Tell John Petrucci that ZH thinks he is one of the best guitar player ever.!!!

My mental image of the OP is of a 15 year old little girl, so this fucks with my perspective completely.

I saw a skinny negro with a fat white chick and a negret (female negro) with a sort of chunky bald white dude with a beard.

I was pleasantly surprised, every single band was excellent, even Three who I thought was going to blow donkey balls, they rocked too.  I should also mention that the sound was spectacular throughout the night, every band had good sound.

Three - played for 30 min, had an awesome singer who played guitar with his fingers (no pick) and a lead guitarist who wore a uniform like the captains in bleach (seriously, maybe that's why they kept him off to the side).  I wouldn't pick up their album but live they're good.

Between the Buried and Me - played 30 min set  :maf  I was really disappointed because I was hoping for at least 45 min for these guys but alas, only 30 min.  They were tight and Paul Wagner's (lead guitarist) sweep picking was suuuuuppppeerrrr smooth. 

Opeth - The niggiez done did rock the house, superb!  They were funny and played awesome music, they played for about an hour and are coming back in September I think.  If they do I'll def go check them out and before then I need to pick up some of their albums.  (My favorite of the night)

Dream Theater - Zero Hero, Petrucci is THE MAN!  I watched his fretwork the entire night, he was pulling off sweep arpeggios so fast my dick got hard.  So everyone knows that DT is comprised of some of the best musicians on the planet and they rock super super hard.  K, the only reason they weren't my favorite of the night is because they'd have these like, 5 min musical breaks where they'd just play a simple rhythm over and over again with no solos.  Now they were the last band so you can't be doing this crap, at times I was bored waiting for them to kick start again or start a new song, not alright.  Other than that of course they played spectacularly and I would see them again, but I'd make sure that there were chairs in the venue.  This is my second time seeing DT and my first time for everyone else.

They are all Berkley grads I believe. I think they formed at Berkley.

^  You're prob right, I'm not really familiar with their beginnings but I do know that the guy who owns the music store near me has known the keyboardist personally for many many years.  :rock

I remember many years ago seeing the Pull Me Under video on Headbangers Ball and have been in love ever since. I'm glad you enjoyed the show. I wish I was there.

You should check Dream Theater's myspace, they might be coming to a town near you soon.  :rock

I'm too old for big shows. I hate being around a shitload of people anymore. Mostly because there are too many douchebags that have no respect for anyone. The last concert I was at was Phish back in the mid 90's. That is where the term 'Unwashed Masses' was born from.

I saw them in February when they were in Australia for the first time, and I had an erection for three straight hours.

:bow DT :bow2

Thanks for the updates.  :)

I saw this when it came to Seattle a few weeks ago.  We got there when Opeth came on, and then left a couple songs into Dream Theater because they fucking suck.  Opeth is far greater than they are.

I've seen Dream Theater a couple too many times because of my friends. That's why I didn't go to this concert. They're alright (and obviously ridiculously talented technically), but my friends are just obsessed with them. I haven't listened to them in a long time.

Dream Theater are ridiculously technically talented but sometimes it does get boring, so I guess drozmight is justified, Opeth rocked all the way through.

Dream Theater are great and I imagine you enjoy them more if you know their songs inside out.  But even then, there are particular songs or parts where your attention wanders.  They've acknowledged this at various times - they know they have certain songs where they notice the audience just drifts off, and other songs where the audience gets into it.

Overall, they work their asses off to deliver long seasons of great live shows so I respect them for that regardless.
