Ziltoid The Omniscient


Also, Master Of Puppets is kind of a concept album as it has a common theme which is dealing with different forms of control. That's my all time favorite album (as it had so much influence on me and my guitar playing) and been so since i first bought the album at 14, now i'm 31, i've worn out a few copies of it. It's a obvious choice and is probably not a "cool" choice but i don't care.

I'm not saying these are the best concept albums by any means but they are the ones I listen to and enjoy the most.


Ziltoid is the best. you know it. Can't beat the climax of "color your world" then into the dark realization of "the greys".

Major pink Floyd fan so it's a tough decision. But I'd probably go with the wall
Guitars: '90 Gibson LP Studio, '14 PRS Custom 22, EVH Black&Yellow, Squire Pro Tone Strat
Amp and Cab Bugera 1990 or 1960 into an Orange 2x12 w/Heritage G12M's or Peavy 2x12 w/Seventy 80's
FX: the pedals I build

Rush Hemispheres.


I like other stuff, but I can ALWAYS go back to Hemispheres.

And hell YES, this was a GREAT fucking album! :lol:
Had kind of a live feel, but pretty good production for that era!
