Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd.

That is without question BUT there is nothing major about the opening riff to Godhead's Lament. Don't want to make this into a "That's not a tritone-substitution it's a Lydian Dominant 6-5-1!!11123 ZOMG."

^ Regardless of the key, the beginning riff is a minor riff, just listen to it. Just trying playing the GMaj chord along to the beginning and you'll see that it doesn't work at all.

I think The Lotus Eater and Heir Apparent would be awesome.

Cool video. Wow many of the things in the current guitarpro of Heir Apparent are wrong, I'll try to fix them and post it up.

I say definitely get Damnation for their heavy, intense stuff. :)

Shit that was an insane show!!! Heir Apparent The Grand Conjuration Serenity Painted Death Hope Leaves The Lotus Eater The Night and the Silent Water Bleak Deliverance Demon of the Fall Encore: The Drapery Falls

I'll be there. I wonder if they'll play Heir Apparent because they played it at the Prog Nation LA show, I hope they do, it'll be a completely different experience now that we're more familiar with the song.

I find the intro of the tritonic chords and dissonance very reminiscent of the more avant-garde jazz, think Theolonius Monk, "There aren't any wrong notes, just jazzy improvisations." And the drum groove is very much like some drum grooves I hear all over jazz records, I'm not a drummer so I've...

The song Air by Atheist has some jazz influence that's apparent, at least for me. Again it's not the classic jazz that we all know and love but it's a variation of that. I have come to learn that everything changes and the rock my dad used to listen to in the 60's is a lot different than what we...

From what I heard they are clearly influenced by jazz, not necessarily Herbie Hancock, but some of the more contemporary jazz artists, avant-garde metal is very influenced by the more improvisational side of jazz, rather than the smooth stuff. But isn't everything we hear an interpretation of...

Honestly, I don't want to get into a whole debate with you, this forum doesn't need another one. So don't start one. Having studied Jazz piano for a couple of years and learning to think outside a simple C Major scale or G Dorian or F Be-Bop was the hardest part, that bold statement is...

He had an awesome voice. Especially on Summer '68 and Let There Be Light, reminds me of latter day Lennon. But the best vocal with him in it is Echoes when he's harmonized with Gilmour. That's just orgasmic.

RIP

Not necessarily, saying are would imply it's more of a sum of the parts sort of thing. Think about this analogy: Before the Civil War it was the United States are. Now after the Civial War it's the United States is. Hope that made sense.
