I'm just gettin into listening to them. Anyone recommend some good songs? I already have some stuff off Octavarium.

[QUOTE=Kirk's Puppet]Just bought I&W Live in Tokyo and 5 Years in a Livetime.

Myung was freaking hyper back then. The commentaries were funny :lol:

Someone: What're you playing there, John?
Myung: Uhh... yeah, bass. (Same reply as LSFNY :lol: )

Someone: Miracle, what's this song about?
Ruddess: Yeah, what's this song about, John?
Myung: It's about 5 minutes.

:lol: :lol:

Myung's the greatest member of the freaking band.[/QUOTE]
That's brilliant :lol:

Metropolis pt. 1 (the greatest DT song of aaaaalllll), Learning to Live, Take the Time, A Change of Seasons, Glass Prison...and many many more

Just buy I&W really...

yep, basically. and scenes from a memory if you have the cash.

i think the beginning of octavarium (the song) sounds like shine on your crazy diamond by pink floyd.

[QUOTE=Jack Daniels]i think the beginning of octavarium (the song) sounds like shine on your crazy diamond by pink floyd.[/QUOTE]
I think that too...

Bombay vindalloo sounds like "remember tomorrow" by maiden at the start, and a little like "xanadu" by rush...

[QUOTE=r0und3r]yes. I love the record music wise. The lryics are just plain dumb, like most of the lryics on the later records

afa octavarium DT has a new trend of ripping of other artists riffs/styles and putting them on record. I hear megadeth, Muse and others, and its not apprecriated by me at all.[/QUOTE]
So true, I hate that album.

I think the lyrics on SFAM are incredible. They're telling a story, and they do a fine job. I love the way the lyrics are written, they tell the story so well.
And What are you talking about? His recent lyricvs have been amazing. I love the Never Enough lyrics, they're about how Dt's fan's are ungrateful for what he gives to satisfy them. Octavarium's "Someone Like Him" lyrics are about JP wanting to be a better guitar player when he was younger. But are written metaphorically. Their lyrics get better all the time. But my favourite DT lyric has to be:- " We can hope for the future, but there may not be one."
My favourite band ever. Can't wait to see them again :)

That's the point, according to MP.

:lol: I got to get that footage.

Has anyone else seen the bootleg of the instrumedley on the SDOIT tour, where Labrie comes on stage riding a scooter and nearly crashes into Petrucci?

:lol: no but that sounds funny.

[QUOTE=Muellator]On the song octavarium, the purposely did that though, its not ripping them off, its more paying tribute.[/QUOTE]

That doesn't really make sense though. When I hear "Never Enough", it sounds like Muse to me. They took Muse's style of songwriting and wrote a song with it. How is this a tribute to them? If they just put a riff in a song that sounded like Muse, then it would just be a reference and a tribute to Muse, but not if they make an entire song off of another band's style. For example, let's take two other DT songs: "Home" and "The Great Debate." "Home" features a bass line and sitar (on keyboards) that is musically similar to Tool's "46 and 2." However, that's the only thing in the song that sounds like Tool, so it's just a reference to another band, showing that they appreciate their music. Now, listen to "The Great Debate." It bears a striking resemblance to Tool, especially "Third Eye" and "46 and 2." The song almost entirely consists of these Tool-influenced parts (with the exception of the chorus which sounds like "Run to the Hills."). It's not a little reference or tribute to another band, it's stealing their style for a song.

Yeah, upload it. I want to be entertained.

I hate Muse and I think the many "references" to them ruins 8V completely. I really think the album is lame....(except the title track obviously)

I've got this video, it's really nice. If people are looking for more live prog vids google "bootlegmania" and there's a site with more stuff like this (although when I last went on, some of the videos had been removed from the server, most of them still worked though).

Northumberland, pretty halfway between Newcastle and carlisle
