Favourite Progressive Rock artist :)

wondering if anyone using this forum likes progressive rock or symphonic rock. Tell me your favourite prog rock artist. My fav is Genesis and Rush

what is progresssive rock ?
i like peter and the testtube babies

Aye, I like Rush, Genesis, Peter Gabriel and Porcupine Tree

Dream Theater is the best progressive rock band for me!

Dream theatre and porcupine tree are awesome bands too. Both bands are much more like progressive metal

RUSH..........simply the best.
missed them recently due to lack of funds but saw them in 2004 at wembley arena.
blow any new bands off stage.

Ignore this post

Rush was at their best during the 70's and 80's. Their newest album snakes and arrows totally kicks ass even afer like 3 decades. Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee and Neil Peart are freakin' awesome together.

saw them way back in '79 the first time, my friend.....hemispheres tour.(?)
reckon they are better now than then even.....was great to see a whole crowd of '40 somethings' with no hair trying to headbang,,,,but we tried lol.

too bad i didn't exist during the 70's to see Rush If not it would have been an awesome view.
But however I did see the snakes and arrows tour on TV

coheed and cambria

Dream Theater and Rush.

I'm a huge fan of Fourth Estate and now their front man Dave Beegle (since they've now broken up). Fourth Estate was definitely in the Prog/Instrumental Rock category and then Dave Beegle is now doing more solo classical guitar. Awesome stuff.
Savatage is good too (they turned into Trans-Siberian Orchestra), they are a bit more 'rock operaish', but still good stuff.

Does anyone play the guitar here? (Electric / acoustic) ~ Post your pics here!

I have Yamaha acoustic guitar. I am not playing it as I used to when I was still younger (say 10 years ago)
I used to own a fender strat.

I find playing an instrument requires a lot of patience and passion. I started off with the piano but i gave up because i wasnt determined to play the piano. Only my parents forced me to play piano
you should give it another go on the guitar

i find playing the guitar is the second most addictive thing on earth apart from computer games. I dont think i will ever give up playing the guitar
its a good choice you bought a strat too cuz they rule

Here they are...
Couldn't live without them!

Epiphone Les Paul elec (left handed! - LEFTIES RULE!!)
Fender acoustic
VOX AC30
BOSS ME-8 effects
Alesis SR16 drum machine
Fostex DMT-8VL 8 track
....I could go on!!
Was a massive passion of mine...and (like most budding rockers out there) I nearly made it big (well, my band did!).
I have a penchant for heavy metal, but tend to struggle on the solos
Also been DJing drum n bass on my 1210's for the past 11 years.
I'm not sure why, but I would imagine you might find quite a few phone/music enthusiasts here...must be some strange link somewhere...probably the classic man/gadget/needtorock urges!!

I play guitar & sing togther, I love to upload video but I'm sure no one wanna see
but you can see my guitar at my piano video the links in my signture, my other guitar in the other corner
my cousin is the great guitarist I can upload video for him, I'm sure no on hate him yet
Paco is my favorite in guitar
the piano composers in my signture

I play guitar among other instruments. but the last years I mainly play Keyboards... I've released some Death metal cd in the past where I played all instruments.

I love guitar and music, too.
I like dream theater, fates warning, porcupine tree and millions other band. Now I'm mostly involved into american hard rock-journey, survivor, pride of lions (POL have the greatest, technically speaking, singer amongst any other music band....), but I really like every musical style when done with passion - speak classical, fusion, funk...

Yup.
I play in my church band regularly, and out in folk clubs here in the UK.
I have 4 acoustic guitars:
Martin HD-28 The best of the bunch of em
http://www.acousticthai.net/acoustic108/standard_series_martin/HD28.jpg
Martin 00-17 now back in the US with my daughter so I can play when I visit, This is a remake of the original 00-17 made in the 30's
http://www.thinmanmusic.com/Moo17.jpg
Babicz Spider Great guitar and is always a talking point when I play it out
http://www.larkstreetmusic.com/list/pict/BABBO.jpg
Guild F65ce I have had this for about 15yrs and it was 2nd hand when I got it, great for vamping and thrashing but a little too narrow in the neck for finger style. Mine is sunburst finished

My cd's were only released in my Country Faroe Islands but I'm shure some songs can be found on the net
by first project was called Internal Healing where I released 2 cd's "Darkside of truth" and "Immaculate Imanent Immutable Impetus" the other project was Human Caos "Selfdestruction"
But what I make now is mainly Trance and Electronica.
No I never played the piano but one of my kayboards is a 88 fully weighted keys so it's almost a piano

I play jazz guitar. You can hear short excerpts of my latest album on www.legopulver.com would be excited to hear any feed back! enjoy.

Everything by studio ghibli!!! Especially: Nausicaa, Mononoke, Spirited away

I see what you did there. On topic, i don't have enough time to write down a list, because there are so many.
Buy my Top 6 would be:
1 Toaru Kagaku no Railgun & Railgun S
2 Toaru Majutsu no Index & Index II
3 Steins;Gate
4 Toradora
5 Higashi no Eden
6 Saki

Been into anime for the last 15 years and seen countless series come and go, some are still going strong. Do not consider myself an otaku, though. I don't spend money on it.
I don't have a list of favorites. That would be silly. Anime is a "use then discard" type of product for me, like movies and live action series. One thing though, One Piece IS FOREVER!!!1 As a perfectly healthy individual in his prime years, I hope I get to live long enough to see the ending.

my neighbor Totoro is the best and BYOSOKU 5 SENCHIMETORU

1. Galaxy 999
2. Star Blazers
3. Ranma 1/2
4. Elfin Leid
5. Trigun
6. Space Pirate: Captain Harlock
7. Bleach
8. Ghost in the Shell
9. Princess Mononoke
10. Attack on titans

Naroto, One-piece, Bleach. Game Over

I'm definitely not an otaku, just watches some anime, not much. Here are my favs:
1. Fullmetal Alchemist
2. Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso
3. [A bit... No a LOT of flamebait here] either Code Geass or Guilty Crown xD I like both
4. One Piece (the manga though... The anime is meh)
5. Nisekoi
6. El Psy Congroo

Music- I waste sooo much time just lying on my bed and listening to music, then having to do my homework in the morning before school

Shows You've been to

I'm going to see Kasabian on tuesday in Seattle and I got thinking about some of the other shows I've been to: Beck, Matisyahu, Modest Mouse, my friends' country band Aces Up among a few others.
I thought it would be cool to see what all bands you guys have gone to see.
Lets hear em.

Best was definitely Cream. Second would be Rage Against The Machine....

Ive been to so many i cant keep track. By far the best were Pantera, Slayer, and Metallica

Two I wish I had seen.
Best show
GWAR
Hardest hitting
Lamb of God. Pantera, devildriver, and many more bands came out to play with them at the end of the show.
Best surprise
Metallica closing for ozzy. Then King Diamond came out and played with them. They played tons of old punk songs. The sheriff's dept ended up having to come out and close the show. They played for two hours after the show was supposed to end. Noise ordinance killed the party.
A week before Buddy Guy inducted in the Rock n Roll hall of fame, I saw him play with Double Trouble, the band from Stevie Ray Vaughn. That was pure greatness.
I probably see about 40 shows a yr. Come from a college town known for music. Blues, rock, and jazz greats come every year for the Denton arts and jazz fest. I love all music.

i saw bring me the horizon, machine head, devildriver and darkest hour, in one show, it was amazing, everyone threw bottles lmao

A year after dimebag died, down came to town. We booed, threw bottles and gave Phil the bird till he finally walked off stage and quit. Later that night, I guess the doorman didn't know he was who he was and let him into the clubhouse. He then got kicked outoff there. Haha that was hilarious when that his the news.

Saw "38 Special" at a medium size club/bar on Pensacola Beach. Simply amazing. (the club was so tightly packed that I felt as if I was in a can of sardines) They sounded "live", as tight as their studio recordings. You could have put a pair of good mics in that room, and cut a record with little to no editing. I've also seen G3 (Satriani, Malmsteen, and Vai) who also put on a great show.
Saw Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention at the Fillmore East, Blood Sweat & Tears (but was too young to remember much). The Blues Breakers at Max's Kansas City. Van Halen, Whitesnake, Dokken and the Scorpions.
