John's become my favorite bass player.

I'm learning Metropolis Pt.1 on bass. Hard as s[B]h[/B]it, but it'll be worth it.

I can play it all apart from the bass solo and the section from 7.22-8.00. I'm always trying to learn DT songs, the bass is always great, JM is amazing.

It's even harder on a 4 string. The rest of the song other than the solo isn't too bad though.

I've got my 5 string, so I can learn pretty much any song :D

I never really got into learning to live because i was always playing the intro on piano, and didn't get any further than that, and i haven't really listened to it that much.

It's one of DT's best songs in my opinion. Seeing it live really convinced me that it was.

Triangle, your user title sounds dirty.

And yeah, Learning To Live is amazing.

I know what you mean, I got pretty emotional when I first watched that, and live it was incredible, the atmosphere in the place was so good. And then in comes the intro to LTL...:eek:

Imagine if you would have crushed his hand in your mighty grip :eek:!

No more guitar for John.

The Peruvian Skies solo is one of my favourites ever <3

I know, I was almost in some sort of hypnotic state I was getting so much into that song live. It was screwed up!

I spent the whole of all their gigs just spellbound by them...

I was loving Under a Glass Moon on Wednesday. They did a random bit at 4:00, and just kept on doing random notes for a while, then Rudess went into the circus tune(from the end of Universal Mind). Made me laugh very much so.:lol:

Yeah they did that monday too. And a random Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Darn, they didn't do that for us simple folks.:upset: What song was it in?

I really can't remember but it was like an uber cool version on keyboard.

ooooohhhhhhh.....I really want to hear it now.:upset:

It was a replacement for my favourite Jr keyboard solo... I don't think I've ever been so pissed off seeing them. The solo at around 6:30 minutes. It's the sex.

You didn't say which song... Endless Sacrifice

S[COLOR="Black"]hi[/COLOR]t. I didn't did I... hehe.
Just wondering, scenesfromatheater and nowitzki, do you know each other? You're both from Derby, so I thought you might? Sorry if I'm a bit slow on this.

Endless Sacrifice was great live. It really worked well live and sounded a lot better than the album version.

I suppose, I just really love that keyboard solo, last year they played it and I nearly wet myself.

[QUOTE=FakeReality]The Peruvian Skies solo is one of my favourites ever <3[/QUOTE]

Yeah that is a great solo. I also like The Spirit Carries On and Hollow Years. ( live at Budokan. ) Those are my fav. Petrucci solos :thumb:

I [B]HATE[/B] Hollow Years. That song sucks. Soo bad.

[QUOTE=shamed-angel]I [B]HATE[/B] Hollow Years. That song sucks. Soo bad.[/QUOTE]

It doesn't exactly suck. If you don't like it, fine. But that doesn't mean that it sucks ( Especially not when it's written by a band with so much talend. )

You are probably more a fan of Dream Theater's heavier stuff aren't you ?

I'm a fan of their stuff that wasn't written with the sole intention of being on the radio. I'm not a huge fan of their heavier stuff. Just their more Progressive stuff.

i'm into DT's quieter stuff but i also think Hollow Years suck.
