    I think at this point the only person who knows what DT's gonna play is MP,
    and maybe the rest of the band. Considering what the band (especially
    Mike)'s opinion was of playing the same setlist night after night after
    night (playing SFaM in it's entirity) I highly doubt that they will do the
    same thing on this next tour. In fact, if they did include the title track
    from SDoIT, I'd be surprised if they included anything else off the new one
    during the same show (except for perhaps the shortest song which is only 7
    mins long).

    Add to this the fact that on the last American and European legs of the
    tour, DT played a 2.5 hour set, so there's a possibility that this could
    happen again.

    One thing I do know for certain: when I met up with MP on the G3 tour, I
    drilled him with questions (go to the official updates section of the Forum
    at www.mikeportnoy.com for a full rundown) and one of the things he told me
    was to hit several shows if at all possible on this next tour, as he has
    some "killer ideas" for the setlists. So even tho you have a life Rob, and I
    don't ;o) make sure you go to at least a couple of shows when DT swings
    thru your area.

    Scott

    PS Tho this is just pure speculation, it wouldn't surprise me if maybe we'll
    finally get to see at least part of When the Water Breaks played live, and
    perhaps the return of some of the other tracks we've been missing, such as
    TKH, UaGM, 6:00, Scarred, LitS and ToT.

    apologies for the two timing, not sure why that
    happened.....but anyway, QR LIVECRIME? Am i missing
    something here? is that being re-issued or something?

    Got the Live Evolution set, and I really like the
    gritty sound of it -- no super studio polish job on
    that set, and it's a good thing, really feels like a
    LIVE sound.

    that's not a rip on DT's live scenes, but just judging
    on the feel of the sound, i like that of Live
    Evolution better.

    For what it's worth, i grabbed the QR from Best Buy,
    and when i passed by the area where DT's stuff is,
    there was a big (11X14??) sign, basically saying that
    they felt that the LSfNY cover was inappropriate in
    light of the recent national tragedy and they decided
    to not offer that item. There was a bit more about how
    the newspaper ad was printed before 9/11, and the fact
    that they reprinted some of the ads, but couldn't pull
    all the ads, and the requisite apologies.

    I didn't ask about rainchecks or anything....

    Awright! Now THIS is what I am personally anticipating. And the new ENGINE CD (early next year?). Both will hopefully surpass the excellence of the previous releases, though the ENGINE ('99) CD was 75% incredible to begin
    with. SfaM was very good, just, imho, not up to the standards of the last CD or two or five. Of course, I may have a new CD (VIRTUALITY 2? Nah... a continuation, maybe...) next year, too. Perhaps DT will be gracious and
    perform pro bono in opening act status for a listening party? LOL. Anyhow... peace.

    Hi,

    listening to Winter Rose the other day I thought about DT for a while.
    I mean, most people who do not like DT mention either the shredding or the voice. Now, neither point got me, but I never actually thought about disliking the voice. I guess it comes from the development of my musical "taste" which went along the lines of Nena, ChrisdeBurgh, Phil Collins, Bon Jovi, Scorpions, all the other hairspray adventures and then I had to work my way gradually to DT, at first considering them to be too hard (same e.g. with MoP/metallica which I now like). Ever since I played the guitar I was focused more on the music than on the vocalist (I know that the voice is an instrument, but...) and now, while I listened to Winter Rose I realized that it is also a hairspray band musically: rock'n'roll
    Concluding I'd like to say that I forgot the whole point while writing, but I never had a problem with james's voice.
    sab

    Wow, Caravan. :) That's an oldie.
    I was blown away by their "Waterloo Lily" album.

    There were many great bands back in those days: Focus, Camel, Caravan,
    .. similar music.
    Anyone suggests some other Caravan stuff, since Waterloo is the only
    thing I heard so far?

    Just got his in a Metal update email:

    JAMES MURPHY
    according to Blabbermouth, guitartist James Murphy (Death, Testament,
    Disincarnate, etc.) has been diagnosed with a brain tumor - Murphy is said
    to be at home in Florida recuperating from a recent operation that
    reportedly removed the tumor before it could advance further - at the time
    of his diagnosis, Murphy was working on a new Disincarnate album with
    vocalist Tomas Lindberg (At The Gates, The Crown)

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    So what is it about the band Death and brain tumors?
