Alexander Parker69 said:I saw someone somewhere say they might not be "technical" enough for someone claiming to be a prog fan 🤔 But based on the style, the arrangements, and the sheer vision? They definitely are. And Geoff Tate is easily one of the best vocalists out there. Plus—unlike 99% of metalheads—he doesn't just scream every single vowel unless he actually needs to. 😁

Yeah, that constant screaming gets so irritating sometimes...

feralstag11 said:man, you actually gave me this one... and honestly? It's not bad. 🙂

😎 😎 look, everything I hand out is gold.😎

ughhh, am I really some kind of King?😎

quietpuma3 said:So they're leaning more towards a heavier sound after all—honestly, I'm not even sure if it's what I'm looking for, but whatever, I'll grab it anyway.

Empire? Never heard of it.

👋

Nah, they aren't "leaning" toward anything... they just sound exactly like they've always sounded. Nothing changes.

quietpuma3 said:Do they have anything in common with Dream Theater since they're both prog rock?

Is the album actually heavy metal, or is it more on the rock/hard rock side—you know, a bit milder?

I'm hoping it leans more toward rock than metal.

Yeah, they have similarities with DT—well, DT has similarities with them since they were one of their inspirations, and they actually just toured together.

Personally, I think Geoff Tate has one of the most beautiful vocals out there—if you're looking at complexity.
And the storytelling is killer...👍 👍
Have you heard Empire ???

P.S. they are prog rock😎

I was actually hoping he’d try to comfort me—instead, the little prick tried to get handsy... die little BITCH 🙂

Hugh 'n' Pepper said:You guys are totally missing the point—the crew from Seattle is right here. Just hop over to the social subforum under the "Meetups & Coffee" section, find the Seattle thread, and you'll get all the details...

😳 😳 😳 Shame on me 😳 😳 😳

Quick question: When is this damn crew from the Seattle area actually going to get together and grab a drink?? What's the hold up?? It shouldn't be this hard.

Hugh 'n' Pepper said:Yeah

I'm asking myself the same thing... 🙂 along with Matija. 😁 Man, you know he just jumped straight into some band we were rehearsing with in the garage for that indie rock stuff... woo!

Haha... so he actually pulled it off? Well, swing by Point in 🙂
this Friday then.

Hugh 'n' Pepper said:nah. we're just locking ourselves in the garage—working on new tracks, tweaking the old stuff... probably jam a little after the new set, just to unwind from all the rehearsals and whatever else... 🙂

man...
seriously, when are we actually gonna 🙂 🙂 ???

Kenneth Edwards3 said:Kevin Chavez3👍 🙏 👋 👋

Aggressive Wrong snail Attack and Pasi are hitting the spot this Friday!
Not sure if I'm actually gonna make it... so... maybe see you there! 🙂

you totally forgot about Microphonica...

Ryan James3 said:Austin music venue: coming soon 🙂

thanks... let me know 😁

Hugh 'n' Pepper said:I’m not even going to get too deep into what happened last night. Frank Harrigan was there, so he knows I’m right. First off, we were only given ten minutes. Second: we didn't find out the details of what, how, or where until 1:00 PM. Third: WHO ARE THE IDIOTS THAT KEPT PLAYING AFTER US? And who does Damir Urban think he is—telling Agressive Snail Attack and Athu that the guys don't believe in their music or can't play when he clearly hasn't listened to a single note from either band? Saying that right in front of us? Heh... I guess being famous gives you permission for that kind of crap. I've met plenty of great people—those guys from Greece were in the dressing room with us, total legends. The band Grad deserves nothing but praise, too.

If any of the big shots happen to be reading this—though I doubt they care—you can shove it. Then maybe tell me: what is AC/DC supposed to be? Is this a competition for demo bands or just some old fossils messing around? All the bands are at one venue, and we're sidelined somewhere else... fuck, like we're some insignificant afterthought. And what about that moron organizer? What the hell is his problem... honestly...

The show itself was good, but it would have been better if the whole point of the event actually worked. It's just... we're being kicked off the stage because we played for 11 minutes, and that's that...

BTW, Agressive Snail Attack should have had over 90 minutes of stage time. They've been around for ages, and in my opinion, that was their best set yet. We've shared a garage with them for a long time—I know them, they're great people, super friendly atmosphere the whole time. I'm really happy for them. As for the organizers, a huge 👎 to them, and that's that. We're a new band; we have maybe 45 minutes of material if I only count the stuff we've actually rehearsed properly...

Cheers

Man... let's just hope things improve next time... anyway, do you guys have more gigs coming up soon???

hey, maybe driftingeagle27 is actually unknown, which is why he's acting like such a coward toward hollowseal33😁

Quick question for all the music snobs in Seattle... WHEN IS THEIR DEMO FINALLY COMING OUT OF THE SHADOWS!!!!!!!!?????

Olivia Phillips10 said:I had an absolute blast... you guys are just musical snobs... damn it... you'd want everything perfectly tailored specifically to your tastes🙂 no okay 🙂
I loved it!
see you next year
Agressive Snail Attack 👍

Give me a break... the finalists only got 15 minutes on stage... pathetic... if that's what they call RI rock, then those guys should've had the most time—since they're supposed to be the "future of American rock," not some preppy kids and washed-up losers

silverscout2 said:What are you even on, man?! 😕 😲

He's probably just high on some premium indica... plus this crazy wind chill is messing with his head... honestly, you should just join the Marino Tironi fan club and call it a day.

swiftmaker20 said:Alright, maybe not across the board. But what exactly are you getting at here?

😈 Not going public with that 😈

swiftmaker20 said:In everything... 🙂

hmm... wouldn't bet on that... better to jump first and ask questions later!!🙄

swiftmaker20 said:Me, a xenophobe??? Not a chance!
Okay, maybe I have an ego—that’s true. But at least I'm honest about it... 😁

Yeah, sure, and pigs can fly...

Bryan Barrett said:And you think I'm actually into them?
I’m looking for elevator music here—that's why I asked.

Whatever, I'll send it over and you can judge for yourself.
