Mike Portnoy's lyrics leave a lot to be desired. He wrote TGP. His best lyrics would be A Change of Seasons but overall, Petrucci is a better lyricist.

Chu: yeah, I heard about it but I've never seen or heard the actual song

I think they were planning a Gigantour dvd, but maybe that was cancelled in favour of Aresenal Of Megadeth?

Fix'd.

Learning To Live ftw;

[QUOTE=Chu]Don't you remember?

When Gigantour was in, wherever Dimebag's from (Sorry, I don't think too much of him, I don't know where he's from), Dream Theater covered Cemetary Gates, and Mustaine played the solo... Someone said it would be released on DVD, but I'm still waiting.[/QUOTE]
wow, yeah, i would truly love to hear that.

maybe. or just simply delayed/postponed.

Myung doesn't write enough lyrics.


I sure hope there is a Gigantour DVD. Not doing it because of Arsenal would suck.

I got Arsenal yesaterday. Not watched it yet though...

I think Megadeth needs to release a DVD of something pre 97

[QUOTE=Chu]Fix'd.

Yup Myung is easily the best lyric writer in DT, Learning to Live has the best lyrics (in a DT song)

And the Gigantour DVD is meant to come out arond the start of Gigantour 2

84mins and 3 disks? Shouldn't it be just one?

No anthrax clips? Im kind of disapointed with that... I'll still get it anyway.

84 mins? Is that it from a huge concert like that?

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]84 mins? Is that it from a huge concert like that?[/QUOTE]


It does seem a bit short.

I wish there were a few more Megadeth, DT, Symphony X and Nevermore songs.

Does anyone know when Gigantour 2's line-up is going to be announced?

No Anthrax? hmmmm...

The Megadeth setlist isnt what I expected.

[QUOTE]84mins and 3 disks? Shouldn't it be just one?[/QUOTE]
3 disks is probably so the can separate the concert footage, back stage stuff and documentarys or something.

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]Yeah it has some great ones on it, like Lie :dribbles:[/QUOTE]
SFAM has some great riffs too...Home and Beyond this life especially.

NP-Tornado of souls.

I never used to appreciate the TOS solo, until now.
It's a masterpiece.

[QUOTE=dr._feelgood]Does anyone know when Gigantour 2's line-up is going to be announced?[/QUOTE]

Should be announced soon as dave is "finalising" the bands in the tour

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]I never used to appreciate the TOS solo, until now.

Definatley a masterpiece. Especially the part at 3:50. It's such a well crafted solo that I often overlooked when I first heard it. It's probably my favorite solo of Marty's or even of Megadeth.

I think Marty has better solo's but it's definetly one of Megadeth's finer solo's

I loved it the first time I heard it. It is so well-written it is just inspiring.

That solo still gives me goosebumps, 5 years after hearing it for the first time. As does the rest of the song following it.

The solo on Hangar 18 at 3:15 is my absolute favorite Megadeth solo.

Marty=God

But I like the 2:48 solo in Hangar 18 better

It's kinda difficult for me to play too. I can't stretch from the 10th to 17th fret :(

Lucretia and Tornado Of Souls own any other Megadeth solos.

Is it me or is the whole of RIP extremely difficult to play?

Yeah, it isn't exaclty easy.

I think the only song off it I can play fully is Take No Prisoners.

I really wish marty wouldnt have quit. he was a genious. You should check out some of his solo ****, and his instructional videos. Hes a goddamn...god

My favorite solo would have to be the second one in Set the World Afire

His solo stuff and work with Becker is amazing.
Much better than his Megadeth stuff.

Marty didn't play on Set The World Afire.

Yeah, the Lucretia solo is good as well. I'm not sure why so many people dislike that song, I quite like it.

Whoops i meant that as a new paragraph, wasnt jeff young on for SFSGSW, or was it poland? I think poland left after peace sells...

T'was Young.

Take no prisoners is possibly my least favourite track on there..apart from Poison was the cure.

Poland did leave after peace sells...

Actually yeah that one is awesome as well.
