Fates Warning

Fates Warning was founded as a heavy metal band, but after a few albums, their progressive rock tendencies started to emerge. Based in Connecticut, USA, the band's current lineup consists of Jim Matheos (Guitar), Ray Alder (Vocals) Joey Vera (Bass), and Mark Zonder (Drums).

Their first three albums are best known for lead singer John Arch's unusual vocal approach, and the lyrics deal mainly with fantasy themes. John Arch left after the third album and a new vocalist Ray Alder joined the band. Thereafter the lyrics took a more introspective turn. Their later works (post 1989) go more in a progressive rock direction.

While retaining elements of their metal heritage, Fates Warning grew increasingly complex, with much longer tracks and interesting interwoven melodic elements added after they developed a progressive edge. They merged their love of Yes and Rush, by combining elements of pure metal, classically inspired crescendos and interludes with jazz fusion like chops. Fates Warning has been largely responsible for the infusion of progressive thinking into heavy metal music, despite never attaining mainstream appeal, but a loyal following amongst prog fans.

Fates Warning now has 12 studio albums to their name, namely:
Night on Brocken (1984)
The Spectre Within (1985)
Awaken the Guardian (1986)
No Exit (1988)
Perfect Symmetry (1989)
Parallels (1991)
Inside Out (1994)
Chasing Time (compilation) (1995)
A Pleasant Shade of Gray (1997)
Still Life (live) (1998)
Disconnected (2000)
FWX (2004)

If you like Queensrÿche, Yes, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Rush, or King Crimson, WHY DON'T YOU HAVE ANY FATES WARNING YET?!

Warnecke

A gigantic rotund man that tends to be a suckup to anyone who is his superior and will stab anyone in the back to make himself look better or get ahead. He is hated and dis-trusted by anyone who know him and is really a true weasil. He is a cherry picker and tends to borrow other people's ideas only to make them appear as his own, and his superiors are the only people that don't have him figured out. He is a disgusting human being who pays strippers for favors obviously because thats the only way he'll get any action, Realistically I bet his own wife can't even stand him. He has zero integrity and kharma is aching to catch up to him.

That rotten, no good cheat is a real Warnecke.
Look at that fat ass Warnecke, he's a joke.

Warning Shot

1. The firing off of a shot from a gun to warn someone you are about to kill them.
Best used when aimed at the head.

flash warning

Flashing your vehicle lights to warn other drivers of upcoming police speed traps.

A nice gesture so that other drivers don't have to pay speeding fines.

A reminder for people to slow down while driving.

Note: If ya get the signal just smile and wave back :)

Good thing that guy gave me the flash warning otherwise I would have been out $150.
