U f@%$in' @&%*#@

U r hunging out with Neil Peart?!!!

And recording him?!

For what exactly?

Spit it out...(dont swallow the poison...)

More info on our myspace page. But all will be revealed later. I opened a thread about Neil in our forum as well (to avoid confusion... this one is for Phil).

We ARE sampling Neil too but there's much more to the project than that. It's pretty cool! I have to head over to the studio right now in fact.

Catch you guys later. Too bad we can't do a live feed.

dunanparsons: Thanks very much for the info! I'll have to check out the UK info/music. I love Holdsworth, too, but the first I heard him was on "Metal Fatigue" in the late 80's.

The overall sound was far more fresh and clean than any prog that had gone before, but they appeared during the ashes of punk and the transition to New Wave, and so commercially were never going to match the artistic appeal.

Yes, sadly this has happened to a number of very talented musicians whose styles were not commercially "en vogue." I think of Dream Theater (Images & Words released in 1992 coninciding with Grunge); Smashing Pumpkins (Gish also released in 1992...kinda Grunge-y, but not Nirvana, so they weren't popular until the radio hits started with Siamese Dream); King's X (first album released in 1988, not aligning with Hair Metal/Guns & Roses and never were commercially successful for other reasons no one can determine). I'm sure the list goes on!
