[QUOTE=playguitar]I was talking about musical enjoyment.[/QUOTE]

Uhh...what?

Yo ladies make another thread if you're gunna talk about non-DT stuff.

[QUOTE=Kreator2112]You are in the Dream Theater Thread.



Uhh...what?[/QUOTE]

sorry I wasn't aware that everyone else in DT quit the band and petrucci was releasing solo albums under the name my bad

Well usually fans of the band are fans of the members in the bands. Usually that's how it works :thumb:

Well I like Rudess and Myung alot but petrucci isn't really my favorite when it comes to guitars

Who is? Vai?

Got me.

huh? I just said I couldn't stand Vai

Mikael Akerfeldt and Johnny Greenword are pretty high up there if I were to rank

Yeah, I was kidding about Vai.

Akerfeldt kicks arse.

no doubt

it's refreshing for someone in his genre to not be all about technicality and more about blending with the song and playing with emotion.

He doesn't abuse the guitar too much.

He makes sweet love to it.

Brisbane convention center is an under 18 venue yes?

Sure is. Well, most gigs there are under 18. Got awesome?

You gonna come down to Brissie for this gig Inkstar? I'm gonna have to get a heap of money in a short amount of time (G2 and G3)

Yeah definitely man. We'll have to meet up. Doubt G2 will be under 18 though. :(

Speaking of skolnick, does anyone have [I]Transformation[/I]? and if so...can i have it?

But yeah to be honest i think JP sounds better inside dream theater than he does on his solo product...the reason i think this is because JP's stuff is a little to reminiscent of satch and by this i mean like constant soloing over a riff or two. The reason i like the majority of vai's stuff better is because it seems like the rest of the instruments are actually there to contribute to the song rather than just provide backing for someone to solo over, if you catch my drift.

I also feel that vai is just more inventive and his works with vocals are great as opposed to petrucci and satch who (as far as i know) havn't used vocals.

Yeah JP does sound better in DT than solo, but that's because there's 3 (sometimes 4) other people bouncing ideas off each other. So they might write a riff, then Portnoy might say "oh what if you did it this way..." or whatever. On his solo project JP didn't have that much 'freedom'.

Thats true, although i think the problem may of been that on his solo project he had [I]too much[/I] freedom, seen as it was HIS project people probably didn't criticise him that much which then leads to a lack of developement of ideas.

But when you put so many great musicians together eg dream theater...the ideas are bound to progress and become better like what you said.

I need to get James' solo album:(

I can hook you up with it if you give me your email?

Nah you would hate me but thanks for the offer ;)

[QUOTE=Triangle]I haven't listened to DT in ages...[/QUOTE]
I don't blame you.

No matter how hard I try, I can't get into this band. It's great to passively listen to, but when I pay attention to the music I get bored
