Sort of brings the story full circle. Try anything by Savatage. Pretty much all their albums are concept albums, and they generally end with killer ballads.

Message-ID: <000c01be85c7$b24672a0$message_id_removed> Hey all... I don't know what it was... but I stepped out of the shower.. and it hit me... No.. it wasn't the plans for the flux capacitor... but why Derek is no longer in Dream Theater and why he wasn't upset about it. Its so simple. The DS/Dream Theater split was amicable on both parts because Derek was looking to become more popular and wasn't truly used to working with a band as well, low key as DT. Derek was used to playing with KISS and AC etc... DT wasn't used to playing with someone whose intrests include Elton John. So, when the opportunity to have Jordan finally join the band came along.. They jumped at it. At the same time, Derek says "Finally!" I won't feel bad about leaving. They have a replacement and I can go off and play with another more popular act.. or in this case...finish his solo project. Just thought that I would share my vision....

Message-ID: ..And just like Jerry Maguire and his "vision", everyone in the office is looking at you thinking that you are a freak. :) DT is certainly used to playing with someone whose interests include Elton John. Their names are Kevin Moore and John Petrucci - have you heard of them? If you think that the Elton John covers that are found on the A Change of Seasons EP (the bonus Uncovered material) were there because of Derek, think again. Dream Theater, at their only all-instrumental show w/o a vocalist back in 1990, performed a big medley of cover songs which was basically the frame work for the "Big Medley" at the end of the ACOS EP. But, what was the first track they played in their 1990 medley? That's right - Funeral For a Friend by Elton John. So, certainly, this was not a reason for Derek's departure. I would go into more of the Moore/Sherinian/Rudess discussion and throw my opinions out there why Sherinian was replaced, but the answer seems pretty obvious. Rudess is a better fit for the band in terms of the direction they want to go. Plain and simple. The only thing I fear is that we'll get an album full of JP/JR riffs that won't lend much to writing "songs". I liked the more focused direction DT took with FII in terms of songwriting. But, with Derek gone, that may be gone too. -Bogie At 09:05 AM 4/13/99 -0700, Jeremy Kube wrote: >Hey all... > I don't know what it was... but I stepped out of the shower.. and it hit >me...

Now, I'm not a great classically trained person, >but my ear seems to think that Jordan is by far the most technical and >"classical" of the three. Definitely. Jordan played classical music for most of his life, according to his bio. The guy was trained at Julliard which is one of the most prestigious classical music schools in the world. He also states in an interview somewhere, I believe anyway, that classical music is the basic foundation for all his writing.
