Dream Theater

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

I have two massive pairs, some phillips ones i robbed on my last day of school and some huge sony ones that my mums ex lent me then never asked for them back...Dream Theater sound awesome on both.

The drumming on 'lines in the sand' sounds so beautiful through my phillips ones

[Chu]

Cool, another Dream Theater fan on MX from Canberra :thumb:

[Happy]

Yeah, same here. I was completely wowed by it and listened to it about 5 more times.

Listening through headphones = :eek: /cream
Headphones are good. You hear things you normally miss.

Plus it's all I can use since my speakers aren't wired up.

If your speakers arent wired up, where do you plug the headphones in? Back of your computer?

[Lord Abortion]

The opening of it just seems similar, i think its something to do with the effect. and then torwards the middle when the clean kind of acousticy sound comes in...its also quite like the chorus of hurt.
The similarity is less so on the Budokan dvd though, as petrucci plays the opening as opposed to rudess which doesn't really sound as good.
Yeah, this is a very good effect. The Birdsong at the start is wonderful.

This dying soul has soul indeed, and not just in the title.

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

Yeah, this is a very good effect. The Birdsong at the start is wonderful.

Yeah, i like the way DT dont go too overboard on the sampling but when they do it sounds awesome...i like the deer hunter samples in 'dont look past me' and the sample torwards the middle that kinda carries on the line that LaBrie is singing.

He says...'i feel bad about this'... etc

[Lord Abortion]

I just checked my I&W booklet and noticed that Kevmo wrote the lyrics for Surrounded...he did something good other than SDV after all then...

/Prays they play Surrounded next tour.

[ghettoeddo]

kev wrote a lot of good lyrics i think.

i love how misunderstood starts off calm and serenely...then the brooding chorus w/ cellos underneath pops in to kidna give you a taste of the song's direction. then it bounces back into the major melodic section....and then kicks into heavy overdrive ;) and theno f course that whole creepy feedback/whammy section w/ JR's spider staccato riffs.

i pissed my pants when i was listening to it at night the first time. JP makes a sound like a monster from hell emerging from teh depths of the abyss.

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

Does anyone know the significance of the samples in SDV?
I can understand the significance of the first one 'He doesn't know what a woman is...' but the other ones seem quite random to me.

[ghettoeddo]

Thanks, i dunno why i didn't think of that.

Yeah it has a section on what the samples are and where they are from, unfortunatly nothing about their significance though...aaaah well.

[Moses]

Finally bought ToT after listening to it for a while downloaded.

I wonder why fans hated it at first.

[Lord Abortion]

I really like it, it's heavier than alot of the other stuff, and only Vacant and parts of ITNOG are ballads, which are normally what I like most in DT's arsenal.
However, It's much more of a metal album than people are used to, I think, and that puts people off slightly.

[Moses]

I hate their ballads. James Labrie has the worst type of voice for that stuff.

[Atica]

ToT is a great album, I love to listen to it. I also think that many people at the begginnig dislike it because it is heavier than the other ones, and are used to a more slow type of music.

I agree with you, James doesn't have a good voice for balads.

[Lord Abortion]

You two have exactly the opposite opinion to me then.

[Daven]

I love Train of Thought, Stream of Conscioussness (SP?) is my favoriote song.

[eug008]

Finally bought ToT after listening to it for a while downloaded.

I wonder why fans hated it at first.

I think it's good but a few songs are carried on for too long

[Blue Collar Man]

I think their early albums were much more heavy than TOT and certainly more metal. Especially I&W.

[Liquid Fantasy]

ToT is a great album, I love to listen to it. I also think that many people at the begginnig dislike it because it is heavier than the other ones, and are used to a more slow type of music.

I agree with you, James doesn't have a good voice for balads.
I actually like them, because James voice is soft but at the same time has some edgy sound to it so its not boring.

[Moses]

James' voice is best on Octavarium, I can't stress it enough.

[Liquid Fantasy]

Octavarium is a really solid album, its not the best one but its somewhere around there.

[lionelhutz88]

I think their early albums were much more heavy than TOT and certainly more metal. Especially I&W.

I dont know about heavier, but better certainly. I dont think they'll ever top Images and Words and Awake.

[eighty d]

I think their early albums were much more heavy than TOT and certainly more metal. Especially I&W.

I&W wasn't so consistently heavy. ToT doesn't have a full ballad-type song until Vacant. The opening of Endless Sacrifice is soft, but the song as a whole is still heavy. I&W on the other hand has Another Day, Surrounded, Wait For Sleep...

And I agree that James is at his best on Octavarium. My favorite DT albums are a bit different than most people in here. I'd rate 6DOIT and Octavarium both over SFAM, probably over I&W too.

[heavy metal kid]

I dont know about heavier, but better certainly. I dont think they'll ever top Images and Words and Awake.

I think SFAM is better than Awake and I&W, and if it wasn't for the covers, I would say A Change of Seasons is a runner up for Awake.

[Liquid Fantasy]

I didn't like a change of seasons that much but imo SFAM is their best album yet.

What did you learn?

[Lord Abortion]

I learnt that the Silent man was about Arabian nights, and the voices on Goodnight kiss are Mike's wife and kids.
I learned that Mike is playing a gig with his new Who tribute band, which sounds cool.
Lots of other little things, too. and that Mike thinks Vinnie Coluita is the best drummer in the world.

NP-Take away my pain(live)

[Moses]

That's because Vinnie is the best drummer in the world.

[ghettoeddo]

portnoy doesnt put peart above vinnie?

i thought i knew that site like the back of my hand :upset:

[Element of LED 435]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=fVFn5wpu4Tc

watch the whole thing, when they do another day and voices its roflmfao

[Moses]

I just watched Live at Budokan, its good.

[Atica]

I have that DVD, it's awesome. My favorite songs from that DVD are As I Am, Hollow Years, Instrumedley, Stream of Conciousness, Pull Me Under, and In The Name of God. And on the other CD of the DVD, I love Portnoy's Drumm Solo.

[Moses]

I like the Instrumedley aside from Petrucci's crappy solos.

I think his best solos are on Stream of Conciousness.

[Atica]

Yeah SoC is a very good and Petrucci plays cool solos, another great solo is the one he plays at Hollow Years (like more the second one than the intro)

[ghettoeddo]

i think hollow years solo > SoC solo by far.

SoC solo is just weioweioweioweioweiwoiodinididnidindndinndindndnin ndnntowhgwgwehjpgpggwegpawghwepgg

main riff suddenly.

hollow years is just like...UH! SECKS!

Heh, he does that Yngwie thing at about 40 secs.

I still disagree, that solo kinda sucks after listening to Al Di Meola and Paco de Lucia for as long as I have.

hey moses, i kicked your dog last night :angry:

[Moses]

That's okay, my dog is a bitch.

I also like more Hollow Years solo than SoC solo.

[ghettoeddo]

^ i like this guy :]

[Atica]

What do you think about Portnoy's drumm solo? I think it's great, but at the beginning he could be a little more creative, but it was cool to call some of the audience to play with him.

[Chu]

I think their early albums were much more heavy than TOT and certainly more metal. Especially I&W.
I think Awake is pretty metal.. And heavy... (With the exception of a few songs).

I really like that little woodblock vs keyboard thing Pornoy does with rudess at the end of that breakdown in the middle of Beyond this life.

In fact...i might go watch it now

[jpshortstuff]

hello new thread title

[Mr_Bounce]

Yeah, that solo was pretty good. He even restrained himself from shredding for the entire duration :D

[Lord Abortion]

i thought i knew that site like the back of my hand :upset:
He said that Peart was a big influence on him when he was a kid, but not so much anymore.

Hollow years>>>>SOC

[Happy]

I don't get what's so amazing about that extended Hollow Years solo?
The end part of it's great but he's done much better.

"Learning to Live" is such an amazing song. Especially that part at 8:11 when it goes back to the main riff in "wait for Sleep."

[Captain Quentin]

man, i was listening to space dye vest last night, and i just realised how amazing it is, i never really bothered to listen to it properly before but wow.

And as for John, he's allowed at least ONE moment in his life with bad tone :)

Although, I didn't think it was that bad.

[Mr_Bounce]

@ Phreeck: That bit is pretty epic. But it's a crescendo that leads into.. Another crescendo? I guess that's what people mean by DT drawing out their songs :D Well, at least what they're drawing out sounds fkn amazing.

[ghettoeddo]

amen to that.
it's a great performance, but...the tone leads much to be desired. very bright and...metally sounding :\ and james has never sounded better.

i was driving home from sunsplash tonight w/ my girlfriend. and she comments in "fatal tragedy" how she doesn't like james's voice cuz it's too nasally. so i got upset. but then "through her eyes" came on and she goes I LOVE THIS SONG! and i go :rolleyes:

she doesn't......"like" them. she enjoys the more melodic and commercial songs like through her eyes, hollow years, solitary shell, etc. that said, she was willing to go w/ me to both DT shows i've been to.

[jpshortstuff]

^^ haha your gf is like my mum

she likes those songs and said that she might want to come with me to a DT concert.

tis a shame they're hardly ever played...sometimes technical song after technical song can be a little overwhelming. still very awesome though :]

Have you heard any of the other albums?

[zealous]

I've listened to octavarium, Train of Thought, A change of Seaons and Metropolis aswell

Any other albums you could recommend?

[Happy]

Images And Words.

Flower Dance is right, go for Images and Words next. Then get Awake, it's my personal favourite.

The worst one imo, would be Falling into Infinity.

are we forgetting something?

[eug008]

Images And Words.

123, Their best IMO and then go for Awake, another favourite of mine

[zealous]

OK thanks a lot - I'll make sure to check those out :)

Theres a shop that sells all the albums for a fiver, I love itt.

[Lord Abortion]

Images and words.

I really like Falling into Infinity, if you love the more ballady side to the band, as I do, then that's the album for that.

[Happy]

Oh and after all that get When Day and Dream unite.

It's not their best, some people hate it, but I love it.

[Element of LED 435]

images n words owns. along with awake. enough said

[Firecracker]

Get When Dream & Day Unite definately.

[GenuineImitation]

I love FII. I used to think it was good, but not their best. Now its one of my favorites.

[Lord Abortion]

I love FII. I used to think it was good, but not their best. Now its one of my favorites.
Yeah, same with me. The live versions of the songs grew on me immensely.

Damn, you're lucky. Only place that sells stuff that cheap near me is a nice used place which sells albums for three dollars but their selection is dependant on what people sell them. My freind and I once bought like ten pretty rare albums there, though.

[Happy]

Dt albums here are up to £25.

[Lord Abortion]

Not in sensible places.
Music Zone usually has them for £6.97
Amazon will be about £4 or £5

3 disk Live albums would maybe be up to £10 on there.

[Happy]

There's none of that round here :p

Just Virgin and HMV. and you know how rediculous they can be.

[Liquid Fantasy]

The store next to my local sam ash also sells them for about 25$ or 20$.

It's OK, it has a few good songs but the vocals really wreck the songs

[bwnstl]

No, I believe the production value wrecks the songs.

[eug008]

Well that does too I guess but I was never a fan of Charlie's vocals except on that when dream and day reunite vid

[ghettoeddo]

Thats alright, the one track is still cool. Although if you can be bothered to send the whole thing i'd be grateful.

I have a few a dt tracks you might want...
Take away my pain demo
You or me demo
Dont look past me
Petrucci and chris collins playing wanted dead or alive
Petrucci's video game music

[I'm Charming]

I'm pretty positive someone took over his account.
hahah no. I'm just having fun.

I liked to Jaws Of Life on suspened animation tonight. + Universal Mind, I gotta listen to some DT when I finish with my megadeth stuff.

[ghettoeddo]

DT > megadeth although i love MD.

glasgow kiss = best on suspended animation imo.
universal mind = best on LTE1 besides freedom of speech

When gay marraige is allowed! We could lyk be political and stuff.

ToT is my fav DT album. That might be a dealbreaker. This Dying Soul and In The Name Of God are my fav DT tunes. That shred at the ten min mark of ITNOG is some of the fastest I've heard.

[ghettoeddo]

it's just fast legato...im under the impression that shred is picked haha.

gay marriage IS allowed. in CA and MA. those states know what they're doing /end political shpiel b4 flamefest starts

i'd have to say at this moment...6DOIT is my favoriet album.

I had DT's live master of puppets and number of the beast bootlegs. I felt bad for pertrucci playing maiden stuff. It was like molehill domination mode for him

I'll email them all to you if you gimme your adress:thumb:

The petrucci and chris collins 'WDOA' is pretty weird, it has this woman like talking over the top of it and making wisecracks:confused: it was originally recorded by petrucci as a backing track for one of his guitar students but then collins got hold of it and decided to put vocals on it.

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

DT > megadeth although i love MD.

Definately, i used to be a huge deth fan and i still like them but there really is no competition between them and DT.

And i think you're right about universal mind, although kindred spirits has to be coming up a close second followed by paradigm shift.

[eug008]

^^^^
Agree

Aye, they are good shops - but low in selection. there were only 3 DT albums there today :/ but like a whole rack of Rush albums.



I bought Images and Words today though, listening to it now. I've heard Another Day before - eeeexcelleent .. :)

HMV & Virgin suck, no DT albums in sight - but I always get tempted by their sales heh.

[Element of LED 435]

i had a dream i had to go to a play with my parents that i didnt want to go and on the way home we were walkin and i saw john myung and i got his autograph and picture and when he signed the paper it was like threads of strings and his eyes were almost popping out (it was very strange wen i saw him i couldn't believe it i couldn't speak which is surprising since john petrucci is my hero not myung)

i know. im weird lol

[zealous]

That is kinda weird and freaky! I wish I had dreams like that haha - well erm

[GenuineImitation]

Well that kind of music has no longetivity.


Well I have been listening to them for about 2 and a half years and I love them more every passing day. Its cool if you dont like it, but saying that it has no longevity is ignorant.

[ghettoeddo]

Well that kind of music has no longetivity.

only to you my famous new zealand musician friend.

it was NZ right?

the rest of us in this thread love em, and seeing as how this is the dream theater thread...i don't see a problem?

As long as I can still hear James' voice every time I put Surrounded on...there's no way I'm going to stop listening to Dream Theater

[eug008]

His voice is excellent on that song and album

[ghettoeddo]

his voice is excellent in general.

i think most peopel dont know his voice has been impaired for several years now...and is only JUST returning back to full strength. he injured his vocal cords or something because he vomited after some bad food.

you gotta give the guy some credit for still being able to hit the notes he can and singing like that after melting away your vocal cords.

NP: the great debate-dream theater
i love that tribal drums-tool-ish drum part in the middle :]

[lak89]

i thought James's voice was at his best on Images And Words, it was truly an amazing performance

[DreadedShred]

Dream Theatre = Untalanted

Malmsteen + Steve Vai + Michael Angelo Batio + Nitro + Racer X = more talanted than Dream Theatre

no question John Petucci Sucks at technique

[Atica]

I really admire James, he is a great singer and composer.

I will never get bored or stop listening Dream Theater, they are my heroes. :)

[bwnstl]

Malmsteen better than DT? Hah.....hahaha..............hahahahahahahahahahaha ha:amaze: :amaze: :amaze: :amaze:

hey thanks for trolling.
dbag.

no one likes you right now. well...just in the DT thread haha.
but really...if DT has no talent at all, then armageddon will occur in the next 24 hours for sure. oh and reality is nonexistent.

you dont have to like 'em, but to say they have no talent and petrucci has no technique? phew...the main argument against petrucci is that he's all technique and nothing else.

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

:lol: oh dear, some of these people are quite deluded.
You get that email eddo?

I love the way that in that song they dont take any particular stance and just outlay both sides of the argument, the lyrics are really clever as well...who wrote them? cus i definitely think they are some of DT's best.

This guy is one heck of a fool

anyways is the live in tokyo/5 years in a livetime or somthin dvd any good?

[jpshortstuff]

i got that dvd and it is pretty cool, although the production is a little bad, but worth getting for the music. especially if you like they're older stuff (e.g pre FII).

[eug008]

Yeh thats why I was thinkin of getting it, also cause LaBries voice sounded mint on the IAW concerts

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I've only watched the DVD a couple of times because it won't play on some of my DVD players, but I like it.

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

It also has some interesting things like the stuff at ronnie scotts with the singer from napalm death and marillion. It also has a clip of nightmare cinema:D

[ghettoeddo]

it's a great DVD, you should get it.
esp. the I&W in tokyo. like you said, his voice is ace on 'em. plus....they actually seem to be more animated than they are now O_O

edit: rep ++ for IAWDL for sending me songs :]

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

Holy ****, when did rep come back?

[eighty d]

...Are we listening to the same concert? I have the I&W/5YIAL DVD, and LaBrie is pretty bad on both of them. Granted on 5YIAL you're seeing him right after his vocal rupture, but he's not really any better on I&W. Lot's of shrieking.

uumm...ok :smoke: i personally think he's great.

when did his vocal rupture happen? i know he's only just returning to full strength.

NP: paradigm shift-LTE

Wasn't it on the Awake tour or just before recording Awake and he got food poisoning.

[jono1]

do u people rate petrucci for his leads or riffs because i find myself blown away by most of is riffs far more that his solos

[Happy]

Well, by everything he does. (not literally)

[UpperDecker]

I only have Octavarium. I didn't like it at first but i think its pretty good now. Anyway, is this cd a good representation of what the band sounds like?

[Lord of Sword]

one thing i never understood about the labrie/vocal chords thing is that the live covers on ACOS are some of his best live vocals i've heard from james, especially the led zeppelin songs. he doesn't miss a single note at all on the cd, but i'm not sure whether those songs were recorded after his food poisoning and only released in '95 or not, which would explain it all.

[Happy]

I only have Octavarium. I didn't like it at first but i think its pretty good now. Anyway, is this cd a good representation of what the band sounds like?
Well, the band sound pretty different on each record. If you like 8v you'll probably like their other stuff.

You serious, I have a video boot of the I&W tour and his voice sounds perfect on all of the songs, the boot has a very good set too (If your a fan of I&W)

8vm's pretty good but most of DT's other CDs (I&W, Awake, SFAM) are a lot better

[Chu]

His riffs mainly, but that's not to say he doesn't have some cream inducing solos.

Re: Lie. :o

[Shattered_Future]

His solos by far. I honestly think Petrucci is one of the worst riff writers ever.

/don't hurt me. :(

LaBrie sounds rather messed up on the LSFNY album too, I think it was...

[eug008]

His I&W solos were probably the best, latley his solos seem to unfortunatly be hack

[Lionheart1827]

Get Images and Words, Awake, or Scenes From A Memory.

In fact, get all 3.

In my honest opinion, Images and Words is the best DT album, plus it has Metropolis part 1 which pretty much defines them.:thumb:

[ghettoeddo]

i like his 8vm solos :]
especially the razor's edge one mMm i just wanna....mm it's so good. i can play it im really happy :]

i think petrucci's a great player overall--riffs or solos. some riffs are amazing like the glass prison one...and the lie one.

im actually not as big a fan of metropolis pt. 1 :\ granted, it's a great song and myung's solo never gets old for me :] but it doesn't click for me as much. so i really dont like it when they use it as an encore.

[Lionheart1827]

Imagine them playing ACOS as an encore.:thumb:

ACOS is the other song that defines prog metal and DT, for me at least.

[Darkness]

Petrucci has a few good riffs, but his solos are what stick out for me.

[ghettoeddo]

ACOS is very good (especially another world=some of the most beautiful music ever)...but at this point, i'd much rather them play 8vm live again as an encore. or the spirit carries on. when i saw it (8vm)...it totally blew me away. i absolutely whore that song, and i play along w/ it every day at least once. still working on that shredding...sigh.

I crapped my pants when I was at the Radio City show and they played Octavarium with a full orchestra. Not to mention the other amazing songs and 6DOIT.:thumb:

I think I'm going to be on the DVD "Score," too. If the cameras panned to the left side of the audience, I will be seen easily since I am in the aisle seat standing with a white shirt on.:thumb:

[ghettoeddo]

you were at the filmiing too?!?!?!?
lucky bastard.

i just hope the orchestra parts don't get TOO intertwined w/ DT's parts. then it'll sound like a mess at times like metallica's S&M

[eighty d]

when did his vocal rupture happen? i know he's only just returning to full strength.

NP: paradigm shift-LTE

It was either during the North American leg of the Awake tour or between the North American and Japanese legs. The 5YIAL commentary mentions it but I forget when exactly it happened.

[ghettoeddo]

wow...that's really early O_o so he was injured for FII, SFAM, 6DOIT, ToT and 8vm...damn. poor guy.

[Lionheart1827]

lucky bastard.

i just hope the orchestra parts don't get TOO intertwined w/ DT's parts. then it'll sound like a mess at times like metallica's S&M

The thing with S&M is that it was pretty much too pronounced.

The orchestra came in when needed at the Radio city DT show. While I was watching, when the orchestra wasn't playing, the conductor was watching the band play and whenever Rudess or Petrucci did a solo, the conductor would do like a "hell yeah that was awesome" motion, and he would be smiling and amazed, nodding with approval. It was really cool.

Now, I was at S&M NY live and at this Radio city show with orchestra, and I have to say that the orchestra fit a lot better because DT's music is more suited for it. S&M was amazing to see, once and a lifetime thing(same with radio city).:thumb:

[ghettoeddo]

you saw S&M live too? damn dude...

oh i thought they were playing constantly like they did in S&M. it jsut didn't fit all the time.
but if they only came in when needed....awesome :]
im REALLY excited for this DVD
