Type O Negative – Christian Woman

What a great song as almost everythin from Type O Negative.

[jodionline]

Dream Theater – Voices

One of their best songs and their best albums "Awake".

[Stained Class]

[Disco]

Watching the Who live at the Isle of Wight.

Watching the Who live at the Isle of Wight.

that is an awesome DVD - I have it.

Dream Theater – Voices

One of their best songs and their best albums "Awake"

Awake is a great album, but I have to say my favorite (of the four DT albums I own and know well) is...



and my absolute favorite DT song is the track from the above called Scene Three: II. Fatal Tragedy (this is so perfect start to finish) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vq6NevcLOQ

favorite parts and lyrics....
Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back

Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind

"Now it is time to see how you died. Remember that death is not the end but only a transition."

as well as the great instrumental part beginning around 3:50

[Monmisreal]

God I used to love DT. I remember them being one of my favorite bands but one day I just got extremely bored with the dick measuring contests between Petrucci and Rudess. Metropolis Pt. 2 would be my favorite album if you cut out like 2-3 minutes from every song those two go back and forth with their noodling lmao

Type O Negative – Christian Woman

Agreed love Type O

yes, I agree they do a lotta noodling - but I like it in their case. I actually came quite late to Dream Theater considering they've been around for more than 20 years. It was only about 5-6 years ago that a prog friend of mine couldn't believe I had never listened to them, and proceeded to burn copies of Awake, A Change of Seasons, Images and Words, and Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory for me. Then, he and I, and several others went to see them at the great, historic Chicago Theatre on State Street in August of 2009 (my first and only time seeing them). That was a great gig - especially loved Zappa Plays Zappa and Big Elf who were also on that tour. I know they put out several recordings since the ones I have - I'll get around to those someday.

Behind Fatal Tragedy, I would put Pull Me Under as my second favorite DT song.

Need to listen to that now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mipc-JxrhRk Wow - this is a great video - hadn't seen it before.

It's not possible in Germany to watch this video. It has to with the GEMA. But I know the song an the album, it's also great. Saw them last February in Vienna. Great as every time. They know how to play an instrument and I love the voice from James LaBrie.

Anathema – Sunset Of The Age

This was one from a little bit darker time.

[Stained Class]

Regarding Dream Theater:

I appreciate them for the incredible influence they've had on the prog genre, I mean it's hard to call yourself a prog band without being Dream Theater worship, but yeah as you guys mentioned sometimes I wish they would just give it a rest. That, plus I really don't think James Labrie was a good fit for the band. His voice isn't powerful enough to keep up with the energy that the rest of the band is putting out. If they toned down the wankery and got a good singer like a Dio or a Dickinson or something, they would probably be the best band, no hyperbole.

That was probably ever the discussion if the voice is good or not. I like his voice very well.

Well yeah it's all subjective, I just never really felt like he was on par with the rest of the band. His voice actually fits very well in all the work he did with Arjen, which isn't as heavy as dream theater. Even his solo stuff worked out. But yeah, the 2 reasons I mentioned above are why I'd pick Symphony X over Dream Theater any day. I still love DT though and consider them a huge influence in my writing/playing.

I have such class with how I describe things.

I can definitely see why some people really like them and thats cool, I just cant take it anymore I paid out of the ass to see Opeth and Dream Theater 5 or so years ago because they played at a symphony hall here. As expected with the Opeth of Old, they killed it. I got bored three songs into Dream Theater's set and left early. The only album of theirs I can listen to all the way through now a days is When Dream and Day Unite. I dont mind LaBrie but I ive always liked Charlie Dominici better for DT. Album has less wankery and somewhat normal song lengths

I remembered that I used that one in reference to Geddy Lee on the Black Metal thread of all things - thank goodness for the search box.

I kinda wish I knew how many times I've listened to 2112 since it came out. I would not even venture to guess at this point.

On the train to work this morning, listened to another favorite....

Haha. I quite like them, especially Bizzy Bone. I have that album too. I often sing/rap 1st of tha month and some other tracks to myself

[Captain Metal]

The new one from The Faceless, which is titled Autotheism. The track presently playing is Accelerated Evolution.

All I can say is that these guys have been listening to a lot of Devin Townsend, because I can hear it all over this album, between the technical death metal barrages
