[QUOTE=Happy]No not really. I don't think Labrie sounds anything like Bono.[/QUOTE]
No, he doesn't at all.
I like U2 Quite a bit, but haven't heard a similarity between them and DT, even in that song.

is it sad that i haven't heard iron maiden's original "# of the beast" album?
im gonna check it out, cuz the DT covers are great.

lifting shadows off a dream is indeed underrated. the whole album of "awake" is i think. takes some getting used to, but it's sinking in for me literally one song at a time :]

Very sad...as with all Maiden's stuff, it's amazing.

I'm loving Awake at the moment.

Same here. That and SFAM have been basically the only things in my CD player.

happy holidays people, whatever religion or lack thereof you may be.

NP: octavarium

My dvd still hasn't arrived :smash:

Nah she wasn't ordered yet.
I meant my SFAM DVD silly.

Lifting Shadows of a Dream is U2 inspired, it says on the 5YIALT DVD. As for I Walk beside You, I probably think it is U2 influenced as some of the other songs on the album have blatent influences like Never Enough (Muse).

Huh? Don't you mean underrated?

Sigh, I didn't really get any CDs or DVDs, I really need to spend my money/vouchers and buy Awake!

yea my bad. meant underrated. fixxxxxxxxed

anyone know what the word "octavarium" means? in the song titled that, LaBrie says "Trapped inside this Octavarium" so that made me wonder, did they just make that word up?

My parents got me Images and Words bedclothes off of ebay. Now that is hardcore. How was everyone elses christmas?

I think they just made it up but I know it's got something to do with an octave. I think it's used to signify a repeating cycle, what that is I'm not sure.

C'mon, Awake sucks due to Labrie's try hard metal growling. STick to the high notes!

I got my LATB and FYIAL DVDs and my Once in a livetime CD...that should keep me DT'd up for a while...

Bedclothes? No way!
Any pics?

/whores cool new UT/Avatar combo

Maybe next christmas you can get James LaBrie with a little santa hat instead of Bruce! :lol:

[QUOTE=badtaste]C'mon, Awake sucks due to Labrie's try hard metal growling. STick to the high notes![/QUOTE]

i disagree 100%.

i think his vocals on songs like "lie" are amazing. but that's just my opinion.

and to whoever asked what 8vm meant...

"Looking at the history of the word Octavarium reveals very little. The only historical record of it is a historical book in the Vatican called the Octavarium Romanum. It consists mainly of lessons regarding various Catholic feasts. Notable in its history, however, is many 5's and 8's. The book was first mentioned underthe pontification of Sixtus V (1585-1590) (Sixtus the FIFTH in FIFTEEN EIGHTY FIVE) and then was not mentioned again until it was brought up under Clement VIII (1592-1605) (that's Clement the EIGHTH)."

from dtfaq.com
the #5 is significant because there's 5 members in the band, and 8 total including past members. plus, the whole octave business.

actually, just check out [url]http://dt.spatang.com/octavarium.php[/url]

And of course...it's the 8th studio album...

I like Labrie's singing on Awake. The only thing I don't like about Awake is the "six o clock on a Christmas morning" over and over and the backing singing in the Silent Man.

The backing bits in the silent man are one of my favourite parts on LSFNY!

I am yet to see it, it hasn't fuc[size=2]k[/size]ing arrived yet :angry:
I just mean on the album.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]The backing bits in the silent man are one of my favourite parts on LSFNY![/QUOTE]
The "Without faith, without hope." bit of Fatal Tragedy is mine. :p

Yeah, but they are awful on LSFNY. JP is way out of tune.

Which makes it that so much better!

I think LaBrie is pretty spot on in LSFNY. On A change of seasons and The spirit carries on especially.

He has a massive sack attack during Finally Free.
"Living my own life by learning thr[I]ough[/I] you." :lol:
One of the best singers ever for range and high vocals. If not the best.

god i need to get LSFNY...that's the one w/ a change of seasons and the full SFAM right? and...the CD, not the DVD?
