I need it heavy duty! Well that was interesting, now for your punishment you need to go to Music of the spheres and check out my Ozric Tentacles thread!

QUOTE (priest_of_syrinx @ Nov 3 2006, 05:38 PM) Does anybody here have a CD called "An Evening With John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess"? I bought it at Best Buy last week and it's amazing! It has Rudess on piano and Petrucci mainly on acoustic guitar and I think the songs are all from Liquid Tension Experiment, but I'm not really sure. If you like DT, it's a must have. Only one of those songs is from the LTE projects to the best of my knowledge. State of Grace is from the first LTE disc. Great disc from the Favored Nations label. ( Steve Vai's label)

QUOTE (progrush2112 @ Nov 3 2006, 03:37 AM) Ozrics are amazing! I have 'The Hidden Step' and 'Spiral into Hyperspace' CDs. Recently got their newest album 'The floor's too far away.' I highly recommend it. I am having trouble finding some of their older stuff, like 'Jurassic Shift' 'Erpland' 'Waterfall Cities' and others from 80s/90s Try Amazon for some of their older material. They repackaged alot of the older discs into 2 for 1 deals with Erpland & Pungent Effulgent being sold together. Several other packages like that should be available too. I also recommend picking up their DVD entitled "Live At The Pongmasters Ball" when you get a chance.

QUOTE (The Rocinante @ Nov 2 2006, 05:12 PM) Okay, another question, I have Images and Words and Train of Thought, and they're both awesome, what now? I'm thinking Change of Seasons or Six Degrees... You really can't go too far wrong with any of them. You might try one of their live discs/dvd as they are very impressive in concert. A Change of Seasons only has one original epic and then a bunch of covers.

Treeduck, Have you ever order any CDs from the Travis Dickerson site? I see, I can order or download alot of the concert only discs and other rarities there like Inbred Mountain and apparantly Crime Slunk Scene will be there soon.

Grabbed this from the Ozzy thread as I don't wish to hijack that thread. Quoting Treeduck: "To be honest i doubt he could remove it and play live, I'm sure it's a stage fright thing and not just a gimmick..." You could be right about the stage fright thing but I actually consider it to be crafty marketing of an image or character. Its like he is a rock and roll superhero. Regardless, he is one of a kind and that is in my book.

Yeah, Eds the real deal and of course a great fan of Steve Vai. Here a article from Guitar Player in 1994 with a quote from Ed describing when he was aked to jam with Satriani............ Make no mistake, the Ozrics are a guitar band (well, they're a flute band too, but that's another story). A master of everything from the Eastern and esoteric through lissom reggae to electrifying fusion-widdle, Ed can, um, play a bit. A fact which Joe Satriani, for one, is well aware of. 'I hadn't a clue that it was going to happen,' boggles Ed. 'They'd asked me if I'd like to see Joe Satriani and I said yeah, 'cos it'd be a guitarist burning up on stage which would be fun to watch. But when I got there, I was immediately ushered backstage and asked whether I had my guitar with me... They'd set up this jam in this dressing room, just me and him and a couple of guitars and all these cameras! And there we were having this weird little jam! It was really hot as well, so I was sweating away feeling very strange indeed. In fact it made me feel strange for about three days! 'Mind you I think Stevie Vai has the edge on him compositionally. It's almost like Joe's trying to play songs without the lyrics, retaining the song form. It's something I'm very keen to break away from myself. Also, I like Vai's sense of humour and his textual guitar sense. I think that he's really mad and I think he's opened the way for really "mad guitar" to be explored. Acrobatic guitar playing I call it.'

Well, I have been recommending these guys whenever possible on this forum and felt it was high time that I finally started a thread. I know Rushgoober is familiar with their earlier material and I believe that The Masked Drummer said he saw them live. These guys have been around for over 20 years and have around 20 discs to their credit. Their music includes more different styles and elements than any other group I am aware of and 99.9% is instrumental. Their music is far too strange and tripping for most people but I hope someone here will like it. Check them out: Vita Voom Kick Muck

QUOTE (nic2112nic @ Oct 30 2006, 11:30 AM) I bought my first Dream Theater Album (Octavarium) the other day. I don't know why the hell I havn't any of their stuff before... Much better late than never......

QUOTE (priest_of_syrinx @ Oct 29 2006, 11:42 AM) Yesterday I bought An Evening With John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess. It is the only "side project" CD I own and it's so awesome. They both go totally insane. Rudess stays on piano the whole time and Petrucci is usually on acoustic guitar, but he does change to electric a few times. Thats a great one there! I would highly recommend either of the Liquid Tension Experiment discs. The song "State of Grace" is from the first LTE disc.

Wheres Blacula? http://www.monstrula.de/news/203/blacula.jpg Christopher Lee was my choice.

I have been watching Mr Meaty with my son and I think it enjoy more than he does. I would attempt to describe the show as Beavis and Butthead meet the muppets. Anyways, it plays on Nickelodeon, check it out if you can. http://www.nick.com/meaty/

No, I did not shoot that clip. No acoustic guitar or banjo for the show I was in attendance for. Its funny that, after all that that I spent searching for him playing on the banjo, I can only find such a short clip and its was filmed in my hometown for a show I missed. This studio video below for the "Spokes for the Wheels of Torment" is simply amazing creative. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgbDD5YL31Y

Well I guess I've got some catching up to do. I had no idea he had 11 releases out. Have you heard the Sex and Religion disc? What SYL disc do you recommend I start with?

QUOTE (Roddy @ Oct 21 2006, 12:43 AM) Devin is GOD. My 2nd favourite artist of all time, and actually closing in on Rush as my all time favourite. Everything that man does is pure gold, and pure genius. Go out and buy EVERYTHING he's ever done..... I think I will.

I bought his newest release "Synchestra" and its great! What an amazing voice he has.

One of the best things about score is that they seem to be really relaxed and enjoying themselves. very strong perfomance. I like it an the end of the encore when one of dudes from the orchestra does a brief

Oz is one of several TVshows I have yet to watch but want to check out..I can't seem to find Season 1 for rental anywhere..I wan to start it from the beginning... i never noticed him in that which character did he play? And Test Oz is a really good series but a little too heavy with the male rape/male arse shots I don't watch much TV in particular violent stuff but I have seen most or all of the OZ shows. Its a very addictive show and I just could not stop watching it despite the very,very brutal content. Its a great show but it is majorly violent. I don't recall him playing a guess role but not disputing that he did.
