So is Score worth getting. I can guess it's good, but is it better than Live in Budokan?

[QUOTE=Chu]Dunno what my mislabled As I Am is (It has similar lyrics to DT's, so tracking it down is ****ing hard...).
Even though they are mislabled, they're pretty cool songs, they all have a taste of progressive metal, I can easily see why I got them mixed up with Dream Theater songs[/QUOTE] Should be "Not With Me," also by Superior. |

Cool. |
[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Yeah, I love Sacrificed sons...I guess it would be pretty emotional to play in NY though.[/QUOTE]
Yeah it was very emotional. Some lady started to cry a few seats over as soon as the clips of the WTC were shown. I'm sure she wasn't the only one.:( |
I thought Rudess's strings/continuum intro was a little long but still interesting, if we wouldn't have done the random noise/both fingers just sliding down the whole keyboard bit I would have loved it all. Rudess is ACE but when he gets wanky I immediately lose interest. Ghettoeddo, I turned 18 yesterday (sept 2) way to go!!! (I'm gona be a senior in HS though). I can only imagine how emotional it was to see "Sacrificed Sons" in NY, it was really moving for me to see it played with the footage in Minnesota...
AND YES, Score is worth getting and better than Budokan if you're a DT fan, if you're a shred/metal head and like DT just for JP's ripping, you probably would just enjoy watching Budokan on repeat. |

:naughty: It is that good. |
Boy is this sad. I'm looking at getting a MusicMan John Petrucci signature guitar, and I've never even heard Dream Theatre.
P.S. My neighbour's name is John Petrucci. |
MMJPs are great guitars, light, contoured body, slim fast necks and unique cool pickups. The bridge is the best thing about that guitar wow, a floyd rose without the hassles. If you want to play fast and percise, go for it. and check out DT asap, start with Images and Words or Scenes from a Memory (if you're a shred/metal guy at heart, go straight to Train of Thought)
and Dream Theater (yes the actual guys) HATE it when you spell it "Theatre" no worries, CHEERS! |

[QUOTE=ghettoeddo]i kinda like the intro...makes the song as a whole much better.
the glass prison was playing at the guitar center near my college :] i am officially 18 in 5 hours WUTEWUTE!!! they also played liquid tension songs during my orientation...it was freaking amazing to hear LTE rip through the courtyard of my school.[/QUOTE] They played Awake in my guitar center :cool: Found some more info on these Superior guys [url]http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=3665[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_(band)#Demos[/url] [url]http://www.meet-superior.de/index.php[/url] I'm gonna check some more of this s[I]hi[/I]t out |
i am officially 18 haha

The pre-chorus sounds awesome, but the chorus ruins the whole song for me. It sounds so U2 and I absolutely cannot stand that group.:angry: But I digress. Being at that show was amazing.:thumb: And with the guitar, do you mean the Ernie Ball? Technically you CAN get a floyd rose, but it will require a fair amount of work. If I recall, the Petrucci sig has a standard style tremelo rather than a floating tremelo. His old Ibanez sig models had Floyds/Edges but his Ernie Balls have a special standard one. This means you'll prob have to get some new drilling, cutting for the floyd to even fit in the cavity and the locking nut as well as springs I believe. |
Imo, his Ibanez > MusicMan

GOT MY SCORE CD'S TODAY!!
Sounds awesome! Although I must say, because MP knew how tight the curfew was getting, he REALLY pushed Octavarium. Like, so fast it almost ruined the song imo. Still great though. Bring on the DVD imo. |
Gots my Score DVD's 'n' CD's today.
Man am I happy! I'm yet to listen or watch either, but i've just started listening to the first disc now. I rarely post here, just thought i'd come in 'n' say HALLO! HALLO! |
Is the CD any different?
|
So I go to two different places yesterday and none of them had Score.
Buncha bitches I say! |
Got my copy of score dvd today, most probably the only one in worthing...because i bought the only copy from the only shop in my town that was likely to have it.

Thats just a coincidnce. The real JP lives in St. James Long Island, not Ontario, Cananda. |
hey GI, were you the guy with the big white sheet?
I can't make out what's on it but I see it every now and again. |
[QUOTE=Happy]hey GI, were you the guy with the big white sheet?
I can't make out what's on it but I see it every now and again.[/QUOTE] No, that was LionHeart if I remmebr correctly. I was weraing a Zeppelin shirt, about 30 rows back holding a huge white sign. |
I'll have to watch for it then.
|
ohh 30 rows back...i thought he said row 6.
will getting my ernie ball's body drilled to fit the floyd rose...is that worth it you think? will it change the tone a lot? i mean, my tremolo is great except that it's realy low, so i can't rotate it back around if you know what i mean. it gets stuck hitting the volume know and it's kinda uncomfortable to paly as it gets in the way sometimes. |
eug: I think his Music Man is superior. Have you played both and know from experience or just going off what you've seen/heard him play? Because I definetly love older JP tone better (circa Once in a Livetime) but I think the actual MMJP guitar is superior.
Lionsheart: I used to be right with you on dispising I Walk Beside You (the key change made me cringe horribly) but now I've come to terms with it. The song as a whole is so cool I'm willing to ignore a few shortcomings. ghettoeddo: I'd stick with the bridge you've got in your MMJP, MM doesn't make any other bridge like that and IMO it's phenomenal. If you really really want a FR, as long as you had a good luthier drill/install/set it up for you you should be good and probably only lose the tiniest tiniest bit of sustain (most of it happens right behind your bridge) and to the rest of you just getting SCORE....what's the deal? Just slow to get it or do you live in the boondocks? Pre-ordering is definetly foolish, it almost always comes late.... I walked into Best Buy around 10:30 on tuesday and got my dvd...for 14.99 :D |
Yeah, mine is coming on Wednesday, and I'm never preordering anything again.

aiite ill keep the normal bridge...i thought all JPMM's came w/ the floyd rose haha guess not.
and i prefer the musicman's tone over the ibanez.. NP: know your enemy-RATM |
