And on the 8th day, God created Dream Theater. God then proceeded to rock out with his cock out.

Was this the same as the other thread? 

Good stuff man, real tight playing.  I think I read on the other thread people saying there needed to be a hook or something, I'd agree with that 100%.  The first lick is awesome, total Zappa to my ears.  Even if you made that the head and brought it back a few times that could work IMO.  Although there are a lot more unisons throughout the song, I wasnt sure if any of them were repeats.  I know you're not the songwriter (right?) but definitely try and bring in some kind of motif, hook or head to make it seem like more of a 'song' and less of a backing track for the guitarist to wank over.  :D (No offense dude, he is a VERY good player.)

But, that aside I really enjoyed it!  You seem like the total anchor of the band, the drummer seemed to be a little sloppy in places.  Nothing like a tight bass player...
