My prog theory

[urinalcakemix]

I only read this thread because I thought there was gonna be punch and pie.

 

[dargormudshark]

This thread is funny.

I am just start making comparisons just to get prog fans in an uproar. :Spin:

I really think everyone dug my equal sign when comparing.

My dad said this one so don't get mad at me.
Ayreon=Alan Parsons Project

not because they sound alike but they have the same type recording process. That being their is the leader and he has a bunch of guests and their concept albums too.

There's one band that's often labeled as a kind of successor to King Crimson: Tool.

It doesn't take much! :Spin:

 

[The Stormbringer]

Ayreon --> Alan Parsons Project

Discuss.

 

[dargormudshark]

I like the human equation alot but the other stuff I'm not crazy about. If you guys have any other suggestions I am open because I want to hear more stuff like the human equation. I like APP too but I do not love them. It's kind of indecisive who I like more. I would have to here more of each.

"Into the Electric Castle" all the way, babeee!

True words there. While there's more to SX than Kansas-isms (Accolade, Rediscovery), that parallel is more appropriate than the DT-Rush one. DT is more like nowadays' version of Deep Purple: five virtuosos who aren't afraid to show off like there's no tomorrow, but tend to lose their focus from time to time. Rush never did that.

Yeah, ya got me there. Rush doesn't show off nearly as much as DT. The other day I was thinking of SX as a modern-day Deep Purple. DP was very heavy for their time, they were all pretty virtuosic, and they even had a little bit of classical influence.

There are elements of Kansas and Rush in pretty much all modern prog bands.

 

[dargormudshark]

I will say Kansas is the symphony x of the 70's.

A modern DP or Rainbow would be a power metal band probably. Fireball was probably the first of it's nature, it had the 16th note double bass in it.

This tree is a joke, BUT:​

I seriously think that band D was influcenced by band C that was influenced by band B that was influenced by band A that was influenced by band A-1 and vice-versa: band D will certainly influence band E which will influence band F which will influence band G and so forth...or probably band F was inspired by band D that was influenced by band C, but band C was inspired by band A and not band B ​

All the music an artist hear since her/his childhood will automatically influence her/him so I find it difficult to say Symphony X = Kansas nor PoS = KingCrimson IMHO​

 

[Metal-X]

When talking about DT I see lots of Pink Floyd. Mainly on the "Scenes from a Memory" album. They do a great job creating the Pink Floyd style on that one. I see the Rush-ness on Awake a lot.

this has been the biggest waste of time ever. I think only one person actually pointed out that they have metal influences as well.

And matt, why do you say Blind Guardian is the metal equivilant of queen. is it because they are so gay?

"atthecreation: but explain why you say BG is gay
AbrasiveZach: the part in welcome to dying where hansi sings about two guys having buttsex with each other"

Is that really true.

 

[theodyssey]

Um...no

 

[Metal Immortal]

I would say... no. I have compared Symphony X to Kansas, but not when thinking about the whole band in general. Perhaps a few songs may remind me of Kansas, but mostly, when I hear Symphony X, I think of ULTIMATE POWER.

Look at my homepage to see what I mean by ultimate power!!!!!!
