rabid crowd of headbangers..... >>
WOW! what an awesome article!!! this post definately describes dt in an

I was wondering what Dream Theater song is played when you click on Mike
Portnoy's Monster kit... the lyrics are something like "and we all will
survive" close to something like that.
thanks a lot!

That would be "We All Need Some Light" by TransAtlantic. You should
definitely check them out, especially if you're into prog.

I don't want to criticize this kind of humor (it's useless) though I consider
it degenerative.
BUT posts like these (the initial one & that "ROFL!! This is the best laugh
I've had in a while...") lead to the one & only thing here in Russia - the
stable growing of anti-American feelings. Trust me it rises here and people
like you only add fuel to the dangerous fire. Too bad you don't understand it.

Please ask your government to send us Bruce Willis. I was told he repaired
russian space-ship in some movie. He is a real hero. Maybe this time he'll
repair the sub or even revive dead sailors?

Spiral Architect is THE CRAZIEST progressive metal I have EVER heard. These
guys are like the instrumental section to Metropolis pt.1 on crack. They
are so crazy, after 4 or 5 listens I STILL can't follow 95% of what they do.
This is truly thinking man's metal. It goes WAY beyond progressive. All
you hardcore progressive metal types would LOVE them. Check them out:

Subject: Canadian Tragedy
Message-ID: <399FDABE.9F750150@videotron.ca>
Greetings Fellow FT Fanatics!
Canadian Tragedy, our campaign to get Canadian promoters to wake up and
smell the Ytsejam is now entering its last 6 days of activity. I have
not polluted the mailing list with our stuff a lot so I'm taking this
one last Opportunity to let you know about our efforts.
I will not be giving you all the details of the thing. If you really
are interested, you should follow the link in my .sig and read our news
section. But, on the off chance that you are somebody who would actually
go to a Canadian show, and have not had the chance of signing the online
petition, you will be able to do so on our website and I urge you to do
so NOW, before the petition closes down on August 25th. Scheduling
constraints of OFB are telling me that complete versions of the
petitions (Online, paper, stats etc...) should go out to promoters at
the latest on August 28th.
I must emphasize that some northern US states have been overlooked on
both legs of this tour and that, if a Canadian tour does happen, some
Canadian cities might just be the closest DT will come to you on this
tour. As an added bonus, your US dollar is worth 1.5 its original value
in Canada.
Anyways, I'm done rambling here. If you want to help the cause, and
would be willing to cross the border to see DT in all their glory, you
now have 6 days left to sign the petition.
Take care all, and hope to see you at a Canadian venue!
Steve

Heh, actually, if I remember correctly (and it sounds to me like you're talking about the movie Armageddon), not only was he unable to save the space station, but it exploded. :)

Actually, the Russian cosmonaut was the one who saved the Americans - twice! First he unfroze the gravity rocket on the rover vehicle saving the American protagonist's ass (Ben Affleck), then he fixed the American super shuttle by beating on some gear with a large wrench enabling the engines to fire and everyone to get away safely :-)
BTW Ivan your nick "KIL" is strangely ironic to me ;-)
I agree with you that joking about the fallen sailors is in very poor taste, but please don't take that as anything more than it is - bad taste. I remember when the American space shuttle exploded shortly after takeoff and all the astronauts on board where vaporized instantly, the very next day people were making jokes! Q: What kind of wood doesn't float? A: Natalie Wood! Anyone remember that one? I can't believe that Americans are the only people who show a dark, morbid, sick sense of humor.

Man this web site has some great prices and a good selection of concert shirts and hats and posters.. Click on one of the first pictures you see when you get there then go up to the "Search" box and type in some band names. They offer hats and posters and VHS of many bands I searched on.
Good deals on Dream Theater merchandise and NightWish merchandise topped my list. Mainly NightWish since I can't see them tour yet (USA).

Tell me about it. Bruce is something else. He occasionally lives in Hailey, Idaho which it only about 60 miles north of me, but one day I got a flat tire on the way to work and he just showed up out of nowhere and used his magical typhoon breath to not only repair my tire, but fly me to work so I wouldn't be late. He's a great dude. :)
And didn't you know? He took off swimming from North Carolina this morning saying he was heading to the Berents Sea. You should expect him there last weekend. Before you know it, the sub had never sank. -- KorgX3 thinks Bruce Willis is God or something.

Hello all:
First of all, Happy B-Day to Ultraking!
Second of all, I don't know if there are any fellow Kansans on this list, but the Hays News today had an article about a theater in Russell that had been shut down, but is now being reopened. The name? Dream Theater, of course! In case you cared, now you know.
Progressive rock/metal has a very interesting effect on the mind...

A nuclear sub with an empty gas gauge.
SPOILER SPOILER LA LA LA LA LA
I won't bore everybody to death with the details, so I'll make it simple, sweet, and short, and easy for D-Man to ignore :)
HEY! I SAID SPOILER GODDAMN IT!
Web theater was right in downtown Phoenix, next to the beautiful Arizona Center on Van Buren. The exterior was a bright pink Greek revival, but the paint looked new, so hopes were high that it wasn't another Mason Jar (7' high ceiling, no lights, and a band within arm's length). Thankfully, it wasn't, and the seats were taken out of the auditorium so everybody with a General Admission ticket was given just that...free reign of wherever they wanted to stand.
Then Spock's Beard came on. Earlier in the year, I had downloaded an old mp3 or two of these guys, and I quickly judged them to be "tight musicians, but a band I couldn't get into." Maaaaaaaaaaan was I wrong. The whole band came out with a positively super charged energy and BLEW ME AWAY! I'm definitely checking out their album catalogue :)
A MUCH much much much much much much much MUCH better touring band than Full on the Mouth! Spock's rules! Anybody who can play a keyboard by bashing their head against the keys (Ryo) is awesome in my books ;)
HEY! WHEN I TYPE "SPOILER" I FRICKIN' MEAN IT, BUDDY!
After the stage monkeys were done setting up the stage, Dream Theater jumped out of the side curtains and the whole building went nuts. There were some completely psychotic fans, standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. Metropolis 1 starts up and these guys are jumping up and down and screaming at each other like a bunch of cavemen who figured out what fire was. It reminded me of myself when I first saw DT :) *sniff* Aw, the good times, the good times.
This show was even better than the last two I saw...by far! The whole band was tight, I think Spock's energetic stage presence rubbed off on DT because they were all over the place! Petrucci strutted down to the left side of the stage, ran to the right side, cut down the middle, and made me cry like the little bitch guitarist I am. Myung was scarier than ever...I think he's been strength training his fingers or putting them on a diet of cocain-laced creatine because...well...dammit. The security was so tight I regret not owning a handheld camcorder and recording it all :)
HEY! LOOK BEHIND YOU! IT'S A SPOILER!
Okay, here's what I remember of the set list...(the security guy at the stage said we weren't allowed to get anything left on the stage, not even the setlist...a real shame too, I was going to go up there and grab Petrucci's stack) So here goes a set list off the top of my head, forgive me if it turns out that I forgot anything and it's out of order. It was a 2.5 hour set for god's sakes :)
Metropolis Uno Overture 1928 Strange Deja Vu Fatal Tragedy Home The Dance of Eternity The Spirit Carries On Mirror/Lie Under a Glass Moon Just Let Me Breathe Another Day Erotomania Voices A solo from "An Evening with Rudess and Petrucci" Caught in A New Millennium Learning to Live, Mon!
Of course, there were a few muso wanderings (thankfully...who's gonna bitch about Dream Theater improvising? :) ) They did a lot of weird shit to their songs, but it was very enjoyable and very funny. Brush your teeth before you go to the show, Portnoy's gonna be taking a picture of the crowd right in the middle of the show :)
HEY! DID I SAY SPILLER! NO! I TYPED ---SPOILERS--- SOLDIER!!!
Encore was A Change of Seasons ;)
Whoops, maybe it wasn't such a short email after all. Sorry, Merlo. :)
~Eckie's only complaint is that there is NO way Pantera is going to measure up to this quality of a show in a couple weeks...it's going to be hard to go :)
