One question......I got a Dream Theater tape here the other day. It's called Solitary Shell (like the song on the new album), and has quite a few live covers, and I think a few recorded (I've only listened to it once so far). They cover Metallica, U2, The Beatles, Elton John and others. Now is this some sort of Indonesian thing, where a bootleg has been given a nice cover, or what? Ever heard of it?
Also picked up stuff by Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Cacophony, Geezer and SOAD (SOAD bought entirely on recommendations by people on this board!). Not bad!
