BLACK METAL ARHHHHGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[Metropolis Part 2]

the live at buddokan version was awesome (so was the original)


damn i just became a dt fanboy as of yeasterday.


SX is number two on my playlist right now.

Yea John Petrucci definitely has quite interesting of playing improvished solos. I think this song, Octavarium will be even better than The Odyssey.
oPPPS, did I just say that? :Spin:

idk, ITNOG strikes me as drawn out and as for the solo "sections".. playing as fast as you can in little whirls is hardly what i'd call a memorable or meaningful solo. if anything, when i heard that part, it made me burst out laughing at the sheer pretentiousness of it. in short, if this song is an "epic", it better be epic like ACOS and not laughable like ITNOG.

Yea, IN the Name of God was really really really repetitive like the entire Train of Thought album. Hah, maybe Dream Theater wanted to PROVE their Metallica influence ?

 

[Kenneth R.]

possibly. it was clear enough with As I Am. althuogh, Endless Sacrifice and Vacant stand out as quite amazing songs.

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

Well, I didn't really like Endless Sacrifice. The songs I really really loved are Vacant and This Dying Soul and of course the solo in SOC, just amazing, one amazing wankfest!

I LOVE Cold Stone!! But their mint ice cream sucks so whenever I go I have the mocha. Rose, have you tried the cheesecake flavor?

Yeah, but I'm not a big cheesecake fan in general.

You're right about the mint, though. EW. That's the only place I've ever had mint ice cream that I really thought tasted like toothpaste. That was nasty!

i got takeout from Coldstone and we had to use a wakizashi to cut it. that was metal \m/

Been there.

Well, I didn't really like Endless Sacrifice. The songs I really really loved are Vacant and This Dying Soul and of course the solo in SOC, just amazing, one amazing wankfest!

I agree with you, both on the likes and dislikes. Endless Sacrifice is one that I only liked parts of because I do think it got more out of hand than the rest of the album. And Vacant...well, I liked it well enough that I decided to attempt a rearrangement here, which you can actually find on the "Official Project/Band Promotion Thread". A rough draft, anyway...

Moonsorrow is good

 

[Kenneth R.]

how i'd describe my dislike for ITNOG goes something like this. the solos in it alone are done in a similar way to SX on Sea of Lies. however, SX does it slower and in a melodic manner that fits the song, wheras i think ITNOG is like wooo look how fast i am. damn am i fast. oh yeah, the song. that and what is in my opinion a pretty lame chorus/progression.

but of course, this is all subjective

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

Yes it is indeed, cause I actually like ToT better than The Odyssey !

"and I liked Octavarium better than all of them"


that would be me talking on June 7th

damn i cant wait till that album comes out

Moonsorrow is good

Moonsorrow is viking metal which is cool

but black metal is not


speaking of which, who here likes Finntroll?

 

[wayne the goblin/robot]

speaking of which how does everyone feel about viking and folk metal bands like finntroll and vintersorg

I like em

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

finntroll is interesting

 

[arglebargle]

Finntroll is great, mainly due to their brilliant keyboardist.

<3 Trollhorn

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

Finntroll is good, but their keyboardist isn't even close to as brilliant as a Michael Pinnella or a Jordan Rudess (yeaaaaa, Dt powahhh!)

its fvking folk metal for God sakes!!! not prog!!!

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

Well, not you man, the other d00doo

 

[Moloch]

This shit's still goin on?
Just because you doesn't like a style of music doesn't mean it sucks, or is bad.

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

True, I know. But however, the keyboardist might be good for Finntroll's style of music ( a weird mixture of Polka, Folk Metal and Black Metal), can not be considered great to any point of time.
