definition.
Actually, recently I've been describing the stuff I like more avant-garde
than prog, to avoid confusing people. That's probably a better word.

So didya knock on the door and introduce yourself as the other DT fan on the
continent? Was the listener an avid fan or a casual one? Was the listener
cool? (believe it or not, I've run into some very uncool ones -- most of
them at the Birch Hill, NJ holidays '98 show :) I ask because when I first
went to college there was a guy in my math class who frequently wore a DT
shirt, but I was not out-going enough at the time to walk up and say "Hi,
I'm a DT fan too". It doesn't matter, though, we're great friends now.
Cool story.

So Derek sucked on 'boards'? Get your head outta your ass, jackass, Derek is a
great keyboardist, differing interests does not mean someone sucks when a lineup
changes... What's next? You gonna say KevMo sucked???? You piss me off with your
ego man... GEEZUZ PLEEZUZ

That's a lot of fucking weed, Nick. Let's say he did smoke that much weed...
Even in his HIGHly medicated state of mind, his musical perception would appear
to be "in tune" with a vast majority of the people on this list.
You appear to be the oddball.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

LOL! Funny you mentioned that... My 16 year old daughter is dating a
17 year old guy that digs DT. He's got potential. :)
He's a struggling (to say the least) guitar player; People like Petrucci,
Romeo, and Vai, kinda piss him off. :) But at least he can recognize talent.
I introduced the lad to Symphony X, Superior, Vanden Plas, Fates Warning,
Al DiMeola, Steve Morse, and Frank Zappa. He's ready to burn his guitar!
He appears to have a genuine interest in Prog-metal, and I don't think he's
just kissing ass.
I wonder how he's going to react to me cleaning my guns as I have the
obligatory "Pregnancy prevention" speech?

"Please remember that I live in Australia - there's like four of us
here
on the Jam and probably double that at the most in Australia
collectively. And I live on the Gold Coast! - the home of rapid
unemployment, surf, skegs and grunge. After being a DT fan for just
over
3 years now and hearing from no other fans in my area in that time,
to
have a fellow DT-ist just a few houses away is epic!
Luke."
Thats a pretty kewl story...i have one too
I met an incredible looking blond through the lifting shadows site
when it was the official one
We started corresponding...and i hopped a plane and our first date
took place 880 miles from my house!
were still in touch and I dont know about you but nothing quite
compares to meeting a golden-tressed angel with intelligence and an
actual ear for the enigma that is DT....
So, like you...that made me very happy!
I would like to bring her down where you are because the Austrailia
ive seen in pictures looks like an ideal spot for a 4 week getaway!
sooner or later
