    cover song for new cd???

    so i was thinking today, it'd be cool if the guys did a kickass cover song for the new cd. now we all know sabbath/priest/maiden/zepplin/ac-dc etc. have been covered to death. here are some i'd like to see them take, put their own spin on it, and still retain the original artists concept. 1...

    Hey "HemiGTX"!!!

    am i to assume you are a Mopar fan??? If so, you are indeed very cool. I have a 1968 Dart GTS (340), and my Dad has a 1969 Dart Swinger (340) as well as a 1970 SuperBee (383). What about you? A Hemi GTX???

    E-force???

    when i stopped by Sam Goody to pick up Dream Theaters new disc, I happened across E-FORCE, Eric from Voivoids new project. A sticker on the cd said THRASH...a hardware review at Bravewords said DEATH...which is it??? Can any of you recommend it? If it's thrash and it's heavy, I WANT IT!

    for any of you DT fans out there like myself, I HIGHLY recommend this new one "Train of Thought". It is quite possibly DTs heaviest offering, and much darker and aggressive than previous cds. You'll be hard pressed to find another band to match the incredible songwriting/playing talents of...

    THIS IS HELL!!! wow...

    my apologies if this has already been discussed but....this cd CRUSHES!!! It kills everything in it's path, shrieking and growling and shredding steel all the while. The songs are more artfully arranged, the overall vibe is even more aggressive...infreakincredible. I was figuring this one...
