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. -Andy Putman ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Apr 1999 01:39:53 -0400 From: "Chris Files" To: Subject: Re: Fun DT moment Message-ID: <000501be8314$93496d40$bbca7ad1@artoo-detoo> Luke wrote: <<>> 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.

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...

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?

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 Outlander _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
