It saddens me deeply to report it looks like I won't make the Type O show after all.
Fundification became non-existent after the purchase of a vehicle.
I am truly bummed.
Oh well, at least The Cult is on like Donkey Kong!

From my screen name, you shouldn't be surprised I'm REALLY looking forward to this one!
Type O Negative October 27 in ATL at The Masquerade.

This Friday it's night one of a two night stand from Drivin' n' Cryin' at the Pour House in Raleigh. Sunday it's the Gourds (and many others) at the Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival in Silk Hope, NC.
Drivin' N Cryin' is coming here to Augusta and I was planning to see them.
But the one I can't wait for is...
Sunday, November 15th - The Cult in the ATL at The Tabernacle.
It's their "Love Live" tour where they play the entire Love album.
As my friend said, we're gonna see The Cult at The Tabernacle on the Sabbath. lulz.
And I'm sure it will become a Sonic Temple.

I actually saw some of the interview transcripts from GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) interviews with Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole. A comment that stuck out to me was one of them remarking that they figured they'd killed pretty much every way except by poisoning.
Another guy was Steven Judy, who actually I guess was a mass-murderer as opposed to a serial killer, as he only (only? damn) killed 4 people in a single incident, a mother and her 3 kids.
A comment he made in a news article stuck out to me when he said he wanted to die in the electric chair, because not only would he do it again, but he didn't know what waited for him on the other side (of death), but it had to be better than this (life).
I guess I find comments and remarks the only thing interesting about these people, and the way they exist among society while committing such heinous acts. Because the realization comes that there are always more among us even as we speak, either in the process of or feeding their desire to commit unspeakable acts. And that there will undoubtedly be something that is even more shocking than before, even though you become convinced that a particular thing is the worst thing imaginable.
And that is very sad.

Grand Illusion and Come Sail Away are two of my favorite all-time songs. But they lost me with Paradise and Mr-friggin-Roboto.
I saw them in 1978, and clearly DeYoung had taken a killer Chicago rock band and turned it into a proto-Broadway act. He might as well have been doing Phantom of the Opera!
Oh wait. He did Hunchback of Notre Dame???
My bad.
Yeah, it's like that.
Again, Madame Blue, Crystal Ball, Miss America, Boat on a River...good stuff.
Saw 'em in '78 as well on their Grand Illusion tour with UFO - wotta awesome show!
Man In The Wilderness was the encore, and to this day is one of my top 3 Styx songs.

I never really thought of ELO, Supertramp, Traffic or Tull as prog rock. Gabriel I would say possibly in his very early days but later on I think he moved into a very different direction. I think of bands like ELP, Renaissance, Floyd, Yes, early Genesis etc. more when I think of the term prog rock
I kinda question how much old school prog rock and prog metal have in common, since prog metal seems to have evolved from 80s metal like Iron Maiden and speed/thrash metal.
In fact, I'm a little unsure of the OPs intent, or if the intent was to consider both.
I've kinda covered both in my replies, I guess.

Also: best prog album of the 90s, Tool can't hold a fuckin' candle to Cynic's "Focus".
I gave it probably 4 or 5 full listens today at work, and it's not bad.
But I just can't sign off on the "Tool can't hold a candle" to them.
Still, not a bad album at all.
I'll definitely continue to listen to it.

That's a BOLD statement.
And just enough to make me check it out... thanks, muh man!
Anyway, back on topic, my best friend is strong into prog, he goes to "ProgPower" in Atlanta every year. So I get a taste of what it's all about. For me, prog metal has a lot of upside – very melodic, often a delicate balance of power and melody, and often features intricate guitar solos.
The only downside for me is many prog metal bands make me think of Iron Maiden.
Not that that's a bad thing, Maiden is OK with me, but too many with that same style sound gets repetitious fast, just like death/black metal and speed metal with their demon vocals and way-too-fast beats.
One of my favorites is Ark Burn The Sun
It sounds at different times like Ronnie James Dio, David Coverdell, and a little Bruce Dickinson as well (but just a little :lolo:).
HIGHLY recommended.
For old school, I was a huge Yes fan - Going For The One remains one of my favorite songs/albums of all time.
And like many bands, they are divided in my mind as pre-80s Yes and post-80s Yes.
There is no debate about pre-80s Yes. It's all certified legendary.
Post 80s is another matter, but I still love 90215 and Big Generator.
90215 was brutally overplayed, but the bottom line is it was a tremendous album.
City of Love stands out for me as an awesomely pounding groove-jam, with the added bonus of not getting radio play as a single.
Hold On, Changes, and Leave It are awesome, albeit overplayed (at the time) cuts.
Big Generator had Shoot High, Aim Low, my favorite, as well as Love Will Find a Way and Holy Lamb.
I still jam a Yes playlist at work from time to time.
I also have an unnatural tolerance for ELO as well, what can I say.
Showdown, Can't Get It Out Of My Head, Livin' Thing, Telephone Line, Don't Bring Me Down stand out.
Shutting up now...

10,000 Days – Tool

Monster Magnet – Spine of God
'cause I'm at work, it's Friday, and I need some old-school jam to keep the creative juices flowing.

Dark Side of the Moon
I'm in the midst of exposing my 14 year-old to as much of the classics as possible to balance his intake of System of a Down, Rise Against, etc.
He is a dedicated fan of Presence, the first I ever turned him on to.
A couple weeks ago we listened to Animals all the way through, and now it's in the truck when we're driving.
It's an extended task, but necessary.
I have my obligations as a parent, after all.

Who is the hottie in the video???
In the sig?
Christina Model
Google/YouTube her - she's a definite motorboater.

That's awful nice of you but you don't have to. Really.

Saw Styx in '77 for the Grand Illusion tour and it was awesome.
Man in the Wilderness was the encore and it's been one of my favorite Styx songs ever since.
Miss America is another cool non-radio song from Illusion that has a killer guitar solo.
I lost interest in their subsequent albums other than a couple hits like Blue Collar Man – most of my favorite Styx music is from Grand Illusion back.
Suite Madame Blue, Light Up, Loralei, Crystal Ball, and yes, Lady are all awesome rock songs that stand strong despite the sellouts Styx became.

I would feel the same way, and that is why i have never seen Lynyrd Skynyrd. I became a fan in early 1977, in my pre-teens, but the tragic day occurred before i was allowed to see concerts. Without Ronnie Van Zant it has never felt like Skynyrd to me... and of course Steve and Cassie Gaines are sorely missed, too. Ronnie was not replaceable. Tuesday's Gone With the Wind, my baby's gone with the wind... I did see Rossington/Collins Band, and as i recall, pretty damn good show (1981).
Just found this really awesome article: http://www.tennesseeconcerts.com/planecrash.html
Here's why I need my ass kicked...
The week before the crash they played Lakeland Civic Center and the day before that show came to the record store in Altamonte Mall (outside Orlando) - one of my friends got all 7 autographs on his wallet! And I didn't go.
Anyway, they saw the show (I wasn't able to come up with the money to go) and within a week came the end...
That Smell was mandatory on the Craig Powerplay on the ride to school every morning smoking buds.
17 was a crazy time.

Saw Skynyrd in 2000 with Rickey Medlocke on guitar - it was great, but I couldn't shake the feeling of watching a really good cover band.
Second Helping was the 2nd album I ever owned, and is without question one of the greatest albums ever.
EVERY song is a classic, and I Need You is probably my favorite Skynyrd song.
Here's a nice fix for all muh southern rockers out there - I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread yet. Guaranteed to stir your southern soul.
Pride & Glory, a side-project of Zakk Wylde, Ozzy's guitarist who also has his own band Black Label Society
And if you get the Re-issue/Re-mastered release you get a bonus CD that has a cool version of In My Time of Dying as well as a great cover of Black Sabbath's The Wizard and Beatles Come Together.
Here's 2 pretty good songs to check out:
Enjoy!
