Misunderstood and Disappear are my favourites off the first 6Doit disk and Goodnight kiss and solitary shell off the second

I never really liked the second disc too much, and the only song I've really listened to off of the first was TGP.

Moore can write music that's TONS better, but Rudess can play much better.

Goodnight Kiss is probably my favourite Petrucci moment. That solo changes mood so effortlessly. And the Great Debate is a great song, managed to convert my friend to DT through it, as she's really into the stem cell research issue.

I disagree. Rudess is pretty much the epitome of the perfect musician. Moore's music is more [I]interesting[/I] but I wouldn't say it's better because Rudess just knows more about music in general. Plus Rudess's solo stuff is pretty badass as well.

Rudess's music is objectively better, whereas more people can enjoy Moore's music in general.

Keyboard players are in high demand right now, which is awesome for me. :)

I think Moore was slightly better, because he fell into less wankery than Rudess.

I like Sherinian.

*runs*

Sherinian didn't write anything on FII though did he?

I don't think he did, and he didn't write A Change of Seasons. That was Moore. So, he didn't really do anything

Yeah, they did tell him though that he was only temporary. So he knew his days were numbered.

My fav from 6 degrees has to be solitary shell

Mine's Disappear.

I can't pick a favourite overall from the two disks, that would be evil to make me do it.

I still need to get that album. That and [I]Octavarium[/I] are the two I don't have.

Meh, he's got his solo stuff insted which is pretty kickas[I]s[/I]

My favourite would probably be Blind Faith followed by The Glass Prison

Oh, snap.

Does anyone know what the "Octavarium cartoon" is, exacly? On the mikeportnoy.com forums, it is mentioned as being one of the bonusses of the Score DVD.

It was the cartoon they ran on the video screen when playing Octavarium live last tour.

/Probably in youtube, ill check it out tomorrow

It was played during one of the instrumental parts during Octavarium. It's pretty funny and cool at the same time.:thumb:

Yeah it's pretty weird, it's just a visual display of the part where James sings the words that seem to make no sense together.

If I remember correctly, Rudess was dressed as either a Wizard or Santa for part of the cartoon.

Hey, has anyone heard of the band Frameshift? Their a side project with James LaBrie, I just got their album Unweaving the Rainbow. Dumb title, but its really good.

I didnt know James had a side project other than his solo stuff. Is it similar to DT?

Sort of, but its more direct and more James' show.

So its more like Another Day or Hollow Years than The Glass Prison on Never Enough?

If you haven't heard he, Devin Townsend and Mikael Akerfeldt on Ayreon's wonderful [I]The Human Equation[/I]...you really, really should.

No, I havent heard it. I havent heard new much music since my sound card stopped woring. I just listen to what I have on CDs. Its a real bummer.

You need to. Amazing album, but with a lame as hell ending.

For another of James's projects check out Mullmuzzler. I think that's what it was called.

And yes The Human Equation is an absolute masterpiece of an album. When I first got it I could not stop listening to it.
