Kickass album I know. That was actually my first Dream Theater album I got. I had heard "Home" from a cousin of mine who is still in my home province (I went there for the summer almost three years ago) and I just got addicted right away. Congradulations on the purchase just the same.

RiceMonster 04-06-2005 08:01 PM

Scenes From a Memory was the first Dream Theater album I got too, well I only have that and Images and Words unfortunatly. I'm still hooked on it. It's one of my favorite albums of all time.

Otherside 04-06-2005 08:01 PM

Ugh. Megadave does nothing for me.

I'd rather see a Dream Theater/Opeth tour, or almost any other band.

[QUOTE=sack-man]is guitar pro a program? and if so, where do you get it from?[/QUOTE]
Yes, it's a program. I downloaded it off p2ps a while back.

[QUOTE=Suicide_Punishment]Can some one please tell me some good song to listen to ...i havent heard them before[/QUOTE]

hmm... a good Dream Theater song.
let me think...
TRY ALL OF THEM!!!

personal favourites=

The Glass Prison
Endless Sacrifice
Stream Of Conciousness
Change of Seasons
Take The Time
This Dying Soul
As I Am

if you like heavier stuff then Train of Thought is the way to go
also The Glass Prison

the other albums are quite a bit lighter but are great in technical ability and stuff.

little_devil2021 04-07-2005 07:59 AM

ok, i haven't been a DT fan all that long, and i was wondering, what genre would you classify them as? i heard someone say they're progressive rock, but i really don't know.

*stupid question*

Otherside 04-07-2005 08:02 AM

Propressive Metal/Rock

Triangle 04-08-2005 06:21 AM

Get Scenes from a Memory or Six Degrees. They're pure quality.

If you liked 6:00, get the album it's on, "Awake".

Triangle 04-08-2005 11:50 AM

Awake... that's an amazing album, apart from 6:00 which I personally don't like that much. (Scarred, The Mirror, Lie :thumb: )

Danger Bird 04-08-2005 08:54 PM

Recommend me 1 Dream Theater song to listen to, to get me started on them. Like if I asked you for a Black Sabbath song, you'd say Iron Man.

Shattered_Future 04-08-2005 09:12 PM

^ The Glass Prison.

Its basically what DT is all about.

Werny 04-09-2005 12:01 AM

DT are a band that besides about 7 songs bore me to absolute death. They're awesome though, I just can't find myself listening that much. Portnoy is hardcore.

The Glass Prison is one of the greatest songs ever composed. I love the parts where it's awesome riffing and someone (I think it's Mike) going "hey, hey, hey".

M7S 04-09-2005 02:21 AM

I cant stand Train Of Thought , really cool riffs n stuff but useless solo crap ( imo ) I prefer Scenes and Images way more over Train , way better solo style imo

[QUOTE=ThijsG]I cant stand Train Of Thought , really cool riffs n stuff but useless solo crap ( imo ) I prefer Scenes and Images way more over Train , way better solo style imo[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I agree partly. The riffs are just great, but the solos suck. There just pointless shred.

bassist-bmxer 04-09-2005 06:26 AM

I actually like the solo's in Train of Thought, specially the guitar solo in 'Stream of Consciousness'

red barchetta 04-09-2005 06:36 AM

[QUOTE=bassist-bmxer]I actually like the solo's in Train of Thought, specially the guitar solo in 'Stream of Consciousness'[/QUOTE]
yeah, the last solo in that is great. (the one from 9.28 - 10.19)

red barchetta 04-09-2005 06:40 AM

i love dt... they're going to do a UK tour during october/november. not during exams!!!

bassist-bmxer 04-09-2005 06:57 AM

no way! really?? where?

lol sorry for the questions.

Triangle 04-09-2005 07:00 AM

Sorry, they are!?! It doesnt mention on their tour dates.

bassist-bmxer 04-09-2005 07:15 AM

i just lookked it up on their website [url]http://www.dreamtheater.net/archive_tourdates.php?y=2002[/url] I'm gonna try and see them at the astoria.

stoned_rat 04-09-2005 07:41 AM

glass prison=(in my opinion) best song ever recorded.....
and 2nd would have to be the drapery falls by opeth...funny how other than that song i dont really like any other opeth...

bassist-bmxer 04-09-2005 07:56 AM

Yeah The glass prison is just amazing, I dont know how they do it! I have a live video of it and they play it perfectly! Listen to the bass line in the guitar and keyboard solo's bit, John Myung has so much stamina! I get tired even playing the first few seconds of that bit.

3rdplanet 04-09-2005 08:18 AM

[QUOTE=red barchetta]i love dt... they're going to do a UK tour during october/november. not during exams!!![/QUOTE]

OH YEAH!

So goin'.

Sebrellium 04-09-2005 08:28 AM

Images and Words was also my last, but I was (and still am) impressed by their range of talents, being able to play (and wanting to) MOP, NOTB etc. "Home" is my favourite song though.

vashts80 04-09-2005 09:29 AM

I need to get the Budokan DVD. That is all.

The JoZ 04-09-2005 09:34 AM

[QUOTE=ThijsG]I cant stand Train Of Thought , really cool riffs n stuff but useless solo crap ( imo ) I prefer Scenes and Images way more over Train , way better solo style imo[/QUOTE]

In some respect I can understand that...

However, I personally think the riffage out of ToT more than makes up for Petrucci's constant shredding.

Besides, it's not like every solo on ToT is really that pointless, I mean...

The As I Am solo is really pretty cool sounding. The opening solo in This Dying Soul is as well...although the second solo isn't quite as good IMO...

The back and forth between Jordan and John in Endless Sacrifice is neat too, and the aforementioned SoC solo is really nice too. John doesn't solo in Honor Thy Father, which may come as a surprise to many...so if you don't like the solos there, blame Jordan not John :p

I never used to like the In The Name of God solo, because I thought it was pointless shred...and to some extent it still is, but it has grown on me a bit. If you get the Budokan DVD, they do an extended version of this song, with John doing a very melodic solo, closer to the style I think you'd like...

Yeah, the outro solo is pretty good I admit.

I also love the Hollow Years solo on that dvd...

M7S 04-09-2005 12:55 PM

yeah some of the solos are good, but I mean that his Scenes solos are way better imo. Like the Spirit Carries On solo and the Overture solos n stuff

Lord Abortion 04-09-2005 02:03 PM

I would sell my own mother to see them and maiden play... that may just be the greatest gig ever put on...

I now have all the studio albums except 6 degrees and FII but I will get 'em soon...
DT rule! I&w is still the best

horseypie 04-09-2005 11:56 PM

i only have ToT and scenes.....scenes has artier solos and ToT is more fast....i likes them both....lol i got bored and downloaded ther As i am solo of jp's website....its kool
