But they definitely work together in studio =P There's no way they can play some of the stuff that they do without sitting down and figuring out every measure before they even rehearse. Which is what I don't like so much about their music. It almost seems mechanical. I like the changes and how it's almost impossible to figure out a set pattern, but I'd rather there be no set pattern at all than a difficult one to find, if you know what I mean.

If I'm not mistaken, a lot of DT's music is written through jam sessions. I may be wrong, though.

I also thought that was the case.

I know it's the case with LTE, but maybe not with DT.

It may be that DT's music is produced through jam sessions, I'm not 100% sure. It just feels real mechanical to me, y'know? It's cool and I like it pretty well, but it's hard for me to believe that the time signature switches are worked out on the fly. Maybe the crazy time signature music is what they rehearse for a fantastic live show, and their CDs are more jam-like. I'm mostly thinking of a DVD a friend of mine showed me. I forget its name, but it was DT concerts.

What they play live is what you hear on the CD, for the most part. I've got several of their albums, and when I saw 'em live they were meticulous. There was more jamming, if anything. I will admit they are mechanical, but not stiff. I think meticulous is the better word. Very crisp, very intentional. I guess it takes away from the spontanaeity you might hear in some prog bands, but it still grooves in my book.

Ya I think I'll take meticulous over mechanical. That's a good identification of their musical tendencies.

Slightly scratchy audio aside, that was most certainly a rightious version of Canon.

Wow - CNN International is playing a story right now about the link I initially posted, they managed to track the guy down (a 22-year old South Korean grad) and interview him.

Weirdness.

I was pissed when I missed Nevermore at GiganTour. Still am, cuz I won't get the chance to see Nevermore very often. Wonder what Megadeth would've been like if they'd accepted him when he tried out.

Amazing playing I must say, but it's a tad clynical and sterile. (You shouldn't follow along to something like that and stay right with the classical sound.)

Plus if you listen carefully he's muting a few notes here and there. The important thing is his head is in the game for sure, talk about someone who has a good set of ears.


I've been playing for about 4 years now, I have 6 guitars, a fairly large all vaccume tube amp, and I'm still taking lessons.

Here's my main 2. The kramer is pretty much identical to van halen's 5150C kramer, since it's had a custom neck made for it by warmoth.
