WDADU is the album everyone neglects :(

I only liked a few songs from WDADU. Status Seeker, Only A Matter Of Time and YTSE Jam

Status seeker's an odd choice.
It's probably my least favourite on that album along with Light Fuse and Get Away.

Only a Matter of Time is amazing though.

I just found this today. It's funny, cheesy, and sounds good.

Everyone watch this it's so worth it.

My favourites on WDADU are Afterlife, a fortune in lies, only a matter of time and the killing hand. That's much better live with James though.

:eek:
Wow...

Jp's dancing and both times when Charlie jumped in front of the camera made me :lol:

And Jp's solo was awesome, not as good as the record but the wammy stuff sounded great.

I love how the singer jumped in.

You can tell straight off that he didn't fit the band though.

Makes me so glad they picked up James...

Yup Charlie was a pretty bad singer... But he sounds quite good on Metropolis on WDADReUnite

Heres the vid

he's really a better singer than many give him credit for.

I don't think Charlie's a bad singer.
I just think he's not right fro Dream Theater.

That's grown to be one of my favourites.

petrucci first solo rules. the one with the fingerpicking.

On the Metropolis vid?
Yeah, I'd like to see more solos like that.

hes a lot more versitile than people think

[QUOTE=RideTheSpiral]hes a lot more versitile than people think[/QUOTE]


Quoted for truth.


Everyone says Petrucci just shreds and plays without emotion. The solo in Another Day isnt emotionless shred and that isnt the only song.

He's got some fantastic interesting solos like Goodnight Kiss, A Change of Seasons, or Scarred.

I find all his solos interesting, even the solos on train of thought. People consider it mindless wankery, but it sounds great. I wish my mindless wankery can sound that good.

I think Charlie sounds fkn good on that.

I might have to look into When Day and Dream Unite?

Edit: And the non-Ruddess keyboardist > Ruddess...

I really likw how he plays on an angle, so metal \m/

derek sherinainanianinainianiagigan?

i still say that people say he's a mindless wanker because they're just jealous and are afraid to admit that he's amazing. not many people in the world know how to milk the guitar for all it's worth like he does.

i just got tool's aenema because i was curious to see this danny carey guy who's sposed to blow MP outta the water.
i haven't found anything amazing yet...am i looking in the wrong place?

He is a decent drummer, but I dont think hes good enough to blow portnoy out of the water. Did a tool fanboy tell you this?

no. it just seems to be the general consensus that carey > portnoy on these forums?

i really dont hear anything overly striking, although he's solid and i like it.
dream theater ftw in every aspect :]

This is news to me.

are you sure?
it's really the general impression i get everywhere...

i still stoically (sp) defend portnoy as the better rhythm section

EDIT: 1000 posts wute~ thanks genuine for pointing it out i didnt even notice

I never heard of this before. Then again I dont pay much attention to posts relating to drums.


HAPPY 1,000 Posts

im learning about to crash ( reprise) and losing time/grand finale right now

[QUOTE=ghettoeddo]im learning about to crash ( reprise) and losing time/grand finale right now[/QUOTE]


Sounds cool. Im learnind Another Day and Instrumedly.

Derek Shernian is quite a good keyboardist but

Kevin Moore>Jordan Rudess>Derek Sherinian

Derek Sherinian's solo work is much better than his work with DT IMO

Danny Carey is amazing, and although I love MP I would rate Carey higher.
I'm not a drummer myself, but Carey is really creative, and his use of polyrhythms is awesome. Lateralus and Ænema (the songs) are worth checking out.

I dislike tool and I think he's very overrated.

But then again, someone who's a Tool fanboy could post something about MP like this is in the Tool thread :p

i cant split them... the are both very good in different aspects... made voting in the current poll very difficult...

carey is an awesome drummer but he looks retarded when he drums

So portnoy triumphs?

I have ten assorted Tool songs...I can't see what all the fuss about Carey is.

Look at the poll.
Carey's already far off in the lead :angry:

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]I have ten assorted Tool songs...I can't see what all the fuss about Carey is.[/QUOTE]

What songs have you heard? :confused:

/hasn't posted here in ages

Welllll i voted for portnoy

SUPPORT PORTNOY!!!!

i have several tool CD's now too, but nothing really strikes me as OMGHE'SSOGOOD but i've had that a bit w/ portnoy.
not that i know much abt drumming being a guitarrist, but portnoy really is much more technically capable and has a greater sense of time signatures i think.
