Dream Theater

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

Oh thanks dude, just getting the second one now:D

[eug008]

Damn you must have fast internet

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

one mb ntl.


You lied, there is no comfortably numb on the second disk:(

[eug008]

Yes there is (the last track)

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

For some reason my computer will only extract up to track 6:confused::angry:

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

Any chance you could just send me the last tack over msn?

[jpshortstuff]

haha ^^ that glockenspiel/xylophone thing is great

[eug008]

Any chance you could just send me the last tack over msn?
Yeh sure, whenever you are able to get on

[jpshortstuff]

i cant believe the highest dream theater track on my most popular (mp3 player) list is TGP at 16. 16? thats terrible.

There you go man.

That.....was incredible. And that guy freaking NAILED that bass solo.

[Happy]

Listen more :angry:

That percussion thing is sweet.

[jpshortstuff]

Listen more :angry:

in my defence... Look over there!
/runs

no but really - the long song theory applies. i listen to half an hour of dream theater, which is like 2 songs, and 20 mins of something else which is 4 songs. im still listening to more DT but it doesnt. or maybe my mp3 is a liar. 1 of the 2.

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

That.....was incredible. And that guy freaking NAILED that bass solo.
Yeah at first he didn't seem all that impressive and i was wondering wether they'd just skip the bass solo, but then he actually did and i was like Woah, it wasn't entirely the same as the one myung plays but it was pretty damn close.

[Lionheart1827]

Thanks for the link, but STUPID YOUTUBE HAS TO BE DOWN NOW AND I CANT WATCH IT!!!:angry:


Now I really want to see it.:thumb:

[eug008]

Yeh, it is pretty cool with the glockenspiels and ****, search google video?

[Inkstar]

Wow, that percussion ensemble was awesome! I did something similiar to that once, except with more toms/bongos/timables etc and less mallet percussion. Was awesome though.

[eug008]

Heres some more DSOTM material for you all

[Lord of Sword]

haven't seen this posted in here yet, but it looks like an hour of music from Score is being streamed at mp3.com:

http://www.mp3.com/albums/20120685/summary.html

[Happy]

Damn, I'd listen but I'd rather wait until the release.

[Shattered_Future]

That percussion thing was quite awesome. No guitarist though!?

[Happy]

I'd imagine the only reason there was a bassist was because the glocks didn't have enough range to hit those notes...

Or maybe because I've heard bass is considered a percussion instrument?

[Six Foot Revolver]

Or maybe because I've heard bass is considered a percussion instrument?
It is when slapped but not when usually played.

[_Wrathchild_]

That percussion ensemble thing was awesome.

If they didn't have a bassist, it would sound empty and it would be kind of hard to play that bass solo on a glock :p

[Rattlehead]

btw
a while back, i hated images and words for its cheesiness. some guy said to me: "its an aqquired taste. you'll learn to like it." it may have been flower dance. whoever ever it was, turned out to be right. ive been addictively listening to it. take the time is a cert fave. :)

Yeah I&W is my favorite DT album and Take the Time is one of my faves. That keyboard solo is so perfect.:thumb:

[Liquid Fantasy]

I just bought When Dream and Day Unite and its a good album but i just can't get used to Dominici's voice :lol:, though he doesn't sing bad at all.

Awsome, it sounds great

[Atica]

Yeh, it's kind of weird to listen to Dominic singing after you listen James.

[Inkstar]

I listened to some of the stream, I don't want to completely spoil it, but DAMN it sounds awesome. LaBrie's singing fantastic.

[eug008]

I thought his singing WAS horrible but now he has improved on WDADReU

How is it cheesy? I own the album and I'm just curious how you find it cheesy. I like it, but not my favourite, that's reserved for Scenes From A Memory.

:cool:

I love WDADU, I think the singing really suits it and Petrucci's style on it is awesome.

[ghettoeddo]

genuine...nice to meet you on faceboook :]

that mp3 link sounds fantastic...labrie really does sound amazing. spot-on :]

i dont wanna listen anymore though. it'd ruin it.

[Element of LED 435]

No love for Awake?!!? man i can't understand it being cheesy just like you said but I&W and Awake are deff my favorite. I see SFAM having too many ballad type songs

[Happy]

I just pre-ordered Score :cool:

[eug008]

Nice, I think I'll just pick it up when it hits the shelves

[ghettoeddo]

No love for Awake?!!? man i can't understand it being cheesy just like you said but I&W and Awake are deff my favorite. I see SFAM having too many ballad type songs


too many ballad songs?

where's the problem again?

[Chu]

I don't think there's a problem with that, but it doesn't have any of the beautiful riffs present on Awake, or even Images and Words, thus it is not as good.

[Element of LED 435]

I don't think there's a problem with that, but it doesn't have any of the beautiful riffs present on Awake, or even Images and Words, thus it is not as good.
that and my DT tastes are more for their energetic songs and a couple ballads (ex. Take the Time, The Mirror, Lie, About to Crash (reprise), and Metropolis)

Even though i think LaBrie's voice suits all their music and love all of DT's songs

[Agrim]

I think DT sucks.

Seriously some of the worst "music" i have ever heard.

[pate]

...then why the hell come into the DT thread and "post"?

[TojesDolan]

To show his lack of interest in the band.

I like the technical aspect. And LaBrie has a good singing tone. Very, power metal, or older Heavy metal.

[DaveTheAmazing]

I'm still not sure whether I want to buy Score as the DVD or as the CD. Choose for me, guys :p

[Inkstar]

Get both like me!

[jpshortstuff]

i think im gonna get the DVD, then either find someone i know with the CD and rip it or get in the DU or something.
or i could get the CD, and borrow the DVD of my mate who will probably get it, like i did with L@B. but i'll probably do the first.

[Happy]

I'm still not sure whether I want to buy Score as the DVD or as the CD. Choose for me, guys :p
DVD, then, if you love it that much, buy the CD.

[eug008]

DVD definatly, Video + Audio>Audio

[GenuineImitation]

Im going to get both, but most likely the DVD first for monetary reasons. I can barely afford the DVD as it is :(

[Happy]

How much is the dvd for you?
It's about $30 here.

[jpshortstuff]

^^ where didja pre-order from?
im thinking of ordering from amazon where it's £14.99 = $28-$30 (rate around 1.9?).

EDIT: did you just change that or am i going crazy?

[Happy]

Yeah i put 40 by mistake.


I ordered it off Play, it's about the same price.

[jpshortstuff]

im gonna have to order it on-line i think. when it comes out i start college very soon after and i work at weekends so i wont have time to go and buy it.

[GenuineImitation]

How much is the dvd for you?
It's about $30 here.


Its the same thing here, but I just bought Guitar Hero and Gigantour tickets.

[Happy]

Ah right. They're probably 2 of the only things you can prioritse over DT :p

[GenuineImitation]

Ah right. They're probably 2 of the only things you can prioritse over DT :p


My friend peer pressured me into getting Guitar Hero. I thought I had a much stronger sense of will power. I couldnt miss Gigantour again, so I had to buy ther tickets. Plus Im going with two kids I met at college orientation, so its a chance to make new metalhead friends.

[3074326]

I think DT sucks.

Seriously some of the worst "music" i have ever heard.

To avoid problems, don't do that. ;)

[Lord Abortion]

I think you're a dickwit who lost his balls in a bizzare accident involving your gay lover's mouth and a badly timed sneeze/tooth-filing incident, but I don't come into threads you haunt and post about that, so if you could do the same and piss off back to whatever sewer spawned you, then that would be much appreciated.

[Shattered_Future]

I love Guitar Hero. When does the new one come out?

Man, I wish DT were on Gigantour again. They had the world's greatest setlist last year.

[pate]

<3 Ollie.

I too wish they were on G2, in place of Lamb of God. That would make this year's better than last year's.

[Happy]

I love Guitar Hero. When does the new one come out?

Man, I wish DT were on Gigantour again. They had the world's greatest setlist last year.
November apparently.

[GenuineImitation]

Im pretty happy with the lineup this year, but having DT, Nevermore and Symphony X would be better than The Smash Up, Lamb of God and Arch Enemy.

[Lord Abortion]

Wow, those three bands are gay.

[GenuineImitation]

I can tolerate Arch Enemy and LoG, but Im going for Into Eternity, Overkill, Opeth and Megadeth

[manson667]

my friend likes them

[GenuineImitation]

my friend likes them


Do you like them?

[Happy]

Why do so many people hate lamb of God? :(

[GenuineImitation]

Why do so many people hate lamb of God? :(


I dont mind them, infact I think they are good, but I think there are better bands out there. Like DT.

[Lord Abortion]

Why do so many people hate lamb of God? :(
Cause they're a band that came out of America in the Mid-90's...I hate them automatically.

[GenuineImitation]

Cause they're a band that came out of America in the Mid-90's...I hate them automatically.

Thats not a fair stament...

[Lord Abortion]

Like I'm known for those:p

[GenuineImitation]

Like I'm known for those:p

You would be correct my good sir. You have to like either Symphony X or Nevermore though.

[Atica]

I love Into Eternity, Opeth and Megadeth, but not as much as Dream Theater. :p

[eug008]

Yeh, they are the 3 bands that I'm going for.

For those who haven't seen it the Score E-Card/Video trailer

http://origin.images.rhino.com/videoflash/dreamtheater/score/consumer/#

Looks really great

[ghettoeddo]

ZOMG i need to hurry my *** up and get G2 tix...

[Inkstar]

Yeah that looks awesome. Great camera work, and the orchestra looks amazing. Can't wait!!

[Lord Abortion]

You would be correct my good sir. You have to like either Symphony X or Nevermore though.
I like Both in small doses. Symphony X more, smoke and mirrors is a kickarse song.

[eug008]

Those sweeps at the start are just pure awsomness

[Surtr]

Just bought Scenes From A Memory. And...

I love it, pure genious (But then again what DT isn't?)

[Atica]

Symphony X is an amazing band, and the sweeps are great, but Michael's tapping... wow is like...well no words for its greatness.

[Moses]

I think Russel Allen is the best vocalist in metal, easily.

[Happy]

I disagree.

I'm sure you know who my vote goes for ;)

[Lord Abortion]

Mine goes for Bruce Dickinson, but James runs him close.

[eug008]

Allen has the most powerful voice, his voice is mint live too

[Shattered_Future]

My God, seeing Symphony X live was one of the coolest things ever. I wish they got more than 30 min though...

Why does everybody hate Arch Enemy though?

[Lord Abortion]

They're Gothenburg...that's the only reason I need.

[Happy]

In Flames are Gothenburg too and they pwn.

[Chu]

In Flames are Gothenburg too and they pwn.
No.
I like Lord's reasoning here :p

[Lord Abortion]

In Flames are Gothenburg too and they pwn.
No

I like my Reasoning too.

[Inkstar]

I like Arch Enemy.

[pep]

Me too. And my favorite vocalist in metal is Bruce. There are some things that i dont like about LaBrie when he sings live.

[Atica]

Russel Allen is a great vocalist, I like James but not that much.

[GenuineImitation]

I like Arch Enemy as well. My favorite Gothenburg band is either At the Gates or Dark Tranquility though.

[Inkstar]

Just noticed your avatar Genuine - that is AWESOME. Best show ever.

[Kreator2112]

Yeah Michael Amott kicks arse.

Carcass <3

[pate]

I like Arch Enemy as well. My favorite Gothenburg band is either At the Gates or Dark Tranquility though.

Dark Tranquillity > Old In Flames > At The Gates > Arch Enemy >>>>> new In Flames

EDIT: Dark Tranquillity > Dream Theater > Old In Flames > At The Gates > Arch Enemy >>>>> New In Flames

[Inkstar]

Dream Theater > life.

K lets get this thread back on track.

I can't stop listening to 8vm (song). It's just such a perfect end to a song, and the album, and the bands career with their record label. I love the last line "this story ends where it began". It just gives me goosebumps everytime.

[Kirk's Puppet]

I personally find Bruce Dickinson overrated. He can't really seem to hit his high notes very well live, he has troubles singing them. He has an alright voice. He's definitely a good singer, no doubt.

Russell Allen is brilliant.

Mikael Akerfeldt > All though :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

I personally find Bruce Dickinson overrated. He can't really seem to hit his high notes very well live, he has troubles singing them. He has an alright voice. He's definitely a good singer, no doubt.

Um...what?
How the hell did you come to that conclusion?

[eug008]

Yeh Akerfeldt pwns, his clean and harsh voice are both amazing for each genre

[jpshortstuff]

ah, the old: discuss everything except DT trick
what does everyone think of skateboards? (only random thig i could think of)

EDIT: yeah Akerfeldt is the greatest vocalist, no question

[eug008]

I am sick of skateboards and skater kids at my school

Anyhows can't wait for Score

[Kirk's Puppet]

Um...what?
How the hell did you come to that conclusion?

I got some Iron Maiden DVDs and he seems to be struggling to hit the really high notes. Like he tends to "change" the "Run to the hills... Run FOORR YOUR LIVES!!!" part in the chorus.

[Lord Abortion]

If you are referring to the Death on the Road DVD, it's an unfortunate and little known fact that Bruce was suffering from quite severe flu on the night it was filmed in Dortmund. His vocals aren't perfect on that live album, it's true, however, when I saw them on that tour, Bruce was excellent, and the same goes for the last tour, when I saw them at Leeds Festival, he dealt with the higher songs such as Where eagles dare just as well as he did when he was 25.
If you're referring to Rock in Rio...I can't work out how you came to that conclusion, listen to the end of Hallowed be thy name, he holds that note for almost a full minute.
You also have to take into account that he's approaching 50 years of age. Most vocalists lose a little bit of their edge when they approach that kind of age, and sadly he is no exception, however, he's still pretty much note-prefect when I have seen the band, and on all recent Maiden and solo work.

[GenuineImitation]

Dark Tranquillity > Old In Flames > At The Gates > Arch Enemy >>>>> new In Flames

EDIT: Dark Tranquillity > Dream Theater > Old In Flames > At The Gates > Arch Enemy >>>>> New In Flames


I'll edit this further for you.

Dream Theater > Everything

Even with the flu he did an amazing performance.

[3FingeredHoek]

Appearently there's a stream of Dream Theater's Score on mp3.com.

http://www.mp3.com/albums/20120685/summary.html

I hope this isn't old news.

[Happy]

Yeah someone posted it a page or two back.

I refuse to listen until I get my DVD :D

[3FingeredHoek]

Oh well.

I can't wait for the DVD.

[Moses]

Bruce Dickinson = one of the best front men in metal.

[pate]

Bruce Dickinson = one of the best front men in metal.

Maybe the best.

At times, I like Labrie more live than on albums, though I don't know what about his voice that makes me feel this way.

[ghettoeddo]

i feel that way too...

but sometimes...i wish he'd stop singing. idk it's alove-hate relatinoship for me i guess.

[pate]

Same here. His vocals always go back and forth between awesome and horrid.

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

I was thinking that alot of the time they just need to turn down his mic a little because i mean he has such a powerful voice that it sometimes sounds a little detached from the music , if they turned him down a bit i have a feeling it would blend better.

[Happy]

I've always loved his voice, Both aspects of it, the high singing like Innocence Faded and the low like Vacant and Disappear.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Considering how much Dickinson seems to run around on stage, I wouldn't be suprised if he struggled sometimes.

Halford still owns him, though.

[pate]

Considering how much Dickinson seems to run around on stage, I wouldn't be suprised if he struggled sometimes.

Halford still owns him, though.

I saw both bands like two months apart last summer/early fall. Honestly I could not pick which singer was better. They were both spot on.

[Firecracker]

I just pre-ordered my score. Gonna be good I know.
It's 14.99 on play.com

[Happy]

Me too :hi5:


This is not the iron maiden thread :angry:

[Aw3someman]

Mikael Akerfeldt > All though :thumb:
I disagree, Akerfeldt is imo overrated as hell on these forums.
I think:
Dickinson > all but a select few that I can't think of at the moment

[jpshortstuff]

I disagree, Akerfeldt is imo overrated as hell on these forums.
I think:
Dickinson > all but a select few that I can't think of at the moment
now i disagree. Akerfeldt is not overrated at all, he posses both an excellent growling voice and a great clean voice (+plays guitar at the same time, unlike dickinson). he doesn't lose any power live either, from the DVD i have and a mate whos seen them. only in the Opeth thread have i seen people saying things about him which could be seen as overrated but thats expected.

i still don't know why this is being discussed here though.

[Moses]

Sometimes I love JL's vocals and sometimes I hate them. Most of Octavarium I love vocalwise. The other albums aren't as solid on his part for me. It's not that he does a bad job on those albums, just kind of annoying.

Akerfeldt is overrated as a vocalist, however he's underrated as a guitarplayer. He's also a better vocalist than guitar player too.

Russel Allen> Dickinson > Akerfeldt = Labrie

Labrie has Akerfeldt beat technically but he's annoying alot of the time.

[Happy]

LaBrie probably wasnt solid because his voice hasn't been in top shape since 1994 when he caught food poisoning which damanged his throat.

[ghettoeddo]

LaBrie probably wasnt solid because his voice hasn't been in top shape since 1994 when he caught food poisoning which damanged his throat.

righto...lotsa people seem to glaze over that fact. kinda important.
he's only just and recently returned to full strength.

i heard a portion of "innocence faded" for score on that streaming mp3.
that high part at 2:22? guess who nails it?

[Inkstar]

Food Poisoning? I heard he got... vocal rupture.. or something? I really know nothing about it. Maybe the food poisoning triggered the rupture. Anywho, I heard he had that rupture from Falling into Infinity, up to ToT, but he returned to normal with 8vm.

[whotookmysandwitch]

Wow, with just recently getting into them I never really knew that. I thought his vocals throught all that were still good and on Octavarium were flat out amazing

[Atica]

yeh, but he sings pretty good althought that happened to him. I was also ignorant for the food poisoning.

[Inkstar]

Er...

[eug008]

Well it sure is great that LaBries voice has returned to it's usual state or even better

[ghettoeddo]

the food poisoning caused vomiting/vocal injury just to clear anything up.
but yea the labrie is back :] although he wont ever sound like the good ol I&W days

[badtaste]

Don't know if this old but:

G3: Satriani, Vai, Petrucci - Australia 2006

Steve will be joining Joe Satriani and John Petrucci for a long-awaited G3 tour of Australia in early December. Check back for exact dates.

vai.com

AUSTRALIAN FANS SHOULD BE SH!TTING THEIR PANTS RIGHT NOW!!

But this could be old, so you should be cleaning yourself (if that is the case).

[the2stranger]

I think LaBrie's voice on 8vm is the best since I&W.
He's really gained a lot of his capacity back.

[Tyr]

I think LaBrie's voice on 8vm is the best since I&W.
He's really gained a lot of his capacity back.
No doubt about. I hope it gets better still. When I saw them live last year his voice couldn't hold up for the whole show.

[the2stranger]

Indeed, he can't keep up the good voice all the show and starts to sing with a nasal tone, I hate that.
Besides that I have no complaint about Labrie, I love his voice.

[Tyr]

Me, too.

[lakayt]

i think he reduces the whole band's performance with his voice.his voice is not appropriate for their music at all

[the2stranger]

I must say I have been on a LTE binge lately and it's great too although hard to compare.

[Happy]

i think he reduces the whole band's performance with his voice.his voice is not appropriate for their music at all
Really?
I think it suits it perfectly.

[Lord Abortion]

i think he reduces the whole band's performance with his voice.his voice is not appropriate for their music at all
Out. Now.

[the2stranger]

LaBrie = vocal goodiness.

[Inkstar]

LaBrie is god. I love him. And I'm glad he saw through the bad times, and was commited to the band, to get through... what... almost 10 years of a 'bad' voice? Alot of other singers would've gotten themselves replaced or something after one year.

Oh, and THANK YOU GOD for G3 coming to Aus! I am SO there!!

[the2stranger]

Well, his voice wasn't that bad after he lost some of his range.
I mean, his range when he hadn't recovered yet was still bigger than most of our ranges.

[Happy]

/Me reminds everyone that LaBrie was Iron Maiden's first choice for Bruce's replacement.

That's how awesome he is.

[Atica]

/Me reminds everyone that LaBrie was Iron Maiden's first choice for Bruce's replacement.

I didn't knew that.

Good for the Australians, because G3 will never happen near my country. :(

[eug008]

Hell Yeh G3 in Aus, it will be expensive but worth it

[IbanezSamurai]

Now, how about another G3 US tour.

[Inkstar]

How about about a stfu because you get everything. :(

[Huber]

Now, how about another G3 US tour.

I'm for it.

[lak89]

yeah i'm totally up for another G3 tour from them as well, they should really come here!

[ghettoeddo]

How about about a stfu because you get everything. :(

thou shalt not be jealous :]

I try ghetto... :(

[ghettoeddo]

ive been listening to mroe LTE than DT altely...

and my first OSI download is at 99.2% and it WONT FINISH!

[eug008]

:lol: Your still downloading that

[Inkstar]

Haha I once got stuck on 99.8% for about 16 hours. Pissed me off like a mother.

<3 ghetto

[Shred Danson]

I have eyet to hear "Octavarium"...i heard it sucked thgoufh...


man..."As I am" kicks ***...though the solo reminds e of Zakk wylde lol

[Kirk's Puppet]

I'm in Melbourne at the moment, but I'd be back in Brunei in December :upset:

No G3 for me.

[eug008]

Where abouts is that?

[Kirk's Puppet]

It's on the same island with East Malaysia.

Wiki it up :p

[eug008]

Ah damn that sucks then (Missing G3)

[Kirk's Puppet]

Indeed.

I'm not a big fan of Vai and Satch anyways. How much I wish we could have Marty Friedman and Paul Gilbert on G3.

[eug008]

Friedman was on the G3 in Japan except for some reason he didn't end up on the DVD amirite?

[Happy]

I wish Vai And Satch didn't do G3.
Friedman, Petrucci and Gilbert would be godly.

[GenuineImitation]

I wish I could see, Satriani, Petrucci and Freidman do a G3 here in the states.

[Atica]

I wish to see Satch, Petrucci, and Gilbert, really don't care were but see them. :)

[GenuineImitation]

I wish to see Satch, Petrucci, and Gilbert, really don't care were but see them. :)


Same here, but I put the states out of convinience. THey couldnt come to the states and not play a new york show.

[Atica]

Same here, but I put the states out of convinience. THey couldnt come to the states and not play a new york show.

jajaja, I said it because I know its impossible to happen in my country, so if I am in a place where a G3 happens I'll go.

[GenuineImitation]

True, I didnt realize you lived in Guatemala until now.

Yeh, :( that's so sad when talking about concerts. Anyways here some local guitarists made some kind of G3, but it was G10, it was pretty cool. They even played in couples some covers.

Thats cool.

You mean to tell me that bands like Maiden or Priest wont even play there?

[Up The Irons]

Maiden won't even play here in San Francisco...

[Daven]

Guatemala has ver yfew concerts a year, and most of them are not very famous bands.

/Lives in Guatemala

[Atica]

Yeh and the majority of the bands are from Spain or Central and South America. But last month came Paul Diano and performed with a local band, they played some Maiden and some of his own work.

[ghettoeddo]

dream theater please guys :] i like dream theater.
a lot.

although i'd like petrucci (with a backup guitarrist) and vai. it coudl be G2. not to be confused w/ gigantour 2

[eug008]

Not a Satch fan ey?

[jpshortstuff]

Satch, Gilbert and Petrucci would own.

[pate]

Satch, Vai, Gilbert, Petrucci, and Alex Skolnick would be orgasmic. G5 FTW

Hell, Skolnick with any two of the others would own everything as well.

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

I'm not really a satch fan either, i think his stuff is a bit linear as opposed to vai's.

Petrucci, vai and skolnick ftw

[Storm In A Teacup]

Petrucci is one of those few "powerhouse" guitarists I like. My dad likes any of that playing, but I think it can get quite boring, however John is the man at guitar.

[Happy]

dream theater please guys :] i like dream theater.

Pretty exxy though. I got my DVD and CD for about $60 inc postage from UK to Aust, so yeah...

[playguitar]

Skolnick>Petrucci>Vai

[Kreator2112]

vai is obviously better than petrucci...i cant comment on skolnick though

[Chu]

I don't think any guitarist has **** on Petrucci tbh :/

[Otherside]

Herman Li?

[Kreator2112]

ej, satch, vai > jp

[Otherside]

Satch > JP >>>>>> Vai

[Kreator2112]

Fanboy.

Any Vai destroys JP's solo album.

[Otherside]

no I really don't like JP that much

I just really can't stand Vai

[playguitar]

I was talking about musical enjoyment.

[Kreator2112]

no I really don't like JP that much

I just really can't stand Vai

You are in the Dream Theater Thread.

I was talking about musical enjoyment.

Uhh...what?

[Inkstar]

Yo ladies make another thread if you're gunna talk about non-DT stuff.

[Otherside]

You are in the Dream Theater Thread.



Uhh...what?

sorry I wasn't aware that everyone else in DT quit the band and petrucci was releasing solo albums under the name my bad

[Kreator2112]

Well usually fans of the band are fans of the members in the bands. Usually that's how it works :thumb:

[Otherside]

Well I like Rudess and Myung alot but petrucci isn't really my favorite when it comes to guitars

[Kreator2112]

Who is? Vai?

[playguitar]

Well usually fans of the band are fans of the members in the bands. Usually that's how it works :thumb:

Got me.

[Otherside]

huh? I just said I couldn't stand Vai

Mikael Akerfeldt and Johnny Greenword are pretty high up there if I were to rank

[Kreator2112]

Yeah, I was kidding about Vai.

Akerfeldt kicks arse.

[Otherside]

no doubt

it's refreshing for someone in his genre to not be all about technicality and more about blending with the song and playing with emotion.

[Kreator2112]

He doesn't abuse the guitar too much.

He makes sweet love to it.

Brisbane convention center is an under 18 venue yes?

[Inkstar]

Sure is. Well, most gigs there are under 18. Got awesome?

[eug008]

You gonna come down to Brissie for this gig Inkstar? I'm gonna have to get a heap of money in a short amount of time (G2 and G3)

[Inkstar]

Yeah definitely man. We'll have to meet up. Doubt G2 will be under 18 though. :(

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

Speaking of skolnick, does anyone have Transformation? and if so...can i have it?

But yeah to be honest i think JP sounds better inside dream theater than he does on his solo product...the reason i think this is because JP's stuff is a little to reminiscent of satch and by this i mean like constant soloing over a riff or two. The reason i like the majority of vai's stuff better is because it seems like the rest of the instruments are actually there to contribute to the song rather than just provide backing for someone to solo over, if you catch my drift.

I also feel that vai is just more inventive and his works with vocals are great as opposed to petrucci and satch who (as far as i know) havn't used vocals.

[Inkstar]

Yeah JP does sound better in DT than solo, but that's because there's 3 (sometimes 4) other people bouncing ideas off each other. So they might write a riff, then Portnoy might say "oh what if you did it this way..." or whatever. On his solo project JP didn't have that much 'freedom'.

[eug008]

Yeah definitely man. We'll have to meet up. Doubt G2 will be under 18 though. :(
Dude it is

http://www.megadeth.com/index.php?section=killingroad

You gonna go?

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

Thats true, although i think the problem may of been that on his solo project he had too much freedom, seen as it was HIS project people probably didn't criticise him that much which then leads to a lack of developement of ideas.

But when you put so many great musicians together eg dream theater...the ideas are bound to progress and become better like what you said.

[Lord Abortion]

I need to get James' solo album:(

[eug008]

I can hook you up with it if you give me your email?

[Crazy and Stupid]

...except maybe The Veronicas. *shudders*
yeah i know what you mean.

[Inkstar]

Should come up to Brissie and pimp it with me and eug.

[Triangle]

I haven't listened to DT in ages...

[Crazy and Stupid]

Should come up to Brissie and pimp it with me and eug.
Nah you would hate me but thanks for the offer ;)

[Crazy and Stupid]

I haven't listened to DT in ages...
I don't blame you.

[mike-o]

No matter how hard I try, I can't get into this band. It's great to passively listen to, but when I pay attention to the music I get bored

[Happy]

I used to be like that, then they kinda grew on me and now I'm obsessed.

[ghettoeddo]

i cant NOT pay attention when listening...it hooks me immediately.

i listen to chidlren of bodom and i gotta let it drone and just play through. i love CoB, but i just can't focus on it like i can w/ DT

[Atica]

I can focus with Dream Theater, since the first time I heard them, I loved the band.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, same here, I bought I&W without listening to them beforehand, first chords of PMU and my jaw dropped.

[Atica]

Hey PMU was their first song I listened, it was because of my cousin, he also love DT.

[eug008]

The Glass Prison was the first DT song I listened to :cool:

[pep]

The first i listened to was Home i think.

[csl316]

mine was Overture 1928. it was my first taste of virtuoso keyboard.

i thought it was space music or something, considering i was half-asleep at the time

[Huber]

The first song I heard was PMU, but it didn't make me look further into the band. It wasn't until The JoZ shared The Glass Prison with all the members of the Tool thread a long time ago that I really looked into them. Now I have the whole discography.

[Shadows Within]

PMU was the first for me too, what movie whas that from? (if it was from one)

[Lionheart1827]

Erotomania was my first, but I once heard the intro to Metropolis Part 1 played at an NBA game back in the day.

[pep]

Thats because that intro is awesome.

[pate]

PMU was my first, after that I went into a big phase of not liking DT, but then I got smart and came around.

[kidthatplaysguitar91]

DT= awesome.
Alot of people hate the singing, he's my favorite singer hah.
I guess it kinda has to grow on you.

[burtonbassist_101]

the first song i heard of dream theater was.....the dance of eternity. i have reason to believe that's their best instrumental, although they're all good.

what's everyones fav. dt album? i'd have to say mine's either scenes from a memory, 6 degrees of inner turbulence, or train of thought.

[eug008]

My top 3 would be

1. Images and Words
2. Awake
3. Scenes From A Memory

[Lionheart1827]

My top 3 would be

1. Images and Words
2. Awake
3. Scenes From A Memory

Mine too, but switch 2 and 3.:thumb:

[Inkstar]

My first song was Regression/Overture 1928, seeing as my first album was Scenes From A Memory I believe. Awesome stuff. Hooked straight away.

[Chu]

Hey Chad.

Don't take the other day as an offensive attack at you, I was just trying to work out why?

[Chu]

Can you tell me why?

Do you just like the negative reaction it causes, or what?

[Lord Abortion]

Top 3=

1.Images and Words
2. Scenes from a memory
3. It's a tie between Falling into infinity and 6 Degrees of inner Turbulence.

[Chu]

Nah, I was asking why you keep coming back?

[DaveTheAmazing]

I don't get the big deal with I&W. I'd take 6DOIT, SFAM, and even 8v over it any day.

[GenuineImitation]

My top 3, as of now are:

1. I&W
2. 8v
3. Scenes from a Memory

My top 3 of all time:

1. Scenes from a Memory
2. I&W
3. Train of Thought

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

The first time i ever heard DT was when someone had it on their mp3 player years back and i took a quick listen, it just so happened to be on the kickass solo near the middle of erotomania. I forgot about the band for a long time then decided to listen to them one day and downloaded Dont look past me and i absolutely loved it, but for a long time i was convinced it was the glass prison because thats what the file was labeled as.

[GenuineImitation]

The new DVD is almost here. I can't wait for it much longer.

[Liquid Fantasy]

I wish it'd come earlier so i can actually buy it the same day it comes out.

[pate]

My top 3:

1. ToT
2. I&W
3. Awake

[Happy]

I wish it'd come earlier so i can actually buy it the same day it comes out.
Why don't you pre-order it?

[Myung666]

hey anyone else notice that john myung taps wen ytse jam starts in instrumedly

[Happy]

Yes, I always tap it on guitar for some reason though.
