Dream Theater

[Happy]

I love In The Name Of God. BTW my band is learning As I Am for our first song that we can play together and maybe one day a cover song (if we do it good). But i havent learned the drum solo yet(if i ever do) and our guitarist hasnt learnt the solo(if he ever does). i thought it was relevant.
Looks like you both have some work to do.

[ValeOfShadows]

Mmm...indeed. But i think he'll eventually learn it and hopefully i can.:(

[Happy]

Mmm...indeed. But i think he'll eventually learn it and hopefully i can.:(
Them solos are a bitch though. They all just seem to be Petrucci and Portnoy trying to go as fast as they can.

[ValeOfShadows]

Yeh but they sound so good. Seeing Portnoy play anything makes it look so simple till i try to play it.

[Happy]

Especially SOC.

[ValeOfShadows]

Yeah i dont know how he came up with the starting beat for that song. Its just random hitting that blends in really well.

[Happy]

It's so complicated. Just remembering it is a challenge.

[ValeOfShadows]

Im getting the hang of As i Am. Its fun to play and when i learn(and my band) the whole song i can rub it in my friends face that we are better than them(even though we probably already are).SOC is actually our guitarists fav song.

[nowitzki]

Yeah i dont know how he came up with the starting beat for that song. Its just random hitting that blends in really well.
Yeah, theres a lot of songs like that, The Dance of Eternity is a good example (the bit at the start that has the same beat as the middle of Metropolis). And the verses of These Walls are really cool.

[Lord Abortion]

Apparently the album they covered was.... Deep Purple - Made in Japan (the live album):

Highway Star
Child In Time
Smoke On The Water
The Mule
Strange kind Of Woman
Lazy
Space Truckin'

Very cool if you ask me, I can't wait to hear it, especially hearing LaBrie sing Child in Time.
Very nice.

It would have been ludicrous to cover Pantera...I mean, pantera are just a bunce of no talent rednecks...and DT are Gods amongst men.

[Happy]

Very nice.

Umm....I'm not going to argue with the redneck part, but no-talent?? Umm.....no?

That sounds unbelievably awesome. If LaBrie can sing Child in Time, he'll earn my constant praise. I wonder if they extended Space Truckin' as much as on Made in Japan.

ya, I too would praise him for eternity lol. But off the subject at hand. Anyone wanna send me some DT Albums over MSN???????? Mine have all been deleted off of my Ipod along with everything else, so im trying to rebuild. If so, add me to MSN at id_rather-not@hotmail.com please. Thanks

[ghettoeddo]

^ im looking for WDADU still.
march 3-10...somewhere in then has to be phoenix, geographically speaking.
not much of a time window though ><

is it weird that im stressed more about these tour dates than say...scholarship apps, school etc? haha

[Screamin_Demon_Auz]

Im really wanting to do a Dream Theater cover to put on my free EP which im making of some cover songs using backing tracks and on the Idol Underground site which is a pretty cool thing with contests and an online radio (its $25 per song to post though). No one in my band is really quite at the level of playing DT stuff yet so I was hoping maybe some of you could help me out. I'm looking at covering either These Walls, I walk beside you, Through Her Eyes, Strange Deja Vu, or Voices. Can any of you record any or all of the parts to these songs for me to use? I would try some of these for myself but my playings definently not good enough so I was hoping some of you could help out.

[Happy]

Yeah but you still missed Learning to Live, Spirit Carries On, ITNOG, The Mirror, Lie...:p
I know :angry:

I should've gone to half of each.

I can't really help you out while I'm at uni, but I Walk Beside You is a pretty simple song to play, you shouldn't have much trouble doing that.

Still live albums to come.

/plans to ruin Silent man by using distorted guitar and band's crappy singer.

[Screamin_Demon_Auz]

I can't really help you out while I'm at uni, but I Walk Beside You is a pretty simple song to play, you shouldn't have much trouble doing that.

I'd really like to do that one but the bass I believe was a 6 string part and I wouldn't know how to do it if you even can on a 4 string plus im not really good enough at anything to be willing to record it; especially drums.

I can sing a lot of Dream Theater stuff fine. Labrie is one of my favorites. If you want an example of my voice, go to ajenkz.dmusic.com Its not perfect but it gives a good idea of how I sound, especially under the circumstances (recorded entirely in less than an hour on a day with pretty much no sleep and a very tired voice from school.)

I might end up doing Through Her Eyes but I need to figure out how to get the drums. Could anyone help with anything on that song?

There are programs available that let you program drums, or the easiest option would be to import them in from a Guitar Pro tab (if you have Guitar Pro). You're probably better of asking in one of the instrument forums for more info on this.
You only need a 4 string bass for the song as well.

[HNLzero]

I would sell my soul to see them play Learning To Live.

[nowitzki]

I have to say that is the greatest song I have ever seen anyone perform live. It was like a musical orgasm.

I wish I saw that. Did they play that on Gigantour?

[HNLzero]

Does anyone know when the Boston DT tickets go on sale? I'd be sad if I lived near NY because the Radio City Music hall tickets seem to be unavalible for now and that show is going to be on DVD.

What do you mean unavailible. Are they sold out or didnt even go on sale yet?

[HNLzero]

They're on sale, but when I went on ticketmaster just to see if could get any single ticket, it said it was unavalible.

[nowitzki]

I'm guessing they're sold out seeing as its the one thats being filmed.

[GenuineImitation]

I guess it would make sense considering they are from New York. Can i have a link to the tour dates?

[HNLzero]

http://www.dreamtheater.net/tourdates.php#ustour2006

The taping was announced a little bit before Christmas so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

[nowitzki]

EDIT: beaten to it

[GenuineImitation]

Damn. My parents wont let me go to Boston alone and I doubt they would take me. I guess I'll hang outside of Radio City hoping to find some guy scalping tickets.

First I miss them on Gigantour and now this.

[nowitzki]

If you do, I'd be prepered to pay a lot. Tickets for a show like that won't come cheap.

[Lord Abortion]

Can you not find a friend to go with you?

[heavy metal kid]

Maybe this is old news, but Dream Theater is covering another album, this time it's Deep Purple's "Made in Japan".

[Screamin_Demon_Auz]

Alright im doing Through My Words/Through Her Eyes from SFAM. I checked the drums on Guitar Pro for through her eyes and they sound pretty bad. I downloaded BeatCraft Trial version and its pretty confusing to me. Can anyone explain what to program into it for this song, or can anyone who is good at programming drums program it for me? I've got everything else taken care of but the drums for it and i'd like to get it done pretty soon to put on Idol Underground

[GenuineImitation]

Has anyone heard of cheappricedtickets.com?

I just bought DT tickets from them. Im so happy. Too bad none of my friends like DT (the music is too sophisticated for them). I'll just go with my dad who I got into DT.


The tickets have been confirmed about an hour later. Maybe I'll be on the DVD.

2 Straight hours of DT. It even had an intermission. \m/

I may have read it wrong. It could be 2 hours then an intermission and then 2 hours. That would make more sense. If it was only 2 hours, I don't think they will have an intermission.

I'll try to find a glow in the dark shirt and I'll have a sign that is giving a shout out to my fellow DT thread friends.

Do you think they will let me take in a digital camera?

Yeah the 4 hours is more likely.

You might not get let in. When I saw them Cameras weren't allowed but the security wasn't too thorough so you could probably sneak one in.

I can say I have a prostetic(spelling ?) leg...or I can borrow my sisters picture camera. Pics won't be too good though.

Do they not want disposable cameras either?

[nowitzki]

Well I can understand if its being filmed for a DVD then they probably don't want flashes going off in the audience, so I'm guessing they might be quite strict on it . I suppose you can ring the venue and see what they say.

[Lord Abortion]

I didn't know how to react when Mike discribed favourite DT songs of mine as "radio friendly" on that commentary.

Solitary shell, hollow years, Lie...

NP-Solitary shell (screw you mike :p)

I'm one of the people attracted to the 3rd side of DT, the melodic side, I like the prog and the metal too, of course, but that's my favourite, partly because James' voice suits it so well.

[Happy]

It should say on the back of the ticket wether Cameras are allowed or not.

[red barchetta]

same here. solitary shell is my favourite section of 6DOIT (the 2nd disk) and the live at Budokan version is amazing. i really like the silent man too. me being a fan of their melodic stuff is probably the reason behind why hell's kitchen is my favourite DT instrumental.

NP: the spirit carries on

[Lord Abortion]

Take away my pain is crying at the CD player good.

[FuzzyDuck]

Supposidly you can get a JP signiture gutiar for around £300, not the proper ££££££££ ones but a cheaper copy. Anyone know anything about this?

Yeah that's the OLP version. They make budget versions of MusicMan guitars similar to how Epiphone makes budget versions of Gibsons. From what I've read the reviews of it seem to be pretty mixed. Also, is there such a thing as the "When Dream and Day Unite DVD?" Is it some kind of fanclub thing? Cos if it exists then I fricking want it.

[The Depressed]

Also, is there such a thing as the "When Dream and Day Unite DVD?" Is it some kind of fanclub thing? Cos if it exists then I fricking want it.

It's the first album played with the current line-up, recorded on the 15th anniversary of its release during the ToT tour. It also has Charlie (Dominici) singing To Live Forever and Metropolis Pt 1, with Derek (Sherinian) playing keyboards on Metropolis.

It's from the Official Bootleg website - www.ytsejamrecords.com

And it's called When Dream And Day ReUnite.

[GenuineImitation]

I'll check it. The ticket is coming in the mail any day now.


Fun Fact: Live at Budokon was filmed on my birthday.

[Lord Abortion]

coming in the mail

Say that aloud, and you'll giggle too.

I love OIALT so much now, I did the Budokan thing of being unhappy with the set, but realised otherwise instantly.

[The_Riddler]

I haven't posted in this topic in awhile, and well, this isn't the best thing to be brought into discussion either.

But ever since I bought Octavarium, I thought the first songs opening riff sounded a lot like something Audioslave released. Not really identicle, but just something similar.

Either way, I just ordered two or three Dream Theater cd's, can't wait until I get the money to buy them :)

[nowitzki]

I can't really see the Audioslave similarity myself.

Recently I've been enjoying the second disc of 6DOIT. It really is amazing.

[Happy]

Connection between Root of All Evil and Audioslave = fail.
I can't see any connections myself apart from the Muse one and the fact a part of Beyond This Life sounds like Money, only pointed out by DT themselves.

[bwnstl]

OMMGGZZRZZ = Disappear is teh secksorzz

I love the lyrics and the way James "Sexy" LaBrie sings them. The music to it is amazingly haunting too. MMmmm.

I enjoy everything about DT's music. Melodic, Heavy...

[Lord Abortion]

The live version of Goodnight kiss on LATB sends shivers up my spine...

[bwnstl]

Solitary Shell is one of those songs that just makes me happy whenever I hear it. It's like the song radiates happiness despite the lyrics being less than cheerful.

[GenuineImitation]

My DT tickets just arrived.

[temporary]

GenuineImitation, you're so lucky! I'm still pissed that they don't have any Philly dates confirmed. Going up to New York wouldn't be that unlikely, if the tickets were cheaper.

[ghettoeddo]

and no phoenix.
for shame for shame. i wish i knew how to contact our local promoters, because the band has no say in where to play.

i like misunderstood. a lot. except for the end w/ weird noises. it's pretty cool in the middle cuz the music fades back in.

off of the 2nd disc of 6DOIT...i'd say TTTSTA is my least favorite. that riff just doesn't do it for me

[classicrockman]

**** Yeah!!

I just bought DT tickets for the Los Angeles. This will be the best concert I've ever been to. THANK YOU DT!!

From Blabbermouth:
Despite rumors to the contrary, DREAM THEATER will NOT be joined by any of the group's former members during the final show of their 20th Anniversary Tour 2005/2006, which is scheduled to take place Saturday, April 1 at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Commented DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy: "[Former DREAM THEATER keyboardist] Kevin Moore has (once again) passed on my invitation to join us at Radio City Music Hall.... so just to not get people's hopes up with their predictions, I can officially confirm there will NOT be any ex-DREAM THEATER members joining us on stage that evening... It will however, still be VERY special!"

[ValeOfShadows]

How many ex dream theater memebers are there?

[nowitzki]

Charlie Dominici was the singer on When Dream and Day Unite.
Kevin Moore played keys on the first 3 albums, Derek Sherinian on A Change of Seasons and Falling Into Infinity.

[ValeOfShadows]

Oh...Thanx.

[Lord Abortion]

Kevin "Egon" Moore would be good.
Then they could play space dye vest, this is what happens when you only have one writing credit on a song...

As would I. That's probably my favorite Dream Theater song.

[Lord of Sword]

Mike asked KM to appear at the April 1st show apparently, and he once again refused. I don't know why he keeps on refusing, he might not want to be known just as 'the ex-DT keyboardist', but most of the people in that room would be fans of his and of his music regardless of what he's doing now.
I don't know if that's already been posted, but I read it on JP.com a few days ago and haven't seen it in here yet.

[ghettoeddo]

And wait for sleep was the first that really made me notice the other side to the band.

[Happy]

I got my mate into Dream Theater he loves Take The Time and Wait For Sleep.

[classicrockman]

you live in tucson, and you're going to cali.

damn you.

by the way, ain't tucson boring? :]
Yes Tucson is boring. For Spring break my family is going to Hawaii. So we have to hit LA and then fly from there. I'm so glad my dad was like "Yeah, let's go see Dream Theater while we're there!"

I'm so happy. :)

[GenuineImitation]

Kevin "Egon" Moore would be good.
Then they could play space dye vest, this is what happens when you only have one writing credit on a song...


They could still play it. Rudess is a talented keyboardist.

[nowitzki]

They could still play it. Rudess is a talented keyboardist.
Mike Portnoy has said they will never play it unless Kevin Moore is with them, seeing as it is his song completely. He's also said it wouldn't have been included on the album if they knew Kev was going to be quitting the band.

[ghettoeddo]

good thing it was included...

and i don't think rudess should touch space-dye vest. i dont' want him changing what KM wrote like he did w/ pull me under.

there's not much to do in phoenix either actually...god arizona sucks.

[GenuineImitation]

Thats something I didn't know. I guess you do learn something new everyday.

[scenesfromatheater]

Dream Theater are going to release another 2 albums right? I think someone said that a while back. Anyone know when abouts they will bring them out?

[Lord Abortion]

They'll recrd more than that, I think, they show no signs of stopping

NP-The root of all evil

[Happy]

I can imagine them still recording at 70.

[scenesfromatheater]

Haha. That would be cool.

[Lord Abortion]

I can still see them encoring with pull me under at 70

[ghettoeddo]

as godly as they are at endurance...they're not gonna be able to keep it up much longer.
comparing the I&W in tokyo and budokan...you can see they had so much more energy back then. james's voice was much fresher then. petrucci actually moved around and didn't stand like a rock all the time.

not that i care :] im still hoping for more albums.
NP-never enough

[nowitzki]

I think live they are as good as ever. LaBrie's voice is amazing right now. As for them moving around - I go to see DT to hear some amazing music, the fact they don't move around the stage doesn't bother me at all.

[Cain]

yep still no phoenix either...

hey cain, who's in ur avatar? :]

Her name is Faith.

[IbanezSamurai]

Her name is Faith.


Is she a porn star? :naughty:

But yeah, no Atlanta eather.

[QuebecGuitar72]

ok guys I ****ing need help. Maybe if you guys have downloaded the song The root of all evil, you have found a song of 6:01 long but it is not the real root of all evil that is on octavarium...I really need to know the real title of that song cause i'll put that song in a DT medley that i'll play in a gig and I need the tabs.

Thank you(sry i found no link for you to at least listen to it...)
Cheer:chug:

[nowitzki]

It's probably Crucify from James Labrie's solo album, Elements of Persuasion.

james labrie is amazing. i want his babies.
does he have kids? i know the other members do.

quoted for truth, but it still wouldn't hurt to see them a little more into it. but at this rate, i won't get to see them this year :angry:

[A-S-S-H-A-T]

Stage presence could definately multiply the intensity of a show. But If DT isn't that energetic of a band you can't really change that, they still produce some amAzing stuff.

[Happy]

Their stage presence meant nothing to me, still the best gig I've ever been to.

"We felt the need to run around like idiots for some reason back then"
-One of the DT guys on the I&W Tokyo commentary

And James's voice wasn't so good live back then. Case in point: "Praying for TIME to disappear" on Under A Glass Moon. That shriek was unholy.

[temporary]

It's probably Crucify from James Labrie's solo album, Elements of Persuasion.

Yeah, if he's talking about what I'm thinking of, it is. That song is really good, I'm thinking of getting the album.

[Lord Abortion]

I liked the shrieking

[Toaster]

It's probably Crucify from James Labrie's solo album, Elements of Persuasion.

Yeah, my former band mate told me he found an awesome DT track called "These Walls", and told me it had the best solo ever. Since the solo on "These Walls" is nothing special, I was skeptical. Anyway, when I heard it I told him that it wasn't actually Dream Theater (it was off the JL solo album), and he started flipping out and calling me an elitist. He persists in calling it a Dream Theater track to this day.

One of the many evils of downloaded music.

but i still want his babies.

ive only pretty new to dream theater...

His intonation live sounds better to me now than it ever has. When I saw them on Gigantour he was near perfect.

I agree that he needs to tone it down sometimes. Some of his best performances are the more relaxed ones.

[Lord of Sword]

providing james' voice is as good in april as it has been for the last year, when he's kept getting better and better, the new dvd will probably be the best yet. he is singing better than i've heard for years, aswell as hitting all the usual high notes he's even throwing in extra ones, whereas before like on budokan, he'd either just shout the words or sing an octave lower.

[eighty d]

I agree. He did an amazing job on Learning to Live, probably still my favorite performance of his I've seen. It's just surprising to hear him go for that note and hit it solidly.

On the subject of his LSFNY vocals, does anyone else absolutely love Beyond This Life? He doesn't do it perfectly, his voice cracks a bit in one of the verses, but I like it so much better than on Budokan where he stays at a comfortable level and doesn't put as much power into it.

[Toaster]

Voices. The Mirror is just trying to be too metal.

Labrie has a lot of trouble with the high notes live. Both times I've seen DT he's struggled to sustain them, and his voice has even failed him sometimes.

"Erotomania" or "Voices."

I think they'll close with Octavarium with an encore of Pull Me Under.

[ghettoeddo]

... i love that song. especially the pinch harmonic riff after the guitar solo

do their setlists tend to differ from continent to continent?

[nowitzki]

They usually do an encore of either Pull Me Under/Metropolis, Spirit Carries On or Learning to Live

you still forget octavarium ;) they should open w/ overture 1928 and if you added UAGM, TGP, erotomania and peruvian skies, i think that'd pretty much do it for me. and space-dye vest is a given.

[The_Riddler]

Train of Thought/Images and Words

Currently, I am stuck between buying Train of Thought and Images and Words. I am not sure at all on which one to buy at all. I hear Images and Words is better, but I want to hear your guys opinion. I have Awake/Octavarium, always looking for more good Dream Theater stuff.

I couldn't have Octovarium AND ACOS in the set, that would be ludicrous
And there is no liklihood of there ever being a live version of space dye vest in there.
I was also being representative of varied albums...

Riddler- given they are my two favourite DT albums. GET THEM BOTH!!

[Happy]

Hmm, tough. If you prefer 8v more get TOT. If you like Awake more get I&W.

They'll never play Space Dye Vest, which is a shame since it's a great track. Kevin turned down Portnoy's proposal to play at the 20th aniversary show so my friend said.
