alright i take it back. LaBrie is good, but sometime he does suck live!

[QUOTE=Element of LED 435]shud i buy live scenes from new york CD or budokan CD, rite now im leaning toward new york becuz ive watched the budokan video b4 and not many of my favorite songs and plus with the LSFN i wont have to invest in buying metropolis pt. 2... wuts ur opinions tho[/QUOTE]

LSFNY is a definite must buy. IMO, Budokan lacks the homely atmosphere felt in LSFNY. While Budokan is in a huge stadium with a large audience, LSFNY is set on a small stage creating a nice, cosy environment. Plus, the audience in LSFNY is way better than the one in Budokan. Think I'm crazy? Watch Learning to Live on LSFNY, and you WILL be clapping with them towards the end.

I really like James' voice on the live a change of seasons. He really gets strong, but wails towards the end, awesome:cool:

Nah I can't say that happens to me.

Could be my lack of hands.

Close to crying during the spirit carries on?

Yeah I do that...

It is damn emotional.
I've never been close to tears watching the DVD. Maybe audio.

[QUOTE=bwnstl]You should learn to type, too.

Temporary, what file format is this in?[/QUOTE]

Mp3.

.sitx?

I can't play that...

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion].sitx?

Thats just the zip. Do you have Stufit? There might be problems, cause I use a Mac.

No?

damn i was looking forward to it too...the DSOTM that is.

yea spirit carries on is emotional. especially live...idk. i'd be hard-pressed to find a song more powerful. im a huge fan of through her eyes as well :]

whoever can get an mp3 file of the DSOTM covers will be for a long time, synonymous with God.

The Spirit Carries On is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Brilliant beyond belief.

Hey everyone, I have a powertab of Never Enough, and I'm completely, totally, seriously loving the guitar/keyboard Unison/harmony lead part that starts off with that Gminsus2 arpeggio. The problem is, I can't see how John played the last 2 beats of every 2nd bar like the way it's tabbed, and given the tempo is 128bpm, and he's playing 16th note triplets and the pattern would be hard to play accurately at even a slower tempo. I know it's JP an' everythin' but dang!

Is there any sort of official tab or anything, or has anyone got a tab with more accurate fingerings for this section, I'd love to learn it the right way. Thanks.

i have the official tab book...but it's actually worse than the powertab. the fingerings are near impossible at that speed.

i'd say the powertabs is actually your best bet :\ or muck through it and find your own fingerings.

taht's my favorite part of the song too...too bad it's the ONLY part i cant play :upset:

you know what you CAN do also...figure out the key for those runs in the last half of the bar...and omit troublesome notes. if you can keep it 1-2 notes per string and a steady pattern like that, it shiouldn't be too bad. the problem comes when there's like...3 notes, 2, 3, then 1 note on another adjacent string.

Had they ever played Space Dye Vest live, I would've thought it would've been more powerful.

Nope, out of respect to Kevin Moore. They've asked him to be a guest at a couple concerts now, but he's always declined.

Really? Try body percussion.

Yeah I knew that :p
I was saying it would be more powerful than TSCO if they did.

[QUOTE=Deth]The Spirit Carries On is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Brilliant beyond belief.[/QUOTE]
Totally.

As far as SDV goes...I know it would be great, but I can't see Kevin ever doing it.

Maybe we can "persuade" him to do it :)

Chloroform, Check

Rag, check

Keyboard, Check

Pistol, check


Beautiful.

All you guys have to do to open the DSOTM cover is to download Stuffit. I hate having a Mac though, cause stuff like this always happens. If that doesn't work, drop me your AIMs and I'll send it to you that way.

My friend who I got into DT has an Aunt that went to school with Petrucci. I may be meeting Petrucci and/or the entire band.

R&Mer of the Year Part 2 is finally up. Go vote when you get a chance.

dude what the eff...you people that live in long island...BAH so jealous.

i would commit genocide to shake hands/meet petrucci in person.
...maybe.

temporary, my AIM is ghettoeddo14 but im rarely on. pop me a hello if i am though thanks

I seriously doubt that book is official then, unless you know 100% that Petrucci sat there and transcribed it all for them to publish, otherwise it's probably just some random guys doing their best like any other tab book, which would explain the even worse fingerings.

I might have a go at re-arranging it, I think I tried before and gave up though...

If everyone had a Mac, the world would be a better place.

*Slackware GNU/Linux - Gnome Desktop, not quite a Mac, but close enough :cool:

yea it's 2 guys who interpreted it their way. for the most part, it's hwo petrucci plays it though. but obviously, the solo sections are gonna have huge discrepancies.

sorry man~
if you get a better ararngement...let me know. cuz i really wanna learn it too

They could've watched Petrucci live and got the fingerings from that :-/
It would've been more accurate.
