Deep Purple Appreciation Society

gratephil — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 20:38:03 GMT

Sandy Robertson put together one of the best loose fan orgs for any band I've run across back in the mid '70's. As far as I know, it still compiles rereleases..and crawls through boots for source material. Robertson is also one of the few journalists I know of to make a side-career out of treating Alistar Crawley irreverently. Any members here?

Highly recommend the band "Riverside"

NovaNova — Mon, 12 Jun 2006 07:57:05 GMT

I recently discovered this melodic prog band - similar to Porcupine Tree - and can't say enough good things about them. Yhey are from Poland - and I hope they make it to the US sometime - it appears they spend most of their time on the festival tours across Europe.

Prog Metal Websites

Does anyone know of any good, well maintained and updated websites that deal specifically with progressive metal as a whole?

Check these guys out!

whiskyandfeet — Mon, 10 Jul 2006 21:03:02 GMT

I don't usually like to pimp 'unsigned' bands, but this is a special case. A buddy turned me on to this band from Australia, and I think you will likey likey.

http://www.thethirdending.com/

Check out the samples, and bare in mind if you decide to order that the prices are in Australian Dollars. My disc came for $18 shipped.

Check them, and let me know what you think.

No More Antagonizing!

vanuslux — Thu, 09 Dec 2004 16:43:59 GMT

I will not abide by personal attacks, direct or inferred, in this tribe any longer.

The day after a certain pissing match got started three months ago, I recieved word that my nearest and dearest friend of 11 years was dead. This made me a recluse for quite some time and I hadn't the presence of mind to concern myself with online matters, even the moderation of my own tribes. It really pissed me off to see said pissing match resurrected so long after anyone should have given two tugs of a dog's dick about it, and it didn't get any better from there.

Perhaps I should have been clearer about why I deleted that thread. From this point on I will aggressively annihilate any post that exists to take a shot at another poster. I don't care who you are, I don't care what your beef is, I don't even care if you're right or wrong. A large reason I started this tribe was because I was sick of how negative and hostile metal forums tend to be.

There's a little bit of wisdom in the saying that arguing online is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded. So no more, okay? I don't want to spend all my time here deleting posts.

The Gigantour.

whiskyandfeet — Tue, 05 Apr 2005 20:40:39 GMT

DAVE MUSTAINE'S 'GIGANTOUR' SET TO LAUNCH IN LATE JULY;
DREAM THEATER, FEAR FACTORY, DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN AND NEVERMORE
CONFIRMED TO JOIN MEGADETH ON THE MAINSTAGE
FOR SIX-WEEK NORTH AMERICAN TREK

It's called GIGANTOUR, and it's the brainchild of MEGADETH frontman/guitarist DAVE MUSTAINE.

Set to launch in late July, GIGANTOUR is a six-week festival trek co-headlined by MEGADETH and DREAM THEATER, who'll be accompanied by other mainstage acts Fear Factory, Dillinger Escape Plan and Nevermore. Artists for the second stage will be announced in the coming weeks.

GIGANTOUR follows MEGADETH’s sold-out 2004 “Blackmail The Universe” Tour in support of 2004’s THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED--MEGADETH’s tenth studio album--which debuted on the charts at #18 and was critically hailed as a brilliant return to form. Bandmates Glen Drover (guitar), James MacDonough (bass) and Shawn Drover (drums) will once again join MUSTAINE on the road.

GIGANTOUR--whose moniker was inspired by the classic 1960’s cartoon “Gigantor”--will criss-cross North America, with stops in amphitheatres and arenas in cities including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Denver and Minneapolis, among others. The tour is implementing the “fan friendly” ticket price of approximately $35 each. MUSTAINE notes: “I think people may want an affordable alternative to the choices out there--along the lines of a pure music festival--like Monsters of Rock or Clash of the Titans.”

MUSTAINE handpicked the bands for GIGANTOUR, with a focus on musicianship. “There are few very successful tours out each summer and in order to be significant, I knew the first Gigantour had to make an impact with top bands like DREAM THEATER, Fear Factory, Dillinger Escape Plan and Nevermore.” MUSTAINE wanted to “put together a festival that consisted of positive bands that play heavy music in a high energy environment.”

MUSTAINE comments on the other bands he’s chosen for the GIGANTOUR mainstage. “I think that the variety of playing styles and the credibility of the different players is really exciting. I’m looking forward to spending time with DREAM THEATER--including my friend Mike Portnoy--while on the road. I think DREAM THEATER is unbelievably talented. I can’t wait to see what their set list is going to be for this festival.”

Mike Portnoy from DREAM THEATER comments on the band’s perspective on the tour. “I think we probably bring some diversity to the bill, because we’re kind of like chameleons--we can fit into a lot of different situations. We’ve done shows in the past with Iron Maiden, Slayer and Pantera, and then we’ve also done shows with Elton John, Yes and Deep Purple. I think our fan base is very diverse like that too.” Portnoy sees GIGANTOUR as a “kind of a meeting of musicians and metal-heads.” He adds: “I’ve been listening to MEGADETH since day one and always admired them and Dave as an artist--he’s constantly stuck to his guns and stuck by the music he believes in. MEGADETH are one of the pioneers of the genre.” GIGANTOUR marks the first U.S. leg of DREAM THEATER dates in support of their forthcoming release OCTAVARIUM, due out June 7 on Atlantic Records.

MUSTAINE first toured with Fear Factory in 1994. “I think Fear Factory and Dillinger Escape Plan are really going to add something different to the tour and bring some new people in.” He continues, “The frontman of Nevermore [Warrell Dane] used to be in a band called Sanctuary and I produced their first record.”

MUSTAINE is excited to hit the road and has a positive outlook for GIGANTOUR. “I look forward to watching this develop over the years and seeing how we can turn this into something that’s going to stand the test of time. And if this works, and it really works, maybe we’ll take it elsewhere.”

Stay tuned for tour dates, venues and information about the second stage bands to be announced soon.

Warrior Sould Drummer Murdered!!!

Wed, 02 Feb 2005 16:59:49 GMT

According to BBC News, two men and a woman from Essex have been charged with the murder of former WARRIOR SOUL drummer Mark Evans (photo), whose burnt body was found in a wheelie bin in an east London car park last week.

Evans, 48, from Dagenham, was strangled and transported in a wheelie bin to Electric Parade, Ilford.

Anthony Aldis, 38, of Goodmayes, Steven Fullerton, 28, of Gants Hill, and Leanne Terry, 26, of Seven Kings, have all been charged with his murder.

All three were scheduled to appear at Waltham Forest magistrates court on Saturday (Jan. 29).

They also face charges of perverting the course of justice.

A member of the public discovered the burning body on Wednesday morning (Jan. 26) after finding his garden fence on fire.

Mark Evans appeared on the following WARRIOR SOUL albums: "Drugs, God and the New Republic" (1991), "Salutations from the Ghetto Nation" (1992) and "Chill Pill" (1993).

Prog Websites

vanuslux — Wed, 12 Jan 2005 08:39:08 GMT

I just found a site called www.progressiveworld.net that seems pretty useful for keeping up with what's coming out in the progressive music world...though I wish it were more focused on metal but I like prog rock too so I don't mind too much that it's takes the broad route of covering all things remotely prog.

Does anyone know of any better sites? Where do you visit for your progressive metal news?

Metal Church

ScrapIron — Fri, 02 Jul 2004 23:10:36 GMT

I saw Metal Church last night at this dive bar in Denver and they blew the roof off of the fucking place.

They played classics like Ton of Bricks, Watch the Children Pray, Gods of Wrath, and Metal Church. Plus the new stuff was fuckin' killer.

I am glad they have decided to record another album. It will be a must when it released later this month.

Check out www.metalchurch.com for details.

Dimebag Darrell Shot Dead At Show.

I know that neither dimebag nor any of the bands he's been in have much association with progressive metal, but I don't really give a damn. That's some fucked up shit right there.

Muso's Idea of Fun!

Here's a fun idea ...

How many members do we have that are musicians? Especially musicians with recording capability ... you can see where I am going wih this can't you LOL ...

How about trying to be the first tribe to release a cooperative music venture ... not to everybody can be a part of the process ...

Metal Magazines

vanuslux — Tue, 30 Dec 2003 03:05:56 GMT

Does anyone else here read metal mags? When I was a teenager I read nearly all of them that were metal friendly...these days I mostly read Metal Maniacs and occasionally Metal Edge. I can't help but wonder whatever happened to Rip Magazine.

Anyway, I just picked up Feb '04 issue (anyone know why magazines are almost always labeled a few months ahead?) of Metal Maniacs and that made me wonder.

Is Prog Rock really Prog Metal?

johnnyeponymous — Tue, 06 Jan 2004 00:20:52 GMT

I'm slightly confused.
I would never in a million years put Rush, Yes, Dream Theatre in the Progressive Metal genre. Yeah, they are progressive rock, no question, but when I think of Prog Metal, I think of the heavy sounds that have been coming out of Tulsa, DC and bands like Goatsnake.
Am I wrong?

Lets start the ball rolling ...

Fri, 26 Dec 2003 02:04:42 GMT

OK, we need to give the chat a little bit of a kick-start ... so, in a truly traditional move, someone has to come up with some spurious reason to get everyone posting ... and this time, it is me ... sorry ... LOL

Yes, it's that time again ... the stupid list of questions meant to get everyone used to each other ... I know, it's severely "old hat" ... but I can't think of anything more original (or progressive, even, LOL) ... so here they are:

(1) Fave Bands

(2) Fave Albums

(3) Fave Songs

(4) Are you a musician? If so, what instrument & who is you major influence?

As with anything progressive, feel free to add your own ...
