Ive always believed that a good keyboardist will greatly improve any band... however settle for a b-grade one and your music will always sound cheesy....

He In wait for sleep the keyboard is sick, and then when it goes back to that riff at 8:10 in Learning to live, :) The solo at 9:10 in learning to live is awsome aswell.

Haha, your avatar mader me lol....Tis class I must say. :lol:

Doncha just love keyboards!

Any other keyboard players in here?

I attempt Keyboard every now and then.

i used to play classical piano, but that's a whole diff. ball game than rock.

sometimes, i think jordan's playing is focused too much on showing off rather than the overall musical effect. take his keyboard solo on live at budokan. the opening part is just...wankage. so in that sense, KM>JR. however, JR has his moments and overall, JR>KM.

[QUOTE=scenesfromatheater]JR > KM > DS

Ah? Ah?[/QUOTE]
switch JR and KM around and then i'll agree.

Keyboards in rock are awesome. especially with Rush, DT and Black Mages :cool:

[QUOTE=red barchetta] and Black Mages :cool:[/QUOTE]
:cool: indeed.

Cool. Got any mp3s of your band?

You'd better keep on coming into the DT thread.....or else....:smash:

[QUOTE=scenesfromatheater]JR > KM > DS

Ah? Ah?[/QUOTE]

I'd say: JR=KM>DS. I love KM compositions, but JR owns everyone talent wise, save Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Jon Lord, and Ray Maznarek.

So, has anyone heard the interviews with LaBrie, Rudess, and Portney on Deliciousagony.com?

I'm not in a band, but here's a clip of me playing over a backing track that a friend sent me.

Wah? I someone said they were in a DT tribute band, it's probably me seeing things...

the opening part to that solo makes me cringe every time i hear it. for starters, his tone is just aweful. it amazes me how he can get such a terrible sound to come out of such amazing equipment. and then, as you said, the playing can only be described as pure wankage.

the second part of the solo owns though. i love how he gradually brings in more percussion parts as it progresses.

The bit where it sounds like a guitar though sounds cool. :cool:

I usually skip the first part of that solo, it is pretty boring. The second part is awesome, I like the solo on LSFNY better though.

[QUOTE=scenesfromatheater]The bit where it sounds like a guitar though sounds cool. :cool:[/QUOTE]

I was lstenin to sampes on amazon, and heard a song thats just a keyboard solo, and swore it was guitar.

yea jordan says on the budokan commentary that since there's no 2nd guitarrist, sometimes he creates countermelodies or plays guitar-style riffs. so basically he's learned to play like a guitarrist.

i still wish he wouldn't do all that WEIOWEIOKFNOETOBOOOOOGGGGGGGGWEOIWOIOFAGROOOOOOAANNNNNWEIWEIOOO business.

Imagine if all the sudden they decide to add another guitarist.

i'd slap them and ask why?
honestly, they don't need another one. i sincerely hope they don't go through anymore lineup changes as i think they've finally solidly established their sound. although witha band that sounds completely diff. on every CD, that doesn't matter too much huh?

Anybody knows how to obtain a bootleg of the DSOTM cover concert they put on?

i reckon derek sherinians solo on OIALT is ****in mad

[QUOTE=ヴェア　ラッセル]Anybody knows how to obtain a bootleg of the DSOTM cover concert they put on?[/QUOTE]

It is coming out as an official bootleg hopefully soon, so that should be sweet. There were cameras at the show in London, so hopefully there will be a DVD as well, I can't wait for it.

NP: Money

Nice man :thumb:
Even though it was a tad short.

You can get the DSOTM bootleg off dimeadozen, if you're so inclined. For some reason though, the bass riff to Money is played on guitar (well, certainly sounds like it). I have no idea why, though.

They have Petrucci, what would be the need? :p

He can get a sound ten times the size of any other guitarists. Would the DSOTM front cover be available anywhere?

Is anyone else here really excited about the new OSI album? It's gonna be amazing!

It's on both bass and guitar.

I missed them because of car problems as well.


Some a[I]s[/I]swipe was speeding in the parking lot and rammed into my parked car while i was in game stop. I dont park on the end anymore. I needed to sell my ticket to help pay for the damages.

If I ever see that guy, I will kill him. I missed DT, Nevermore, Megadeth and Symphony X. :upset: :angry:

I heard that the a Duran Duran album has a commentary on it as well. Reckon DT could do that as well for their next album?

those kids playing paradigm shift make me sad...wish i had chops like that :upset:

speaking of which, what DT songs can y'all play and on what instrument?
as for me, i can play on guitar: as i am (minus solo), another day, goodnight kiss + solitary shell, home (minus solo), finally free, through her eyes :], fatal tragedy (minus solo), overture 1928, in the name of god (minus solo), octavarium (minus shred solo), sacrificed sons, root of all evil, answer lies within.

if you think about it, it's really not that impressive :p

where did you get the tabs for the new dream theater stuff?
and dont say guitarpro...cuz i'll scream
