What's wrong with a mapex? My brother has a DW custom and a Mapex Orion and he plays the Mapex more.

The only drum kit I have heard of was Pearl. Im a drumming noob... Im guessing Mapexs is pretty good.

I like Lie, but The Mirror is better. I think the Mirror has more feeling to it.

Do they ever play A Change of Seasons in concert? ( sorry off topic)

[QUOTE=NicetoKnowyou]Do they ever play A Change of Seasons in concert? ( sorry off topic)[/QUOTE]


They did on their Once in a Livetime cd. They wouldn't play it all together. They woud open with the Crimson Sunrise, play a few songs, then the next part, then a few more songs. This would continue until they played The Crimson Sunset.

Yeah, they play the whole thing as an encore on Live Scenes From New York. Its an increadible performance.

Np: Scarred

[QUOTE=Quickdrop]I just found the video for Lie on video.google, never knew they made one. It looks like MP is using a Mapex kit in it :([/QUOTE]
You mean the actual video they made or a live video?
The quality of the video they made on Google video is terrible.

I been listening to Octavarium a lot thats a great album. I have a handful of songs such as the Silent Man and The Glass Prison which i love to bits. Any recommendations for what albums to start with this band?

If you like The Silent Man, check out Awake. It has a Mind Within Itself on it which is three songs that do together and The Silent Man is the third one. Also it has some great songs on it. If you like DT's more heavier stuff check out Train of Thought and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, their most heaviest albums. Of course get Images and Words which is their best CD and Live at The Budokan, which I am told is their best Live DVD, I haven't gotten it yet.

Live At Budokon is also a cd. You should get it, the production is amazing.

Oh right, never knew that. I'd get it but unfortunately I need to raise £80 a month for a trip to Russia and nowhere will employ me until the end of June and the end of my Exams.

Thanks people. I like their mellow stuff like The Spirit Carries On as much as the heavier fare like The Glass Prison, they are a truly amazing band from what i have heard. Took a bit of warming up to though.

Yeah, I have to say when I first heard them I was heavily into 'Tallica and I found them boring but after a while I began to love them.

Of the cds we listed, you really cant wrong. You'll love them all.

[QUOTE=Mr.Metalton]I like Lie, but The Mirror is better. I think the Mirror has more feeling to it.[/QUOTE]Mirror is great, but personally it got really old quick. It doesnt have the variety of the other DT songs, it basically sounds the same the whole way through.

And btw, i dont dislike Mapex. I just prefere Tama (since i own one).:thumb:

exactly what happened to me.

tallica--> dream theater.

im glad i made the switch.

waht is this thread doing on the 2nd page? im disappointed guys ;)

I'm so glad I didn't stay a Metallica fanboy. I still know loads about the band but I realised they're not the best band about by far and that DT are an example of a better band.

off topic...


right at the end of Scenes from a Memory...when u hear the TV on...it is Nicholas right?

sorry just needed to know.

and also...is it just me, or in the 8th minutes of home, is there not some chick moaning in the background?

can someone explain?

The end with the TV in the background is Nicholas yes.
The chick moaning in Home is Victoria because she is having an affair with that guy's (i can't remember the name it's either The Miracle or The Sleeper) brother.

it's senator edward bynes. baynes? whatever.

my girlfriend was like "wtf ed. what kinda stuff do you listen to?"

I blanked out. I could only remember Nicholas.

When she asked that, you should have come up with a witty insult to mainstream (not all mainstream music, just the bad stuff) music.

A girl that I like and may ask out likes Eminem and Fall Out Boy. Thats the only downside though. She seems to like Guns N Roses, so there may be some hope after all. Maybe I can change her mind and make ther the total package.

There's nothing wrong with liking Eminem--he's one of the most talented rappers in the game right now. Fall Out Boy on the other hand.....

I dont like him.that much. I cant stand his voice. I can listen to a few songs of his, but they are the darker or more meaningful songs. She like My Name Is and the Real Slim Shady.

i like lose yourself. dundundundundundundundun you betta lose yourself in the music you own it etc.

problem is, she only likes the cheesy ballads by dream theater like hollow years. and she thinks his voice on I&W is annoying and too high. you know how it is...they hear the opening acoustic guitar/piano intro "YAY THIS SONG IS PRETTY I LOVE IT!"
of course, like in the case of misunderstood... :thumb:
i prefer singers like james, dickinson much more than your SoCo, fall out boy, mae girly singers. they can't even vibrate T_T

There is nothing wrong with reading the Bible. Now I don't belive in organized religion but even I have read the bible for fun. I many not belive in some of the stoires or ideas in it but it still gives you a lot to think about.
