Hi, I'm going to the Boston date of the Dream Theater/Trivium tour and am wondering if there will be a meet and greet?

Also I'm curious as to who's going and which city they're attending!

So I never bought the dean Signature models because I always knew matt would end up back on the Les Paul and Corey back on the king v. After reading Matt's Blog and seeing pics and prototypes of Coreys new signature I can say I could truly will go buy these upon their arrival at my local music store (Support Small Business). So whats your opinion? Are you excited? Are you gonna buy these guitars?

i know the answers for myself

What type lyrics do you like to hear when you listen to Trivium's music. Over the years I've kind of divided Trivium songs into different categories (ex. Mythological, Social Issues, Hardships / Love/reflection, and straight out thrash.)

Out of these Categories (you can add more) which ones do you enjoy the most. And give One or two song examples.

1. Social issues (Gunshot, And sadness will sear)
2. Mythological (Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis,Of Prometheus and the Crucifix, Like Callisto to a Star in Heaven
3. Straight out Thrash (TO THE RATS)
4.Hardships / Love/reflection (This world Can't tear us apart)



http://www.whitenoisemetal.com/ has an awesome interview with Matt regarding his lyrics, you should check it out if you enjoyed this topic

What Are your Favorite Guitars and basses that Matt, Corey and Paolo have used over the years.

My favorites are....\/

Matt:


Corey:




Paolo:

I thought that since the band has described STSA as a mix of everything they've done (totally true) what 10 songs would you like them to have elements of on the next album. Use any songs you want even from the blue demo and bonus tracks.

1. Shogun- Matt's tone while singing the clean parts is awesome it sounds so almost orchestral but at the same time metal. also around the 5:47 i love the almost blues/classically influenced guitar solo.

2. STSA- Two words. BLAST BEAT. I also love that bent riff att the begining it almost has a Pantera / Damageplan groove feel

3. Down From The Sky- "The elephant riff" at about 3:10 is great it has the feel of a breakdown but its not its a pure pummeling thrash riff. I also enjoy the guitar harmonies during the chorus.

4. Pull Harder- This song is epic and i love the intro riff. Its the definition of the new wave of american heavy metal. Also the chorus is amazing.

5. Gunshot to The Head- I love the way at 2:45 their is almost a feeling of taking charge of the situation and the dual guitar solos following are epic.



These are great songs. But one thing i do want to say are these are my opinions. I would like to see this happen but I think the boys will come up with something awesome that none of us will expect.

Thrash and burn and Much Love,

Brad
