$70 for the Downey Show?? damn that seems like a lot of money. But i'll prolly do it, cause i'll never see them again prolly

 

[truemindframe]

YES!

 

[zedowns]

Jesus. $70?

With all the shows coming around early next year, I'm gonna have to pass on this one.

 

[Qrusher14242]

i know, i'm gonna see Redemption, Primal Fear and Hammerfall next year. Trying to decide if i can make the Downey show or not. I dont recall neal morse's concert there being that much, but i cant remember, its been a while heh

 

[TwizstedJesus]

Does anybody even follow Neil Morse anymore? The whole God thing ruined an awesome musician in my opinion. It was too much of trying to force religion down everybodies throat. Saying that, it was nice to see Transatlantic back together

I've got a friend that is into the religious thing, and he has kept up with him since leaving Spock's Beard. He had some in the car one day when we were going to lunch, and honestly, if you didn't listen to the lyrics, you wouldn't think anything had changed. That was only part of who knows which album I heard though.

Would like to catch the TA show somewhere, but not for $70.

I think the SF show will be very special at the Palace of Fine Arts...Not sure what the cost of the tickets are to be yet though,hopefully lower than Calprog....

Let's see... I enjoy maybe 3 songs by Transatlantic.

I hate Neal Morse's new "I wanna be your pastor, let's get our hands together and go hug Jesus Christ attitude."

I hate how progsnobs will be all over this show.

Plus, for $70 dollars? Yeah right.

Funny..... Since what I like about his newer solo material is that while it is religious, it is not preachy. It has either been conceptually based (ala the Martin Luther album) or deeply personal (ala Testimony) but has never bothered me by being overly aggrandizing as often times it can be.....

 

[johan68]

I'd pay $ 170 to see Transatlantic... Might have to travel to Philly for this one.

Statements like these crack me up on this board. I admit to not being a Neal Morse fan. With that said, it seems to be ok to sing about everything from elves to Satan to metal will live forever, but Heaven forbid a guy/band sing about their faith. Oh yeah...pardon the pun.

Well, and it's a pretty ignorant statement to assume that I'm only referring to metal bands preaching. I can't stand preaching, period. It has nothing to do with being a band singing. I give no respect to people who try to shove religion down others throats, and that's exactly what Neal Morse has been doing lately.

So next time, think about before saying something like that. It cracks me up that you get all bent out shape because apparently, people have different beliefs than yours.

 

[nomisofsiman]

I had a bad feeling this post was going to turn into this. My personal opinion on him is he's a great musician. Yeah, he does the religious stuff, but my thinking is to be as open-minded as can be. I listen to black metal even though I don't agree and I listen to Morse. I don't feel the guy is trying to convert anyone and I'm pretty much anti-religious.

AngraRULES, by the looks of your statement, you're the one with his panties in a wad. I could care less what you listen to or what you believe to be honest. I'm pretty sure that the others that read your post will agree with me, that you jumped down my throat.

Yes, bands like Neal's, Throcracy, and Rob Rock take a slagging from time to time, as do the black metal bands. With that said, none of them seem to really care! I'm like you, I listen to stuff that I don't agree with as well.

Understood Brian, sorry but I didn't mean to sound so much as if I was jumping down your throat. It sounded to me like you were in a way mocking the fact that I had made that comment, so I felt the same way.

 

[Qrusher14242]

i enjoy Neal's solo work, but cringe whenever he talks about jesus. It wasnt bad when he was with Spocks Beard and talked about it, cause he wasnt being so explicit about it. Even the new TA album has parts that are bad. Like the final song. I mean, we knwo he's religious, we get it. Can he please start singing about something else?

 

[edgeofthorns]

My post was meant for more "tongue in cheek", hence the elves and Satan references. Plus, the heaven forbid pardon the pun thing. Anyway, I can understand why people get turned off by overtly religious themes as well as overtly "black" themes. Everyone has limitations and thresholds for this type of thing. Personally, I get very bored with the "syrupy sweet", "praise Jesus" lyrics and very turned off by "black metal" lyrics. I guess I fall in between those two descriptions. I like more of a subtle religious approach and on the other end of the spectrum, I like "dark"/gothic themes.

[h3adlesshors3man]
