The progressive rock thread

When I found out Marco Minnemann and Guthrie Govan dropped out of the Steven Wilson tour for another band they're involved in, I had to check it out. And damn, this is some really good prog.

These guys are touring right now. Caught the second show of the tour last night here in SF. Go see this. You must. Holy shit. What a freak show.

Also seeing Rush in Vegas in a couple weeks.

New Symphony X album came out this week. If you like any of their stuff, you'll probably like this.

I have no idea how humans are capable of this. I think Mangini's actually a machine.

I like after he adds shit and he looks at the camera with this, "it's that easy, ok?" expression.

For want of anywhere better I'll just put this here-

That is no way, shape, or form prog rock. I like the tune. But that's just a rock song man.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones voice is a little much.

From Orange County, CA. Painted Wives. Hard to describe.. I get a Mastodon meets Alice in Chains vibe from them for some reason. They're unsigned, but have a CD out on their own label.

Vocals are solid. Keyboard player getting the amount of face time keyboard players always get I see.

They have that indefinable something that gives them a unique sound. I listened to a couple on YouTube, excellent stuff!

Classic Prog:

Im not even kidding, Pope Francis is releasing a prog-rock album called Wake Up! | Consequence of Sound

-edit-

Holy shit the actual song on the SoundCloud is pretty damn good. Itappearslike the Pope has nothing to do with this other than the songs use one of his speeches. He isn't the one lighting the guitar on fire.

New album due in December

One of the most depressing songs ever.

Steven Wilson just announced a new EP that will be released on January 22. Contains some leftover tracks from the HCE and Raven sessions.

What did you all think of the new David Gilmour album? The opening song was great and then the second song made the whole album 'meh' for me. Wish he would make another album exactly like division bell / on an island. I just love those chilly melodic guitars.
