Wow, great news about Q104.3!!! (For those not in the NY area, its
a metal/rock station that I believe premiered Lie in this area - another
radio station , Seton-Hall Univ. -based, has just begun to play it..)
I guess I better start calling into that place, eh? :)
I called Manhattan Center concerning the ticket sales, but as I
far as I know, the tickets aren't on sale yet, but should be very soon,
prolly at beginning of the month. Another thing is that Ticketbastard will
be exclusively seeling the tickets until the night of the show, when
Manhattan Center will be selling them at the door (while supplies last,
as they say). As for selling out tickets, Manhattan Center is a pretty big
place ( I saw DT with Damn the Machine there last year), and I think
that they will have tickets available at the door, depending how accepted
"Lie" will become....but I'm getting tickets ASAP anyway.....
I still haven't heard much from people around the NYC area
concerning a pre-show get-together. I guess this area is full of
non-socialites :) If anyone is interested, drop me a line thru E-mail or
post it here for those lazy people who don't feel like sending messages. :)
Later, folx....

I know this is non-DT related and all, but I was just wondering
if anyone out there has gotten the new Fates Warning album, "Inside Out"?
And if you have, throw a coupla comments about it on here in
between some flames or something....:)
I think that this is most likely the best FW album I have heard
and that they have come out with...it's all I listen to nowadays (until
10/4, that is :) A couple of the songs, especially "Monument" and "Down
to the Wire", sound very DT-ish, and they've exposed alot more keys on
the album as well (no Kevin on this album though)....
I recommend it to FW fans who haven't gotten it, and to DT fans
whose CD's are worn out from over-playing (if wearing out of CD's is
possible, I know its Ytsejammers that would do it!) FW is most likely on
the outs once again if they're album sales aren't up to par with the
execs, and it would really be a shame to see such talent go...
Well, that's my $.02....

Subject: Awake Album Cover
Message-ID: <009853CE.6D400420.9372@Iowa.Physics.UIowa.EDU>
The Awake album cover can be previewed in "Guitar For The Practicing Musician"
magazine, for anyone interested... There's an ad on page 30, which proclaims
that it's "in stores now"... yeah right... This is the Novemner issue, so
Atlantic must have assumed we wouldn't get it until at least Oct. 4 :)
There's also a review (though not an accurate one, IMHO) on page 165... only
worth checking out because that shows you not just the artwork, but exactly how
the cover will appear... be prepared to get out your magnifying glass, though!
basic description: "Dream Theater" written across the top in yellow letters,
same font as on I&W cover. Right underneath, "AWAKE" in small white letters
(centered). Artwork is all black and white, except for a mirror, whose frame
is gold and very ornate, and whose reflection is in color.
The picture is of some kind of surreal landscape with a city in the background
(a... Metropolis?! :) ), and there are clouds in the sky above the city. Above
on the left is a clock face (set to "Six O'Clock"), and to the right is a
picture of Jupiter ("Space Dye Vest"?). In the foreground, there's a statue,
faced just enough away from us so that we can't see its face, just a profile.
The stature appears to be in the style of the Greek gods, with short hair and a
long beard (which the right hand is holding). In the mirror is the reflection
of the left half of the statue's face, but it doesn't look like the statue at
all (looks bald to me). In the lower right hand corner is a spider in a web,
the web being partially attatched to the mirror. The surface between the
statue and the city in the background looks like the waves on a turbulent
sea...
Well, have fun searching your local magazine stand for this one... there's an
interview with Petrucci in the mag as well, but it deal pretty much with guitar
stuff, so if you don't play, you might want to just look at the artwork and not
buy it... :)
