    Pain of Salvation - "12:5"

    Such a superb album. BE is just as good (if not better).

    POD Pro settings for Romeo's tone

    The Darkness - anyone heard these guys?

    And a little band called Porcupine Tree who I'm currently listening to. Anyway, I'm really digging The Darkness. I didn't like them at first but I find them so fun now it's cool. We're actually playing Friday Night at a gig pretty soon. Also, you've gotta love the subjects of some of the...

    I'm thinking of getting some new cd's, what are your thoughts on these?

    Stratovarius news

    I remember a statement from him about file sharing. The way he took things so personally (and directly insulted people) seemed very unproffesional and he has done the same thing again here. Direct insults in what seems like it's supposed to be a press statement sound childish and like they come...

    John Petrucci

    Interesting. Allthe people I know who are regulars at the after shows all say John is a really nice guy. I guess it depends on the situation and where you're meeting him or something.

    Interviewing the Band for you guys!!!!

    I'd just ask if they have any ideas for the next album. Stuff like will it be a concept album, what sort of themes will be running through the album, what sort of sound they're going for etc.

    Dream Theater - Train of Thought

    I think everyone would have a lot less time on their hands if they started bitching about every single negative comment about their favourite bands from other message boards :erk:

    An idea for the band's live show...

    I think covering Stonehenge (with full stage show) is the only way to go for any prog band.

    the good ol' "introduction song" thread with a off-topic twist

    I'd go for either a pretty solid rocker like Fallen or Wicked or something like Communion and the Oracle.

    Favorite song on V?

    It was between CATO and Rediscovery for me (with Egypt close behind) but I had to go with CATO just for the power and beauty of Russell's performance!
