At least you can hear the bassline now

He didn't re-record the guitar parts.. Unless you are just saying you like his newer sound. Which I agree. He's had 15 years to fine tune it...

And yea, Myung is a badass. It's nice that they turned that up... it gives it balls

Interesting, must be the shitty quicktime cause it sounds way darker. And his older tone is the Mark IIC+.. his newer tone is great too (Mark IV) but I prefer the tone on the older records. Has a much brighter / in your face tone. They're both awesome though..

Yeah Myung is a badass!

I was at that Chicago show where they covered all of Master of Puppets.. it's the recorded version video/audio that floats around the web.. it was awesome.

you got to see the MOP show? I have the vids and cd.

Yep! It's at the Vic Theatre in Chicago

Got to meet them after the show too, awesome.

Dream Theater are overrated, anyone that listens to good metal would notice that... I can name another 5 progressive metal bands that do a better "musical" job... Although DT are great if you like technical masturbation

/flamesuit

name them?

musicality is subjective. and yea, there are many many bands that are as melodic as DT. But chances are DT could play their music but not the other way around.

Their technicality is pretty much unmatched and it has influenced many many musicians to be better musicians.

I'd like to see which bands these are too.
$10 says one of them is Tool.

Tool + DT aren't even comparable. As far as other bands who could be 'better' than DT, the first one that comes to mind is BTBAM. Also Zao based on straight musicianship.

I dunno... this stream is thoroughly unimpressive. I'd even go so far as to say the musicianship is average at best in most of the songs. I have to agree with ShadowOfMyself, I've never really listened to much DT, but they are overrated. As a musician, I am wondering if the 'unmatched technicality' is just not in any of these songs. I mean even Mudvayne is more musically technical than these songs, and they have a very weak guitarist.

I rate this music as meh at best. :thumbsideways;

i meant that a derogatory statement about Tool. The people on this forum think they are the greatest band ever.

Oh, no I agree that Tool is one of the best metal bands ever. Maynard is a fucking genious. Granted their licks were pretty simple up until the last few albums, but still amazing music. 10,000 days is a masterpiece of insanity.

10,000 days is a masterpiece of christianity. As maynard would say "its always sour grapes with you boy until you get right with Jesus"

look up the instrumedly. 99% of musicians would shoot themselves in the face before committing to learning that craziness.

and yea, BTBAM are catching up. But they are also DT babies and wouldn't be what they are if it wasnt for DT. That's why they are touring with DT right now. 2 peas in a pod....

I love BTBAM's musicality and technical prowess, but I absolutely cannot stand the screaming. It ruins them for me. As a whole, I prefer DT as a musical group.

I wish BTBAM would release their songs in instrumental form (minus the vocal track). I know Protest the Hero does this (and I love their music too, but hate the vocals) too, but I haven't been able to find just the instrumental track yet.

petrucci = ownage, i mean, just watch a video of him playing universal mind from LTE and you know, like, DT just owns even if he was the only member.
