I cant find that one anywhere. If metal was more popular, it wouldn't be a problem to find all this stuff.

Duman 02-25-2006 04:06 PM

Yeah LSFNY is great, especially as it's got the whole of ACOS on there, that's really special aswell as of course, the whole SFAM album which just rocks

GenuineImitation 02-25-2006 04:54 PM

I couldnt find LSFNY, but I did pick up 5 Years in a Lifetime and Images and Words Live in Tokyo for $17. Which is very cheap for 2 DVD's in the states.

[QUOTE=Duman]Yeah he is good, I am one of the rarer fans who actually like James LaBrie instead of think he ruins Dream Theater so i don't disagree, but it just seems cheesy to me, maybe the lyrics i dont know. Just like that part in Learning To Live where before it, the lyrics are great, then it comes to 'the 90's bring new questions..' and it just seems so cheesy to me.[/QUOTE]
Personally I think LTL has some of the greatest DT lyrics. I think Myung writes the most beautiful lyrics, just a shame he contributes so few.

17 bucks? Damn, I pay more than that for a single DVD...

Is the live ACOS any good? I have the Live In Budokan CD, and don't care for it much...

genuine you owe it to me to get that in-ear monitor question answered ;)
and tell em that some boy in phoenix wants their babies.

portnoy said that myung's writing style is more free-verse and difficult to fit with the music, as opposed to everyone else's metered writing style. but he says myung's free to contribute whenever he wants.

Yeah, it's really good, I like Budokan and LSFNY about the same, but for different reasons.

Yeah, he said Myung has to write lyrics that fit the music.

nowitzki 02-26-2006 09:58 AM

I just realised the intro music when I saw DT live was the main theme from A Clockwork Orange.

Ytse 02-26-2006 10:51 AM

I personally think Myung is a great lyricist. He wrote one of my favorite DT songs (lyric-wise) which was Hollow Years. I love how they all contribute though, it's just awesome. Anyone going to the Cleveland show at the Agora on March 19th? Man.. I can't wait.

Lord Abortion 02-26-2006 11:05 AM

Yeah, I agree about hollow years, magnificent lyrics

temporary 02-26-2006 05:59 PM

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Yeah, I agree about hollow years, magnificent lyrics[/QUOTE]

Meh, I don't much care for the studio version, but the live version from Budokan (which I happen to be listening to now) is fantastic. Petrucci's solo is one of the best parts of the whole album.

Lord Abortion 02-26-2006 06:12 PM

Yeah, the bad thing about that is mine ripped odd and there's some wierd noises at the start. could someone send it to me without that?

wma if possible...

seconded that solo is incredible

ghettoeddo 02-26-2006 07:50 PM

it is o-r-g-a-s-m-i-c.
i tried figuring it out cuz my band is covering it, but idk what the heck he's doing.

lord abortion, your e-mail isn't working...i got a delivery status notification error.

Deth 02-26-2006 08:48 PM

I bought Awake's guitar tab book for $1 today. I don't even play guitar, but it's fun to realize how badly I don't play it by looking at all the solos.

Ytse 02-26-2006 10:01 PM

Yeah I like both versions of Hollow Years, I almost died when I heard the extended solo on the live DVD though, it was just too good to be true.

You lucky mofo.

I'll buy it for £1. That's like $1.75

I shed a tear when LaBrie said, "Mr. John Petrucci!!" for some reason. Just so emotional.

Hollow years is so great.

This is a cool video for those of you who haven't already seen it. It's Yellow Matter Custard, a Beatles cover-band consisting of Mike Portnoy, Paul Gilbert, Matt Bissonette and Neal Morse playing "While my Guitar gently weeps".

That's awesome! Mike is a huge Beatles fan. On a different note, what is everyone's favorite Dream Theater instrumental song?

"Erotomania" is my favorite, with "The Dance of Eternity" in a close second.

nowitzki 02-28-2006 03:13 AM

Those videos were cool. On MPs site you can see a trailer for his Hammer of the Gods Zeppelin DVD, which also looks really cool.

My favourite instrumental is probably Stream of Consciousness.

badtaste 02-28-2006 04:40 AM

Favourite instrumental would be the Ytse Jam and Hells Kitchen. I'm listening to 'Live at the Marquee' right now, and Bombay Vindaloo is nice.

Jev 02-28-2006 10:16 AM

SOC is definately my favourite instrumental. With Strange Deja Vu right behind it for some reason.

ghettoeddo 02-28-2006 10:43 AM

[QUOTE=Happy]SOC is definately my favourite instrumental. With Strange Deja Vu right behind it for some reason.[/QUOTE]

strange deja vu isn't really an instrumental though...

my favorite is hands down overture 1928. second is probably erotomania.

when labrie said "mr. john petrucci!" i felt the same way haha. that part is tear-jerking

bwnstl 02-28-2006 10:54 AM

I think he meant Overture 1928.

My favorite is live Ytse Jam with 5 minute drum solo interlude. :D

Jev 02-28-2006 11:03 AM

[QUOTE=bwnstl]I think he meant Overture 1928.
[/QUOTE]
Yeah, sorry I get the two confused.

JamJar 02-28-2006 11:05 AM

My favourite instrumental varies constantly between SOC, Overtrure 1928 and Erotomania.
