@EdgarMalmsteen LaBries dancing reaching epic proportions during To Live Forever (Johns first solo between verses). James jumps and spins around. Now known as the Court Jester dance.
@killinintheplace James: 'I've had a word with the rest of the band and well... you've been playing that solo for three weeks now. I think it's time you stop'
John: 'I can stop any time I want, I just don't want to'
@killinintheplace he told to petrucci enough because so much people was dying in the solo, then petrucci stops because he wanted people alive for the ending
i wonder if petrucci and muyng stage presence back then were cause of drugs or something... cause now, watch a DT dvd and watch them live is the same thing... both of them barely move.
i wonder what it feels like to be in dream theater. knowing every single one in their team is one of the best in their areas. bass, guitar drum vocal keyboard.. taking part in a team that's flawless. in a team that can make music like that. I just wonder what it feels like. just imagining that feeling gives me goosebumps.
john's face at 1:35 reminded me of when I saw a horse cumming, it was a traumatic experience for me, back then, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, now I can't believe what I'm hearing
0:28, does anyone know how to play that riff? its kind of tough to get by ear, and i have something kinda rough but does anyone know it for sure? i'd be very grateful if you could give me a hand.
I like the old dream theater albums a lot... I think Awake is my favorite album from DT just for sheer creativity... but I also love the newer stuff like Train Of Thought...
The ONLY album I can't stand is octavarium... hate it. Everything else is pretty fucking good, even systematic and black clouds are pretty fresh.
At 2:20 he carefully picks out the worst fan that he can spot. Look him straight in the eye, and then executes him by popping of his head. Believe me... Ive seen it, and it isnt pretty XD
Holy balls...That had to be one of the most bad ass solos I've ever seen.I don't understand how you can say they suck I mean send me a video link of you doing better.
This song was recorded on one of DT's tours to France. It's on "Once In A Livetime." The solo isn't identical to this one, but still it's out of control awesome.
I think this is only the way the solo would keep on also in the album version. Anyway it's an amazing solo but maybe the album track could not continue for so long.
2:30...stop now...everybody knows that you are god!!
