It's real! Dream Theater have re-recorded Tenement Funster, Flick Of The Wrist and Lily Of The Valley.
The songs will be released on a bonus disc on their forthcoming album, which is called "Black Clouds & Silver Linings". The bonus disc will also include a cover version of "Stargazer" by Rainbow.

Yeah, I was reading wikipedia for news about their new album and on the page it said it would ship with a bonus disc of cover songs. Was really excited to see they would cover Queen and Rainbow... Don't care too much about Tenement Funster but it'll be cool to hear James LaBrie sing Flick Of The Wrist and Lily Of The Valley.

It's never cool to hear James LaBrie sing anything since the Images and Words album, but I'm interested to hear how Petrucci works these out.

The sample sounds horrible :(
I've expected more of these guys :(

To say these tracks are an 'interesting' choice, is an understatement. I give them credit for what they've chosen.
My favorite existing band covering my favorite all-time band. Not sure if it will work or not (Queensryche's cover of 'Innuendo' failed miserably due to Geoff Tate's failing voice and some ot the arraingements).
Then again, if they perform it at one of the show's we'll be attending, we'll no doubt enjoy.

Hi, *goodco*.
How are you doing?
Such great news! I fully agree with your post. I'd really love if you wrote more often on the website - all the posts written by you which I have read so far were just great. Take this, please, not as a request or demand, no!, but as a compliment. :-)))
Good to read you again and I hope I can get my hands on this one very, very soon! I have been receiving many wonderful tips by Queenzoners and whenever I go to the record store in the weekends I bring a little list along with the recommendations. The new one from Dream Theater for sure is going to feature in it!
I hope there may be many discussions here about the album later on!
Thanks, I wish the best to you and your family and take care!

Thanks for the compliments.
As GH wrote on the other thread recently, DT has already proven they can play a 10-15 minute track to perfection. They do over-indulge a bit (understatement), which leads me to having to cut or fade out tracks for my listening enjoyment ('Misunderstood', 'Repentence', and 'Ministry of Lost Souls' come to mind.......and I wish they would have provided an instrumental for 'The Great Debate'......the broadcasting parts are totally unlistenable)
Wish I could come across their DC show from last year as a bootleg. Pity they don't provide CDs at their shows, with the tracks played that night from live performances from previous shows. They do provide their Dark Side Of The Moon and Made in Tokyo and other boots..............but I've got them.
If anyone can provide me the location from which I could obtain some of their boots, I'd appreciate it.
I would also like to find live versions of 'Misunderstood', and the last two tracks from 'Six Degrees' (About To Crash reprise and Grand Finale). Live at Budokan had 'About to Crash' to 'Solitary Shell'.......in different parts, but I'd love the 'raw' final tracks other than the fantastic 'Score' versions.
And that 'Misunderstood' would have been included on the 'Chaos' dvd. The mood set by the lighting was terrific. A shame that the whole release did not sound as full as the 'Ant Odyssey' intro, and that the crowd noise was so completely removed. Took away from the feel of their shows.
To finish.........I wrote Mr May and his webmistress years ago about how I had hoped Brian would have done something along the lines of 'Six Degrees'. Forget the pop and hopeful hit.......do something that shows off the talent, songwriting, guitar, etc..............never heard a reply. Obviously, Cosmos Rocks did not have any hint of that style.
To close.........I know many who don't like James LaBrie's vocals, or think he has 'fallen' since the early days. Well, think of what they've had him sing in recent years. From a listener who grew up with Freddie, Dennis DeYoung, Steve Perry, Kevin Cronin.........lead singers who could SING.....he's not too shabby by any means. Not on their level........but damn good, and he fits. Glad he was with them for 'Scenes', 'Six Degrees', and 'Octavarium'. Now if they'd just get rid of the cookie monster vocal crap, I'd be happy.
before anyone makes their snide comments about this being a Q and not a DT list, well, I wish I could find one.
But we'll be seeing the medley from Sheer Heart Attack performed soon, live, in person (we hope), so there's my Queen reference.

The broadcasting bit is exactly the same reason I can't stand Tool's "Third Eye"

They don't write catchy songs... with the possible exception of Pull Me Under, which was actually a moderate hit.
That said, who says their songs have to be catchy? Are you suggesting that catchy hooks are the only thing that can make a song a good song?

I knew you were gonna get your panties in a bunch over that comment, but you have no problem critisizing freddie mercury that he wasn't perfect.

Not sure what you're getting at..
But yes, nobody's perfect. Even the greatest artists of our time have written terrible songs. Likewise, some little-known ones have written great songs.

Yes of course, a good song is a catchy song and they cant write one therfor they arent a good band.
