I think it's amazing how they managed to make such a complex album, and think of all these ideas in such a short time. It didn't seem like that long between when they were still touring ToT and 8VM was released.

I agree with your statement. I also believe that people dont give the album enough credit. It is a good album, especially for one written in a short amount of time.

[QUOTE=toaster135]Wow, that's cool. He doesn't seem like the guy who would do that though, maybe MP or something. :p

Why are you guys so unimpressed?? I was totally enthused when I realized how many nuggets were in Octavarium.. I don't think its so bad, either. Some good tracks on there.[/QUOTE]
It's Mp's motto in life...

Anyone got a pic of Petrucci front on from one of the recent gigs by any chance at all?

Sorry, not the greatest pic ever.

Edit - Nevermind, didn't realise the front on part.

Just curious, what song were they playing when you took the picture?

Can't remember, it probably would have been 'Fatal Tragedy' though.

Hey it still helps thanks.

Ah, check out [url=http://photobucket.com/albums/a34/Phreeck/]Phreeck's photobucket[/url], (s)he's got some great Petrucci pics (they were posted in a thread in the gutiar forum)

I was about there in the crowd. But a bit to the right, so I was right infront of JP.

Have you got the slick beard to go with it though?

Nah, I'm thinking I'll look stupid with the hair on it's own though. My hair's super long.

Looks like a trendy/indie kid haircut without the beard me thinks.

:( but I don't know how else to do it.

here's a couple i took. i was about 8 rows back for the first set and 4 during the 2nd, but for some bizarre reason, my digital camera has a slow shutter speed and takes about 2 seconds to take the picture, so most of them came out blurred. there were a few good ones though (i went to the wolverhampton gig btw)

He uses a double-neck on "Soiltary Shell" too.

oic. They didn't play that at the gig I went to.

[QUOTE=Happy]Neat. In the last one he's playing Octavarium right?[/QUOTE]

yes, the only time he used the double neck that night. the other 2 i think are from the glass prison.

So what the hell is Petrucci doing with himself these days?
He's starting to look gayer and gayer, first was the Edward Scissorhands impersination and now it's the "I haven't had a shower for a while" look. :confused:
He was so pro with long hair :(

Heh, I agree. Post some pics of what he looks like lately, though, I haven't seen any.

I was just on his website and saw a picture of his wife, who also plays guitar. She's got quite a rack. Good going, JP. :naughty:

Apparently Half of DT's band memeber's wives were in some band called Meanstreak

Look at JP's goth boots :lol:

[QUOTE=Material Boy]i was about 8 rows back for the first set and 4 during the 2nd.[/QUOTE]

So was I, you may have seen me. I was wearing a Maiden shirt and I had my hair tied back, and I am quite tall and sexy:naughty: . If you saw anyone's CD getting thrown on stage, it was mine:naughty: .

Those boots are cool.
/wants some.

[QUOTE=nowitzki]Look at JP's goth boots :lol:[/QUOTE]

Why did someone get on the floor on the stage just so they could take a picture of JP's boots?

I have no idea whatsoever. When there's Mike's magnificent monster to behold.
