You Scored as Wind and Wuthering
Wind and Wuthering (1976). You are an old fashioned romantic. Yearning and wistful you are. You are quite traditional. Shy and introverted, you keep to yourself and like to explore things. At times you can be quite sad, and other times very joyful.

You Scored as Peter Gabriel
You are like Peter Gabriel. Poised, reserved, yet peaceful, you are determined to stand up for the rights of the oppressed. You prefer to have a laid back lifestyle. You are critically acclaimed by your peers, and they look up to you. You might enjoy Italian culture, and like a little bit of romanticism. The workings of the human mind fascinates you. Most likely friend types are those like Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford.

- Please check out the music on my page. The blog tells the story of David Longdon, the vocalist many thought would be the obvious replacement for Phil Collins.

How're you doing? :)
Huahuahuahuahua!
I was just kidding!
Ok, so they're Canadian, not British! ;p
I'll check them!
And they have a nice list of influences! Including Genesis too! ;)
I guess I'll download the Shrine gig from your page so I can listen to it as a whole, and then I let you know about it later, ok? =)
Well, have a great weekend! =D
Kiss!

- Hi there!
Rush...The name is familiar...Ok! I'll check them out!
Thanks for the tip! :)
By the way, are they British by any chance...?? lol
Wow! How Great!!!
I haven't listened to the whole thing, but the first piece is just amazing!!
I liked it when Peter says "Good evening, LA, LA!" lol
And that was quite an enthusiastic audience!!
No wonder why...!
And Tony's keyboards at the beginning sound just great!!
Thanks for sharing!!! :DDD
I'll have a listen to it all when I get time too!!
All right! Good luck with the bootleg researching!
Hope you can give us conclusions anytime soon!
Have a good week! :DD
Kisses & Hugs!

- Hello!
Oh yes, I know, Genesis was formed in 1967 and KC in 1969, but it's only two years of difference.
And as you said, Genesis was influenced by KC at its beginning too! :)
I can picture that!
He's not a kid anymore, but he still has got the energie of one!
...But I guess that in many ways, he keeps the child inside him quite alive and active, so you're right, we could say that he's still a kid! ;)
Yes! No dates have been settled yet, but I'm keeping my eye sharp for news, so as soon as the rumours are confirmed, I'll let you know!! ;p
It'll be the most exciting thing I've evr done to watch PG perofrm live...!! lol
That's very interesting, and now that you said it, I recalled that there was once a discussion at school about the symbolic meaning of the egg and the reason for chocolate eggs at Eastern. I don't remember now what the meaning of the chocolate was, but the meaning for the eg was just that of a "new birth" or "ressurection", related to the ressurection of Christ...I really like to learn about this symboisms and mythology...! :)
Thanks for the encouragement!
I'm sure to take PG as an example to keep my curiosity and will to learn, play and experiment new things each day more! ;)
I agree with you! I love clssical music, it's the best!
And it's the best way to learn music indeed!
Another composer I also love is Bach!
Mainly, my favourite are the romantic ones! ;p
Good to know you're not an internet addicted of any kind, nor the stereotype of a legitimate nerd!
And in that case, I might say I'm some kind of nerd too, in many ways...! lol
That's good!
Keep being proactive and willingful, just remember to rest when you need to, and it'll be ok! :)
Yes, Syd was really great!
It is such a pity that his talent was wasted by the drugs...! =/
Yes, it should be great to watch PG here if he comes! ;DD
I'll see you "here"! lol
Have a good week!
Kisses! :)

- Hi!
Yes!
Well, though it's only knock and knowall, I like it! LOL
It is the truth indeed! And I always try to have that in mind when I see something that I feel is not quite right!
Thank you!!
That's very sweet of you! I apperciate it!! :)
Take your time, though. But when you do find out about it, I'll be very happy to know!! :DD
I'm learning a lot about KC's history from you!
How nice, they formed the band in 1969, so they're contemporany to Genesis...!
Yes! Fripp and Bewel could use some morals in Genesis' songs...! lol
Kidding!
But I hope they do clear this situation so that they can come back to performing together soon! :)
Oh I envy you!
You've seen PG twice already! lol
But it must have been fantastic to have seen him performing in Still Growing Up and the Warming Up Tour, indeed!!!
That'll be great if he comes here and you come to see him too!
We'll be seeing him together then! :DD
Hm....What could be one symbolic meaning for "egg"...??
You know, I'm very curious and fond of in these subjects related to symbolism of words, mysticism....It's all so interesting!!
I guess it's true!
PG is just incredibly charismatic! ;)
Thank you! I'll let you know when I start having my lessons! :)
Heheheh! It's true, I love PG's flute playing, he's a wonderful flutist!
I don't know if I'll ever be able to play like him if I learn how to, but I hope so...Who knows?? lol
I have to be honest with you, I don't know much about metal bands and their music, only a bit of Motörhead, and I'm getting to know KC now...Oh! And I do know AC/DC and Pearl Jam but I haven't heard much of their sound either...! :p
The only one I don't like among these is Iron Maiden...But the rest of them I find good from the little I know. =)
Oh I didn't know about that!
Steve was influenced by Chopin??
How great!
I love him! Oh and I love Bach and Satie too! And Tchaikovsky!
Nerdcore hiphop??
I don't know this style!
Hey, I didn't know you were a nerd too!! :p
You're welcome.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to warn you about that then!
Like I said, it's a very good thing that you're thus proactive, the only thing is that you have to know when to stop!
Literally! =p
But I'm sure your girlfriend must get that into your mind again when you lose "self-control"! lol
That's good!
Oh be sure to upload some of your songs whenever you get time to! :)
Yes, Syd is great! And so cute too...! :p
You're just right! These bands are the top on prog rock! :)
I like them a lot, but of course my favourite is Genesis! =p
Ok, I've been checking out PG's official site everyday to get the confirmed dates, whenever they update it, or if I find out before that, I'll let you know!
Then you tell me when you plan on coming! :D
Kisses & Hugs!!

- Hello!
I coudn't agree more with everything you said about Peter, I just need to say I feel the exact same way about him.
And his music, ideas, attitudes and manners really influenced the way I see and feel the world too, and changed the way I think about many subjects concerning on all sorts of the problems caused by mankind we find over the Earth.
I liked what you said about changing yourself to change the world around you, and I stick to that old quote "You have to be the change you want to see." And I think this couldn't be more true. :)
Yes, it would be very much exciting if you confirmed the recordings are from the last Lamb gig! :D
Whenever you get the assured date, let us know about it!
Really?
Their anniversary is on the 13th January??
It's a pity what occured, let us hope that Fripp and Belew can clear up this small misunderstanding and present us with a Mighty Crim performance again soon! :)
Yes! I'm really really anxious about it!!!
I suspect that he'll come to Brazil, well, it would make sense once he's coming to South America to come here too! He's coming to Argentina, so I guess he'll come to Brazil!
He's already been here twice, but I couldn't see him. The first time was in 1988, by then I had'nt even been born yet! The second was in 1992 for the Us Tour, when I was only 1 year old. My parents went to see him, but they didn't take me with them...
So, I'm praying and hoping that he comes to Brazil!! He MUST come!!
*_______________________________*
If he comes here, he'll problably perform in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, so if you make up your mind to pursuit him here, be sure to buy a ticket to a concert in Sao Paulo!! *'cause that's where I'll be seeing him too! :p*
When you first said it, I remembered It and Supper's Ready, I had forgotten about Aisle Of Plenty...What a funny reference to be repeated, "eggs"...Perhaps Peter likes eggs and he was just hungry when composing this songs! LOL
Oh, I learned a nice word now, "leitmotifs", thanks! :)
Yes, I like this very much about him, it is one of the things that made me "fall in love" with him. PG is such a sensitive man, he's never afflicted with false manners, neither he hydes his feelings or disguises them. And more than respectful towards the others, he's always so kind. For me it's such an admirable trace of his character. Sensitive people ain't a majority, nowadays it's even harder to find people like this, also because of the ever-growing range of trifling distractions people find to occupy their minds. And it's something I give so much value to....
Hahahahahah! I can figure that out!
That's a good thing about playing lots of different instruments, I bet you hardly get bored, if you do at all! :p
You're absolutely right! I believe it is something you can only achieve with hard work, self-commitment and of course, inspiration! :)
I myself would love to learn how to play many instruments I don't, but in my current situation it'd be rather complicated...I sing, and I played the violin years ago, but I quit my lessons, which I presently regret, so this year I'm going to take violin lessons again, and I'll start having bass guitar lessons! :)
Appart from that I also play the recorder, that's all.
But I wanted to learn how to play the flute in the future...
Appart from metal, I like everything you mentioned that you like and inspires you!
Although I even get to like some metal pieces...From Motörhead...
Oh, and I loooove composers form the Romatism period in classical music, Beethoven and Chopin are my favourite! :D
That's good!
I mean, I think you should get a rest sometimes, it's not good to be like "No-Self Control"! LOL
Kidding!
But seriuosly, you should rest when you feel you need to and all, it's essential to your physical and mental health, but it's great that you're always up to something, developing new projects and prospects for the future! Hope you achieve them all!
Just don't carry it to excess! :p
I guess you don't.
Oh, yes! Whenever you get the time to, you really should upload some of your songs!!
I'd like to know what you guys sound like!
I do like King Crimson, Genesis *of course*, Pink Floyd *I love Syd Barret*, and Yes too...I know a bit of their music... :)
It's true, in the end all bands are a fusion of influences...
All right!
If PG comes, please let me know when you're coming too! :)
It would be fun if we met in his concert...! :p
Kisses & Hugs! :D
