You might be Prog if…

I don't know if anybody mentioned the Keith Emerson daggers in the keyboard technique.

I don't have any Nazi ones, only a Fairburn and Skyes commando knife... Don't ask me how my grandfather got it (he spent WW2 driving a train) but he thought it was the right sort of knife for me to have as a boy scout, especially if sharpened to the nth degree. You'd probably never get it back out of a Hammond organ.
 
That reminds me - if you are in a proper prog band then ideally your lyrics should be by either the drummer or a dedicated lyricist, maybe a novelist. If you have such a person you are prog, although if it is Dan Brown you should reconsider your choices a bit.

(And yes, I have been in a band which did performances with lyrics by someone not in the band).
