Did no one go to see him in Milan?

I prefer Demon & Wizards. Underrated, sure, but they're still inferior to Purple & Zeppa.

I’m voting for Robi for the third time anyway. His perspective is the one I resonate with the most theoretically, even though in practice he’s talking about the DTs.

In my opinion, by constantly fighting against the stupid proggaroli, you have taken the argument too far. Oh, Dream Theater suck, but progressive music "shouldn't be touched," and neither should solos. What about Jimi Hendrix? All of Jimi's songs are beautiful... but damn it, the best moment in the song is when he grabs that inverted Strat and bites into it—there’s just no comparison for me. I can understand that for you it's an ornament, but you guys need to understand when we say it's totally awesome, okay? You talk a lot about a lack of instinctiveness; I think there’s tons of instinctiveness in a solo, especially since in live performances you change it up every time, it’s not always the same. What would (a simple example) The Wall be without Gilmour's solo? IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DT BE SPECIFIC and I’m with you, but don’t come telling me that solos are useless because the spirit of Jimi and Bonzo will wake you up tonight inflicting you with the worst pains. My favorite rock band is The Heads, who practically overlay some distorted solo for about 80% of their songs to create an interstellar storm. The songs have little form... and that’s exactly what’s beautiful, and it takes a lot of imagination. Or shall we talk about Miles Davis? I’m talking about the guy who made people play and then soloed over it... for about 60 albums. He has 60 albums of solos, one more beautiful than the other, all of them embroidered solos over a base. Dream Theater shit in heaps, always and forever (but the solo, no. There.)

Oh, but delimit the field otherwise I can't understand a thing. If you tell me that in HARD ROCK the solo is purely referential, okay, I’m in. See AC/DC, see the Zep ALBUM VERSION, I’m in. Because anyway it’s a structured thing, the solo is more or less always fitted in the same spot and I’m in, it’s a discussion with ninety thousand exceptions but I’m in. IN HARD ROCK THOUGH. And here I thought we were talking about PROG. If you’re talking about prog, that discussion doesn’t exist and doesn't hold up at all. First of all, you’re reasoning the solo as just a guitar and that makes no sense; in prog all the components take solos and not just the guitar, and most of the time the song is mostly made up of unions of small solos rather than anything else. In psychedelia the same, in jazz don’t even get me started, in fusion it’s even worse. Then this thing that if the solo is the best part of the song, the song is poorly done, makes me laugh. Example: Led Zeppelin. I listen to an album, and there are two little solos per song, I listen to them live and the songs last those two or three extra minutes... filled with solos, and I like the songs more. Moby Dick is a beautiful song, but what can I do if I get more hyped up with Bonham's solo?

Ohhh... too gray to read, come on Maurè, either write one at a time or it's hard to read, ecchèuòllas.

Saying that the functionality of a solo in a song is null doesn't make sense to me. The solo is often the best part of a piece. Whether you think "Emocorer" (does it exist?) is disgusting and repulsive, I understand, but trust me, a ton of people (myself included) enjoy the solo more than the rest of the song. Yeah.

Zion is a drugged and rude. There you go.

No, I didn’t think so. "In majority" is a bit vague, but we’re talking about billions of dollars, even the minority has a nice profit, right? Then, for alcohol… three liters of beer is nothing, just like a joint isn’t much. I was talking about alcohol, not three liters of beer. It’s scientifically proven that if you’re drunk (regardless of whether you need half a liter or a silo to get there, it doesn't matter), you can’t get it up; if you're devastated, you can. With weed, eh, and it’s scientifically proven that with cocaine you triple your sexual performance, mdma the same, and with lsd, I don’t know scientifically but from personal experience, it doubles the performance and triples the pleasure. If you’re drunk, you can’t get it up, period. I mean drunk, not three liters of beer, just drunk. Virility, less than zero. With this, I’m not saying hooray for drugs; I just want to say that you're talking nonsense.

Here is Mauro, and who is the OPEC made up of?
