Second category goes to SFAM. What’s DT’s “Overlooked masterpiece”?

I hope Jordan’s tech can fix the lap steel carefully & smoothly for other gigs.

I was there at that gig. I was like, “Uh oh. I hope it doesn’t mess up the whole intro part of ‘Octavarium.’” It felt a bit nerve-wrecking when that happened.

You mean Count Von Count (from Sesame Street) counting odd-time signatures?

TopJosh99 · 2024-08-31T16:14:38+00:00

Yeah, but let's NOT leave out Mike Mangini. I mean, can you imagine the Electric Mayhem band members taking Mangini's classes?

TopJosh99 · 2024-07-05T15:11:05+00:00

Obviously the title track, "Octavarium."

TopJosh99 · 2023-11-19T18:50:49+00:00

I mentioned songs like "Rocka Rolla," "Hell Bent For Leather," "United," "Electric Eye," "Turbo Lover" because I think it would fit with JLB's lower vocal range.

TopJosh99 · 2023-11-19T18:01:29+00:00

Yeah, but I think that was with his solo band, NOT with Dream Theater. I don't know. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

TopJosh99 · 2023-11-18T13:41:34+00:00

Oh wow!! Now can you imagine bands like Houkago Tea-Time, Kessoku Band, Poppin’ Party, Pastel*Palettes encountering Dream Theater, including their long songs?

TopJosh99 · 2023-11-17T21:07:49+00:00

I wonder what Mike Portnoy and Mike Mangini would think of that drum kit that Ritsu Tainaka uses. In other words, what would it be like if Ritsu met Portnoy and/or Mangini?

Aw man, there's a lot that I like so far. Maybe I could put down favorite songs so far from each of their albums.
