RE: The Dance Of Eternity - (Dream Theater Guitar Cover)
What is funny here is if you made me pick my favorite bands at the moment it would be Dream Theater, Opeth, and Nevermore. For different moods. Opeth I'm not as into their new stuff, but I love everything up through Watershed a lot. Not the most complex but man it has a unique sound... DT is for when I want to melt my mind due to the "holy shit factor"... Nevermore... just great vocals, great thrash, and nice guitar work.
Now Nevermore not being together anymore means that eventually I'll need to fill that top three slot with someone else.
The funny thing is you've now covered TWO of my top three bands... and this song... man YOU did this song. Impressive.
Yeah, maybe i can do some Nevermore too!, any suggestion?... Hehe, also Opeth is one of my top favorites but the old albums, also same with DT, i like the old stuff better, although i have done some of their new stuff too...
Nevermore has some great stuff. Might be more complicated than Opeth, but not anywhere close to Dream Theater. Has some absolutely brilliant vocals (perhaps my favorite vocalist) and very powerful guitar work. They definitely skirt the edges of thrash metal + progressive metal.
Let me see if I can find you some good ones... might suggest Obsidian Conspiracy from their final album... there is a good video of Jeff Loomis playing it at a guitar center without vocals... will give you the track with vocals too.
wow those are some challenging songs!... I forgot Jeff joined Nevermore, definitely some kickass stuff...
Jeff didn't join. He formed it with Warrel Dane and Jim Shepard. He actually left Nevermore to join Arch Enemy, and Warrel Dane and Jim went on to reform Sanctuary.
Yeah you are right, i was confused, Jeff leaved Nevermore!
Their songs are pretty much all great. That one is likely one of the more challenging ones. You could pick any number of songs though and they sound great.
