Dream Theater

[Atica]

Yeh, more Train of Thought would be better, anyways it is good. Ytse Jam would be great to see live.

[ThisGuy]

I really didn't like Score's setlist when I first read what is was. It was the same thing with some songs in Budokan, but when I saw the songs perfomed live in the dvd, I started liking them a lot. It was the exact same thing with Score. The songs grew on me quickly.

and the first time I listened to it, it was on my old *** tv with one of its built in speakers broken. I could only hear the right channel so Petrucci's guitar was barely audible, especially during his solos. Even so, I still enjoyed the performance. I listened to a few minutes of the dvd on my living room's tv after, and it sounded perfect. I'm gonna buy a dvd drive for my computer tommorrow so I could listen to with my good speakers.

[ghettoeddo]

mMm jem's are sexy...

the documentary is one of the best things haha. john myung talking = gold

the spirit carries on has an extended petrucci intro like hollow years on budokan, but better. i know hard to believe.

[Happy]

Score's setlist is meant to work out to fit the 8 and 5 theme used in 8v.

[ThatOneDrummer]

Score's setlist is meant to work out to fit the 8 and 5 theme used in 8v.
never thought of that...how so?

[Lord Abortion]

I'm such a dickwit, I just realised that Score is called that because a score is 20, and it's their 20th anniversary show. :(

And the musical score part, obviously.

[Happy]

never thought of that...how so?
8 songs in the first part of the setlist, 5 in the second, with the orchestra.

8 parts of six degrees are played, then 5 more songs afterwards

5 of the 8 songs of 8v are on the setlist

[Dimebag Johnny Patton]

8 songs in the first part of the setlist, 5 in the second, with the orchestra.

Wow...I love how DT and Tool both seem to put these kind of hidden stuff into their music.

[ThatOneDrummer]

yeah i know, like theres this huge story behind the artwork in ocavarium and in the title track theres lots of themes from the rest of the album...how long that must have taken to write makes me dizzy

[Inkstar]

nope...that's a big problem w/ score. six degrees is listed as one song, all 40 minutes of it :(

It's not a problem at all. DT always intended it to be one full 40 minute track, but unfortunately they had to split for the album. I think it's great that they didn't split for SCORE because that's how it was intentionally written, and how it should be.

[lak89]

yeah DT puts so much hidden stuff in their music, wasn't there a morse code-ish thing found in the middle of "In The Name Of God"?

Got my copy of Score, absolutely amazing

[Atica]

Wow that's amazing, they really know what they are doing. That's why they are the greates band ever.

[ThatOneDrummer]

Got my copy of Score, absolutely amazing
yeah and the morse code says "eat my *** and balls" :lol: its mike portnoys motto
in the part of octavarium where james screams you can hear mike say "root, second, third,fourth,fifth,sixth,seventh,octo" and during each number the track that corresponds with that number(root=the root of all eveil, so on) is played in the background

[Atica]

Yeh, that part of Octavarium is preetty good, and the changes from one type of song to another are well adapted.

[ghettoeddo]

there are WAY too many sembalnces and gems...

octavarium is probably my single most favorite track thus far.
and again...labrie's singing is really ace on score. it's VERY good. most of my friends who normally don't like his voice had to admit it was bearable and decent,

[Inkstar]

Octavarium has so many nuggets it's not even funny.

It's amazing.

[eug008]

I know, his vocals deliver just as good as the I&W tour, maybe even better. Can't wait to get this DVD after listening to the CD

[Inkstar]

My CD comes on Monday. :D

[Happy]

My DVD came today :D

It comes up as black and white on my PS2, so I'll have to watch it downstairs later.

[6-String_Slinger]

We could go way way into all the intricacies of 8vm, the song and the album. But as far as Score goes, wow! Phenomenal show. I think the setlist is definitly a better representation of Dream Theater over all as opposed to Live at Budokan. Budokan was a shredfest. This is a prog-fest. I know almost everyone was dissappointed (as was I) when the ToT song for the show was "Vacant" but it was done to best match the orchestra to DT's sound. Honestly, do you think a 35+ piece orchestra could have worked on "This Dying Soul"? All the players perfrom amazingly. LaBrie definitly stands out for the night, his vocals were nothing short of stellar the entire show. Portnoy (probably with the curfew in mind) rushed A LOT, many parts of Six Degres, Sacrificed Sons, 8vm and even Metropolis lost their groove. You can see Petrucci turning around and giving Mike a look like "come on man, chill!" but oh well. They all did amazing and we're lucky to have such a great dvd on our hands. To those who were there, I envy you! how will/can they top it?

[Thor]

Anyone seen this video?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hQ9uxxHiOLU

It's a really impressive cover of This Dying Soul. The musicians also make some pretty funny expressions from time to time as well. Certainly something worth watching.

[Happy]

By shaving john's beard off and doing it again.

[Thor]

...and on another note, Overture 1928 is amazing. I've finally gotten into Scenes From A Memory and I just can't get enough of that track.

[Triangle]

ah Score's out!?

/downloads

[alytee123]

...and on another note, Overture 1928 is amazing. I've finally gotten into Scenes From A Memory and I just can't get enough of that track.

The DVD Live Scenes From New York is fantastic. I never bought the album just downloaded a few tracks, so now whenever I think of the album or a song off the album I think of the live version, I like it that way though cause its a great performance.

[Happy]

ah Score's out!?

/downloads
You should buy it :angry:

[ThisGuy]

Sacrifised Sons was my favorite part of the dvd. Seriously, that ending with orchestra! It couldn't have been any better! Funny thing is that I always skipped that track when listening to Octavarium but now it's one of my favorite songs.

[eug008]

That was pretty ace, check out his cover of YTSE jam, they pretty much nailed it.

[Chu]

Thanks Thor, just made me realise, I in fact have been listening to the wrong 'This Dying Soul' for pretty much the past year. Thanks dude :angry:

This is why you shouldn't download music, I also know I have the wrong As I Am, I wonder what else from ToT I have that's mislabeled...

Edit: I ****en love This Dying Soul. :o

HAH! When the guitarist goes to get feedback at the start he looks like he's chucking a piss. :P

[Miek]

K, well I didn't really like Images and Words, do you guys have a reccomendation for a different album that I might like?

[Chu]

Depends on what you like...

I think Awake is a pretty solid album, from all fronts..

[eug008]

Thanks Thor, just made me realise, I in fact have been listening to the wrong 'This Dying Soul' for pretty much the past year. Thanks dude :angry:

Edit: I ****en love This Dying Soul. :o
Dude please upload that "fake" track cause I thought the fake As I Am was a pretty ace song and I'm guessing it's by the same band? Anyone know what band it is? And yeh go with Awake, it's got a more "darker" feel to it.

[MRDuCran]

I downloaded a few mislabled DT tracks off of ToT too I think, but now I have it, it's my favourite album by them. I haven't actually listened to every song but the one's I have are amazing.

[Jimi Haze]

Nothing beats Images and Words.

'Nuff said really :D

Although Train of Thought is good for the heavy stuff, I'm firm on 'In the Name of God' being one of their best songs (if you can call it that). Still.....doesn't match up to Metropolis IMO

[jpshortstuff]

/hasn't got Score yet
/hides

in my defence i just ordered a ToT shirt a few days ago so i dont have much money

[Lord Abortion]

I still haven't got it yet, either.
I&W is still my favourite album:)

[pep]

I&W is my favorite also. I just bought SCORE and its awesome, although i fell asleep during Sacrificed Sons, but Metropolis makes up for it.

[Lord Abortion]

I fell asleep during LATB once, but I hadn't slept in nearly three days by that point, so it was excusable.

[pep]

I was just comming from running on the beach, and I took a bath, and I just kinda faded away. Then I woke up on the begining of Octavarium with JR and a wierd sound so I muted the tv and sleeped some more:p

[Happy]

His intro to Octavarium really does go on too long.

[bwnstl]

I was at wal-mart last night picking up some snacks in preparation to watch a movie, and I decided to make a pit-stop in the electronics section to see if they had Score. I didn't expect them to at all, but to my complete surprise, they did! This, of course, meant that I HAD to get it, so now all my money is gone. :(

[IbanezSamurai]

Score is awesome but the packaging was disappointing. I know you can't judge a book by it's cover but it is their 20th anniversary dvd. I was hoping for atleast a cool indepth Dream Theater booklet or something.

[eug008]

His intro to Octavarium really does go on too long.
123, I usualy skip it on the CD and now he extends it for twice as long...

[ghettoeddo]

i kinda like the intro...makes the song as a whole much better.

the glass prison was playing at the guitar center near my college :]
i am officially 18 in 5 hours WUTEWUTE!!!

they also played liquid tension songs during my orientation...it was freaking amazing to hear LTE rip through the courtyard of my school.

[Lord of Sword]

his intro solo was probably what ended up costing them $30,000 in curfew fees.


i also thought sacrificed sons wasn't the best song to play live, probably the only downside to the gig i went to (besides the lack of air conditioning), but maybe they thought it was even more appropriate to play since they were in NY.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I love Sacrificed sons...I guess it would be pretty emotional to play in NY though.

[Chu]

Dude please upload that "fake" track cause I thought the fake As I Am was a pretty ace song and I'm guessing it's by the same band? Anyone know what band it is? And yeh go with Awake, it's got a more "darker" feel to it.
My mislabled 'This Dying Soul' is called God's Funeral, by Superior. Dunno what my mislabled As I Am is (It has similar lyrics to DT's, so tracking it down is ****ing hard...).
Even though they are mislabled, they're pretty cool songs, they all have a taste of progressive metal, I can easily see why I got them mixed up with Dream Theater songs :p

I just heard the real This Dying Soul yesterday, and I must say, I want Train of Thought :)

[chorbalan]

So is Score worth getting. I can guess it's good, but is it better than Live in Budokan?

[eighty d]

Should be "Not With Me," also by Superior.

[Chu]

Cool.

[Lionheart1827]

Yeah, I love Sacrificed sons...I guess it would be pretty emotional to play in NY though.

Yeah it was very emotional. Some lady started to cry a few seats over as soon as the clips of the WTC were shown. I'm sure she wasn't the only one.:(

[6-String_Slinger]

I thought Rudess's strings/continuum intro was a little long but still interesting, if we wouldn't have done the random noise/both fingers just sliding down the whole keyboard bit I would have loved it all. Rudess is ACE but when he gets wanky I immediately lose interest. Ghettoeddo, I turned 18 yesterday (sept 2) way to go!!! (I'm gona be a senior in HS though). I can only imagine how emotional it was to see "Sacrificed Sons" in NY, it was really moving for me to see it played with the footage in Minnesota...

AND YES, Score is worth getting and better than Budokan if you're a DT fan, if you're a shred/metal head and like DT just for JP's ripping, you probably would just enjoy watching Budokan on repeat.

[Chu]

if you're a shred/metal head and like DT just for JP's ripping, you probably would just enjoy watching Budokan on repeat.
:naughty:

It is that good.

[hendrixonpunk]

Boy is this sad. I'm looking at getting a MusicMan John Petrucci signature guitar, and I've never even heard Dream Theatre.

P.S. My neighbour's name is John Petrucci.

[6-String_Slinger]

MMJPs are great guitars, light, contoured body, slim fast necks and unique cool pickups. The bridge is the best thing about that guitar wow, a floyd rose without the hassles. If you want to play fast and percise, go for it. and check out DT asap, start with Images and Words or Scenes from a Memory (if you're a shred/metal guy at heart, go straight to Train of Thought)


and Dream Theater (yes the actual guys) HATE it when you spell it "Theatre"

no worries, CHEERS!

[hendrixonpunk]

[ghettoeddo]

i am officially 18 haha

i think score as a whole is better than budokan. i miss teh subtitles for the songs though...

and i am getting more and more addicted to "i walk beside you." it's so fsckin catchy...

hendrix...yourneighbor is petrucci adn you dont know who he is?!!?!

i've got myself a petrucci (dark cherry burst) and it's the best guitar i've played hands down. thing is...it didnt come w/ a floyd rose...can i get that installed ?

Happy b-day.:thumb:

I have listened through Octavarium many times, and I cannot stand I Walk Beside You. The pre-chorus sounds awesome, but the chorus ruins the whole song for me. It sounds so U2 and I absolutely cannot stand that group.:angry:

But I digress. Being at that show was amazing.:thumb:

And with the guitar, do you mean the Ernie Ball? Technically you CAN get a floyd rose, but it will require a fair amount of work. If I recall, the Petrucci sig has a standard style tremelo rather than a floating tremelo. His old Ibanez sig models had Floyds/Edges but his Ernie Balls have a special standard one. This means you'll prob have to get some new drilling, cutting for the floyd to even fit in the cavity and the locking nut as well as springs I believe.

[eug008]

Imo, his Ibanez > MusicMan

[Chu]

i am officially 18 haha
and i am getting more and more addicted to "i walk beside you." it's so fsckin catchy...
Well, first of all, happy birthday man :chug:

Second, I Walk Beside You is indeed catchy, it's the worst song by Dream Theater because when it comes on.. I can't help myself :amaze:

[Inkstar]

GOT MY SCORE CD'S TODAY!!

Sounds awesome!

Although I must say, because MP knew how tight the curfew was getting, he REALLY pushed Octavarium. Like, so fast it almost ruined the song imo. Still great though.

Bring on the DVD imo.

[Speedy Fingers]

Gots my Score DVD's 'n' CD's today.

Man am I happy! I'm yet to listen or watch either, but i've just started listening to the first disc now.

I rarely post here, just thought i'd come in 'n' say HALLO!

HALLO!

[Happy]

Is the CD any different?

[Huber]

So I go to two different places yesterday and none of them had Score.

Buncha bitches I say!

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

Got my copy of score dvd today, most probably the only one in worthing...because i bought the only copy from the only shop in my town that was likely to have it.

Congrats on being 18.

Thats just a coincidnce. The real JP lives in St. James Long Island, not Ontario, Cananda.

[Happy]

hey GI, were you the guy with the big white sheet?

I can't make out what's on it but I see it every now and again.

[GenuineImitation]

hey GI, were you the guy with the big white sheet?

I can't make out what's on it but I see it every now and again.


No, that was LionHeart if I remmebr correctly. I was weraing a Zeppelin shirt, about 30 rows back holding a huge white sign.

[Happy]

I'll have to watch for it then.

[ghettoeddo]

ohh 30 rows back...i thought he said row 6.

will getting my ernie ball's body drilled to fit the floyd rose...is that worth it you think? will it change the tone a lot? i mean, my tremolo is great except that it's realy low, so i can't rotate it back around if you know what i mean. it gets stuck hitting the volume know and it's kinda uncomfortable to paly as it gets in the way sometimes.

[6-String_Slinger]

eug: I think his Music Man is superior. Have you played both and know from experience or just going off what you've seen/heard him play? Because I definetly love older JP tone better (circa Once in a Livetime) but I think the actual MMJP guitar is superior.

Lionsheart: I used to be right with you on dispising I Walk Beside You (the key change made me cringe horribly) but now I've come to terms with it. The song as a whole is so cool I'm willing to ignore a few shortcomings.

ghettoeddo: I'd stick with the bridge you've got in your MMJP, MM doesn't make any other bridge like that and IMO it's phenomenal. If you really really want a FR, as long as you had a good luthier drill/install/set it up for you you should be good and probably only lose the tiniest tiniest bit of sustain (most of it happens right behind your bridge)


and to the rest of you just getting SCORE....what's the deal? Just slow to get it or do you live in the boondocks? Pre-ordering is definetly foolish, it almost always comes late.... I walked into Best Buy around 10:30 on tuesday and got my dvd...for 14.99 :D

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, mine is coming on Wednesday, and I'm never preordering anything again.

[Lionheart1827]

Congrats on being 18.

Thats just a coincidnce. The real JP lives in St. James Long Island, not Ontario, Cananda.

I actually have his address, but I'm not gonna post it. :D

And about me in the audience, I didn't have a sheet, but I had a white shirt, I pointed myself out in a screencap a page or two back.:thumb:

[ghettoeddo]

aiite ill keep the normal bridge...i thought all JPMM's came w/ the floyd rose haha guess not.

and i prefer the musicman's tone over the ibanez..

NP: know your enemy-RATM

[Atica]

Last week I saw, and played a JP Music Man guitar, not quite sure what model it was, but sounded pretty good. I prefer that guitar over my Ibanez, the problem is that I didn't had any money at that moment, so couldn't buy it, and when I went this week it was already gone. :upset:

[Huber]

the JP MusicMan with Piezos is such an awesome guitar.

[ghettoeddo]

yea the piezo actually sounds somewhat decent...on my amp settings anyway. idk how it sounds so horrible as it sometimes does when petrucci uses it live. like on spirit carries on...once the guitar comes in, it destroys the great atmosphere that labrie and rudess created haha

[Happy]

I played his signature 7 string a while back at the guitar show...

Guess it was a crappy model, cos I would've chosen an Ibanez over it any day.

[eug008]

It would probably be the lower priced ones if it was crappy I guess?

To: 6 string, I actually haven't played any of them :lol: but the Ibanez's looks are pretty killer :cool:, and the other high end Ibanez play pretty good.

[Lord Abortion]

I now have Score on CD.
:D


NP-I walk beside you...this is awesome.

[Happy]

It would probably be the lower priced ones if it was crappy I guess?
I never saw the price but the guy looked pretty pissed off because I weren't supposed to play it.

[ghettoeddo]

i actually dont really like the ibanez's paint jobs and stuff..that weird picasso fa ce and wahtnot.

i think his mystic dream and other color schemes are sexy though. plus that shiny blue double-neck? mMmMm

[GenuineImitation]

I actually have his address, but I'm not gonna post it. :D

And about me in the audience, I didn't have a sheet, but I had a white shirt, I pointed myself out in a screencap a page or two back.:thumb:

You wouldnt mind telling me it over AIM, would you? I wont bother him, I just want to see his house (and maybe him) with my own eyes.


How did you get the adress anyway?

[DaveTheAmazing]

Anyone but me really disappointed with the orchestra on Score?

[Happy]

Bit quiet at times, otherwise it's all good.

[Lionheart1827]

You wouldnt mind telling me it over AIM, would you? I wont bother him, I just want to see his house (and maybe him) with my own eyes.


How did you get the adress anyway?

Yeah me too. I want to see how big his house is and what car he drives. I dont know if you remember but like a week or two after the April 1st show, my friend was working at his job, DSW. A woman came and he noticed her name was Rena Petrucci. He noticed the last name and jokingly said "I bet you know who Dream Theater is" and she said "Yeah John is my husband, hes next door buying catfood."

So anyway, like a few days ago, my friend said that you can go into the DSW database and find the adress to anyone who used their credit card. Its used for sending out ads and stuff. I dont have it right this instant, but if my friend is on register tonight, I'll most likely have it by the time he gets off work.:thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

Petrucci:" Could I buy some cat food please?"
Clerk :eek: *hands him a guitar*
Petrucci "No, C-A-T F-O-O-D"
Clerk :eek:
Petrucci: "God damnit, why does this always..."
*leaves*
Clerk :eek:

[Happy]

I touched Petrucci one time.

It definitely helped my guitar playing.

[Lord Abortion]

Petrucci *walks back into shop*
*Snatches guitar and plays blazing fast solo*
*Steals cat food*
"That's my payment, bitch"

[Lionheart1827]

Haha, I remember when my friend told me he was next door buying catfood, I just LOL'ed because I just had a picture in my head of Petrucci carrying two giant tubs of catfood under each arm with a muscle shirt on.:thumb:

[6-String_Slinger]

eug: you're definetly right, the high end Ibanezes play killer and the paint job is cool (all but the camo one......LAME). Probably why JP chose Ibanez for signature model....just a guess. He parted with Ibanez over contract differences or so I hear.

Oh and by the way......that sunburst JP model he used on Score......wow....just wow, have you ever seen something so sexy?

[ghettoeddo]

this is getting borderline stalker-ish. i dont think mr. petrucci, bulging biceps and all, would appreciate our actions

I WANT HIS ADDRESS SO I CAN WRITE HIM LETTERS TOO!!!

jk.
maybe.
*shifty eyes*

[Lionheart1827]

Nah I'm not gonna send him a letter, or knock on his door, or wait outside his house until he comes out. The last thing I want to do is make one of my guitar idols feel like hes being stalked by me.:thumb:

Cool stuff.

[ghettoeddo]

blast it he's coming out w/ a new model soon...and i JUST got the musicman

[Lionheart1827]

blast it he's coming out w/ a new model soon...and i JUST got the musicman

I want petrucci's adress:(

But yeah if anyones interested, i have found DT's entire back catalogue inc demos, singles, bootlegs, fanclub cds etc on a torrent site if anyone wants the link.

Its 6gb, hence why i havn't downloaded it yet.
Damn i'm excited about the new studio album :D :D (even though it wont be out for aaaaaaaages)

Seriously, you post the most random things, sometimes.

It's good **** though :amaze:

[Inkstar]

Anyone but me really disappointed with the orchestra on Score?

Nup. They were pretty much at the right leve, if only a little too quiet in Octavarium, but it was great. They were just meant to be there for the background, not as loud as the other instruments.

But I don't think it's good to be disappointed. MP only had the idea to play with an orchestra half way through the Octavarium tour, so they had to get it all written and arranged in such a short amount of time, and it's very complex music AND DT only rehersed with the orchestra once, which was the day before the show.

imo they did the best they could. Brilliant show.

[eug008]

Yeah, I hated the orchestra on S&M because they completley overwhelmed the guitars, the volume on Score was maybe a little low but still good.

It's good **** though
Why thankyou :)

[Rainmaker]

blast it he's coming out w/ a new model soon...and i JUST got the musicman


join the club, i ordered mine about 3 weeks ago, now i hear this.....bugger.

is it just the same guitar, just different holes around the pickups, (why i dont know) and now transparent colours and flame/quilted maple tops.....like the one on score?? i wont be too bothered if thats all it is, coz ill be having mine in mystic dream, and that needs to be a solid colour anyway. and mine will be coming with the updated pickup in the bridge, (D-sonic) and the compensated nut. so i dunno whats different?

[inassociationwithdeanlearner]

I'd be interested, but damn, 6gb?

I got rapidshare links for heaps of official bootlegs but not all of the ones in that torrent if you like?

[6-String_Slinger]

is the d sonic really stock on all his new guitars? I know he likes it because of the ToT/8vm downtuned stuff but i thought i was just using it in some of his guitars that the downtuned, not in all his models. Oh well. As far as a new model, I'm sure Rainmaker is pretty spot on. JP has said repeatedly that his model/body style is absolutly perfect for him, in his mind it's the best possible guitar on the planet. I bet we just see a couple add-ons, some flame/quilt finishes (drools) and possibly covered pickups as seen on Score.

[ghettoeddo]

yupyupyup

i actually dont even know what pickups are in mine...

[Rainmaker]

mines costing, £2k, 7 string, mystic dream, matching headstock, inlays, and piezo, so the whole bundle really, thought id go all out. simply cant wait for it.

yea, the d-sonic and the compensated nut are going to be standard on all orders taken from april 2006, or should i say since apr 06, but still.

like i said, if its just the laminated top, im ok with that, and i dont like the idea/look of covered pups on this guitar that much anyway, wouldnt go well with the mystic dream!

i think the pickups on the pre-dsonic model, are custom dimarzios based on the steve's special (i think, not sre on that one) for the bridge, and the air norton for the neck.

but whatever options are on it, it is one AMAZING guitar!

[Happy]

Whats the sound quality like on the official bootlegs? if its good i wouldn't mind the tokyo one.

how much is 2000 pounds in US dollars? haha

[Lord Abortion]

about $4500-$5000

[Happy]

But still, it'd be cheaper than that in America.

[jpshortstuff]

ordered ScoreDVD the other day, should be here by Sat. my ToT shirt still isn't here :upset:

every time i watch a DT DVD i always see JM as being more amazing than i thought he was. hes so cool.

[ghettoeddo]

about $4500-$5000

oh my god. i wouldnt pay that much for any guitar...

every time i watch a DT DVD i always see JM as being more amazing than i thought he was. hes so cool.

it's cuz he's korean ;)

[pep]

Dammit, i always thought he was chinese.

[Rainmaker]

how much is 2000 pounds in US dollars? haha


i used a currency converter and it said 3700, which is a lot better than 4 5o 5k....

guitars are always more expensive over here, its ****e, and if we try to import them, we get ****ed over on the import and customs etc etc, so it ends up about them same price.

3700 is still a bit pricey for me at this point. im a poor college student! haha
i ended up shelling $1750 for mine and it doesn't have the floyd rose, locking tuners and whatnot. but the tuners stay in tune and the tremolo works so whatever :]

[Atica]

I want petrucci's adress:(

But yeah if anyones interested, i have found DT's entire back catalogue inc demos, singles, bootlegs, fanclub cds etc on a torrent site if anyone wants the link.
Can you give me the link? thanks :thumb:

Today I went again to see Petruiccis ssignature guitar again, and used it for about half an hour in the store. It is so amazing, the problem is that it costs Q24,600 ($3,075) and I don't have that amount of money. :upset:

[eighty d]

None of the EBMM Petrucci models have a Floyd Rose. He worked with Music Man and they designed a tremolo specifically for the way he plays. The result is a trem that stays in tune through dive bombs and flutters almost as well as a Floyd, without the hassles.

There are some videos on youtube I think that show Petrucci working with Music Man designing the guitar.

even though i paid 2000 pounds, if you were to buy the exact same model in america, you wouldnt pay 3700 dollars, you'd pay a lot lot less, dunno what, just less!!!

gonna say, dont they all come stock with locking tuners? and the bridge is a special designed one for JP like someone said.

[Lionheart1827]

Not to sound like a stalker, but I passed by Petrucci's house today.

Either works. hahahaha. I would've come up with the most retarded reason to ring the doorbell, if needed. :naughty:

[Lionheart1827]

Haha, I dont know if I'd be able to go up and ring it. He seems like the kind of person that enjoys his privacy. I dont want to compromise that.:thumb:

However, If I was his neighbor.:naughty:

Anyway, I passed by after I had some dinner with a friend, it was around 10:30 at night so no pics. It looks like one of those houses you see in magazines, not too huge, but impressive. Lots of foilage. Looks brand new.:thumb:

Haha, I'm a stalker :(

ya pansy! Not ringing his doorbell. Just think of "the drama queen method" You were being attacked by big scary angry black men and you get a hug from him! hahahhahahaha

I'm sure most of you guys have seen this, but if you haven't then its worth posting.

[eug008]

Yeah we've already seen it, pretty cool neverless

[Lionheart1827]

I knew just about all of that stuff, but that bit in Octavarium about Intervals in which portnoy says "Root, second, third," and it would play a part of each song, I never noticed that.:thumb:

[Inkstar]

Yeah I didn't notice it before I read it either, but at the time I hadn't actually listened to the song much anyway.

[Happy]

I actually thought it was the other way round at first after reading that site.
I thought Portnoy said "root" and so on in the actual songs that were sampled.

[jpshortstuff]

Score came on friday. Sacrificed sons is much better than i thought it was. yeah.

@petrucci'shouse - he probably has a monkey butler to open the door for him and chase away potential stalkers.

[Atica]

Thanks inassociationwithdeanlearner. :)
My friend told me that Score is here at my country, I'll go today to see if it is true and buy it.

[ghettoeddo]

score should be shipped to every country in this world.

the biggest improvement was labrie's voice. such a huge difference from budokan

[Lord Abortion]

James only went slightly downhill on LATB on the encores.
And only on the highnotes, his delivery on Disappear is magnificent.

[fuzzyhair]

My only complaint was on the Score extras where they play Honor Thy Father, James is all out of breath. But it is a heavy song, so that makes up for it.

[eug008]

Hows the quality of the extras?

[Inkstar]

Still waiting on my copy of SCORE DVD... JB Hi-Fi is gay.

[ghettoeddo]

Hows the quality of the extras?

the great debate is actually quite good.
honor thy father was meh...but it's a meh song to begin with.
and another day left a lot to be desired as well, but wasn't wholly bad.

wish there was live footage of blind faith or something...

[Chu]

I always thought Honour Thy Father was one of the better songs from ToT, well until I found out that I didn't have the correct ToT :mad:

Now I really want to get ToT, so I can see why it gets so much flak.

I have a few of the correct ToT songs, but As I Am, and This Dying Soul are at least 2 tracks I have that are mislabled.

[TojesDolan]

I'm rediscovering "falling into infinity". It's pop, sure. But good one. A little bit pretentious, but good enough for me to like it.

It's got a few nice tracks on it I guess. (Peruvian Skies, Hollow Years, Hell's Kitchen etc.)

Don't worry man we still like Dream Theater, were you ever a dt fan plexi?

[Charlie Manson]

Nah back when "Images and Words" was about so many musicians I thought had good taste were all like "THIS IS INSANE IT'S REALY COOL!" so I sunk $29.95aud of my hard earned cash into buying it and to be perfectly honest it is the worst $29.95aud I've ever spent.

[eug008]

It cost you $30??? Where abouts did you buy it and why do you dislike it?

[Inkstar]

Wait? What's that?

Ink has premium tickets to the G3 concert in Brisbane? Oh.. and what's that? Ink gets to meet John Petrucci and Mike Portnoy backstage? And.. he's in the third row at the concert?

I thought so.

Sanity at Sydney Airport.

I dislike the following:
* Lyrics that try to sound deep but fail dismally.
* Vocals that lack emotion.
* Very generic drumming.
* A general lack of exciting atmosphere throughout the CD.

I like the following:
* The soprano sax solo in Another Day.

just so other brisbane-ites know... i walked into the jb hifi at the hyperdome on the 29th and Score was there...... (yes i bought it, dont ask silly questions!)

must also express my immeasurable joy at getting G3 tickets... :D

Eh, still not sure whether i'll be able to get to G3, which tickets did you get thunderbass?

[ThunderBass]

yeah the DVD... i read on the site as well that the 15th was the release date but i walked in on the 29th anyway and there it was... my joy was immeasurable... :)

and my G3 tickets are section 10, gold class... not the absolute greatest available but still pretty sweet... im off to the side but towards the front...

Sacrificed Sons has got to be one of the most fun songs to play. the instrumental section i mean. its great. after watching it on Score i had to learn it.

[ghettoeddo]

hmm that says alot about the quality of his vocalism...

to each his own.
the latest performance on score shows labrie at the top of his game and he's solid man. solid. his range is amazing and he's got quite a powerful voice.

and again manson...he was maiden's first choice for replacing bruce dickinson if that says anything.

[eug008]

Yeah, I dunno what your talkin about plexi he's a great vocalist...

[Atica]

Yeah!!!! I just bought Score!!! I'm so happy. :p I was lucky because at the store I just saw it and grabbed it without knowing if I was able to buy it, and then a guy came in and asked for it, but I said I was going to buy it so when my parents came into the store they bought it, and I gave them the money in the house. :p

Not too bad man, pumpin the Score CD right now. You should check it out Plexi since you have only heard I&W right?

I might just do that.

Hahaha, true. It really is painful for me to listen to their music - I just can't identify with it on any level, emotional or musical - but I'll give it a shot, paying specific attention to the rest of the band. I only have Scenes From A Memory...

Check out Images & Words. Some great stuff on there. Also, 'Take Away My Pain' is about the death of JP's father, so if you want an emotional level that one's a great song. Very nice to listen to. :)

haha cuz DT knows they kick the **** outta mastodon.
thank god for portnoy being mature

and yea misunderstood is godly. one of my favorite songs ever

[Altmer]

forgive me but I don't even know who Mastodon are

But I do know that DT kicks their *** anyway, whoever they are, because DT can act mature.

I actually think a lot of DT songs are quite coherent. The problem is there aren't enough of them to make an album coherent usually (barring SFAM and I&W imo).

That's why I think most stuff they release is just hard to get into; the songs sometimes don't make any sense.

Singing is a good thing in metal, but LaBrie can be iffy live...so I don't know where Mastodon get their opera comment from, because LaBrie is no Turunen... by any means.

You heard LaBrie on their new Live CD/DVD yet? He's pretty ace.
