Alice In Chains - Facelift

Alice In Chains - Facelift

It's good. Next to ITTOD it's probably considered their weakest (not counting Coda of course). However, I much prefer ITTOD as controversial as that opinion is. Achilles Last Stand is definitely the best track on Presence imo.

I don't have anything planned but I woud like to see Peter Gabriel. If I go it will probably be a last minute decision.

This little band that some of you might have heard of called Yes is dropping (man, I hate that term) a new album next week called Mirror To The Sky. Historically, I'm a huge fan but based on the little I heard so far I'm not super excited by it.

No. I am not Pete.

Sad news. I wanted to play my compilation cd I have of his but the latest Porcupine Tree was hiding in it's place. Oh well. RIP Gordon.

I'll have to think about it. I probably know Pete Pardo better than anyone here and I have to say some of these options seem a bit petty and mean spirited (even if meant in jest). For one thing he's been married for a long time and is very busy so I doubt he has any time to waste on someone on here (no offense to Blueschica who I'm sure is very lovely in her own right). With a handful of exceptions Pete has probably done more for prog and hard rock than anyone I can think of and is one of the most dedicated and passionate music fans there is.

My brother is a big fan of them. I'm a moderate fan at best. I find it interesting that they are now playing stadiums when I can think of bands who are more legendary who are playing arenas if not smaller. Oh well. I suppose at this point they are one of those bands where the parents and kids are into them.

No concerts lined up unfortunately. I also wouldn't mind seeing PG but tickets are too much and I don't really go to shows by myself anymore.

Gentle Giant is a band every progressive rock fan should know about and listen to. RIP Ray.

Driven (all of TFE album)

Rush - Roll The Bones

You Bet Your Life (finishing up listening to RTB)

It's nice to know people are keeping tabs on me here. ;) Actually I posted in late February on the main page. I basically come and go. I'm not really a "regular" member on here.

#3. I don't really do favorites much anymore but I'll just go by what I considered my favorites in the past. Rush was (and I guess still are) number 2 for me behind Yes. Yes will probably always be number one even though they kind of lost their way a while ago. Rush at least knew when to hang up the hat and call it quits.

I've only seen Rush four times with a twenty year gap between shows. My first was on the Hold Your Fire tour in the fall of 1987.

I think Rush became "cool" again when they returned to a heavier approach with Counterparts. I regret not seeing them then.

I saw a show where the whole top part was blocked off because they didn't sell enough tickets. But I also saw an outdoor show that must have had about 25 to 30,000 in attendance (if not more). I had rather good seats on the floor and remember doing a lip synch contest with the guy next to me to "circumstances."

I guess what I meant was I don't understand why you are asking me that.

I don't understand the question.
