I did mean both. That's what those bass pedals are actually made for, right? To have a sub-note, allowing the bass player to play more melodic stuff.

Well, typically, in a live setting, they can be used to allow the bass player to play melodic bass lines while still providing a bass tone, or for the bassist to play a double-neck guitar to play rhythm while still playing bass notes (giving the guitarist a chance to play lead or solo). Keyboardists can use it to play bass notes while both hands are doing melodic things. The possibilities are endless, but if they're present in the studio for DT12, I'm willing to bet we'll see them on stage for the tour! The question will be, though, who will use them? JMX, JP or JR?

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I say, give one to every member of the band (except for Mike, who's got enough to do with his feet as it is.)

Can you say four-part-bass-pedal-harmony?

Anyone notice the synth just behind the ride cymbal? Maybe Mangini is coming up with little melodies or chord progressions of his own!

Yeah, the Taurus was in studio for the last album and was on stage with JMX too. He was using it for some super low end mainly on the new stuff but also incorporating it into older tunes too.

Not so fast.  We know that Jordan splits the keyboards and typically plays a different keyboard part in each hand.  He's probably playing a sustained string line or something with his left hand, while his right hand moves so fast that it cannot be captured on film.

I've never heard keyboard bass on a DT album, and while that doesn't necessarily preclude it from this album, it would be out of character.  Plus, we know that there's a set of Taurus pedals for that kind of thing.  He's just doing his regular Jordan thing.

When I saw DT in Manc in '93, JM was using bass pedals then.

Also, I'm pretty certain he's using them on the Live in Tokyo vid. Makes sense since it was the same tour.

If I recall, they're quite noticable on A Fortune In Lies.

Pretty sure. I thought it was common knowledge he used them. I dunno how long he's been using them live but I've seen them in his pedalboard for a while I think ?
