Recently I've been learning this song on my guitar. I learnt up to the solo without too much hastle, decided to look at the solo tabs.. I can never look my guitar in the eyes again.
Does someone have a video explaining how to play this and chart it out on drums? I'm a drummer, and I want to play this, but it's hard for me to play something so complex when I don't have a chart in front of me
You see all the comments that say how amazing and godly Dream theater is then go to a skrillex vid and see all the comments saying how "good" there music is even though all skrillex is is bass and noises so "skrillex" has no talent with music just making fax machines break
No, Skrillex makes some good music. He just makes much better Electro and Trance than he does Dubstep. Dream Theater is dominate all around though. I'd pick DT over Skrill any day. :3
@Uberado Ya dude i had a bad day but i dont entierly agree on skrillex and I dont like it its something i would listen to in backround music not on a daily basis but i dont HATE him some are good though id prefer like Rush or Pink Floyd over it.
@sleepingemokid You don't need to correct yourself. It must take balls to say this song is not Metallica influenced. It's like saying there's no Pink Floyd influence on Scarified Sons or no Muse influence on Panic Attack... The nerve of some people.
@GuitarAndWow Wow, are you fucking kidding me? There is no possible way this song was not influenced by Metallica. If you think Dream Theater just happened to write this song without listening to... I don't know... Holier Than Thou by Metallica you must be dreaming. You've never listened to Metallica outside of Enter Sandman have you? The versus of this song can be looked at as a textbook example of Metallica influence in metal. Rhythmically, melodically and vocally.... It's not even subtle.
@GuitarAndWow Ok. It just annoys me when people praise a band while dissing their influences. This band is great but they wouldn't exist without the metal and prog rock that came before it.
@MrFlopz I know metallica is one of the best bands EVA but i personally like DT...I agree with u and btw u should watch John Petrucci psycho excercises thats where i got that consider urself warned noob..(i was trying to be funny :)
@redsfan293 yes, he does but no in this song, if u want to listen a 7 string song look for "The Dark Eternal Night", "A Nightmare To Remember" or "The Glass Prison".
@wtfblaze in "A Nightmare To Remember" he uses a 6 string tuned down to C Some of the 7 string guitar songs : 1)The Mirror (Awake) 2)The Lie (Awake) 3)Caught In A Web (Awake) 4)A Change Of Seasons (A Change Of Seasons) 5)New MIllenium (Falling Into Infinity) 6)Lines In The Sand (Falling Into Infinity) 7)Just Let Me Breathe (Falling Into Infinity) 8)The Dance Of Eternity (Metropolis Pt.2 Scenes From A Memory) 9)The Glass Prison (Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence) PART 1
@redsfan293 I think that in the recording sessions he mostly used a 6-string, occasionally a baritone guitar tuned to B to get a 7-string-ish sound. He does play a 7-string live, though.
And, come to think of it, while recording The Dark Eternal Night.
@redsfan293 Keep in mind that amps play a major role in a guitarist's tone. John Petrucci uses Mesa/Boogies Mark amps. In this album I believe he used a Mark IV.
i actually hate the voice of labrie... but i guess his agressive vocs are at least close to awesome. plus pertucci plays awesome but at the same time unusually modest
Any other Dream Theater songs that are as this good, preferably the ones with epic solos in it. I have listened to this song quite a while ago, but never really care to listen to their other songs.
@ShaNz194 i suggest sampling stuff from every time period - youll find they have done a wide variety of styles and most of it is all good. unless your just into "thrash metal" or whatever you may call it....then stick with the new stuff, 2000-on
@c9castine nah... I'm into Power Metal mostly... Dream Theater's awesome, but they have like 13 albums! I haven't even got time to listen to all of my favourite band's album yet.
more skilled matalica = Dream Theater
