yea life is looking pretty good right now.

if only the guitar shop would call me and tell me when my JP sig is coming!!! it's been 3 months...

Marty Friedman has a huge list of music to his name.

Cacophony, Solo and Megadeth (Possible other bands too?).

If you haven't heard any of his solos stuff, I really suggest getting [i]Dragon's Kiss[/i], or [i]Music For Speeding[/i] before you get this album.

I prefer Music For Speeding, but Dragon's Kiss is still an awesome CD.

I would love Friedman and Petrucci in a new sort of Cacophony-esque shred band.

i have a few songs from cacophony like concerto, desert island, speed metal symphony...is that what his solo stuff is like? neo-classical shredding?

cuz then it's like yngwie and i dont like that stuff much :\

Does anyone know when DT is doing another southamerican tour?
I missed them when they came :upset:.

I need ToT still. I think I'll get it today or tomorrow.

Probably when the next album comes out.
So I think a year or two.

I am in love with Octavarium, the album is by far my favourite DT album now by quite some way.

The title track matches Close To The Edge for extreme awesomeness to my ears, and that used to be my fave epic.

i agree

Dragon's Kiss is similar to the stuff he did with Cacophony, since it was written around the same, and I think Marty wrote the majority of Cacophony's music too. The only other solo album of his I have is Music for Speeding, which was in the Daily Upload a few weeks ago. I haven't listened to it all, but the songs I have listened to remind me of Satch.

i think EVERY dream theater album is superb. save WDADU and FII which are just a LITTLE bit below everything else for me. i could not for the life of me choose my favorite album/song although blind faith has been playing for the past few hours nonstop.
yeayea im a fanboy im not gonna lie.

Friedmans solo stuff isn't really like Cacophony

Marty Friedman plays real random stuff, some of the songs sound like Cacophony, others sounds like J-Pop.

haha sounds like a talented man.
ill be sure to pick him up.
*his album. ew.

we've discussed portnoy, petrucci, labrie and rudess/moore/sheriinarininnarngan a lot so far. well...for the time i've been a regular in this thread anyway.
but what about that korean guy, myung? come ooooonnn people :smoke:
go koreans \m/

Hehe, there was a favourite band member sort of poll before, and I believe the majority of people said Myung.

Myung is the coolest member of the band, he writes the best lyrics, he doesn't talk too much and he invented the powerful and deadly "Myung takle".

[QUOTE=heavy metal kid]... and he invented the powerful and deadly "Myung takle".[/QUOTE]
lol

i can't believe my luck, ive bought I&W, awake, SFAM and octavarium all for 10 bucks each :)

Lucky ****, what shop did you buy from?

Yeah i got I&W, Awake and 8vm for the same price... :) sweet as...

wens gigantour dvd coming!

I can't possibly imagine what the next DT album will sound like.

[QUOTE=Element of LED 435]wens gigantour dvd coming![/QUOTE]


Portnoy said it will be done in september.

Whilst revising in a bored way...I came up with my current Ideal DT set.

Surrouded
Home
Trial of Tears
Misunderstood
Voices
The silent man
........................
This dying soul
Take away my pain
Goodnight kiss
solitary shell
Hollow years
Metropolis
..........................
Sacrificed sons
Disappear
The answer lies within
Vacant//In the name of God
About to Crash
The spirit carries on
.........................................
Wait for sleep//Learning to live
A change of seasons

I might make a playlist of this...no live versions of misunderstood or ATC (or obviously the 8VM tracks) :mad:

Yes, when I try and make perfect setlists they always end up to be 7 hours long.

I think it should go Vacant/SOC/In the name of god.

Yeah, I'm going to hold the world to ransom with an A-Bomb, and make Maiden, Iced Earth and DT headline my 3-day festival.

I choose the sets:mad:

Why stop there. Add Megadeth and a few other bands to the bill.

Already there. As are Blind Guardian, Cannibal Corpse, Sonata Arctica, Dragonforce, Judas Priest, Cathedral and many others.

/hatches plan.

Make sure that Priest play a few songs off of Painkiller.
