Happy birthday to Kevin Moore!!

[Mebert78]

Hey, everyone:

Just a quick note to wish a happy birthday to Kevin Moore!  It seems like yesterday when KM was in his mid-to-late 20s having written "Space-Dye Vest" and leaving the band to create Chroma Key.  Time flies.  When you look at Kevin's career, he was really a groundbreaking keyboardist and somewhat of a pioneer for the genre and instrument.  Before I&W, there was no music that sounded like DT and Kevin's songwriting, playing and solos were a large part of that.  Just looking at "Pull Me Under," his sound in that "greatest hit" alone helped to put prog metal on the map.  He did something musically that no one else was doing.  It's easier to achieve success after someone has opened the door.  Kevin helped open the door for other keyboardists -- and other prog bands in general.

On a separate note, one of the forum members at The Mooreatorium has tried to organize a 24-hour online "birthday party" starting at midnight that consists of a Kevin Moore-themed radio station and chatroom in celebration of his 43rd birthday on May 26.  Fans in various timezones will be stopping in throughout the day.  This is sort of a grassroots thing, so have reasonable expectations.  I offered to mention it here.

Happy birthday, Kevin!  Keep up the good work and thanks for everything you've given us so far!

kevin moore is both rythmic and melodic, more inclined to the rythmic side. the style is really thoughtful,progressive,ingenious. and happy late birthday.

I'm giving as a birthday the magazine (was it a magazine?) with the woman he fell in love and inspired him to write Space-Dye Vest so that he will never be open again

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Kevin. Thanks for fueling many an internet argument.

Good work Moore. Made it past 43. Maybe I can follow in your footsteps, perhaps even make it to 44! That would be sweet!

[Pyroph]

I knew I listened to a lot of Chroma Key in the car today for a reason.

[PlaysLikeMyung]

Thanks, everyone.

[Chagny]

Is he gonna be open again?

[antigoon]

Maybe next year.

So many birthdays today (including me ). What up with that?

Happy birthday Kevin (even though you're never going to see this).
