EmotionDetector Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Don't know if this matters to anyone...but I got this email from Sunrise Records here in Canada. They have this on their ad: DREAM THEATER METROPOLIS PT 2 VINYL 2LP GATEFOLD, 180G Pretty cool...VINYL. Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone that might be interested...

I agree. The only way Portnoy comes back is if Mangini leaves and i really don't see that happening I agree. And I have a feeling the next album will be even better than the last. I think mp smothered the dt fire, but it's burning brightly again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 3 hours of concert - CHECK; Setlist changes EVERY NIGHT - CHECK; Massive shredding - CHECK; Throw in a bit of a prog jam every now and then - CHECK; Stomacks and intestines intact - CHECK. Now could you ellaborate on your "lack of guts"claim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely sounds negative but ambiguous as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now could you ellaborate on your "lack of guts"claim? Guten tag. I have only seen them open for other bands, so the three hour setlist was out for me. But this was ok, I didn't care for a lengthy show. And duration live doesn't necessarily make it better. I have seen the same bands play live on different occasions - longer shows weren't always the more memorable. setlist change is cool, zappa always did it and I admire that..... But if its a stale performance it really doesn't matter what song was played - its how it was. massive shredding is a relative term, It apeals to certain people that like that style of playing. As a guitar player myself, I don't really enjoy John Petrucci's note for note playing. For me it just lacks a bit of feel and vibe.For sure he is amazing it what he does, I just dont like it. I like a solo that can fall off the rails, his are too much in line for my particular taste. The way they play live is a little stale is all im saying, for me. Some may find it mindblowing.

You just totally backtracked there. You already said you don't see how anyone could be obsessed over DT live, and then say that they're stale FOR YOU, but could be overwhelming for someone else. You basically answered yourself. It's an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Dream Theater's Octavarium show at the Minneapolis State Theater on St Patrick's Day 2006 holds up as one of my top-3 concerts I've ever attended. I don't want to say this firmly, but it might be the best live show I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
