    You've missed alot of time, it's time to catch up. Get their Live dvd - Live In Budokan. Fantastic concert, they are at the top of their field.

    Train of Thought is a great album, it got alot of abuse from DT fans, as they thought it was a Nu-Metal album, but it's a full on Prog/metal album and it's kick ass.

    I'm currently learning to play stream of consciousness, and there are a couple of head scratching parts in there. Ah well it's better than learning the new 3 doors down song for my band, zzzzzz, how many times can they use the chord progression Bm, G, A.

    Hehe.

    Better yet...go see them when they come around. The Budokan DVD just went platinum in the US (100,000 copies sold is PLAt for DVDs)...Falling into Infinity usually gets panned as weak too....but there's a couple of good tracks on there too (Trial of Tears, Lines in the Sand, New Millenium, Hollow Years, Take AWay My pain....), plus I have the B Sides from that record that they never released there were a couple of dope ones there too.

    I stumbled on to them in the last year, and felt exactly the same way - where the h@ll have I been?!?

    While TOT is a great album, I would suggest both Scenes from a Memory, and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (disc 2) as their absolute best IMHO. If you could see yourself digging a true prog concept album, that at times might remind you of a musical score, albiet brilliantly, you might really love these two. Someone else might describe them better, but they become more brilliant the more you listen to 'em.

    They alternate in my cd player constantly, moreso than any other.

    Does anyone know if all the tunes or some of the tunes on Train of thought are in standard tuning or a alternate tuning????? A break down of each song would really be cool if anyone has that info. THX.

    The ones l know are.

    Endless sacrifice - full step down
    This dying soul - is on a 7 string (standard tuning)
    Stream Of Consciousness - Half a step down (6 string)

    Those are all l've tried to learn at the moment.

    Try www.powertabs.com l use it from time to time, it's pretty cool.

    Well I feel embarrassed but, here goes...back in the late 80's early 90's I dropped out of sight completely...stopped playing guitar, got married and I stopped listening to music (the Maiden break up had alot to do with it)...so I guess I missed the entire ride with Dream Theatre...until recently (I mean even before buying an EBMM and obviously knowing full well who JP was) when I kept hearing about this Petrucci fellow, and Dream Theatre...well too make along story short and with the help of the EBMM coomercial free radio, all I can say is that these guys RULE, and John SMOKES...I love his work with Rudess (or whatever sorry)...anyhoo I have alot of catching up to do...L8R!
