BTW how are McLaughlin's collaborations with U. Srinivas (whom I like a lot)?

While there are definite moments of cheeze, there are some parts that were better than expected. The keyboard player doing all that wack Danny Elfman knicked stuff and the prissy vocalist bring the whole thing really down. All they need is Jon Lord and Ronnie James Dio and this could be a OK band.
Shakti is freaking insane, especially those high speed unison lines they get going.
A few weeks back, I picked up RTF's Romantic Warrior out of a used bin. I never had that one and boy there some cheeze on that one, especially on the second side. I don't know if it is because of punk rock or whatever, but it definitely seems true that all of those fusion bands lost it after 74-75 (excepting some of the ECM stuff, which really isn't that much like the rawk fusion made by all of those guys that played in Miles band but still gets labeled as 'fusion').

― M@tt He1ges0n, Sunday, 22 July 2007 18:16 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah it is. Only the modified bass stick can handle Tony Levin's breathtaking virtuosity.

I'm assuming there's a giant gong where the photographer is standing, but until I see it, Portnoy gets no respect from me.

While, uh, 'researching' Dream Theater on wikipedia, I've discovered that half the band is married to half the chick-metal band Meanstreak. That strikes me as even more fucked up than the drumsets.
― Oilyrags, Sunday, 22 July 2007 18:57 (sixteen years ago) link
It is not clear to me whether all three couples were married at once, or if it's like some six-way open marriage or what.
― Oilyrags, Sunday, 22 July 2007 18:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Maybe they were just annoyed with their husbands making love to their instruments rather than to them and decided to get even.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 22 July 2007 19:31 (sixteen years ago) link
There are many musicians whose styles may be legitimately compared to making love to their instruments. I'm reasonable certain that no member of Dream Theater fits this category.
― Oilyrags, Sunday, 22 July 2007 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link
they fingerbang their instruments
― M@tt He1ges0n, Sunday, 22 July 2007 19:51 (sixteen years ago) link
There are many ways to make love, oilyrags.

Sounds like having "tons of fans who say things like 'you are the greatest guitar player of all time, man!' on a daily basis" is a sound recipe for mental health!

xp that doesn’t surprise me! I still tbey they must be completely messed up. There’s no way you play a 19-string bass and then do yard work
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 8 June 2022 15:55 (one year ago) link
Somehow I always forget that portnoy left dream theater in 2010. Also somehow I missed that portnoy was with avenged sevenfold for a minute?

Look let's just be thankful that the surviving members of Rush haven't formed a supergroup with the guy

Portnoy is so insanely busy, amazing this guy has time to sleep, considering how many long ass songs he plays on. I mean, just in the last five years he has recorded albums with:
Liquid Tension ExperimentTransatlanticNeal Morse soloNeal Morse Band (x2)Flying ColorsJohn Petrucci soloSons of Apollo
not to mention associated touring with all of these acts

I think he is just always in a room playing a solo, and every once in a while somebody walks into the room and presses record for 8 minutes.
