    Complete SymX noob

    Is not strange that we found out about a band through another. All I can say is that Rush got me in to Prog, I was just a kid when Tom Sawyer came out, but I fell in love with the constant changes in Neal Peart's drums, then I found out about Queenryche and Fates Warning. After that I kind of...

    Story of Divine Wings / Paradise Lost

    That's the point, if not it will be so boring.:yuk: I think of songs like masterpieces, in this case you get to listen to them. That's why I read about the "concept" of an album, I just analyze the lyrics and draw my own conclusions.:rock:

    Well Leo ATIB brought something that Prog Fans from PR needed, a Local Prog Band, a good one indeed. We only need a Dream Theater Concert on the island :) . Mike Portnoy words on the clinics last year were "PR is ready for DT". That will be a dream come true. Go ATIB the sky is the limit...

    Opinions on the new Symphony X CD...

    In my opinion this one is their best. As always a very good long track where they lay their abilitties to take over. The lyrics are powerfull and their style aggressive. My best friend even liked it, he usually doesn't like prog rock because of the singing styles. There's a good balance between...

    hello there

    Hey Loco; My favorite genre is Prog RocK, and like you I listen to a lot of metal too to keep my blood flowing :grin: As I stated before I was amazed with the ATIB cd, actually my kind of style, aggresive drums and bass. I expect a terrific day view for ATIB and I'll be there.....

    ATIB on Alfa Rock 105.7!!!!!

    It will be a good thing if they play the song every day, and states that they area local band. There are a lot of fans in this music genre in PR, we just have to educate the rest :D

    Welcome to the new forum!

    Leonardo; Just missed you guys when you visited Pentagrama in Mayaguez, a friend(Maya) that worked there told me that the production was great. My question is do you have the schedule for your performances around PR?
