They're not a "copy' of Dream Theater, or a "biters", whatever you're calling Bad Salad; They're innovators in the genre, they might sound like them, but they are NOT Dream Theater. Look, every generation of musicians is influenced by the last, and you're critiquing them for their present innovation and sound. I firmly believe that there are strong roots and ties, a deep love for the sound, but each generation WILL surpass it's predecessors and Bad Salad has got the chops NOW. You guys rock!
People that keeps shouting "exactly like DT", do you seriously, i mean seriously think that DT is 100% completely original? That they were not inspired by anything? Listen to kansas for starters, and then everything that the band lists under their influenses and idols on their website, after that->go fuck yourself and get a job
Friendly advise: change your band name into something that more appealing to audience, e.g. GOODMEAL, NICEDESSERT, FABULOUS MAINCOURSE, DELICIOUSSIDES, etc
hey, i discoverd u cos u wer doin covers of my fav band, which means tht me nd evry1 else who listened 2 this was thinkin, can it match up 2 dt... wrong question, i shud be askin, can dt match up 2 u :P imo from wat ive herd of this ever changin, epic, passionate piece, its right up there nd may be betr thn such greats as learning to live, queensryches sister mary nd fates warnings shades of grey :D ill be gettin all ur albums nd im proud tht there are such gud musicians in the world :)
@Joziaac u got a good point, but imo this band is playin a lot heavier than ADTOE DT, this is more portnoy DT, and seein as hes left nd they havnt got him pullin thm in all the heavier directions their sounds guna be a bit difrent now, so while BadS is strongly influenced by DT, i mean that alarm ringin at 4:05 is straight outta a change of seasons :P but its gud, cos the way i c it, we hav a new classic DT, wiv a breath of fresh air in their sound, then bad salads pickin up where BCASL left off
This is fucking great!!!.. I mean.. I dislike the idea where I saw this band covering DT... I always gonna see these guys.. like the group that covered DT..
Cannot wait for the album to be out!! You guys really one of the best up and coming progressive metal bands I've seen in a while. Also, Felipe, love that you are playing on a EB MM Bongo bass! I'm a bass player too and love the tone and you get from the EB MM Bongo bass, plus it looks pretty awesome!
Parabéns pelo trabalho aí pessoal, está incrível! A bateria soa muito parecida como a do MP na época do Images & Words, um riff melhor que o outro, espero que possa ver shows de vocês aqui em SP!
Some questions, Besides the fact that the song is a total killer!! A really new type of Progressive Metal.
1. Do you mic your Mesa amp or use impulses in your pc?
2. Which software do you use for recording? Would you prefer a mac or a windows for recording?
3. Are the drums programmed or micked?
I mean, the mix is soo unreal! You did all this? :O I get mad mixing. I get good guitar tones, good bass tones, and a really nice keyboard and drum sound. But when I mix them, it sounds really bad. :/
e ai Thiago blz?? bem primeiramente queria parabenizar vc pelo seu som...e foda...hehe bem com toda sua experiencia talves vc possa me ajudar...eu to com um TC eletronics dual engine (reverb e delay) mas nao to conseguindo usa-los com o MesaBoogie..vc sabe alguma forma diferente de eu selecionar meus canais 2 e 3 do mesa...e sair um delay decente...ta meio estourado quando ligo de forma normal...Guitarra delay delay amp..valeu abraços...
Yes, is is similar to DT, but I don't see anything wrong about it, they are DT fans, so do I, it is clearly one of their main influences. If ppl criticize the lack of originality they are wrong, it reminds DT a lot, but it is not a copy, it is original and time will give them their own unique personality. In the meantime, their music is really good. Keep it up!
@CavemanJesus4Life The album isn't out yet. Due to popular demand, we've made 2 demos available through iTunes, Amazon, and for streaming on our SignMeTo profile. You'll have to wait a few months for the full album however.
I was not too fond of the vocals on crowded sky, but DAMN! they are fantastic on this song, and I am very glad that Denis is a part of Bad Salad because he is a great singer. As for the rest of the musicians, it goes without saying that they are all masters at their respective instruments (especially Cesar).
@vieri031 Would you care to post a link to the original material? We would never, ever, steal somebody else's work. As ThiagoCamposOfficial put it in his video comment, the artwork is from artist Carlos Fides from artside dot com dot br. Cheers!
I got accepted into berklee as a prog rock drummer, it is my hope and dream that i find musicians like U guys there so i can do exactly what your doing and share some of the fun you guys are having having! I Love your stuff and I'm going to be a fan for a long time, as i am of dreamtheater and portnoy. Please let me know where i can buy your album when its ready...
Siempre comentaba encontraba k aplicaban demasiado su lado DT(jjejeje a veces no se puede evitar :P) Pero ahora... con esto... ya puedo decir... Ustedes tiene un sonido aparte, algo diferente :D ME gusta gusta gusta :D Sigan asi :D y no se si lo tenia k decir en ingles, de todos modos Great Sound, a like it!!! :D:D:D
You guys are all fantastic musicians and I respect you all very much. I cannot wait for your album to come out! I know that you will get signed very soon, you guys are so damn good! Best of luck to you all. \m/
@raiotinfamigold The drums are arranged. This is just a demo track why will they bother to record real drums for it when they can make it sound as close to the real things as possible by softwares. The drums in the album track will sound far more better i bet.
Sounds amazingly great. You guys should just do that thing where you put your songs up on itunes for people to buy it. You pay like 5 bucks for an account and all song revenue goes to you. I would buy the shit out of your songs.
I dont like it. For me its boring.
