Speaking of metal bands - how many metal or hard rock bands have NEVER used the word "Blood", "Bleeding" or "Bleed" in a song title or album title ?



Think of any Hard Rock / Metal band and there's always one.

Megadeth doesn't. I'm as surprised as you are.

Though the cover for The World Needs a Hero comes close enough.

DT13 title: Bleed the Bleedin' Blood

DT13 title: Bleed the Bleedin' Blood

There we go

[palnordseth]

My take... (first post here, so I probably do SOMETHING wrong).

Title inspired by Lawrence Krauss' book A Universe From Nothing, as I've noted popular science books tends to pop up in DT lyrics...

Very cool!  Love the cover BUT....where's the Majesty logo?   

Oh, I completely forgot the Majesty logo. I TOLD you I'd do something wrong...

[The Stray Seed]

Noooo!!!!!  You should have just told us "It's actually there... somewhere..." That would have inspired something like one zillion pages of speculation!!!!

Otherwise you could just say: "It's there. But... in potential."

By the way, welcome to DTF man!!!!

[BlackInk]

Raw Dog was on an album called Blood and Metal. Probably doesn't count, but it's the closest they got.

[JayOctavarium]

Raw Dog makes my ears bleed, but I'm not sure if that counts.

[Prog Snob]

Peruvian Skies reminds me of Bleeding Me.

Good thinking Rabbit Man !

Good thinking Rabbit Man !

that's a new one 

[Train of Naught]

"Dream Thearteen" has some real potential mate.

[Nihil-Morari]

Threen. Apart from this discussion, that should be used as thirteen. In this discussion, it could be the album title too. And it would be a story about bad luck, happening in 13 different times, but all events are interlinked. Like Cloud Atlas, but with guitars.

Dream Theater - Aristotle's Day Off (in which Dream Theater explore their more philosophical side)

1. ....or not. (a short intro) 0.09.
2.  Jordan's off to Venus 6.09 (a keyboardless track, but oddly enough, not bad at all)
3. Contemplate and Accumulate 7.13* (The band's effort to explain the lack of financial wealth after 30 odd years)
4. What happened to Mike? 4.09 (a drumless track with Mangini on mouthharp) The less said about this, the better.
5. The Pirate's Lament 9.09 (a rare display of very agressive lyrics by Labrie, so agressive this album gets a PG 18 rating)
6. Why isn't anybody smiling at a DT-Concert? 0.59 (an honest quenstion posed by Myung, with some surprising answers)
7. Who Says A Progressive Metal Band Can't Play Free Jazz? 20.09 (Funkadelic cover, done in a tasteful manner, but alas, instrumental)
8. Let's Put Our Cards On The Table 2.09  stacked deck mix (a candid interlude discussing the direction of the band, ending with an angry Petrucci breaking the table and spilling the cards)
9. Bear Tracks 13.09 (another classic folks, sung by Myung as Labrie had stummach flu and the band decided to leave it that way. Also, tribute to the famed studio's)
10. Things That Might Have Been 3.09 (beautiful parting ballad with Rudess on lead guitar, burried somewhere in the mix for some reason)

*Notice the clever use of the numbers for good- and bad luck? Ha! philophosize on that!

Produced by Mangini and Myung as it was their turn for a change, with most of the work done by Myung in the quiet hours of the night, as Mangini was never there.
Engineered by Kevin Shirley (well some of it, not all of it, in fact maybe none of it) and Rich Chycky or whatever the guy's name is. In other words, it sounds like crap.
Cover art by Poopy the rednosed elephant, which is a clever suedonym for Labrie. Later reissued with updated artwork after the demise of the band over moneyquarrels.

Dream Theater 13: Apocalypse.

[Scorpion]

Speaking of metal bands - how many metal or hard rock bands have NEVER used the word "Blood", "Bleeding" or "Bleed" in a song title or album title ?



Think of any Hard Rock / Metal band and there's always one.

Megadeth doesn't. I'm as surprised as you are.

They did release a DVD called Blood in the Water though.

[Enigmachine]

No album cover because it would look terrible if I designed it.


Dream Theater – Duality (2016)

Disc 1: Sapphire Skies

1. Sapphire 7:12 (Music by Petrucci, Rudess, Myung, Mangini – Lyrics by Petrucci) – Abstract lyrics relating to the colour blue and the concept of peace. While the song is technical, it isn't relatively that heavy and has a 70s prog vibe with some Rudess experimentation and soaring, melodic guitar solos.
2. Understanding Fate 5:20 (Music by Petrucci, Rudess – Lyrics by Petrucci) – Lyrics about the inevatability of decay. This song is more of a somber acoustic guitar-based ballad and contains a long outro seaboard solo where the rest of the band enter.
3. In Clear View 6:48 (Music by Petrucci, Rudess, Myung, Labrie – Lyrics by Myung) – About recovery from a mentally ill state. Some loosely structured Progressive Metal with changing moods.
4. Ashes of Rebellion 14:34 (Music by Petrucci, Rudess, Myung, Mangini – Lyrics by Labrie) – About whether rebellion is worth the cost. Begins with an epic and heavy instrumental section followed by a dark ballad that becomes increasingly sinister before a heavy bridge then melodic soloing before closing with an intense variant on the chorus.
5. Dualities 6:50 (Music by Petrucci, Rudess, Myung, Mangini – Instrumental) Remeniscent of some of Liquid Tension Experiment's work but with Mangini's complex polyrhythms.
6. Found Again 3:39 (Music by Rudess – Lyrics by Labrie) – About finding solace in coming home to family after a long tour. A piano diven ballad.
7. Receding Into Memory 8:28 (Music by Petrucci, Rudess, Myung, Mangini – Lyrics by Petrucci) – About regrets and how the initial actions may be beneficial in the long term. An epic uplifting ballad with a trimphantly heavy ending.

Total time: 52:51

Disc 2: Crimson Seas

1. Crimson 9:02 (Music by Petrucci, Rudess, Myung, Mangini – Lyrics by Petrucci) – Abstract lyrics relating to the colour red and the concept of chaos. Opens with sounds from various Rudess apps then builds up to the some of the heaviest and most intense instrumental sections that Dream Theater have come up with and the rest of the song consists of aggressive distorted vocals above chugging, a sinister chorus, a melodically dark solo and a chorus fading out into a dissonant piano outro.
2. The Forever Mile 6:32 (Music by Petrucci, Rudess, Myung, Mangini – Lyrics by Labrie) – About refugees and their journey away from home. Modern Prog Metal like 'The Enemy Inside' with a similar hint of desperation and intensity.
3. Calculated Emotion 10:11 (Music by Petrucci, Rudess, Myung, Mangini – Instrumental) An symphony-esque instrumental with three distinct movements, alternating between jazzy motifs, atmospheric breaks and technical outbursts.
4. Masquerade 8:50 (Music by Petrucci, Rudess, Myung, Mangini – Lyrics by Rudess) – About internet anonymity. Mid-paced Prog Metal with an extended intro.
5. Escalation from Thought 15:08 (Music by Petrucci, Rudess, Myung, Mangini – Lyrics by Petrucci) – About questioning what will become of your humanity once technology takes over. An epic with an increasing sense of darkness with a main melody appearing in various places in a different mood.

Total time: 49:43

Combined Time: 102:34

I'm actually really digging this tracklist. Especially the red-blue themed intro tracks of the two discs.
