I suck at arpeggios. I guess I'll try to learn the glass prison arpeggio because it seems easier than alot of Petrucci's other arpeggios.

Well, the TGP Arpeggio run is the only arpeggio I've ever played (I can't really make anything up, I've tried some Jason Becker, but don't usually get past say the 3rd note :p), but after a few months of playing it, I can sweep pretty well now.. I think the main problem for me was getting the whole Left Hand/Right Hand timing correct...

Anyone have any videos of NBA Spurs games, where they play DT as the team intro?

I heard that their sound man is a DT fan or something.

Oh, I think they played a snippet of TGP during game 5 in their last series.

Well that sounds interesting

what do u rate as DT's best epic?? A Change Of Seasons or Octavarium??

ACOS. We've been debating this over the last page or so :p

It is pretty easy, especially if I can play it :p

What song did they play? I have heard some cool songs get played at Spurs games, like snippets of 6:00 and Metropolis. And they used to play Planet Hell by Nightwish for the team intro.

You're talking about the NBA right?
Because DT at Spurs (tottenham) games would definitely make me go.

a really great shred by him is the sweeping arpeggios in Glass Prison, even though they are without emotion they are so complex and crazy awesome

If they are talking about the NBA, I have now become a big Spurs fan.

for sure... how awesome would it be running out onto the court to DT?

It would be great. Im not even a big basketball fan, but I would go to a Spurs game for a 20 second clip of DT.

I don't need an excuse to see Man United, but if they suddenly decided to utilise good music before matches...that would be double-plus-good.

Haha, yeah I was talking about the NBA.
Dream Theater before a football match though... I just can't imagine it.

yeah its hard to form a chant when the time signature keeps changing.

lol youd be blown away though if you were sitting in the crowd and DT started pumping though...

at that point youd be 'who cares how the match results im happy'... lol

I'm now imagining a football crowd chanting the tune to The Dance of Eternity. Man, that would be something.

After the intro it's gonna be a bit hard to keep a constant chant going though :lol:

By football you mean soccer right? I hate how sports have different names in America and Europe. Its so confussing. Why cant you guys change to meet our standards :p

^^ typical seppo... :P

but yeah i dont think 'dance of eternity' was what we had in mind lol...

You wish! We thought of it first. Besides, the name football suits soccer much better than American football.

that it does... have you ever seen Aussie football however?

Maybe you dudes can help me...im kinda new to dream theater. I've downloaded a few tracks from limewire (yes naughty me) and im lovign them but I need the right track names for a few songs that have screwed up track names. Theres one song where the lyrics is like ' I swear I never ment to hurt you' and the closing line of lyric is '..and i feel alone' Any help?

i cant tell from that. what kind of song is it heavy or more proggy?
chorus lyrics?

The 'I never ment to hurt you is the main line in the chorus. Its quite a melodic chorus whilst the rest of the song is pretty straight forward heavy. Theres some DJ scratching in the verses.

i actually think that's not a dream tehater song.

it's probably from james labrie (the vocalist)'s solo project "elements of persuasion."
i think it's track 5. it's called "lost."

it almost sounds linkin-park-ish w/ the whole techno thing eh?

graduation was awesome :]

ah found it, it is James Labrie, its track #2 from elements of Persuasion - Alone

Thanks dudes \m/

Anyone else heard James LaBries "Elements Of Persuasion", it's quite good

I'm going to but it when I have some spare cash.
