[QUOTE=Grey Incision]hmm, i needed advice, i like dream theater, but i am not a die hard fan, and i need to know their hardest keyboard solo. A friend of mine can do anything that i've given him by dream theater, but i need the Hardest keyboard solo, try and screw him up.[/QUOTE]
Try some LTE, Acid Rain, Paradigm Shift, Universal mind, WHen the Water breaks, almost all LTE songs have kickass keys solos.

It's alright. I wouldn't have Take the Time and Surrounded on it though. Maybe a track from 6DOIT Disc 1.

hey guys....

I have heard of Dream Theater, but for some reason never got the chance to hear any of their songs. I recently read rumors and many sites that Dream Theater along with King Diamond will be the mystery bands to tour with Megadeth this summer. And since I love King Diamond's music, DT caught my attention. So, can anyone suggest a good bunch of songs for me to get? thanks guys

Holy sh.it. People, get the official bootleg of "Dream Theater - The Number of the Beast"...the acoustic guitar intro to Children of the D[b]a[/b]mned is played on keyboard, and LaBrie almost mimmicks Bruce's scream at the beginning of the title track. :D

I personally wouldn't but Another Day or Surrounded on that, I don't really like them...

I'd replace them both by The Glass Prison, which is IMO, one of, if not their best, song.

I've never got the fuss about TGP. I don't think it flows that well, I think the 'Run, fast, from the wreckage...' section is WAY too drawn out and feel the solo section is actually pretty boring. And the 1-0-0-0 breakdown riff was utilised WAY better in This Dying Soul. Meh, to each their own I guess.

That's my favorite section of the song. I think the end is drawn out a bit too long personally.

Plus the main riff/verse section/intro are just amazing.

I agree...I love the breakdown riff and the beginning. For me, the first 8 minutes are just...amazing. the riff with with the wah and the way MP comes in...its amazing. I also like JLB and MP singing "Enter the Door..." part and then the transition riff after the breakdown part.

I dont know...its my favorite DT song now...(bumped Learning to Live off its top spot, which is hard to do)

I could listen to glass prison all day and not get bored.....maybe

I love the glass prison and this dying soul. I cant wait to hear the next part of the series.

Anyone here know when the new CDs coming out?

Like June 7th or 11th I think.

[QUOTE=the2stranger]the 2nd cd, of 6 degrees off inner turbulence is a concept album, telling a story.
and the story is diveded in 6 'chapters' or 6 individual songs if you like it :p
but the cd is to bee seen as one song :thumb:[/QUOTE]
its not a concept album, its just about mental illness and is played as one song, but for the cd its just broken up. They play the full 42 mins live.

[b]John:[/b] Fight!
[b]James[/b] Past, walking through the ash, a distant oasis before me

[b]Mike:[/b] Crawling!
[b]James:[/b] Desparate, crawling on my knees, begging God to please stop the insanity
[b]John:[/b] Help me
[b]James:[/b] I'm trying to believe, stop wallowing in my self pity...We've been waiting for you my friend, etc...

[b]James + Mike[/b] Helllp me....Save mee....

[b]Mike:[/b] Enter the door!
[b]James:[/b] Desparate!
[b]John:[/b] Fighting no more!
[b]James:[/b] Help me restore!
[b]Mike:[/b] To my sanity!
[b]James:[/b] At this temple of hope!
[b]Mike:[/b] I need to learn!
[b]James:[/b] Teach me how
[b]John:[/b] Sorrow to burn
[b]James:[/b] Help me return
[b]Mike:[/b] To humanity
[b]James:[/b] I've been fearless and thorough on the way to this temple of hope!

[b]James:[/b] Believe!
[b]Mike:[/b] Transcend the pain
[b]James:[/b] Living the lie
[b]John:[/b] Humility
[b]James:[/b] Open my eyes!
[b]Mike:[/b] To this new oddessy
[b]James:[/b] Of rigorous honesty
[b]Mike:[/b] Serenity
[b]James:[/b] That I never knew
[b]John:[/b] Soundness of mind
[b]James:[/b] Help me to find
[b]Mike:[/b] The courage to change...all the things that I can

I didn't say that, some other dude said that. I thought it was just Mike doing the alt. vocals. Its so bad ***...especially how fast JLB says "I've been fearless and thorough on the way to this temple of hope" part and then it breaks into that riff, which is so bad ***!!! God I love the song!

Random statement, but does anyone else thing MP's drumming on "Under a Glass Moon" is orgasmic? I love the double bass that continues throughout the song

[quote] DAVE MUSTAINE'S 'GIGANTOUR' SET TO LAUNCH IN LATE JULY;
DREAM THEATER, FEAR FACTORY, DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN AND NEVERMORE
CONFIRMED TO JOIN MEGADETH ON THE MAINSTAGE
FOR SIX-WEEK NORTH AMERICAN TREK

It's called GIGANTOUR, and it's the brainchild of MEGADETH frontman/guitarist DAVE MUSTAINE.

Set to launch in late July, GIGANTOUR is a six-week festival trek co-headlined by MEGADETH and DREAM THEATER, who'll be accompanied by other mainstage acts Fear Factory, Dillinger Escape Plan and Nevermore. Artists for the second stage will be announced in the coming weeks.

GIGANTOUR follows MEGADETH’s sold-out 2004 “Blackmail The Universe” Tour in support of 2004’s THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED--MEGADETH’s tenth studio album--which debuted on the charts at #18 and was critically hailed as a brilliant return to form. Bandmates Glen Drover (guitar), James MacDonough (bass) and Shawn Drover (drums) will once again join MUSTAINE on the road.

GIGANTOUR--whose moniker was inspired by the classic 1960’s cartoon “Gigantor”--will criss-cross North America, with stops in amphitheatres and arenas in cities including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Denver and Minneapolis, among others. The tour is implementing the “fan friendly” ticket price of approximately $35 each. MUSTAINE notes: “I think people may want an affordable alternative to the choices out there--along the lines of a pure music festival--like Monsters of Rock or Clash of the Titans.”

MUSTAINE handpicked the bands for GIGANTOUR, with a focus on musicianship. “There are few very successful tours out each summer and in order to be significant, I knew the first Gigantour had to make an impact with top bands like DREAM THEATER, Fear Factory, Dillinger Escape Plan and Nevermore.” MUSTAINE wanted to “put together a festival that consisted of positive bands that play heavy music in a high energy environment.”

MUSTAINE comments on the other bands he’s chosen for the GIGANTOUR mainstage. “I think that the variety of playing styles and the credibility of the different players is really exciting. I’m looking forward to spending time with DREAM THEATER--including my friend Mike Portnoy--while on the road. I think DREAM THEATER is unbelievably talented. I can’t wait to see what their set list is going to be for this festival.”

Mike Portnoy from DREAM THEATER comments on the band’s perspective on the tour. “I think we probably bring some diversity to the bill, because we’re kind of like chameleons--we can fit into a lot of different situations. We’ve done shows in the past with Iron Maiden, Slayer and Pantera, and then we’ve also done shows with Elton John, Yes and Deep Purple. I think our fan base is very diverse like that too.” Portnoy sees GIGANTOUR as a “kind of a meeting of musicians and metal-heads.” He adds: “I’ve been listening to MEGADETH since day one and always admired them and Dave as an artist--he’s constantly stuck to his guns and stuck by the music he believes in. MEGADETH are one of the pioneers of the genre.” GIGANTOUR marks the first U.S. leg of DREAM THEATER dates in support of their forthcoming release OCTAVARIUM, due out June 7 on Atlantic Records.

MUSTAINE first toured with Fear Factory in 1994. “I think Fear Factory and Dillinger Escape Plan are really going to add something different to the tour and bring some new people in.” He continues, “The frontman of Nevermore [Warrell Dane] used to be in a band called Sanctuary and I produced their first record.”

MUSTAINE is excited to hit the road and has a positive outlook for GIGANTOUR. “I look forward to watching this develop over the years and seeing how we can turn this into something that’s going to stand the test of time. And if this works, and it really works, maybe we’ll take it elsewhere.”

Stay tuned for tour dates, venues and information about the second stage bands to be announced soon.

This would be an absolute dream for me to go to. However, noen of my friends are metalheads so even if the tour stops near here, I doubt I'll go. :(

ow ok, well, in the 80/90's they we're ok, but still lookes gay.
now is surely is a big no no, iuw, I respect MP, but not that thing he's wearing, and he has gained some weight compared to the old days, that doesn't make it look any nicer either.

for very wrong DT clothing, watch the 'another day'video.

Mike wears the leotard rhingy there, and has his huge 'fro hairdo.

and the rest looks pretty dumb too, esp. LaBrie.
meh, but it was 'fashion' those days.

Holy crap at the Gigantour :eek:

The Gigantour will pwn. I'm pumped for DT and Megadeth of course, Nevermore is great too. I've never listened to DEP, but I hear they're great. No Anthrax or Testament, but hey, its still an awesome tour.

anyone know where i can get the keyboard tablature for wait for sleep? i've looked for ages but haven't found it :upset:
