I hear Dream Theater quite often on the radio here in Maine. The station TOS
plays them at least once a night, but friends tell me they hear them at least
once or twice during the day as well. Before SFAM, we'd hear mostly "Burning
My Soul" and "Lines In The Sand", and occasionally PMU and "Lie". Every now
and then I'll call up and request something less known, ("Scarred", "Under A
Glass Moon", ect).
I never hear Steve (Vai) on the radio around here. Once a classic rock
station, (WBLM) was playing P&W in the background for an entire night, but
thats it.
I remember hearing "Blowfish" on one station in NH.
As for the 4-20 events....as far as I know, today wasn't a horrible day. For
the past few years we've had nothing but tragedies on 4-20, so it's nice to
know something bad didn't happen for once. Happy B-day Mike.
Warm Regards...
Cheers....
Enjoy life....

Yo!
Due to your chitter-chatter, I'm gonna splitter-splatter your blidder-bladder!
Just had to get that off my chest.
Anyway...
Thanks to the person who recommended HMV.com for finding Michael Romeo's solo CD: The Dark Chapter. As the person said, they shipped it out the next day!
HMV is based in Canada, but they ship all over the world and this American is damn satisfied!
- Dr. Teeth
N.P. They Might Be Giants - Flood
P.S. Regarding the "Drum Machine" used on the CD. It isn't nearly as bad as I had been warned. It's tastefully mixed in with keys and plenty of effects. The result is a very delicious CD of instrumental neo-classical prog. If you love Symphony X and can deal with the fact that the awesome drums are created by a machine and not a guy, get this CD!!!
P.P.S. Do other countries in North America (or South America, for that matter) think it's weird that people in the United States sometimes refer to themselves as "Americans"?
P.P.P.S. Minimum Wage! (Hyaaah!) *Whip-crack*

I suppose if you are donating your services, it's one thing.
Me, I'm looking to hire someone local to figure out what the
bass line and some of the keys riffs in a particular tune
are, because I figure if I'm going to put someone else through

what do you consider the weakest Dream Theater songs on their albums so
far? Please send me your pick for 3 weakest DT songs with the subject
"Nightmare Poll" to totikus@gmx.net. You may vote for any DT song from the

This was on our "Most emotional songs" list some months ago.
Have to agree with loving it.
If memory serves me, this was written by Kevin, and recorded
last of the Awake sessions. It was included as a mini-disc
from the Japanese release of Awake, so kindly distributed
to us Americans by Kaoru. The samples from the live versions
were likely supplied by Kevin, being excerpts of James Joyce
(more of which appears in 6:00, read by the same person).

I first heard Dream Theater when they opened for Marillion at the Sundance
club in Long Island, I think in 1989, maybe early 90. I was impressed with
the first half of the set whaich was all instrumental as they had no singer
at the time. They then said we have a surprise for you and introduced their
new vocalist from Seattle, is that the same guy as now? I retreated to the
bar at that point as this guy proceeded to prance around the stage like he
was in Motley Crue or something!!
Anyway, onto my point - I picked up SFAM as I'd heard a couple of songs at
my friends house. I love it and it's never out of my CD player lately.
What I want is recommendations for the next purchase - what do you guys
think?

No, it's not the same guy, the one you're talking about was Steve
something-or-other if I'm not mistaken... The current vocalist is James
LaBrie, who joined in 1992. Ummm, next purchase, that's kinda difficult, but
I'd say either A Change of Seasons or Images and Words, since those are two
classics. If you like something a bit heavier, get Awake. I'd say buy Falling
into Infinity last, as it tends to be the least favorite.

Yeah, although it makes sense that Kevin wrote most of it, the song is
credited on the whole band if im not mistaken (i dont have the cd liner
here) as opposed to say, space dye vest, which is credited solely to Kev.
Lately ive been realizing that Awake is my fave DT album...at least its the
one i go back and listen to it the most to this day... theres something
about Awake...mmm :)
LOL
/me wonders if DT would ever work with those two dudes who produced awake,
and wonders if theres a specific reason why not?
Anyone... Anyone..?

I have to put in my good word for Hudson music, i received my tapes quickly,
and both were in perfect conditions, and it had perfect quality. (BOTH live in
tokyos ive bought , one i ordered off the internet, the other at a store , had
problems with the hi-fi dropping out at certain points, and my 5yial does the
same thing, only once or twice, thats why i ddnt exchange it) my LDT videos
are perfect though...

And lastly...has anyone seen "Keeping the Faith?" I heard there is a scene
where the two guys from somewhere in New York are talking about the guy they
went to high school with that smoked a lot of pot. They said his name was
Mike something...then they said Portnoy. Anyone know what I'm talking
about?
I saw "Keeping the Faith" the other day, and I'm almost sure his the first
name wasn't 'Mike', but his last name was "Portnoy". I thought about posting
it but figured no one would really care =^).
-Fran saw the String Cheese Incident yesterday, and it was their
drummer's birthday, too. Small year, huh?
