I finally got my desktop computer running again... which means Guitar Pro 3 time! Just for fun, and to get back into things, I thought I'd challenge myself: I want to compose a MIDI track that sounds like it could've been straight off of one of the following bands' albums. I want to try to...

Hey, Ken. I was hoping you could recommend me some bands/albums I can get off of your site. I've done extensive searching and have found basically every progressive metal band I can find and purchased the ones I like. I was wondering if there are any bands you have listed as Progressive Rock...

I recently purchased Dali's Dilemma's Manifesto for Futurism and love it. This is the only album they've ever released (released in 1999) and the band is no longer together. This has got me wondering what other bands out there have only released 1 album before no longer existing. What are...

Here's a video of an amazing drum performance by Gavin Harrison (Drummer of Porcupine Tree and Modern Drummer's prog drummer poll winner, I believe). It's an extremely tasteful, technical, and just beautiful sounding performance. The video is in 3 parts (part 2 being my favourite) and I thought...

I've called all the CD stores around here (including HMV in Toronto) and none of them are getting any PL special editions in. Amazon.ca and Amazon.com do not have special editons listed either. Play.com doesn't allow Canadian accounts... so I really don't know how I'm going to get PL SE. Can...

I was wondering if there are any people out there who can help me achieve a good bass drum sound. I've been playing the electric kit a lot over the last few months, and just the other day, I went back to the acoustic set, and the bass drum just sounds like shit. You really notice after playing...

When you first tear open the shrinkwrap, open the case and pop in the CD (after smelling that new CD smell, of course), how are you going to listen to Paradise Lost for the first time? What are you going to be doing? Where are you going to listen to it? I've never anticipated an album as...

Hello, guys 'n' gals. I'm here to talk about the band Cairo. They are a prog' rock/metal band with a large focus on great progressions, ceative writing and lengthy solos. They sometimes have more of a "jamming" feel than say, SymX or DT, which I find refreshing. I have the album Conflict &...

Hello, guys and gals. I've decided to make a thread where one can ask their fellow members for help on analyzing musical parts, providing tips on how to play certain riff/beats, or anything musical that may require assistance. The reason I came up with this idea is beacuse I've been trying...

What are some of the things you'd love SymX to do/achieve before they are no longer a band? I'm sure we'd all love a live DVD. One thing I'd love for them to release is a "1 song album" (i.e. Green Carnation's LoD,DoD) but obviously in the vein of SymX. I would love a 70+ min song :rock:

I was browsing the net, and I had come across this interview with Russell. I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but if so, I appologize. Enjoy :kickass: http://www.progressiveworld.net/allenrinterv.html

As I had asked in another thread, but was never answered: Does SymX record their parts, and then overwrite everything with a constant sound? My friend at work was telling me that drums are usually overwritten completely with a constant, I guess MIDI, that was recorded by the drummer. Also can...
