Report all those coming from PA

now... what is it going to take to get Ivan over here Rawks

maybe Santa needs to slip some Ratt under his X-mas tree LOL

I used to be a regular on PA up until 2006 then I moved on.

I was a big fan of the 70s Heavy Rock and Prog scene but never really took to the NWOBHM bands though have seen most live, including Leppard, Maiden and Saxon. Seen Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Angelwitch, AC/DC, Scorpions, Budgie and many more that escape me. I am not a big fan of modern metal but my daughter keeps me well informed and I am constantly exposed to the more commercial metal bands as my daughter has Kerrang on 24/7 on the TV. I do own a couple of Meshuggah cds and am a fan of Opeth.

I did about a hundred reviews; mostly Symphonic Prog and some Prog Metal. It's interesting how many Prog-heads are also metal-heads.

Also interesting to note how many metalheads are into prog too Wink

Personally I always saw myself as a metalhead first and foremost no matter what else I listened to.
I listen to a healthy dose of prog, but something about calling myself a "prog head" doesn't sit right with me at all.
Kinda the whole, we know what a metalhead is, a punk is,a goth is kinda thing.
But you walk out onto the street and say "I'm a proghead" and people are just gonna give you a blank stare and think you're some kind of weirdo

hey guys!

Nice to see someone from the Cincinnati area! I know one other person (birdwithteeth11) from high school, but it's good to know that there's someone else around here who's into awesome music. Thumbs Up

ionly saw this today

same name, different signature and still too lazy to find and select an avataer

My presence here might surprize a few, here.... but I never said I didn't like metal

Let's just say I moved on once I hitt the 20's and haven't followed the metal trends

Most likely I'll be here for the stuff I know and love.... not likely to search for "new bands", though.

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

Maybe Dream Theater could replace Labrie with Michael Bolton LOL

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is exactly what Dream Theater needs.... to start at least... they can work on a new drummer.. bassist... keyboardist.. and finally guitarist later I suppose

Oh no! Not here too! Cry

Yeah. Here I was, thinking there was finally a website where we could safely discuss DT without it descending into anarchy. Does such a place exist? Are they to be about as accepted in the metal community as they are in the prog community?

Better yet a website where we can discuss other bands than Dream Theater.
At least at the child forum at ultimatemetal.com I go to, DT is rarely if ever, brought up in topics or topics made about them. Hell, even on the Petrucci forum itself I swear they don't discuss DT as much as PA

Also, unlike in PA where DT are like the most popular band in the entire catalogue of bands (amongst the most popular at least), here on MMA there are 398471347810 bands that are more popular (read: commercially successful) than DT so probably the hate and jealousy they inspire so well will not be too evident in these waters..

(I hope....
