DT's new album "Systematic Chaos" is OK...

[73h Nils]

I've listened to the album 12 times through since Tuesday and I absolutely love it! "SO ENAGEE, POWAH!"

Are you going to stockpile pictures of it first?

I've got 4!

I'll post more pics after I get the CD/DVD

Does anybody know what the relevance of the ear in the lemonade is? (on the back of the booklet next to the watermelon).

LOL! Foggy, you're hysterical!

If you're not careful, JP's 1337 sweeps in Constant Motion will rip your ears off...and you better not be drinking lemonade while that happens....

Perhaps they are comparing themselves to Van Gogh or Chopper Read.....to quote a Brian May tune....if licks could kill then we'd all be dead!

When I first started in radio I had the daunting task of ringing chopper to set up an interview. Even though he was 2 states away I was a little apprehensive, but he was quite a funny guy. Since then I've found him to very easy to deal with, even though he murdered how many people?

I don't know how many, I think it was somewhere around a dozen or so, I have read a couple of his books....very entertaining (I hope I don't go to hell for saying that)

Maybe I should see if he's interested in selling EBMM guitars for me?

Haha that'd be awesome! ....we better stop hijacking this thread!

What a great album, Pet's playing is phenomenal. I did notice in the credits that Satch and Vai appear, what tracks were they on?

 

[MusicManJP6]

I like it about as much as the other albums they have come out with. Some of the riffs are AWESOME! I like the production value of this one. Older albums have been too dark. Petrucci's licks are outstanding as usual AND he plays a Mark IV which I will be playing in about 2 days when it arrives via UPS... STELLAR sound! Forsaken is one of my faves for sure...

They contributed spoken-word parts to Repentance.

Is it just me or does "Constant Motion" sound a lot like some older Metallica tunes for a while? *dodges all the flying fruit being flung my way*

Yes. Yes it does... Hammet could never play that solo, though...
