ZZ Top kicks ass.
Anyway, I have a question related to guitars.

What are the deal with these? I might get some when I get my RGA. Do you have to drill anywhere to install them?

In my opinion they are worth it for sure. You might have to do some drilling if the holes from the stock tuners are too small and you may need new mounting screws, but I don't think (someone correct me if I am wrong because I am not 100% on that) there is anything more than that and it is nothing that will be noticeable once the new ones are installed. It's definately something you should have done by a professional if you aren't completely sure what you are doing.

Not really learning stuff but just doing random fast stuff on the bass, to get better, and trying to get to 4 finger picking. I wish I would have more time to learn stuff, busy in college lately.

Currently working on "Sacrificed Sons" (on the bass), which actually is surprisingly easy when you remind yourself that it's freakin' Dream Theater you're playing right there.

I've been working on The Glass Prison lately. I already knew most of it (including the arps), but memorizing it and being able to play all the parts in succession is the hardest part.

^ Good luck with that mate! I'm currently working on the arpeggios as well, I'm finding 'em pretty tough though...

Now that we are on the subject of arps, I only know 3 kinds of arp sweeps, major, minor, and the one where you roll your ring finger. Are there anymore?
short answer: yes
slighty longer answer: look into frank gambale's instructional material

I mostly do Major 7, Minor 7 and diminished 2 octave, 5 string arps which I tap the highest note... They're relatively straight foward, but look impressive...

Diminished sound great! Especially harmonized all in minor third intervals... It sounds really cool!

I'd rather stick to a minimal amount of music theory, it would become an obstacle to my creativity if I limited my writing to precise scales.

The better you know all the rules, the better you know how to break them...
Brilliant chromatic players like Petrucci, MacAlpine, Jarzombek, Eklundh, Broderick etc. would have a enormous knowledge of scales etc. but that doesn't mean they have to follow them precisely... It just means they have more to work with...
But each to their own as they say...
