I just noticed you're from Aussieland... Holy crap there are lots of Aussies on this forum. I bet Sym X might actually make some cash if they toured there a bit.

Yup, if only they would come. On the G3 tour, Petrucci and Portnoy mentioned they'd probably bring Dream Theater to Oz in support of the new album, there's an awful lot of people hoping Symphony X will do the same. Maybe we should make a thread for all the Aussies to post in like a petition to show the guys how many of us there are... Although I hope they don't miss out Adelaide, cos I don't know anyone else from down here who likes 'em... shame really...
We've had lots of "ZOMG COME TO ASUTRALIA!!!" threads so far, I just take it as a sign that there are lots of SX fans down under.

Oh, I haven't been on here that long, so I guess I can be excused for my ignorance when posting another... haha, seriously though, this forum is a Godsend, it's so cool to be able to talk to other fans of the same music from all over the world!

I am now learning Dimmu Borgir's "Progenies of the Great Apacalypse" on drums and keys. Amazing song

Overture 1928 is coming on well in case you actually care. I can now play all the start up to speed, finally the big run and the cool 3/4 /5/4 riff... up to speed... anyway, just working on a little bit at a time... It'll get there.

Yeah, it's coming along. It's the first proper song I've really worked on, and I haven't had heaps of time, but it's progressing at a reasonable rate... It's probably one of Dream Theater's 'easier' songs, but it still has it's challenges. I had to really focus to get that first big run accurately out of that first syncopated bit, but with the help of a metronome it's pretty much there... I think I need to grow bigger hands... 
Some of the stuff is a bit of a reach, especially up to speed... Anyways, I'll let ya know when I've nailed it...

Sweet. Are you using the guitar pro tab for this song? I can't find a really good powertab for it.
Yeah, I use guitar pro all the time.

What the hell happened to learning shit by ear...spending 3 weeks trying to work out what the notes are in some fast run by Yngwie or Marty Friedman. This younger generation is soft.
