Been busy and have not been able to post, but here are some pics from the concert a week ago.. (I have a lot more, but I am just gonna post a couple, I cannot resize these with iphoto) Crimson Projekt http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/602624_2273316168679_1356326087_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/564011_2273316248681_884742133_n.jpg Dream Theater Good Full Band Image with the stage setup http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/532509_2273319608765_1110654637_n.jpg Jordan on Keytar http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/532480_2273317808720_646749393_n.jpg John and John http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/553958_2273319288757_1932418966_n.jpg Band at the End http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/318740_2273320648791_1357307870_n.jpg

While I voted for Keys on the whole, I will say this "Homeworld" is probably my single favorite track from a latter day Yes album.

Blabbermouth just posted the legal statment by the band in responce to Tate's suit. (sorry for no like cannot copy and paste from my phone)...it is very telling, and makes Tate off to look like a complete dick. Apparently Tate tried to option an Operation Mindcrime film without his bandmates consent or knowledge... The musical dirction causing depleting album sales and recieving poor reviews was obvious to anyone with ears....the band will be better off without Tate EDIT TO ADD: posted this at the same time as the post above, sorry for redundacy

For those who know, is there any difference between the Keys 1 and 2 studio material, and the actual album "Keystudio".. I have never actually heard the latter in full before... only the keys 1&2 double albums

I know this band has been mentioned here before but I finally picked up one of their albums...thir first album "Hinterland" was amazin, and thir other 2 albums shot way up on my want list

I too just have whbwh, and wanting more

The Police Aerosmith, I like some, but never really got into them Springsteen (seems to be common)

I was listening to "Magnification" today, first time in a long while, and really enjoyed it..and thd thought about what was the bes Yes album post 1990. I still have not heard either "Talk" or "Open Your Eyes" mainly due to people keep telling me to avoid those albums...but aside from "Union" I pretty much like all their post 90s albums. I liked FFH and while alot of people didnt like Yes without Anderson, I still found the album very enjoyable.... "The Ladder" has a couple stinkers, but is mostly good. So for this poll Im gonna vote for the keys material...I really enjoy those songs.

HOLY shtie was it amazing......Ill post a full review and some pics later on when I can (busy weekend), but one special thing we got was an extended encore... Today (well yesterday, as I am posting this after midnight) was the 20th anniversary of Images and Words, and they've been playing just (SPOILER) "Metropolis" as an encore for the duration of the tour, tonight they played "Pull Me Under" "Another Day" and "Metropolis" in honor of the anniversary... great show... had an amazing time. Dammit, why didn't they start playing Pull Me Under and Another Day at the begining of the tour so I could've heard those two songs? Like I said, yesterday was the day I&W came out 20 years ago... so I think it was just that show..... but I dunno.

QUOTE (PolarizeMe @ Jul 6 2012, 10:32 AM) I'm guessing you got the grey cover version. When you think about it though, the deluxe edition of Get All You Deserve is at a reasonable price. Most BluRays/DVDs I know are at a retail price of $16.99-$19.99, and double CDs are also around that amount, so if you combine both, the total price should be around $34-$40 which is somewhat around the actual price for the deluxe edition. There's going to be a standalone BluRay, and a standalone DVD version of it, but the CDs are exclusive to this version which doesn't surprise me. Steven's considering a vinyl version of it for sometime later. I did get the grey cover version of "Anesthetize" ... Im not complaining about the price of these things that Wilson puts out, they are usually worth it... And I am being a bit sarcastic in my complaining... but Wilson does seem to put out a big multi-disc "must have" set with every single project he releases, and thus my frustrations come out in the hurting of my wallet.

Didn't get that one... The last big thing I ordered from Burning Shed was the ultra deluxe edition of the "Anesthetize" live release.. and that was like $70

Well, there goes another 50 bucks... Ughh, damn you Wilson!

Remember this video from almost 2 years ago now.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLcYBrQcEsA Alot of people were speculating that this soundcheck jam eventually would be a song on CA.. but we would have to wait a year and a half to find out.. Now that the album's been out for a while, what do you think of that soundcheck from 2010? While that jam was not an actual Clockwork Angels track, it does seem very like the title track in many ways, and I wonder if that was the title track in it's early phases? Your thoughts?

Out of stock, I can't even find out how my wallet will be raped this time.

so, who will make a bigger impact in their rookie season, Luck or RGIII?

Have a good one! http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/417559_2249595375674_475799637_n.jpg

I loved S&A but the last 3rd of the album (aside from MalNar) was very lacking... CA holds me at the edge of my seat for the whole ride.

I love The Wall - Musically, It's not their best there are many musically better albums...though the album is very good musically, just far from their best...plus it was hardly a "Floyd" effort, as Much as I love Waters, he was an asshole, power-hungry douche bag back then.. I still consider it a "Floyd" album, especially when you compare it to "The Final Cut" (which I don't consider a Floyd album) but you can tell that the other guys had very little creative influence on the record.. - Writing wise, It is one of the best albums ever.. once again despite being dominated by Waters, he created a masterpiece, the album is very well illustrative and engrossing... the story while depressing is enthralling.. and seeing it played live (with full production of course)is a life changing experience. - David Gilmour's guitar solo in "Comfortably Numb"....nuff said.

I almost put Led Zeppelin 1 on here as well.. (I would have counted) as a joke, but avoided it. ----------------- I voted for the Jordan Rudess... I love that record, he does a great job with the covers..

I am trying to stick to actual studio recordings, there are live compilations that several bands...cough(Dream Theater)cough(Phish)cough..... have where it is live covers, so I am discounting those.. There are also several records where you have multiple artists covering the music of one artist... I am not counting those either... I am trying to stay to the One artist's albums where they cover multiple artists...EPs or LPs I also want to avoid "Tribute" albums Orchestra/String/Bluegrass Tributes to one artists...so I am not counting those as well (sorry California Guitar Trio... you're amazing, but I cannot count you) I was a bit apprehensive about putting the Scorpions "Comeblack" on there, 2/3 of the album is just re-recordings of their own stuff.. but there was enough covers on there to warrant it's inclusion I think.. That's all I could think of, but I put an "other" option in there If you wish and could think of one I did not.

I posted about this on FB earlier....RIP Both, curiously, are members of the "27 club"

You know we have them... show them off for the forum... Here's Mine: http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/577392_2245676517705_425883104_n.jpg 2112.net has a good selection of high res shots... most of which are just 1200X900.. good for some computers and some (like mine) still a bit too small..though this one doesn't look too bad at only 1200X900. -------- Though if anyone would know where some good high res shots greater than than can be found, it would be much appreciated...I am getting no luck with a google image search.
