[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Ouch...

You missed a hell of a show. Dream Theater was superb, Symphony X put on the greatest show I've ever seen from a band (and they only got 30 minutes!), Megadeth was awesome as well, and the rest of the bands I actually didn't hate that much.

We missed Nevermore though. :evil: :evil: :evil:[/QUOTE]
Awesome, I really want to see SX live. Are Nevermore good?

[QUOTE=Triangle]Awesome, I really want to see SX live. Are Nevermore good?[/QUOTE]

Once again, haven't seen them live. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Recorded, though, they are one of the most original and awesome bands I've ever heard...it's like a blend of death metal riffing and drums and powermetal vocals, with a little prog mixed in now and then.

There's some mp3s of theirs on [URL]http://www.centurymedia.com[/URL]. The american section. Once you get into it, click on audio.

does anyone know who early i should turn up to a standing gig? i'm going to the DT gig next wednesday, but i've only ever been to seating gigs before, and i just wanted to know how early i should get to the venue to get anywhere near the front.

Well that gig may be different than usual as there's no support band. Usually unless you want to get right to the front (against the barriers) you're fine getting there for when the doors open. But I'm guessing for DT everyone will get there on time, so about 30 mins early to que up maybe? I take it you're on about the Wolverhampton gig right?

I'd say as early as possible...

For Symphony X, we went up straight as soon as the act before them was done, and we still got pushed back to like the second row.

I'd say an hour, maybe, and you should be safe.

Actually thinking about it, I'm probably not the right person to answer that at all, being 6-4 I always get a great view of the stage wherever I stand.

My buds give me shit for liking TOT. I think it's a very good album, I have all their albums.

At least you saw the other bands:upset: .

AclotM1, I like ToT also, so dont feel bad. You are not alone. I think its a really good cd. I still like Awake more though.

I love ToT

6DoIT>SFaM>ToT>I&W>FII>ACoS>Awake>WDaDU

IMHO, of course.

Awake blows them all away... followed by ToT, then 6DoIT, ACoS > I&W.. haven't heard the rest yet..

Hmm, go on then, lets do this again:

I&W>SFAM>TOT>Awake>8VM>6DOIT>ACOS>FII>WDADU

This list does change slightly every time I work it out. And even though they are ranked like that I do enjoy aspects of every album (even FII has started to grow on me now), except for WDADU, which despite having some great songs, I don't really enjoy listening to becuase of Charlie's vocals, and poor recording quality. The live versions of the songs from the album are mostly excellent though.

I&W>ToT>SFAM>8VM>6DOT>Awake>ACOS>FII.WDADU

the WDADU songs on Live at the marquee are so much better than the studio ones...

I&W > Awake > 6DoiT > ACoS > WDADU > ToT > SFAM > FII > 8VM

Heh, my families from Derbyshire. Just letting you know.

My list (for what I have) goes:

SFAM>I&W>ToT>Awake>8V>ACOS

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]Heh, my families from Derbyshire. Just letting you know.[/QUOTE]

Nice :thumb:

I don't like Derby all that much though.

[QUOTE=MAthiAS]I&W > Awake > 6DoiT > ACoS > WDADU > ToT > SFAM > FII > 8VM[/QUOTE]

If you go on the Mike Portnoy forums there's a list of every setlist on there.

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]I don't like Derby all that much though.[/QUOTE]

I'm sure it's nicer than the bowels of hell.

Yeah, it sucks compared to the rest.

6DOIT>Awake>SFAM :cool:

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]Awake>ToT>I&W>6DOIT>SFAM>8VM>ACoS>FII>WDADU[/QUOTE]


Mine would be

I&W>SFAM>ToT>6DOIT>ACoS>Awake>Octavarium>FII>WDADU

Mine is...

ToT>6DOIT>SFAM>Awake>ACoS>8VM>I&W

Don't have FII, and haven't listened to WDADU yet.

If you judge by his posts, he really hates all of Dream Theater with a passion. I don't even know why he comes in this thread at all.
