Falling into Infinity is such an underrated album!

[@alexmarguti6865]

Agree!!

[@Feltronc]

That guitar solo with the weird effect you hear is actually the legendary synth lead sound from Derek Sherinian. It’s a keyboard solo 🤘 Keep up the awesome reactions! Love them all!

[@normanottley1316]

Yes, it's a pitch wheel, or peddle these days, and is similar to the WAH WAH peddle used for guitars.

[@ophreacts214]

Yes, upon second listen, I can hear that now. Thanks for the info and thanks for stopping by!

[@laurabuer4714]

They played this several years back at the Masonic in San Francisco. Oh, it was beautiful!

The 'heavily affected' guitar is Derek Sherinian's keyboard sound'

[@NaanProphet]

Woo! Knew you'd like the groove/less frantic aspect of DT. There's actually 2 keyboard solos in there but both of them kinda sound like a guitar because keyboardist Derek Sherinian was more influenced by guitar players like Yngwie Malmsteen and Eddie Van Halen than keyboardists. The man's solos were so good, they very often get mistaken for guitar if you don't know.

[@user-mq7de9yz9o]

don't forget about Magellan!! Magna Carta and The Great Goodnight are absolutely epic!

[@rtrooperw8115]

First solo, not guitar. A synth. FYI🙏🏻🤙🏻Amazing tune!🤟🏻

[@frankjones1830]

Check out Symphony X, “The Divine Wings Of Tragedy” and Fates Warning, “The Light And Shade Of Things”. Two of the other Prog Metal greats.

[@shlomorothstein9691]

Ive been recommending him Fates for a while now, he wont do it man

[@ophreacts214]

Lol, I'll get to them soon my man, I get a ton of suggestions and comments. Keep an eye out. Thanks for the views and interactions!

[@rtrooperw8115]

One of their many, many classics! In The Presence of Enemies!!!🤟🏻🙏🏻

[@NikolaEON]

For me, FII is an excellent album. It was a step out of their usual expected gig, but not in the wrong way. Just because it was different, it wasn't well-accepted among fans when it came out. But it's growing to me very well as time goes by 😊 Especially when you look at what BS is being recorded these days.

Welcome to the Wasteland, where you find ashes

[@tacomania7954]

Nothing but ashes

[@johnnorman7180]

Not heavily effected guitar, that is keyboard. Derek is famous for shredding on keys

[@user-mq7de9yz9o]

To Live Forever (Live 1998) has similar funky jam vibes

[@shlomorothstein9691]

I would recommend checking out the live version from Breaking The Fourth Wall. John Petrucci does a pretty spectacular intro in that particular performance. Also I'm still suggesting the band Fates Warning. Their song "Still Remains" is a great start. Kevin Moore, Dream Theater's original (and best IMO) keyboardist was featured on that Fates Warning album.

[@ianmitnick8245]

I suggest the Dream Theater songs "Outcry" and "Strange Deja Vu" if you haven't reacted to them yet
