Good points. With Melvins & HoF on the main setlist and Sleep on my Doom chapter I was thinking that would be solid enough. Someone else mentioned they wanted more stoner. I do have Drudkh and Agalloch for a dip in post metal but I may drop something off my prog metal chapter and add a post band in there. Both stoner and postmetal are super narrow in the scope of all things heavy metal though, not that they dont deserve their best foot forward in representation.
With plenty of other tracks that are guitar/drum focused I fealt the need to give vocalist a strong choice. Overall Strange Deja Vu is probably my favorite vocal performance from LaBrie, its also a catchy, melodic and well written and just a well constructed song all around. Its length is also easy to digest. I didnt want Dream Theater to be completey dwarfed with the pressence of both Geoff Tate and Ray Alder.
"Needs less oldies and more heavier tracks. Although I did like the 00's setlist. "
Thanks for the reply. Oldies gotta be in there as I wanted the entire history of metal in there. As long as you don't mean deathcore, advise noted. I think I gotta plenty of super heavy stuff in there ;]
Way way way too many to name off, but here's some of my all time favorites:
High Tide's Sea Shanties - 1969 Lucifer's Friend s/t - 1970 Icecross's s/t - 1973 Destruction's Sentence of Death - 1984 Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness - 1989 Atheist's Piece of Time - 1989 Obituary's Cause of Death - 1990 Coroner's Mental Vortex - 1995 Opeth's Still Life - 1999 Onslaught's Killing Peace - 2007
