Subject: ACOS guitar tab (first 1:20)
some of you must not have gotten this the first time around, i am working
on more of this, so be patient....
=========================================================================
Well here is the first part of the ACOS tab i promised a long
time ago. Each dash represents one 32nd note. I know some of
the time sigs, rhythms, notes etc are probably wrong, but i am
doing this from my head at work, so bear with it. Some of it
is a wild ass guess, when i was trying to figure it out, and has
become the way i play it, most of it at least fits, anyway. i
will try to post more later this week...have fun!!!

Subject: Re: AOL's opinions on DT
Well, other than the fact that Geddy Lee is a better bassist than John
Myung, and that Neil Peart is easily a better drummer than Portnoy (one
solo will confirm it for you) I think I agree with the AOL folks that the
respoective members of Dream Theater are at the top of their instruments.
La Brie's voice is right up there. I put it just above Lee and Geoff
Tate. Moore has no peer on the keys. And Petrucci is really scaring Steve
Vai and Joe Satriani these days...
As much as I admire Portnoy as a drummer... listening to ONE of Neil
Peart's solos from any time after 1976 or so, Portnoy's begins to seem
uninspired and bland. And I think Portnoy's solo is great! It's just that
Neil Peart's THAT GOOD. His solos have musical quality. The one he did
for this year's tour is simply the best drum work ever put to tape. Neil
even did a 15-minute drum solo called "The Pieces of Eight" a few years
back for Modern Drummer, and it's the most musical drumming, and
skillful, that I've heard in any format.
I encourage anyone who likes DT a lot to, if they have not already...
listen to a good dose of Rush. Dream Theater is such a great band IMHO
because they pick up the "other possible tangent" of Rush from about
1980. Rush had a choice to follow one of two musical paths; one of tight,
concise music trying to express a lot with a little, and the one they had
been doing before, of expressing things as carefully as possible even at
the expense of structure and style. DT took the second path. I think
songs such as Take the Time and Learning to Live are examples of where
proper song structure COULD HAVE been far better, for what they were
expressing. However it does not make those songs any less "real". They
are still genuine and full of musical power.
The similarities, finally, between DT and Rush blow my mind. Rush, also,
broke wide open on their second album, and it had eight songs, including
two particularly long thematic songs. The progression similarity between
the bands really impresses me...
Long live Rush and DT!!!

Likely or not, it's a dream that we keep, and at odds with our senses we'll
climb. But if faith is the answer, we've already reached it, and if spirit's
a sign, then it's only a matter of time... -Dream Theater

Just a few more of the AOL comments that I found somewhere else, then

Well, that's the most impresive stuff that I saw... looks like there
is a real following there also... I have made several posts trying to
recruit people to YTSEJAM...

Hey, FAQ guy:
The least you could do is give me credit, since you insist on using my "Dream Theater" graphic...
