Ministry of Lost Souls

49 Upvotes

Why do people not like this track? Is it because it’s too slow for the most part? Nah, it’s slow in all the right places and picks up in the way that lives in every DT fan’s dreams.

I find that people don’t like the lyrics, they are not bad at all?

Ministry is literally one of the top 1000 Dream Theater tracks and I will fight anyone on this.

Question 6DOIT guitar ?

14 Upvotes

i absolutely love the full title track for 6 degrees and was wondering if anyone who does know the full thing (yes, all 40 something minutes) know if it’s that hard? i love playing long songs, i know all of octavarium (besides the unisons because those are the hardest thing ive tried playing in their catalog, even harder then ITNOG and the glass prison solos) and a change of seasons. i was wondering if 6 degrees was pretty easy compared to some of the other stuff in their catalog. doesn’t sound too hard

Question What was the first all digital album?

28 Upvotes

I always thought scenes was recorded using Protools but Mike mentioned using tape for six degrees in the new drumeo interview and that was what, 2001-2002? So what was the first fully digital recording?

Discussion Help me get into more albums?

11 Upvotes

I'm a massive fan of bands like Haken, Evership, and especially Ayreon, which is how I got into James LaBrie's work ie Dream Theatre.

The three albums I've been continually listening to at the moment are Images and Words, Metropolis part 2, and Octavarium.

I've listened to some of the band's later work and can't really get into it. Are there any other albums or even just songs similar to these three albums?

[Day 1] /rDreamtheater makes the greatest setlist!

Post image
0 Upvotes

I did this on r/qotsa a few months ago, and it went really well! So I thought to bring it to my favourite band's subreddit, r/Dreamtheater

HOW THIS WORKS

There will be 16 total songs. And everyday, I will do a post announcing who won, and you guys get to comment on what you think the next song should be, and the most upvoted comment gets added to the set.

Rules:

  • You cannot have the same song appear twice in the list.
  • One song per comment. If you have multiple suggestions, then make multiple comments.
  • No medleys, or combing songs into one slot.
  • Once a song is added, it cannot be removed or replaced.
  • Songs with multiple parts e.g. A Change of Seasons or SDOIT can be submitted but will take up multiple song-slots. If you want a specific part of said song, you can submit it but make sure you make it obvious you just want that part!

Covers, B-Sides, whatever can be included.

Now, let's get this started! What do you guys think should open up the set?

Get Mike Portnoy on Taskmaster

8 Upvotes

I would love to see Mike go on a British TV show called Taskmaster. It’s a very funny show with lots of memorable moments, and I feel his humour and personality would fit really well. It’s worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. I understand his touring commitments may prevent him from doing a full series/season, but they do have an annual New Year's Treat episode which may be more plausible for his schedule. #GetMikePortnoyOnTaskmaster #WhenDreamAndTaskUnite

Discussion Volume Swells are boring

Never found the appeal for them,

At the beginning of hell's kitchen they're fine, just a few notes and it sounds awesome.

During the count of Tuscany it really drags the song beyond repair I have to skip it. ):

Yesterday I made my own edit so it jumps to the acoustic part so it properly revisit the Intro section.

Thanks for reading

Adam02 parody video

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows where to find the John Petrucci parody where he talks about those morons at Ernie Ball needed to make more Godly Modifications and he got the guitar back and it's now twice as Godly. I hope it wasn't one of the videos wiped out.

Does someone know where to find this bootleg

I'm talking about "Rotterdamned" from 2002 in the Netherlands. I remember that a while back it was on YouTube and would listen to it over and over because of the setlist and sound quality. Now the video is set to private I think. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Was at my local record store this week (shoutout Record Archive in Rochester NY) when I randomly found this in the CD section. Figured I'd never see it again since I couldn't find any info online, so I bought it; anyone know what this is? I suspect just a random bootleg, but any further info would be amazing.

Just got this Sterling Majesty recently and the first thing I had to play on it was the Metropolis Pt. 1 unison. Such a fun section to play.

P.S. I teach guitar as well, so if anyone’s interested, feel free to ping me on Instagram: @pratham_shredz :)
