Ask Portnoy..he'll tell you himself. For one thing you can't even hear his cymbals on Images and his snare is totally annoying. All ghost notes and little nauances are gone due to the fact that his snare is sampled. A sampled drum sounds means that a trigger is applied to the drums and sent to a midi source, then you get whatever sound you have sampled. This is also the worst sounding snare sample I've ever heard. As far as hard drum songs...When trying to learn Metropolis use the live version from Live at the Marquee... I'ts much easier to learn how to count the end of the insrtumental section this way. I first learned that part at a show! Watching Mike play it... I think the hardest song would be Learning to Live. That is..playing it exact. Stuff on the first album is pretty tricky as well. Check out the fill right before John P.s solo on TWHTSTS Very cool Oh yeah another cool part...check out Mike's kick pattern in the second verse of Innocence Faded. That part totally makes the song for me. Well theres my 2 cents. Oh yeah did anyone get the Divine Regale tape??

I have every CD they have put out and I would recommend 'The Odd Get Even' - It is my favorite. I am also a huge Michael Hedges fan! Check out 'Aerial Boundaries' - He sounds like 3 acoustic guitars at once without over dubbing! WORST DT SONG: Lie (Still hate it - although the outro is great) "You can make a fortune in 'lies'" :) It seems like there are several people on this list with diverse musical interests. I'm curious. How many ytsejammers like NIN. NIN is one of my favorite 'bands(?)'! I've seen NIN twice on the current tour and the show is amazing. I'll bet there are a lot on NIN haters on this list but I'm sure some of us like NIN. Just curious...

You can be certain I've heard Steve Vai playing his 7-string Ibanez Universe on "The Audience is Listening" and in Light Without Heat. No, John Petrucci isn't the first person to use a 7-string--but I personally find him to be the guitarist who uses the low "B" string most tastefully within songs. Yes, anyone can walk into a large guitar shop and plunk down some serious money (in the $1000 arena). I say custom because John Petrucci does not use the precise same type of guitar that Steve Vai does, though it is similar--and you're absolutely right about how guitarists will go in for options like better pickups, scalloped fretboard, etc., etc. Actually, some of the Vai models out there have scalloped frets on the higher registers... from about the 19th fret on. The Yngwie Signature Series Strat from Fender comes with a completely scalloped fretboard, however.

What I would like to know is: how the hell have Pantera sold out? If anything, they have gotten harder and less "commercial" with every album. Granted, they have changed their style over the past few years, but they went from being a more mainstream band to being one of the hardest acts ever on a major label, and they made the change back when big-haired glam bands like Poison and Warrant were at the height of their popularity. How does moving farther and farther away from the commercially accepted mainstream make them sellouts? I just don't get it. I may be somewhat biased on this issue, since I like Pantera even more then I like DT, but calling Pantera "sellouts" is nonsense.

Uhh...sorry, but you couldn't be more misinformed my > friend... No, I think he meant that that kind of song writing is hard enough, without comparing it to DT's songwriting. To get a "number one Bon Jovi hit", one has to appeal to everyone so that everyone will like it. I guess one could call it selling out one's artistic intregrity for money but who knows if he had any in the first place? I don't think DT ever really cared about appealing to everyone but Bon Jovi did so I wouldn't compare the two when they obviously had different musical goals in mind.

This is because another boot, "Dimension Shift" is nearly identical to this one, and this one is next to impossible to find. ::11,6,3,8,1,14,12,9 Classic Live (1993 REBORN CLASSICS: RC1045) Recorded at Plus 5, Ft.

This is a radio broadcast. It is a little different of "Dream out loud" because it features the full version of "Learning to live" (cut off on DOL) and "Eve"! ::13,14,2,15,17,50,46,10,9,18,16. Excellent (Nova/ GEMA NV-09) audience recording, New York, 7/22/93 Cheap packaging, portrait band photo on front cover. Sounds like it was recorded by a distant stereo microphone at the back of the hall. Slight stereo image, even quality, massive drum sound, possible DAT recording. Deep bass notes (bass pedals?) get distorted. Concert is not same as DoL but Galactic Cowboys are credited too. Date is possibly supported by JL "on road for 10 months","N.Y". No close audience sound. ::14,12,21,11,17,49?,46,2,10,9,16 Mission: Impossible (2CD) (Wyvern EC.BV.

Records # BKCD089) October 27th, 1993; Stockholm, Sweden FM broadcast for live, soundboard for demos vocals: Labrie for Live, Collins for Majesty Demos Edits between several songs, possibly where station played its call letters. No static on the recording. No deeps bass (nothing above 12 kHz). The demos sound better than the "Official 1986 Demos" CD. The packaging is ok, with a chrome font for the dream theater, and all 5 guys' heads floating over a live stage shot, with the stage mostly dark. The CD is a picture disc, with the flaming heart from LatM on the cover (looks like a 2 or 3 color scan) ::13,33,6,14,15,12,11,9,27,23,24,25 Lost In The Sky, Italy (1994 Why Not? and Metal Crash: MECD2158/59) November 15, 1994; Palasesto, Milan, Italy Soundboard, pre FM broadcast DAT, mixed with aud DAT for Under Glass Moon & March Of The Tyrant. Packaging is roughly half of the size of an album sleeve, sort of like old CD longboxes. CDs fit in middle of tri-fold case. Individual pictures of band, although Myung's picture is there for himself and Petrucci. ::13,33,6,14,15,12,3,21,11 ::17,53,10,8,9,18,16 "Milan 93", 1994, 2CD (Italy) 2CD Live Storm 52593 Radio recording, Milan, Italy, November 15, 1993.
