hybes (and everyone) - Ah, Dredg... I think the band sounds like a cross between U2 and Rush. They have four full-length albums, all of which are very different from each other.
I'd recommend starting with either Catch Without Arms (2005) or The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion (2009). Their other albums are El Cielo (2002), which was my favorite before their new album came out, and Leitmotif (1998). Don't get that one until the end...it sounds the least like anything else they've done.
Here are YouTube links to music videos of some singles from their last three albums:
Information (from The Pariah...)
Bug Eyes (from Catch Without Arms)
Same Ol' Road (from El Cielo)
And here are two more YouTube links:
Cartoon Showroom (my favorite song from The Pariah...)
Planting Seeds (my favorite song from Catch Without Arms)
That last video is a live performance...yes, that's a typewriter the lead singer is using (and yes, it's miked so you can hear him type). A few years ago he'd type messages throughout the show on small pieces of paper and throw them out into the crowd. I caught one at the first show I went to, it said "thanks for sitting in the front".
Dredg is very different from the music most people seem to listen to here, but they're an excellent band and are well worth getting into.
...Austin...

Hybes: I'm glad u asked! It's a talk2joe app, it just makes it really easy to read/search/post on the iPhone. I posted this message from it now.
It adds footer stuff like what song you're listening to and whatever else you set up for your own footer.
All that for $1.99! It'll be on the app store shortly. It's on my iPhone dock so I can open it quickly and check posts anytime.

Thanks Pip and Austin for the good wishes, life goes on.
Austin: No CD changer, I never carry my original CD's in the car anyways (risk of theft is always high), so I make my compilation MP3 CD's and listen to them all the way through, about 2 weeks per CD, or 3 CD's for road trips.
The dates add up for having pushed you into DT, by the time G3 2001 rolled along I already was a huge fan of Scenes from a Memory and had seen the DVD numerous times. My bad!! Can't say u regret it, right? :)
Michelle: u MUST hear it! Some parts you'll probably hate but most of it is pure evil. Get the special edition also, the covers are insane!!!
Guitarvibes: Sometimes it's best that Rudess remain hidden in the mix. For me he has ruined a couple of perfectly good songs with his corny breakdowns (Endless Sacrifice comes to mind). Now, Myung is another story...I still agree with you on the external producer comment.
Lots of posts today! will catch up later.
Currently listening to: Dream Theater - BC&SL - Song: Star-f@#$ing-Gazer!!!!!

Ive never been so shocked in my life when i was directed to this page..
Click here
Are you Kidding? Joe Satriani is Chickenfoot. Removing him, for starters, has stopped me from ever purchasing anything Peavey again. I have thousands of dollars in Peavey gear and was prepared to purchase one of the new models of the JSX. Joe Satriani has supported you guys 100% and now, as the right every musician has, he wants to seek a better tone. Whats the problem...your wallet itching....well get ready to scratch it because i am only 1 of many thousands who will support Joe, the musician..and not Peavey..the corporation, only in it for profits. You should be ashamed!. I would have respected your company if it would have waited to speak to Joe before such drastic measures were taken. if you think removing him will benefit anyone...your way wrong!
A former peavey Supporter,
Joe Cipolla
Ps. Ill be blacking out the Peavey logos on my amps and cabs..like you have...and
..just like EVH...now JSX..lmoa

My opinion about Peavey, EVH, & Satch, is that this business is just between Peavey, EVH, & Satch.
Don't really understand why people feel so concerned by a business that isn't their business.
To me, the most important point is that two amps are born, & the rest doesn't concern us.
To support a musician is a point. To go without any invitation into its personnal things an other.
& above all, the most ridiculous is to oppose Marshall & Peavey, especially onto a forum of a guy like Joe, who gets an amazing collection of different heads. Yeap. Ridiculous. Joe has never waited for us to play onto the amps he wants to play with.
Sorry to smash, but.. shit.

Enjoy the show, all you T2Jers who will be in London tonight. Travel safe, have fun, and take lots of pictures and videos to share with the rest of us. I haven't seen a My Kinda Girl video in a while...I'm just sayin'! ;-)
cheese101 - So did you decide to do Berkeley after all, then? Or are you still on the fence?
elpp - Haha...I don't regret you getting me into DT at all, no. \m/
I went back to look through the archives...I guess I'm feeling nostalgic. In some of my earliest posts I talk about downloading LTE's Acid Rain from Napster, as an introduction to John Petrucci after a T2Jer's recommendation. I then bought the two LTE albums from CDNOW.
Going back a bit further...my first post was on 12/9/00; I introduced myself and asked Joe if he'd add Silent Night or Sleigh Ride from the Merry Axemas discs to the LISF setlist. That's also the only post on T2J without the "..."s surrounding my name, which I added to make it stand out because everything showed up as one giant paragraph back then.
The first person I directly talked to (and the first to respond to me) was.........michelle! (Awww...how sweet.) She said she liked the Merry Axemas discs so I told her about Gary Hoey.
Here's the link, if anyone feels like reading from the bottom up for a while. ;-)
...Austin...

Have a great time in Shepherd's Bush tonight guys and gals!!!!!!! Tweet if you can!
Do The Stu - thanks for all those links I really like your recommendations for bands to listen to, so many and so little time to hang around on the pooter but I'll try the Dredg ones.
And the link to the old page of posts is fascinating - elpp was there way back then haha, that's 9 years at least good on you for being so dedicated.
How's the California summer by the way, getting a good tan? Lots of beach?

Seems to me that some folks have been getting Peaveyed over something and nothing.
I see it a bit like the Coldplagiarism thing, if Joe doesn't like it he will do something about it.

DoTheStu...I am currently playing through a Fender Reissue '65 Twin Reverb. Peavey has been making great amps for years. And I'm sure that the JS / JSX combination sounds that way because Joe wants it to...lol. A very versatile amp otherwise,,
And thank God for "Freedom Of Speech" ! ! !

What's up all? I'm new to the site. Just wanted to drop a line and say hello, kind of throw myself into the works here. And I wanted to let everyone know about this kid I came accross on youtube last night. I figure bein fellow Satch fans you'll all probably appreciate this. I'm learnin some new satch material (well attempting lol) and I was checkin some songs out on youtube. But I came accross this kid band from portland named 'Still Pending'. They're great for 12-13 year old kids. But the guitarist does some Satch covers along with some Eric Johnson. The kid is phenominal for a 13 year old. He dropped my jaw. So if you haven't seen these kids yet, jump on youtube and give em' a look. Just awesome.
