I've actually never bothered to learn Ytse, I should...

mysongbook.com has some pretty accurate tabs if you want to learn.

Erotomania is pretty fun too. as is most of Stream of Consciesness

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]Whats everyones favorite DT riff/solo/song to play on the guitar? My favorite riff is either the Ytse Jam intro or Metropolis Part 1.[/QUOTE]
Could be The Glass Prison (The intro wah riff is just secks, and to be able to play it properly, after a long time trying :cool: ), can't do much more of the song though.

I can play the intro as well, but it doesnt sound right because I dont own a Wah pedal. As for the rest of the song, I never attempted to learn it.


NP: DT - Home

[QUOTE=bwnstl]My main concern is that you came in here bashing DT because all their albums sound the same, when that is obviously not the case. People who first get into DT usually have one (maybe two) favorite album and it takes them a little while to fully get into the other albums, simply because they all sound fairly different from each other.
Oh, and the other problem is you saying they have bad vocals, when LaBrie is one of the best singers in rock.[/QUOTE]

Well, "bashing" is unavoidable when taste is subjective. :) I own "Awake", which has some good riffs in it, and I`ve borrowed "Images and Words", "Scenes from a memory", I copied "Six Degrees.." (also some cool moments), borrowed "Train..." and "Octavarium", and I`ve seen "Budokan"- and "Scenes..."-DVD, and I still didn`t find anything more I liked. At least I gave them a serious try, as opposed to alot of people slagging of black/speed/death-metal cause all they hear is "noise". As for listening to prog, I`d still rather go for Spiral Arcitect or Pagans Mind.

And I still think LaBrie sounds too nice and Iron Maiden-sk (not my cup of tea), and too constrained almost all the time. ....on the other hand, I don`t know what other singer who could be in Dream Theater. It couldn`t be a showman, thats for sure, it would ruin the balance.

I like playing the UAGM solo, or what I can play of it at least. Loads of trademark Petrucci licks and all the whammy-bar stuff just makes it fun to play, aswell as being one of my favourite solos of his.

Does anyone have any of their Bootleg shows?
Maybe the cover album ones. Like Number of the Beast of Dark Side of The Moon

Anyone?

Stream of Conciousness on Budokan is mindblowing.

That's cool, I appreciate that you have actually listened to them and decided you don't like them rather than being an ignoramus about it. I just wanted to point that their albums are vastly different and that (whether you like his vocal style or not), Labrie is very talented.

Would it be too much to ask for you to send me a song or two by Spiral Architect or Pagan's Mind? I've been wanting to check them out but can't find any of their stuff anywhere.

I can send you some Spiral Architect tomorrow.

I have Dream Theater's Master of Puppets performance (Like one mp3.. 58mb..), but also they're cover of Orion (Plus a little thing they do after the song), which is about 10.8mb.

F'in A, thank you man.

fair enough. respek for you my friend. respek.
personally, i don't like pagan's mind at all. but there we go, eh?

my favorite DT lick to play at the moment is either the ending solo in 8vm, "never enough" or the home licks :] it's also MP's daughter's (melody) favorite song. he said so on the commmentary for metropolis 2000 DVD

Yup :D She likes the nanny nanny poo poo melody.:thumb:

i really can't seem to enjoy that song that much :\
disappear taht comes right after it is much more impressive to me.

SOC is second to Disappear as my favourite on LATB.
My friend saw the SOC solo and was like :eek:

haha yea it's crazy fast. a little sloppy live though. but...well they aren't machines.

i still prefer solos that seem to be more thought-out than shred at the speed of light.
wont be back for awhile, prom comin up :] peace

I like it live. I think it sounds better.

Did you get some Spiral A.? Unfortunatley, I don`t possess my Pagans Mind-cd`s at the moment, they`re cardboardboxes being transported to my current appartement, but I still have Spiral A. on my computer, so I can send you a song or two.

Basically, I HAD to check DT out `cause of my drummer`s constant raving about them, but we belong in different genres. He`s more Iron Maiden, Trivium, Stratovarius...and I`m more into Cannibal Corpse, Satyricon, Marduk, Bolt Thrower etc., which he can`t stand. But I appreciate the drum-techniques he aquires by listening to Portnoy. Oh, and we came to an agreement that we can meet over Opeth. Be both like them. :chug:

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]What radio stations this?
It sounds awesome.[/QUOTE]

Sorry for the extremely late reply but better than no reply at all (I don't visit this place often, as you can tell from my post count).

Yeh, I heard it on triple RRR 102.7 (this is Australian radio, of course, but maybe you can hear it on the internet). Probably a one off though.

And yeah, very, very, very odd to hear it on radio.

I just bought ToT.

After watching Budokan I knew I had to do it.
My DT collection is growing...If got Awake, ToT, Octavarium and 2 dvd's...

But I have all the albums mp3's, but I'm buying all the originals.

[QUOTE=temporary]Yeah, DT's one of those bands that a lot bigger in Europe/Asia than in the States. And Genesis only sold out cause Gabriel left the band in Collins' control...[/QUOTE]
Exactly, Peter Gabriel Genesis is great, Collins era is awful.
