Though technically really nice.. I feel nothing with it. IMHO it lacks feeling and from the vid I think most of the crowd share my feelings Tongue

Interesting stuff.
Reminds me a little of Dream Theater.

The guitarist is fast and unique, but a bit too technical IMHO.

Cool stuff though.
Do you have a link to their site or info on any CD's available.
I might want to give a listen to more of them.

Aye ... here you are Dave.

Liquid Tension Experiment was a little sideproject of John Petrucci and Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, Jordan Ruduss (who joined Dream Theater after Derek Sherinian left) and Tony Levin (you might know him as the bass player for Peter Gabriel). Their 'official' website is http://www.yesiknow.com/lte/ but it's outdated as LTE was a limited project.

If you like this kind of music you might also want to check G3, which is basically Joe Satriani and Friends. This year he takes John Petrucci and Paul Gilbert (former Racer X and Mr. Big guitarist ) with him on the road. Check out the G3 website at http://www.satriani.com/G3/.

All the Dream Theater members have a vast array of side projects; check them out at http://www.dreamtheater.net/disco_projects.php. I have a couple of these side projects on CD but I was amazed by Transatlantic which features Mike Portnoy, Neal Morse (Spock's Beard), Pete Trewavas (Marillion) and Roine Stolt (The Flower Kings).

Before Transatlantic the first MullMuzzler album blew me away. It's James LaBrie's band which features Mike Keneally from the Frank Zappa Band and Mike Mangini whom you may know from Steve Vai, Extreme and/or Annihilator.

But there are so many ... just check out the Dream Theater website Wink

Can't believe you are into this Harold! Wink

I saw The G3 Tour back in the late 90's. It may have been the 1st tour with Satriani, Steve Vai & Eric Johnson at The Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC!! Wink

Another piece of interesting info..
After my band broke up in the early 90's, my guitarist & bass player went onto Boston to create the band "BIG WRECK". They were signed by Atlantic and put out 2 albums. When they went on tour back in 1998, they were the opening act for Dream Theater. I saw them at their last show here on Long Island right before they went to Japan. It was a great show as my guitarist & Bassist gave me full access to go anywhere. Hung out with everybody and it is a shame I don't remember much of that night! Wink

Very cool Souichiro! Cool

I was able to get right up front, my bloody arms were on the stage floor when Satriani came out on stage with the fog and he had his shades on.
He was right in front of me! It was awesome!

Sounds awesome. Seeing a great guitarist perform can just give me goosebumps. A thing that rarely happens with Singers. ( Unless it's a special occasion song).

I learned of G3 through a portugese guy at my work. He had the silver surfer album. It took me a while to get used to it and I wasn't convinced at once. But when I just happened to find the same album I bought it and was blown away. After that G3 came. And now recently ago I introduced him to Randy Rhoads, Great how music works! In the light of that. A website like Last.FM is a great tool in discovering new artists as it links your played music with other similar artists!

Wicked ...

Satch is so cool and he has such a nice tone. I play guitar because of him

I already played my father's acoustic now and then but then a friend let me listen to 'Flying in a Blue Dream'. It is still my favourite Satriani song. I played that song so much ... I think I can even play it backwards Grin

Soon after Satch I learned about Steve Vai and he amazed me even more ... I liked his music so much that I bought one of his signature Ibanez Universe guitars and when he played with G3 in Ahoy - Rotterdam I had him sign it. Very memorative event ...

But I John Petrucci is truly amazing too ... when I first heard Dream Theater's 'Images and Words' I wanted to quit playing guitar, but I'm glad I didn't Wink

Funny to discover that you like those bands too Dave ... a year after I joined SimV Cool
