![]() ![]() The DVD concert was amazing, keeping in mind that we're talking audio and video that is now also 40 years old, and recorded with lo-fi equipment, so my expectations weren't super high, but I really enjoyed it. The mastering on this is incredible, so unbelievably clear, like listening to 2112 for the first time. I picked up this 2112 40th Anniversary edition yesterday and have been listening to it non-stop. ![]() Music has continued on a decline where now I can't stand any of it, just garbage. Save for a few bands like Dream Theater, Symphony X, Jag Panzer, and the amazing musicians on the Shrapnel label who continued to record (Greg Howe, Tony Macalpine, Richie Kotzen, Haji's Kitchen etc.) etc., the 90's were dark days for me. As a musician myself, grunge offered me nothing except a bunch of detuned guitars (Sabbath and even Kings X already did that, and did it better than any of the grunge crap) played by "three chord guitarists", no guitar solos (or embarrassing themselves by attempting them, can you say Soundgarden), and singers droning on about their problems (I have enough of mine, don't need yours!). Click to expand.Absolutely agree with this! In addition to loving the 70's era progressive stuff, I'm also an unabashed 80's metal guy (Fates Warning, Maiden, Megadeth, Testament, Exodus, Extreme, Dokken, Ratt, Dio, Badlands, T.N.T, Zebra, Queensryche, Loudness, Racer X, Savatage etc.) and I HATED with a passion the music of the 90's, grunge/nu metal/pop punk/emo alternative. ![]()
