WOW, I'm overwhelmed, thanks sooo much for the warm welcome, guys. I'v never been welcomed so warmly before on any chatforum, and I'v been on many, tellya. And I can already see from the posts here that the regulars are decent and cultured people. So this sure is propitious.
I spent three years on the Arena board The Shattered Room. (Anyone here know of Arena ?) That was great and I got to know lots of fantastic music thru those guys. Lately, several of the active posters there left, and I became the main poster, the daily entertainer. I got tired of this one-sidedness, and over the years I'v also become more metal, so I think I'l feel more at home here on the Priest Noticeboard. Man, there's so much going on here !!!
The worst experience I had was on the Neverboard, the official Nevermore board - avoid that forum, guys ! Pity, cause I really like Nevermore, and Jeff's soloalbum is a bomb. (Any other Nevermore fans here ?) The Neverboard is guarded by a tiny cabal of incredibly nasty people who don't in the least restrain themselves in insulting newcomers. Whooo, I still shudder at the thought.
So I fully understand the filters set up by the administrators of the Priest Board. I know that there are a lotta offensive people around in Cyberworld.
Yup, I feel really great here with nice people like you guys who seem to know masses about rock, and it's like an adventure reading all the exciting posts here.
OK, on-topic: I'm listening to, whilst I'm burning, a "Starters Kit For Prog" that I'm making as a Christmas present for my friends. And guess what: There are three tracks from Nostradamus on it: Sands Of Time, Pestilence And Plague, and Lost Love.
The rock scene in Denmark is pretty miserable. In the radio they play hiphop, r'n'b and sentimental stuff like Beatles and Queen - and worst of all: That's what my friends think is rock !
So therefore the Starters Kit (also including nice stuff by Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Queensr�che and other great groups).
And I'd think that this lengthy post should give me at least three respect points.
