Mike in Brazil again!

Once Again Mike is gonna be in brasilis lands, but this time with Stone Sour. Mike is going to replace  the drummer Roy Mayorga on the (fake)Rock in Rio. Roy Mayorga is looking forward for the arrival of his first daughter to be born on exactly the same day of the concert in Rio, then Roy asked his big friend Portnoy to replace him. Mike have been here twice last year: One with DT e another with A7x, and one more time this year. I hope He comes here with AM, it's too bad that Mike usually is coming to these big concerts that You have to sleep many days on the line to get a place fucking bad, Holy Crap!



recently Mike says that would have waited Petrucci if He wanted to take a Break from Dream Theater...

in this interview, as always, Mike Has proven to be conscious in his comments (when everything happened, I cannot say I was really pissed with him and I cried, fuck, but now, I think Mike really deserves respect for everything He did for the band, in my opinion: when you are born with something and suddenly it's taken from you, it's hard to restructure, it would be like you are born perfect and after 25 years you lose one of your legs, then They say that everything is gonna be fine because you can put a prosthesis, but it's not the same thing it's never gonna be the same, it's up to you get used with your loss and somehow to get over it. I think DT have yet to overcome this maybe on the next album might happen) unlike James and Jordan who if had nothing better to talk, stay quiet.


PS: First time, around 7 years that I am DT fan, that Warner Brazil makes available some DT album in the same week of its worldwide release. A Dramatic Turn of Events standard edition is being sold  here with delivery time only 2 days.
Fuck! a lot of things have changed, also the categoty they put DT was international Pop/ Rock  xD omg

Tour Kaput

Eu não deixo de dizer o quanto eu sou fan desses caras e como já tinha falado em um post antigo: é uma banda que é muito difícil de comentar, até porque sou muito fan deles, e é uma pena que eles tenham lançado o último álbum de estúdio em 2007 e por enquanto, aparentemente não pretendem lançar nada novo, bem, enquanto eles não lançam um álbum de inéditas. Eles recentemente lançaram um álbum duplo e um dvd chamado Tour Kaputt, esse dvd foi gravado na Holanda em 2007, eles entitularam como bootleg, mas isso é uma grande mentira xD, porque a qualidade está INCRÍVEL , é material indispensável àqueles admiradores não só de boa música, mas de rock progressivo, ou como alguns dizem: Symphonic Prog; pra quem gostou de The Sum of No Evil e pra quem já é fan antigo da banda, esse material novo resgata toda magia do rock progressivo em todas suas nuances, grande cd e dvd que com certeza vale a pena comprar! foda²!


The Flower Kings - Tour Kaputt




Buy It!





Destaque pra todas as músicas e o baterista Pat Mastelotto que é matador.

ADTOE Review CD/DVD

I've heard a few times the new DT ADTOE and...


I want to listen since the first song for not losing the album concept, then
I started with the great On the Back of Angels,


Build me Up, Break me Down reminds some song from James Labrie - Elements of Persuation, mainly for the electronic part,

Lost not Forgotten starts with a remarkable piano solo, then the guys start shredding everything, James Labrie' voice is really interesting in this song,

This is the Life is one of the few that hook u, great song, but the vibe is sad,

Bridges in the Sky starts with a burp, i guess it is, then it comes with a Petrucci's killer riff that, if DT had someone doing growling vocals it would be fucking awesome! it reminds  The Shattered Fortress,



till Break all Illusions, it's hard to say some song that excited me, I think Bridges in the Sky, perhaps for the Riff, so far the best one, I miss some heavy pieces in this album and it was How I thought, the songs are more melodic, I don't know if it's a criticism or it's a compliment, for many it could be the right way.


Beneath the Surface reminds some thing kinda Lazarus from PT, beautiful song



..after I've listened to the entire album, I think On The Back of Angels is the best one.

DVD The Spirit Carries On Documentary: as everyone I was thinking that in this DVD we would have more Bonus footage, deleted scenes, material that They didn't upload to You Tube... but another disappointment, the video is the same! sincerely for who has spoken that this released would be glorious.. OMG, it has to be noted that They put a lot of effort on that, thanks guys! but ADTOE don't beat some other releases of this year.



After all dramatic events, this is the DT answer for all fans around the world, for many it would be enough for other it won't be.





I am DT fan , but this album is not what I was expecting, but suddenly, who knows.. I could change my mind,

it seems, for this album, the guys are still sad for everything that happened: the departure after 25 years, Fuck crap no!


To be noted: one week before ADTOE comes out, this is the first DT release that you can find FLAC files with the scans to download, and that seems it's gonna be my first DT album that I won't buy :-(

Sound Awake

Ouvi esses caras no ano passado, não dei tanta atenção, não achei que era tão especial, mas estava errado. Karnivool seria uma mistura de Tool com Porcupine Tree, e ainda sendo, em minha opinião, melhor que o PT, banda super perfeita ao vivo e neste álbum eles mostram o quanto são bons..



Karnivool - Sound Awake



1. Simple Boy
2. Goliath
3. New Day
4. Set Fire To the Hive
5. Umbra
6. All I Know
7. The Medicine Wears Off
8. The Caudal Lure
9. Illumine
10. Deadman
11. Change








.. destaque pra simple boy, new day.. mas em especial para o vocalista que, algumas vezes cantando, parece que está em êxtase profundo.. xD

Far Skies Deep Time

Tá aí mais uma banda independente, com um som firme, de qualidade e com músicos excepcionais. O Big Big Train é uma daquelas bandas que tem uma certa similaridade com o Genesis, até porque o vocalista lembra o Phil Collins, mas sem perder a sua própria identidade.


Big Big Train - Far Skies Deep Time



01 Master of Time
02 Fat Billy Shouts Mine
03 British Racing Green
04 Brambling
05 The Wide Open Sea








ótimo EP pra quem não gosta de algo heavy, .. super peaceful, destaque pra todas canções, mas Brambling em especial que lembra o TFK.

Motherland

Mais uma banda italiana e não tão diferente das demais, muito bons, inclusive acho que o vocalista lembra o André Matos..


Daedalus - Motherland



01. What A Challenging World
02. Your Lies
03. Until You’re Here
04. Perspective Of The Moon
05. For Aye
06. Motherland
07. Sand
08. Weather The Storm
09. Underground
10. A Tale
11. Empty Rooms







a primeira música que ouvi foi um teaser de Motherland que achei bem foda, aliás, depois que ouvi o cd não dá pra deixar de destacar Motherland e For Aye, esta se não tivesse uma letra tão poética poderia ser melhor. Foda!
