  1. Just skimmed through the whole thread, holy {censored} 2/3s of the posters are long gone
    :eek:
    Gerlock as electric slide
    :cop:

    MAn those flame war days were awesome
    :lol:



    I did, too, and man, it really was a different scene back then. I liked the general list of players better than today.

    Makes you wonder whatever happened to those folks. People like 666Dave666 :confused:

  2. I've got pairs of all the old Ibanez pickups in their original wired pickguard configurations:

     

    V8 & V7 & single

     

    V2 & V1 & single

     

    non-marked PAFs & single in original RG550s

     

     

    PM with offer if anyone wants any of these? Again, they come wired to the original pickguard, switch, knobs, etc.

    It's great news and all, but I have to wonder if it means we're getting George Bush on the 6 'O Clock news, in army drag again, holding up a playing card and touting "Mission Accomplished!"

    :rolleyes:

  5. Even at their poseur-y-est, Europe eclipsed Bon Jovi in both Hair obnoxiousness as well as in the overall "fag factor." Carrie is a way sappier ballad than any BJ tune.

     

    The other half being that John Norum could kick Ritchie's ass all the way down the street and back on guitar. That guy had some great chops and a mean Strat-in-Marshall tone.

    So just because you play in your bedroom doesn't mean you can't play the amp loud?
    :confused:
    I had my 5150 on 10 the other day. That isn't bedroom volume.

    I keep a 100wt and a 120wt amp in my bedroom at all times. But they are rarely, if ever, played at "bedroom level" volumes! :p

    A lot of people crap on about how such and such singer should replace Labrie 'n' whatnot, but IMO, a good singer would just go to waste in DT. The focus in that band isn't on the vocals, it's on tasteless masturbation. They don't need a good singer, they need someone to fill the gaps between solos.

    They lost a lot in the departure of Kevin Moore. He was the yin to Petrucci's non-stop guitar wanking yang. With Kevin gone, JP was free to take the band in the direction HE wanted it to go in, which imho was NOT for the better. :(

    As far as pro singers go, Labrie's never really been any good.


    He used to have a pretty big range, but his pitch was never that fantastic. In the studio he was usually pretty close to being spot on, but live he was pretty damn average, even back in the Awake days 'n' whatnot.


    These days he just plain sucks. His voice sounds weak, his range is nothing amazing, his pitch accuracy is non-existant, and 90% of the time while he's doing his whining, wailing {censored}, you can't understand a word he's saying.

    Man, was that review spot-on or what? I USED to be one of the biggest DT fans in the world. Hell, I caught around 70 shows on their I&W N. American tour!! I have live bootlegs gallore, and while LaBrie goes well to tape (nothing a little compression and pitch correction can't fix), he is horrible live. Besides major pitch problems, he gets this irritating screechy quality to his voice. I call it "The Owl Timbre"! :mad:

     

    I would say they should score a new singer, but overall, I've been so unimpressed with the band as a whole, I simply don't care anymore.
