Official DT Top 50 Thread (Riceball Up Now - starting Page 66)

[AwakeFromOctavarium]

Both of them would be in my Top 10 as well.

I've been wondering, what are the lyrics in ACOS about?

Voices is almost starting to click for me now BTW 

Okay so he learned about Carpe Diem in school or something, and his teacher told him to cherish what he had in life. That evening, his mother would be flying on a plane. He said a special good bye to her with the lesson in mind. She died that night on the plane. Or something like that I think.

Wow, really? Source? Not that I don't believe you, but I've never heard this before and if it's true, that's really interesting.

[AcidLameLTE]

Meh different people like different things. I personally overlooked Scarred for ages but Harry mentioned it was his favourite DT song so I gave it another shot and now I love it.

Also, it's nice to see The Silent Man in there in some way or another. I love that song but it always seems to get overlooked.

[tri.ad]

I agree. The Silent Man is a really good song, I especially love the rendition on LSFNY. Maybe they'll play it again sometime (but it probably doesn't work well without Voices).

[BRGM]

Yupp, I love the LSFNY Silent man! it's an awesome song and DT has never writen anything like it.

[Silver Tears]

I agree. The Silent Man is a really good song,

Yup.

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

Yup, The Silent Man is definitely my favourite DT short song.

No offense dude, but this is very common knowledge. He doesn't need to quote a source.

MP: Then I got the Carpe Diem tattoo right – I think – after we recorded the Change of Seasons.

AD: Well, what´s the story behind this?

MP: You can see there´s a date. Actually it has kind of faded now, as I had it for so many years. 11.16.´84 – that was the day when my mom died actually – and the Change of Seasons and the whole Carpe Diem section of Change of Seasons was written about that whole experience, because the day when my mom died, no (corrects himself) the afternoon before my mom passed away my teacher in school was giving a lesson about Carpe Diem in English. Appreciate your life and everything that is in your life, because you never know, when it may be gone.
And he taught this lesson that day and it was something, that changed my life.

That night, I went home and before I went out with my friends I gave my mom a big hug and a kiss and told her, how much I loved her. She asked, what was that for and I had answered, I just wanted to let you know I love you. And that was the last time I saw her, because she died in a plane crash that night. This lesson was the most important lesson I´ve ever learned.

AD: I guess.

MP: If the teacher hadn´t teached that lesson that day, I would have just ran out the door and never had this good bye to my mom. So I tattooed it here, so it always be there and I never forget that lesson.

[Gadough]

Ah, cool. Thanks.

6.- Space-Dye Vest

I love when the whole band enters at around 5:30(?).
'nuff said.

5.- Metropolis - Part I 'The Miracle and the Sleeper'
The fan favorite and for obvious reasons, really, what's not to like about it? Awesome music, with great solos by everyone, one of the greatest instrumental section in their catalog, and those lyrics... OMG I love this song and everyone should.

[tri.ad]

Although S-DV isn't in my top 20, props to you for including it at such a high position.

[KevShmev]

At least he likes Transatlantic

Well, at least The Whirlwind, Duel with the devil, stranger in your soul, Bridge across forever and We all need some light, the rest is pretty meh to me.

You realize the songs you listed comprise a great majority of their original material, right?

[Mladen]

Some interesting choices lately.

I can't argue with that! Thanks bro

[toro]

3.- Octavarium
DT's most resent effort at making a perfect song was pretty much flawless.
I love everything about the song, the intro is great and sets the mood for the first section "Someone Like Him" wich is awesome, then comes "Medicate (Awakening)" with those bass lines, myung is great in this section and all the song too.
The MOOG solo during "Full Circle": . "Intervals" is    I love that little acoustic solo reprising the moog solo, "Razors Edge" Solo feels like somenthing you would listen to while winning a World Cup.
The Whole concept behind the song is great and full of Nuggetzz.

Overall: 

[Jarlaxle]
