Metallica: A Photo Timeline of Their Remarkable Career Dream Theater, Lost Not Forgotten Archives: Master of Puppets – Live in Barcelona, 2002 Their new album, A View From the Top of the World, arrives Oct. Last month, Dream Theater postponed a planned North American tour to next year. “I have to admit that upon discovering Metallica my perception of technique opened up to other possibilities outside of … classical.”Īccording to its website, the Lost Not Forgotten Archives “will see the virtuosic quintet’s long-standing Ytsejam Records catalogue reissued, alongside some brand new additions to this special collectors series. Ytsejam Records previously played host to Dream Theater’s official bootleg release collection comprising of live shows, demos and studio outtakes from throughout the band’s prolific career.” Having come up “playing Bach, Liszt and Chopin, the idea of technique and virtuosities had a definite place in my mind,” Rudess added. So diving into this helped me to understand the compositional ideas and techniques that were so influential to the metal side of Dream Theater.” They were a major influence on the other guys in the band. “Before we covered this album, my Metallica knowledge was not so deep. Keyboard guitar sounds are not ‘cool’ right out of the box, so I had to do some serious programming to get the articulations to sound realistic.”įor him, Master of Puppets was an “eye-opener,” he continued.

“Although I was appointed the job of being the equivalent of a rhythm guitarist for our version,” Rudess explained, “I did have some flexibility to change things up a bit and add in some more keyboard-type sounds and parts. Regardless, transposing from guitar to keys is a big challenge.

The technical complexities of metal often get compared to the intricacies of classical music. I grew up playing Chopin and Liszt, and even they did not prepare me for Master of Puppets!” “The keyboard does not have a guitar pick and playing rapid-fire notes is not that easy. “Wow!” Rudess told Revolver this week when recalling his thoughts ahead of the concert. Listeners can hear the veteran progressive metal band cover the landmark 1986 thrash LP in full on Master of Puppets – Live in Barcelona, 2002, the live recording that was reissued last month as part of Dream Theater’s throwback series, the Lost Not Forgotten Archives. Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess admits to not being prepared to perform Metallica songs before his band covered Master of Puppets, despite his years of playing classical music.
