Whats the point?... I'd have a pretty hard time trying to pick one out of nearly 500 posts of the same ol' bullsh*t.



Dream Theater still blows.


You misspelled Kurt Cobain on the guitarist poll.


Yet you having better grammar and apparantly having a music degree makes you smarter than me.

Hypoooooooooooooooooooooooocriiiiiiiiiiiiiiite.



Exactly which are the sarcasm parts, the being a well paid critic/music grad part?... Haha very funny, can you leave MB now?... Pretty please, with sugar on top.

I play Guitar/Banjo/Keyboard/Harmonica... You dont see me bragging.

NO I WASNT WRONG.

Which is why i would say Tates was somewhere between 3 and 3.5, regardless i know for a fact his is higher than LaBries, like Hendrix mentioned earlier, he has problems reaching lower notes.

You need to study Keith Emerson a little bit more.

Point is, you dont even go into detail to explain why he's the best, other than his music degree, and you say it like hes the only musician out there with a highly trained musical background.

You're copping out.

If you cant explain to me how John Petrucci is better than Shawn Lane or Lenny Breau, then you have little reason to remain on this forum if you cant have a reasonable debate, which is what forums are suposed to be for.

I don't give examples??? I always list several tracks to help with my points.

Funny, i do too, but you always laugh them off maybe without even having heard the songs i mention, which is ok when you do it, when i do it, its bad.

I swore you did, anyway you said i couldnt name 5 better, and i named 30.

Yeah, you're very well liked on this forum alright... Cheeseman, Murder Junkie, Bungalowbill, Crowquill, Urban, DontRunMeOver, Right-Track, Jibber, Mosesandtherubberducky, PerfectionThruSilence and LesPaul43 especially.

I have seen you bring up your musical background while arguing with others, admit it, you express the same smug atitude to everyone you argue with, including the posters who are nowhere as agressive as i am when it comes to arguing with a obnoxious rodent like yourself.


Any non prog metal prog bands?... Not including ones with members of Dream Theater.



You made the very first blow when you first came to this forum and mocked my musical taste and credibility, all because i dont consider DT mighty prog gods like you do.

You kept making remarks about how i knew nothing about prog, and you didnt even f*cking know me, you still dont know me, but you came out of nowhere and criticized me, and i didnt even freakin' remember you from being on this forum, why?... Because you just joined, and you were already insulting people, primarly me.


You brag about being a critic all the damn time.

btw, i find it odd that you once said to me that you had written nearly a hundred reviews, yet now you say its somewhere around the teens... Funny.

Point is, i was someone who actually enjoyed listening to prog, real prog, so yes, i do think i would know more about it than you do, since you dont even like prog rock in general... Because you know some prog metal bands dosent mean you're instantly a prog expert, especially when you are pretty closed minded to the genre as a whole.

Thats certainly something you would say.

Me, and every poster, including yourself, has pwned your ass at some point in time, and when i say one point in time i mean everytime you post and someone responds.

I proved you wrong about LaBries vocal skills (or lack there of), i even got a friend of mine to register here just to help make it official, and his case was pretty solid, i'm right, you're wrong, the end.

Its Kurt, NOT Curt.

Judging my personality on my opinion. It wasn't called for, was it?

The point is that there is none. If there were nearly 500, wouldn't that mean it would be extremely easy for you to pick one? lol

I said it made them relatively knowledgable. Don't you understand what that means? It doesn't contradict with the fact that having a musical degree most likely means you're more knowledgable in music than one without.

That's because there's nothing to brag about. You probably wish you were more competent in music theory, which isn't to say I brag about it, I'm just assuming your character by your arrogant traits.

Actually Hendrix never dismissed my claims.

I already explained this. And when did you explain why Emerson is the best? It's extremely hard to do and like I said, I would in a different context.

Everything's about proofs with you isn't it? What you don't get is that I don't care about trying to explain something to you that you're just going to tell me i'm wrong to anyway.

Putting words in my mouth again I see. This doesn't make sense, I never said you didn't list examples (which seems to be your point). Me laughing them off means I find them to be bad examples. In other words, our opinions differ, get over it.

So are you saying it's a fact that those 30 are better?

Last time I checked there were 10,091 members of this forum, and I'm pretty sure those examples don't make up that number. And I don't think cheeseman or DontRunMe over hate me that much. And I don't even know Jibber, so I'm guessing that's wrong too.

No you haven't because it never happened; I never used my background as a point for my arguments.


Yeppy. Only small ones though.

Simply not true. It all started with me saying TMV aren't prog like you said previously, don't change your story. The DT thing came way after, and you're the one that obviously started that one; when I listed them as my fav band you took a shot at me.

I might have said that I don't consider TMV to be prog and tried explaining why, but I didn't make any insulting remarks except possibly for ones as a laugh. And don't reverse/steal my point about you not knowing me please.

I actually haven't. Just because I have pointed it out when you insult my intelligence it doesn't mean I'm bragging.

Hundreds? Yeah I guess I have written that many unprofessional reviews for critics, friends and on forums, etc. But not that many where I was paid for them though.

I think I've said it before that I've studied almost every single style of rock and have listened to them all thoroughly. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean I know nothing about it or haven't listened to it.
If I was close-minded, why do I have so many prog albums? I have all PF's, all Yes', all KC's, Genesis, etc, etc.

So you came up with one example and I wasn't wrong. You PROVED me wrong? How? by listing numbers that you could have just made up? Nicely done with the proof there. I was actually closer to a proof when I said I would scan the pages which shows LaBrie's highest and lowest notes (I would have done it by now but my scanner isn't working 'cause my bro broke it I think). When you see them you'll probably say "it's wrong." Moreover, how can you possibly know that LaBrie doesn't have a four octave range? Even if he didn't record it, it doesn't mean anything...obvious but valid point that you've missed.

It's 'an' obnoxious, not 'a.' And that wasn't my typo anyway, it was a tiny little typo with his last name.

boo boo

No, because you are an asshole on every single one of them.



Tell that to Paul Mccartney.

Knowing you, you probably do think you know music better than he does, i would like to hear some of your brillant work, i bet it pwns everything The Beatles has ever done.

A lot of great musicians have trained themselves without the need for deep knowledge in theory or sheet music, Flea cant read sheet music, nor can Steve Howe... And they are two of the most well respected musicians in their field.

Oh yes he did, he explained vocal skill quite well, and hes a classically trained singer, which probably gives him more knowledge than you on the subject at hand.


Have you heard Tarkus, Karn Evil 9 or Take A Pebble?... Or anything off Pictures At A Exibition?... Im willing to send you some tracks, i'll also throw in some Wakeman just to be a good sport.

Well, if it looks like a duck.....

And thats exactly how i feel, we're just not on the same page, thats all.

Your page is the ignorant, pompus buffoon page.

What you dont understand is that skill can be accurately measured, and i talk to guitarists all the time, including music students, most of them could name 30 better guitarists, and i named the ones that get the most praise from musicians who consider them better than Petrucci.

I just know they are more talented players, more versatle, better at improv and much more creativity to compliment their skill and craft.


Ok maybe not Jibber, Cheeseman hates you though, i can garantee that.

Point is, all those 10,091 posters are not regulars, the regulars in general hate your guts.


You have already used it in this post so far.


Names.

You took a shot at me for saying they are not prog, then i took a shot back at you for being such a fanboy...Thats how i remember it.

Point is you were already attacking me and you didnt know me...I have rights to take shots back, my shots are just more agressive than yours.

Tell that to Crowquill, he had to endure a lot of crap from you.


Thats not what i remember.

Listen to Yes's Schooldays and tell me they're not better than Dream Theater.

They were numbers that Hendrix noted to me on AIM.

How do you know?

It hasnt been heard on record, i recall that Hendrix has heard most of DTs material, as have i, and i dont hear this amazing range, if you can prove it, dont be reluctant.

A typo is a typo, you're a hypocrite.

A point I never argued. But I'm of the belief that better musicans do know their theory.

I've heard them but don't own PaaE. Those examples don't beat Rudess' solos in "Blind Faith" or "Acid Rain." Karn Evil 9 isn't all that impressive, not a good example there.

I don't get this, you made a point about talking to musicians...I'm a musician. I don't need to talk to them (but I do anyway).

Unsigned ones like Dillon's Route, Midnight Swim, Relliger, etc. I don't despise prog, and I used to love it but I moved on and find artists like Genesis and Jethro Tull to be lame.

I've seen DVD's (backstage) displaying it as well.

boo boo

You would think that with all of that knowledge in theory those Dream Theater boys could make some decent music, oh well...

Have you even heard the whole goddamn thing or just the single version?...Which is just the second part of the 1st impression, Emersons skill really shines on the 2nd and 3rd impressions, come on know.

You havent heard much ELP, or else you would know better.

You also need to check out some of Wakemans solo stuff, as dull as the actual music may be, his skills on the keys are a unavoidable highlight, i can tell you with all of my heart, he is better than Rudess.

Only these musicians dont talk out of their ass and when they say something, they prove it.

Well its great to know that your tastes have evolved to appreciate the superior likes of Dream Theater and Dragonforce.

How were you able to measure his range?

And i doubt whoever said that is correct, musicians have a tendacy to make stuff up about themselves.
