I'm happy they're doing it for new fans and people with a ton of money. I won't be attending despite living less than an hour away from one of the shows. The price is insane and the three of them were weak 12 years ago. Now one of them is dead and the others are 12 years older. There's no chance it will be good.

there's this manga called jojo's bizarre adventure that's very popular, the creator's really into prog rock and filled it with prog references. the anime adaption did this iconic gimmick where each episode ended with a massive cliffhanger, and the ending themesong was roundabout, but it did this thing where the 40 second acoustic intro of roundabout played during the set-up for the cliffhanger and the actual credits dropped when the main song started
it became such an icon that japs and even western normies who've never watched the show edit roundabout into "to be continued" set-ups constantly

>Implying Roger cares for Phil's health
>Compared to his songwriting heroes, Waters knew that Collins represented everything superficial about the music industry, explaining, “I seem to always wind up attacking poor Phil Collins. He’s symptomatic of an awful lot of it. He might well disagree, and so might his fans. But the ‘feeling’ I get is that he’s pretending to be a songwriter or a rock ’n’ roller. It’s an act. That’s why it’s unsatisfying.”

I try to like them because they're one of the few prog bands big enough to tour and draw an audience of more than a couple hundred. There are some good tracks here and there, but overall it's not quite my cup of tea.

The issue with Steven Wilson is that he is basically a 70s prog cover musician. His entire output is basically a version of something someone else made. It's good, but the charade is always present. It's the best next thing if you're a millenial or a zoomer who never got their chance to see Pink Floyd or King Crimson live in their prime.

The first PT album is from his psychedelic era. If you want to listen to their more prog oriented music you can start with their 2000s albums, like In Absentia or Fear of a Blank Planet.

Bringing it back to Adrian Belew, what did you guys think of this now that the dust has settled a bit? I caught the tour in November '24. Honestly well up there with some of the other shows I've seen. I've seen Fripp w/ Belew ConstruKtion of Light tour. Beat had a more "American" feel I thought but Vai did well and respected the music. Belew looked like he was having a blast.

To be charitable, maybe he thought that CD reissues are pretty exploitative by nature so if he was going to do it he might as well augment the originals with new elements. Though desu I hate the Hot Rats remix a lot more. Don't get how anyone could prefer it.

I unironically like Earthbound more than Summit Studios. In fact, it's my second favorite King Crimson live release behind Zoom Club 1972 with Muir (which also has shite audio quality).
Frankly at this point I feel like it's overhated just because Fripp disowned it way back when it came out. The performances are absolutely electric on here in spite of--perhaps, because of--the low fidelity. The Groon and Schizoid Man climaxes in particular are insane.

It's too frontloaded. Title track, In The Cage, Carpet Crawlers. Basically the songs they kept bringing back on a regular basis. At least in the case of, say, The Wall's filler songs, they were there for a narrative purpose. In the case of Lamb you know those weird extended filler passages are there so Peter had time to change his outfits.

People see this as Araki having a weird music taste but most japanese otaku in the 70s and 80s were big metalheads and prog rockers. Look no further than Nobuo Uematsu who was a big Keith Emerson wannabe. Dancing Mad feels like a lost ELP epic. And women were into that music big time, there's this female mangaka in Manben who kept modeling his male characters after Led Zeppelin members because she thought they were super cute.

NU SHOOZ - POINT OF NO RETURN (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
https://youtu.be/yavaJNXoMe8?si=XnMvDnMNkiV_GL-g
this is kinda the sound I'm tryna have now as a musician but a little more urban, hip-hop or boom bappy and modern (as in techno or edm modern). It's ironic that I want this sound today and this came out EXACTLY 40 years ago almost to the day. March 1986. So it was literally being made and recorded right about now, 40 years ago. That's how I kinda guide my musical journey. You gotta pay attention to cycles and patterns because the world (and the musical scale) was created using the Fibonacci sequence which is basically code for infinite patterns and cycles.

Nu Shooz - Poolside (1986)
probably the coolest non-hip-hop or rock album I've ever heard. For sure the best one from the 80s.
>>
>>129466021
Wikipedia: Valerie Day's performances with Nu Shooz had mixed reviews. She and Smith (her husband and band partner) were credited with "rewriting the book" on Portland's R&B sound. One reviewer at the Seattle Times described her as having a "tough but perky wholesome image," and praised her dancing and conga playing, but opined that she over-used a certain vocal hook, and was reluctant to step out as the star of the group. From 2010 to 2014, Day was an adjunct professor at Portland State University, where she taught Contemporary/Jazz Voice.

I'd donate something like this to a church. Even if it was brand new. Or give it to my grandma. I'd only wear a sweater like that if it was blank. I'm cool on ur corny logos and designs. The look of wearing a blank hoody or sweater has way more impact than all that trendy shit ya'll wear that ur gonna think is lame in 3 years anyway.
Everyone has a signature look, whether they know it or not. The people that don't know it usually are the ones who look retarded and lame because they tryda follow everything and try everything they see everyone else doing. They have no sense of self or individuality.
But if it works on you and you can pull it off and still be sexy F it. I mean, I know I could. I just wouldn't with something corny looking like that, OR trendy. I wear a solid black hoody, an LA dodgers ballcap, and a fresh pair of 60-dollar Lee's. Air Jordan 4s an 5s n all white Forces. That's literally my whole wardrobe other than packs of white T's and white beaters. I will wear Navy blue and Khaki Dickies too. Only da pants tho. The full suits are a lil too extra for me personally, but I do think their fire and probably would wear em if I was a lot slimmer (I'm like 190 at 6ft).
That's just me tho. And you can't be me.

Thanks for the response. Yeah. Vai was always the Devil's Guitarist in Crossroads to me. During that show he really impressed me which got me more into his solo stuff.

No, you're allowed to not like nursery rhymes. But your original post made it clear that you disliked Cross Eyed Mary and Mother Goose yet if you bothered to actually flip the record over you'd realize that My God, Hymn 43, Locomotive Breath and Wind Up all rock pretty hard. Just don't post stupid shit when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about

King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and VDGG did enough to make Passion Play-esque music. Don't get me wrong, I love that type of music and those are three of my favorite bands for a reason. Still, I like the variety Tull brings with Songs from the Wood, Thick as a Brick, and Heavy Horses.

the soul agents have a prog single from even before, 1965. I think this is the first prog rock song

Ibis wins by a long shot. Although the belew version of C&C is a gem too, I always substitute that version listening to itwop
