Neil-o-Mac Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 http://home.comcast.net/~dtawake/dreamtheaterasiam.mp3 As played on the Eddie Trunk show last weekend. Ripped from the stream of the repeat. It's not the full version of As I Am, but for a radio edit, it's pretty cool.
cbacon Posted October 24, 2003 Report Posted October 24, 2003 Any other song suggestions? My Dad told me to check them out awhile back
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted October 24, 2003 Report Posted October 24, 2003 Your DAD told you to check out Dream Theater?
The Metal Maniac Posted October 24, 2003 Report Posted October 24, 2003 First, download John Petrucci playing "Flight of the Bumblebee". Then go download "Space-Dye Vest" (I can't BELIEVE I couldn't remember that off the top of my head - I had to go to Darklyrics.com) and "The Great Debate". Probably my favourite Dream Theater tunes.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 24, 2003 Report Posted October 24, 2003 Your DAD told you to check out Dream Theater? That doesn't surprise me too much. I bet he LOVES King Crimson, too. My dad is also an ex-hippy prog weirdo in his autumn years.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted October 24, 2003 Report Posted October 24, 2003 Aside from "Home", DT piss the hell out of me. I like some good prog, but they just suck. It's all twiddly shit over, y'know, good music...
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted October 25, 2003 Report Posted October 25, 2003 Aside from "Home", DT piss the hell out of me. I like some good prog, but they just suck. It's all twiddly shit over, y'know, good music... I love DT, but the man has sort of a point. I just don't think it applies to these guys, believe it or not. I hate guys like Yngwie Malmsteen and all THOSE guys though.
Red Baron Posted October 25, 2003 Report Posted October 25, 2003 I hate Yngwie because Yngwie thinks he creates shit, but its all been done before. D.T. and radio? That doesn't sound right
Guest Random Hero Posted October 25, 2003 Report Posted October 25, 2003 I downloaded it and I'm not all that impressed. They've done better.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 25, 2003 Report Posted October 25, 2003 I need to steal John Myung's fingers, too. Or at least his bass.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted October 25, 2003 Report Posted October 25, 2003 John Myung is the "hot chick". I mean c'mon, look at him. He looks like a bad amateur Asian Porn star.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 26, 2003 Report Posted October 26, 2003 Oh, I think they're all pretty faggy looking, but every person in that band can play the hell out of their instruments. That's pretty much their appeal, I'd say.

My dad is also an ex-hippy prog weirdo in his autumn years. Yup. My Dad listen's to a wide array of music. He's used my computer to burn hundreds upon of cd's he can't get a hold of
Slayer Posted January 9, 2004 Report Posted January 9, 2004 bada-BUMP Didn't want to make a new thread about this, but tomorrow I'm going shopping to redeem my Xmas gift certificates. I heard "As I Am" on a hard rock station while driving down to Texas, and was a bit surprised when the guy said it was DT, but I d/led the song later on and it grew on me, so I want to know how the rest of the TOT album is.

I heard "As I Am" on a hard rock station while driving down to Texas, and was a bit surprised when the guy said it was DT, but I d/led the song later on and it grew on me, so I want to know how the rest of the TOT album is. TOT is probably DT's most full-on 'balls and chunk' ( © Mike Portnoy) album, and was basically designed to give off a 'classic metal album' vibe. 'As I Am' is probably the weakest song on the album for me, but 'Honor Thy Father', 'This Dying Soul', 'Stream Of Conciousness' and 'In The Name of God' all kick ass. Go buy it. And buy Awake, Scenes From A Memory and Images & Words while you're at it.
Slayer Posted January 9, 2004 Report Posted January 9, 2004 And buy Awake, Scenes From A Memory and Images & Words while you're at it. You dare doubt my metalheadedness? I already own those CDs. The only DT CDs I do not own are the last two (TOT and SDOIT, which I'd also like input on)
Guest mesepher Posted January 9, 2004 Report Posted January 9, 2004 Well, it all depends what you like: a varied CD (like Six Degrees) or a wankfest (TOT) here's the good and bad of TOT: Good: lots of AWESOME melodies very catchy sections James sounds fantastic Great Grand Piano work by "the man" - JR Bad: rapping nu-metalish voice effects the guitar solos consist of JP running on the scales as fast as he can, this is my least favorite album for guitar solos. Some of them are decent... but overall, they tend to get annoying very quickly my favorite songs are probably Endless Sacrifice, Vacant and In the Name of God (although one of the guitar/keyboard duels goes on for far too long) I prefer Six Degrees, since its quite a varied album and the title track combines everything good about DT, plus Blind Faith is an amazing delivery all around
Guest mesepher Posted January 9, 2004 Report Posted January 9, 2004 the lyrics are also pretty lame (which is no real surprise)... ESPECIALLY Portnoy penned lyrics
