HellMark

Love Dream Theater and I thought there were some on here who do as well. I encourage you to check out this demo Jordan Rudess did. Incredible stuff.

This is fantastic for sure! Loved it, thanks a lot for sharing.

That's cool. I am a big DT fan (although I haven't listened to much recently for some reason, hopefully their new album will rectify that), and of course a big Liquid Tension Experiment fan too.

Cool to see Rudess showing off his chops here, that man knows what he's doing.
The string sound was very impressive, it was like he had half an orchestra at his fingertips - great control of volume too. Neat effects demonstrated by a master.

really cool stuff. I loved how close the classical guitar sounded

I want some Ronald Jenkees now!!

wow do I want that choir sound, pretty impressive. No doubt Rudess is some kind of robot, like the rest of the band.

I'm always back and forth with dream theater, even though I really enjoyed James LaBrie's work with Ayreon it always feels like he ruins the songs in Dream Theater. Likewise I usually really enjoy the music in their songs, though I often feel the virtuosity that makes them cool lets them down by getting a bit robotic feeling.

Love DT.
I had a chance to go to NAMM with a friend but I was busy with other stuff

Do you play anything HellMark? I'm just over the hill

Played guitar when I was younger. Was learning to play Master of Puppets on one when I was 14. Now I play it in a videogame. LOL.

DT is insane live. Can't recommend it enough. I've seen them twice.

MoP

Seconded, they truly are insanely awesome live.
Last time I saw them, they not only played stuff from every single album, but they also played nearly all of Octavarium and then finished off by performing a perfect rendition of Pink Floyd's entire Dark Side Of The Moon album. Mad.

I was usualy liking Dream Theater a lot, some very good influences of Dream Theater came from Toto, Rush and bands like that. A good keyboardist in comparison (for me the best) is Greg Phillinganes.
