Nope. Song-length is not a dictum of Prog. Power Metal is Power Metal, Prog Metal is Prog Metal. I've seen Gamma Ray live and they are Power Metal.
So you're a reptile. Your deductive logic is impeccable.
Is that a rhetorical question?
lol.

Are you the AntiWalter? i.e. a vengeful demon sent up from the fiery abyss to which he was condemned for serial trolling about the iniquities of music post 1989? BTW That's a JOKE, I don't expect you to know who the infamous Walter was round these parts y'all ![]() Edited by ExittheLemming - March 06 2014 at 07:29 |

A new nutter, yay! Benign trolls always bring out the funniest posts from the humorous bunch here. For lack of a pop corn icon I'll have to bring out the beer one. Cheers!

You need to visit your GP, they normally don't prescribe them to people your age unless your diet consists entirely of lard...

That explains why you're STILL ONLINE AFTER I'VE WOKEN UP!! either that or you're some crazed maniac who decided to quit her job simply to be a "Professional Prog Archives Forumer", which, come on, you know it has to have happened before...
Nutter? What are you, British? Oh, my bad, SWEDISH. I would make some potentially offensive joke about Sweden, however, considering many of my favorite bands (Golden Resurrection, Eclipse, Europe) are potentially from around that area, and that apparently all good Melodic Metal has apparently been banished to Sweden in recent years, I would betray myself with that remark. Ha, this isn't a show for three users to watch silently-- LOL I guess it shows even though people aren't writing, it doesn't mean they aren't reading. Weird cause this thread could have about 4 followers that are silent hawks waiting in the Great Wildebeast of Quiet-Forumness, simply to strike whenever someone says something outrageous like "ALL PROG IS LOUSY!"* *Please note, StaaViinsZ is exempt from all possible flame war repercussions that this, obviously, UNINTENDEDLY ATROCIOUS remark may or may not have upon this thread, other threads, private Admin discussion threads (should there be such a thing), or the rest of the forum in general, including possible discussions on other music forums.
Awkward...
Does this mean they like my humor?
Well, no, not entirely, just mostly, with a large percentage of Bean Curd & Tofo thrown in. As I always say, if you can't have fat, why not have something equally as nasty that they cut into cubes or strips? Actually, forget lard, I going to start living off of scones-- THOSE THINGS ARE GOOD.
Okay, first of all, it's incredibly awesome that you've actually seen Gamma Ray live. Once I get past the silver haze that fills my eyes after hearing that a woman (?) saw Gamma Ray, which basically totally rips my judgment and makes me think you're the most beautiful thing in the world, I actually have a few comments. Well, NO, Song-Length is NOT a "Dictum" of Prog. But would you be willing to admit that a 9 minute track with at least 2 mood changes could be SLIGHTLY PROGRESSIVELY INFLUENCED-- without actually being Prog?
Okay, so maybe I'm in the club of weird avatars-- but I was never compelled to stick a woman avatar in front of all my posts-- I mean, this is the face that goes with all your posts, it affects everything from the way people look at you to how they react to your comments. If I don't want people looking at me like I'm a girl-- why would I make my avatar a picture of one? Also, though, on another note, if you are a woman, then why is your name "Dean", and why didn't you name yourself, at least for the forum, something like "Floriana" or "Jeanell181"? These are the things that confuse me.
The question was directed at me, so, yes, it wasn't intended for you to answer it, but by all means, if you feel you have the answer, feel free to spit out your chewing tobacco on your Yessongs record and tell it to me.
Oh, come on, I been trying to get a "A-Okay", a "Alright", maybe even a "AWWWW", but nobody does it. It's like sticking your hand out there for a Fist Bump and getting denied... You just sit there staring sad-faced at the other person, and it irrevocably scars your mood for the next 10 minutes.
By the way, can I ask why you type in like, CRAZY STUPID GIANT FONT, are you like, blind or something? I mean, sure, I've been known to blurt out a inane comment at ALL CAPS on size 52 color red before, (Ask for example link to see one ) but what's up with this size 22 thing you have going on, 100% of the time? And no, I don't know who "Walter" was. But I can tell you that I'm no "Vengeful Demon" or even "Benign Troll"... Well, maybe just a little "Benign Troll"-ISH, but for the most part I'm different from typical trolls. I avoid saying any obscene comments and I try not to make rude personal remarks. That said, even when I'm serious, I try to be funny, which, therefor, obtains me at least an HONORARY PLACE in the "Troll Dungeons Hall Of Fame", just because I was so influential in the development of later trolls. Not saying I am a troll, but for pioneering my style of posting, at least an honorary status of Troll is expected. (anybody getting the joke here from the "Classical Influence Prog" Thread?) So, in closing, I wish peace to the Brothers of the Tree with which the Wind of the Willow Wisps nigh does shine down upon their hairy noggins. Anybody who can figure out what that means, 3 stars to them. StaaVi |

I'm thinking whatever he is on comes in suppository form; either that, or he has spent too much time looking for a melody line in a Yngwie Malmsteen song.

I wish I could buy you a pint of your favorite, Steve! I lean towards Murphy's Stout (a lesson I learned on the train from Exeter to London).
