Dream Theater

[ATC]

Nooooo, Mike Portnoy's laying down the drums for the new OSI.

Not Sean Reinert :( :upset:

But nothing's up on the site. Hmm. Ze plot, eet thickenz.

[GenuineImitation]

I was amazed today to find out that the head of music at my school is a genuine DT fan. I saw a DT dvd in his office and spoke to him about them. Cool.


Thats pretty cool. I have yet to find a DT fan in my school.

[ghettoeddo]

Opinions, opinions...

I couldn't have Octovarium AND ACOS in the set, that would be ludicrous
And there is no liklihood of there ever being a live version of space dye vest in there.
I was also being representative of varied albums...

Riddler- given they are my two favourite DT albums. GET THEM BOTH!!

right they're opinions.
but this is a "fantasy setlist" if you will eh? so space-dye vest is perfectly reasonable in a hypothetical setlist. and you can't say ever...:upset: that's just disheartening. maybe KM will have a change of heart one day.

That was funny.

"What about the Korean Guy?"

"No One listens to me anyway."

[TheLastJoECool]

Thats pretty cool. I have yet to find a DT fan in my school.

Well you have me. I am trying my hardest to covert the world to listen to their wonderfull music.:chug:

[ghettoeddo]

yea i've tried too. most people can't seem to like them, because they prefer music they can "sing along to" and music where you "don't have to actively engage with it." "nice simple, easy listening."
direct quotes from friends.

i guess that's...kinda true?

[GenuineImitation]

Well you have me. I am trying my hardest to covert the world to listen to their wonderfull music.:chug:


yes, I did convert you, but you dont go to my school.

:lol: that was brilliant.

[GenuineImitation]

IbanezSamurai, where did you find that?

[badtaste]

Very nice. These were the set of photos that the peeps at dt.net were making captions for. Perhaps, someone got bored.

Edit: actually, I saw the ending. It was made because of that thread at dt.net

[IbanezSamurai]

IbanezSamurai, where did you find that?


I found it on MP.com, but yeah it was originally made on dt.net forum

:lol:

That was hilarious.

[ghettoeddo]

poor james...he really isn't that bad. i doubt any of us (the MF community) could do much better.

then again, that comparison ain't fair either.

wasn't he asked to fill in for bruce dickinson upon his leave? that's indication enough that he's pretty talented.

oh btw, classicrockman...
any chance ur going to the phoenix DT show march 6th? :]

[KeysOfKarn]

LMAO, that video was freaking hilarious. poor james, he really is an awsome singer, but it that video was hilarious regardless.

yeah, i have like 2 friends who are DT fans. all my other friends get all bent out of shape because they cant mindlessly headbang to their songs. i love how abstract they are, its just mind boggling.

"can we skip to the good part? pwweeeeeeese?"

EDIT: ill be at the pantages theater march 10th!

[nowitzki]

Oh my god... Petrucci's gone emo!

That was funny.

Me and friends are slowly getting everyone to like DT. It's cool.

That pic looks really odd. He should grow his hair again.

Young Petrucci.

[Lord Abortion]

Screw that guy who wrote that.

Labrie is the best part of the band for me.

NP-Octavarium

[ghettoeddo]

i prefer petrucci w/ shorter hair. am i the only one?

[Ventriloquist]

lol no, he definitely looks cool with short hair....

[Mr.Metalton]

Lebrie is a good singer but he looks kinda funny. why are good canadian singers look funny for some reason.

[classicrockman]

i prefer petrucci w/ shorter hair. am i the only one?
Nah, he looks alright.

[Mr.Metalton]

either way short or long hair Petrucci kicks ***.

[ghettoeddo]

amen

[Ventriloquist]

either way short or long hair Petrucci kicks ***.

lol yeah

[bwnstl]

Haha, I just re-watched most of Budakan today. Every time that my hate for Jorden Rudess fades away I end up watching the first half of his solo on that DVD and I just hate him passionately again. Granted, the last half of it is f'in AMAZING, but goddamn I hate the first part of it.

so I just saw and bought the official dream theater Number of the Beast bootleg an hour ago! has anyone heard it? it's pretty awesome so far

[Mr.Metalton]

Dont Under Estimate the Rudess's bald powers, its like invincible to all who opose it. so i wouldnt **** with Rudess if i were you.

Yeah its great, LaBrie is awesome.

[heavy metal kid]

The only thing i heard was a rehearsal of HBTN, and it was on the Bodukan DVD, James was pretty good.

[jez_]

i missed their concert last night :( they were playing in singapore and i couldn't get a flight ticket. probably going to be awhile till they play in SEA again...

i was looking forward to hearing them play live too. what does LaBrie do when Petrucci is soloing?

[3rdplanet]

He dances.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah its great, LaBrie is awesome.
LaBrie is ALWAYS awesome.

It's one of the facts of life, didn't your parents ever discuss it with you?

[Happy]

i was looking forward to hearing them play live too. what does LaBrie do when Petrucci is soloing?
Either goes off stage or shakes something.

[IbanezSamurai]

He also likes to spin around while Petrucci does his solo.

[GenuineImitation]

Oh Im not under estimating Rudess's bald powers. I just know some people think he looks funny with his bald shiny head.

so I just saw and bought the official dream theater Number of the Beast bootleg an hour ago! has anyone heard it? it's pretty awesome so far

I have that album. Its very good, but I like the original version much more.

[Ventriloquist]

I think Jorden Rudess is an amazing keyboard player. I didn't like him but I do know.. after I watched the bonus material of Budokan.. um the Keyboard world of Rudess or something like that

[Tyr]

I must say that he seemed to be alot more sympathic than I thought he would be.

[bwnstl]

What dont you like about him. His talent or his bald shiney head?

Oh he's talented, but the first half of that solo is just cheesy bull**** with him ****ing around with stupid sounds and facial expressions. Of course, after that wanky crap, he goes into the amazing part of the solo that gives me goosebumps, but I just wish I didn't have to sit through the first part.

What solo were we talking about again?

[eighty d]

Rudess's solo spot on the Budokan DVD. And I agree 100%. For such a talented keyboardist, he can sure put together a shitty solo sometimes. His tone in the first part alone makes me cringe every time I hear it. And the fact that he's just wanking around with no structure or progression doesn't help either.

The second half of the solo, I absolutely love. It's a measure of how insanely good that part is that it can make up completely for the first part in my mind.

and now rudess has improved to add the power of a breath-taking beard to the baldness of invincibility

to people who have been to DT shows: how hard core are they about staying in your seat if you're on the floor? also, what's your best method for sneaking a digital camera in (not a camera phone)?

to people who have seen DT on this current tour: how much octivarium do they do, I know it's like the "20th anniversay tour" but it's not that long since 8vm was released? am I going to get screwed out of some of DT's great tracks to see 4+ 8vm songs? I really only like panic attack, never enough and the root of all evil

seeing DT on March 17th!

I have some of the same questions because Im seeing them April first.

They may open with a few Octavarium songs, but I think the majority will be classic DT songs.

[temporary]

so I just saw and bought the official dream theater Number of the Beast bootleg an hour ago! has anyone heard it? it's pretty awesome so far

Yeah, LaBrie owns on Hallowed Be Thy Name.

[Lord of Sword]

when i saw them in october, the first set opened with the root of all evil, as did all the gigs i think, and then never enough, but the rest of that set was just working through the albums up to SFAM. i can't remember exactly what they played in the 2nd set, but i think they played panic attack, sacrificed sons and octavarium from the new album. those 3 were alternated with different songs at other gigs, and sometimes replaced with non-8vm songs like learning to live.

i would have preferred some other tracks too, especially instead of sacrificed sons which isn't the best live song, at least not until JP's solo. i was hoping for learning to live instead but they'd already played that at the previous show in london.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, LaBrie owns

[gillygan]

Hehe, i just got Train of Thought and Scenes from a Memory. ive only listened a little to train of thought and it kicks arse. My favorite 2 are "This Dying Soul" and "Honor Thy Father."

yeah, ive heard 22 Acacia Ave. and Hallowed Be Thy Name from it...

i actually think HBTM was pretty average...22 acacia ave they did better.

I'll be pissed if they wont play in Atlanta.

Lebrie goes off stage and plays !!Mortal Kombat!! during the solos just so he has another good talent. he dosent wany to stand out there for 15 minutes while the other guys are soloing or doing instrumentals, he wants to go rip 3D guys heads off and beat the crap out of opponents in !!Mortal Kombat!!

I hope they come and play in SEA soon. I really want to see them too.

that tatoo is total fan dedication

No, I'm not saying TSHF is bad, he stopped singing certain songs when he became Christian. But still DT have been religious all along so I doubt they'd not play any songs because of bad lyrics.

I think it's OK, I mean it's up to him what songs he plays...
If he doesn't feel comfortable playig it... it sucks that it's your favourite though, that's why you're bitter :p

I would be pissed off if he decided to stop playing Tornado of souls...

Uh...this is the Megadeth thread, right?

Too right. Can't believe his fingers can keep up at that age. :p

What type of guitars does JP use now?

[6-String_Slinger]

The last tour they did in Japan they played ALL of 8vm.

Dude, I'm seeing them March 17th too! In Minneapolis too, right? were are your seats? I got row 7

ARGH!! if i have to listen to all of 8vm I'll be pissed. i mean i'll be ecstatic cause DT is playing but that leaves off SO many better songs. I'd rather see falling into infinity all the way through. It may not be liked by a lot of DT fans but it is far better than 8vm.

i got screwed on tix. the ticketmaster web site said they went on sale at noon on saturday jam 28th, but then for the hell of it i checked the site friday the 27th at like 8 o clock and they were on sale! i freaked and ordered as quick as i could. I'm in ro R so number 18. oh well, should still be good. Any help on getting a camera in??

[6-String_Slinger]

JP uses his ernie ball music man signature guitars

Don't know. JP also uses Music Man, also Steve Morse uses 'em. They're becoming quite popular.

The JP signature ernie ball music man is not a bad guitar really. i played one at Guitar center and it really is nice and fast.

yea same thing happened to me, i got row 25. but hey it's better than nothing eh?

i really want that musicman 7-stringer but it's $1800 easy where i live *sad*
i guess ill shoot for something else cuz anything is better than a squiere strat *sadder*
and a vox AD15vt *emo*
life sucks.

anyway, i doubt DT can keep up w/ their own songs. i give em 10 more years tops.

i dont like to deal with ticket master either to be honest. especially when theres an old guy trying to see how the computer works.

he switched i guess due to "contract differences" pretty much one party disagreed with what the other wanted. John is totally into his EBMMs now and has repeatedly claimed they're better than his ibanez signatures.

A guy at the music store lent me a few Dream Theater cd's, he wanted me to borrow some live albums, but I didn't want them, at least not until I buy all their original albums first.

Anyway, I have "A change of Seasons" with a kid on the cover, I heard most of them were cover songs, I haven't heard it yet, but is it good?

[nowitzki]

The title track is incredible, a true epic.

The other songs are live covers from a show in London, and are pretty cool.

Its great, as long as you dont mind 24 minute songs. The covers are pretty good also.

ok taht officialy marks the only DT CD i dont own.

haha i sleep in math class to the beginning of 8vm and wake up several songs later.

I have a question. Is there any moshing/crowd surfing at a DT concert? I highly doubt it but I dont want it to ruin my show.

[nowitzki]

I have a question. Is there any moshing/crowd surfing at a DT concert? I highly doubt it but I dont want it to ruin my show.
When I saw them it was all seated, there isn't usually any moshing as far as I'm aware usually. Are you sure you're show isn't all seated?
Whys everyone suddenly becoming so uptight about moshing? Its hardly a new craze.

We'll its my first metal concert, but I have been knocked unconscious at a mosh at a local show. I wasnt even in the pit. I figured DT wouldnt have one, but I dont want to be in a coma for a few hours again.

EDIT: Just checked. My show is all seated so I dont have anything to worry about.

[nowitzki]

Whoa, what happened? You must have taken a pretty big hit.

[GenuineImitation]

Whoa, what happened? You must have taken a pretty big hit.


The local band was a thrash band so there was a large pit. I was standing there with my friend and as I turned to ask him what he thought of the band, I got struck from behind. From what I was told, a second pit was formed and we were in the dead center of it. Someone must have thought I was willingly in there and went for me.

I was only in it for about an hour and I got 48 stiches. I am actually very lucky it wasn't worse. I have nothing against moshing as long as there is a defined pit. I may go in from time to time, but I would much rather listen to the band then get a broken bone. I can go do some stupid stunt in the backyard if I want to get hurt. I dont need to buy expensive tickets to do so.

[ghettoeddo]

haha good reason. only been to one show so far where tehy had actual moshing and i didn't really like it. got kicked in the head way too many times and came back home with bruises everywhere.

and yea DT shows are seated and no one moshes/crowdsurfs. because they're all too busy gaping at their awesomeness :O

[GenuineImitation]

Do people just stand there or do they sit? Its hard to move around in a seated venue.

[The Cynic]

What is a good Cs to get by DT? I have Images and Words, but I want more.

the wolverhampton gig wasn't seated, and during songs like the glass prison, peruvian skies and the intro to the root of all evil everyone was jumping about, but there was no pushing or anything like that.

I shouldn't have to stand on the chair. Im 6'3'' and 190 pounds. I'll probably break the thing. If its a seated venue, I doubt there would be a mosh.

I wish they'd hit my town. That'd be the sex.

I wish they'd hit my country. Nuff said.

[scenesfromatheater]

^Unlucky. They'd better play more older stuff next tour 'cause they played to much 8V this one.

[nowitzki]

That's what bands generally do when they are touring for an album.

[Lord Abortion]

It would be great to see them play a sensible place over here next time.

[nowitzki]

They played two dates in London... and Wolverhampton is a pretty popular place for bands as well. Its not as bad as Children of Bodom only playing in London and Bradford... I mean, who plays in Bradford?!

[Jondur]

Who plays in Bradford? Well practically every rock and metal band that plays to >300 < 1000 people. It has a decent sized club (Rios) and probably the second biggest metal scene in the country. When I started to go to gigs bands used to properly tour the UK playing small towns etc. now they play London and then maybe Bradford or Nottingham if you're lucky.

[Lord Abortion]

I have my Train of thought T-Shirt on.
Go me :cool:

It's the design opposite As I am in the insert.

[Happy]

Must get DT shirt.

There are plenty of places more popular than Bradford, you'd expect a band like CoB to play somewhere like Birmingham, Manchester or Nottingham.

[Happy]

Yeah. Why would they play to between 300 and 1000 people. It'd make the gig intimate but I don't think they were aiming for that.

[Jondur]

There are plenty of places more popular than Bradford, you'd expect a band like CoB to play somewhere like Birmingham, Manchester or Nottingham.

There's a bigger metal scene in Bradford than any of those places. Trust me I've been to gigs in practically every city in the country. Bradford is a dump but it's metal central.

Yes I think you've downloaded another bands work who have disguised it as DT. It happened with me and songs off ToT.

[DaveTheAmazing 2.0]

Yes I think you've downloaded another bands work who have disguised it as DT. It happened with me and songs off ToT.
But these songs are simply fantastic. I have heard The Spirit Carries On, and it really sounds like the guy.

[Happy]

You're version of The Spirit Carries on is probably legit. It's just songs off Train of Thought and Octavarium that was disguised.

[Happy]

I don't know, probably not. You should buy the CDs though.

[ghettoeddo]

haha where did THOSE lyrics come from? no DT song has lyrics like those. sorry man. but don't be discouraged, you should still go out and get some. you won't be disappointed.

well...maybe. but hopefully not :]

[Happy]

I've heard some of the stuff that's meant to be ToT stuff. If he's got stuff by the same band then it's still pretty good stuff. I thought it was DT with a different singer.

Me too!! I didn't get how someone classified that as Dream Theater.

[Mr.Metalton]

where the hell did u get bongos from As I Am i mean i dont hear bongos in the begining i hear myungs bass intro.

[ghettoeddo]

because someone mislabeled it and they hadn't heard the song before?

or maybe that was sarcasm...

[DaveTheAmazing 2.0]

Yeah so I found out who I've been listening to instead of Dream Theater. It's "James Labrie". Anyone heard of him?

Edit: haha on further googling, I have discovered he is DT's singer. Wow I'm retarded.

[Happy]

It's his solo stuff?

[DaveTheAmazing 2.0]

Yeah. It turns out my version of "The Root of All Evil" was actually James LaBrie's "Crucify", and my "Octavarium", actually "Drained". I've checked darklyrics.com, and these songs are on his album "Elements of Persuasion". Have you heard any of it? It's very good.

[Happy]

I haven't hear dit but if it's LaBrie's solo album it's probably good.

[Triangle]

I have my Train of thought T-Shirt on.
Go me :cool:

y'all really need to check out james labre's solo stuff. i'ts great.

[Quickdrop]

Most people never put Lie on their "songs you should download" list. I love that song.

[3rdplanet]

Lie is a fine tune, it's true.

[GenuineImitation]

Lie is a great song. I guess it gets over shadowed by songs like Voices and Space Dye Vest.

[IbanezSamurai]

I didnt like Dye Vest, yep I said it!

[Rounder]

I don't like Lie because of the lryics, and the way they are sung. 'and you can tell your stepfather I said so.' I believe its the only time Ive ever heard stepfather in a song. I didn't like it. In fact Id probably rate the song a lot higher if it just didnt have that part. the breakdown solo part is great.

[Rounder]

I didnt like Dye Vest, yep I said it!

my fav on the record next to scarred. the end jam in scarred is one of the best dt jams ever.

[Quickdrop]

I just found the video for Lie on video.google, never knew they made one. It looks like MP is using a Mapex kit in it :(

[Rounder]

What's wrong with a mapex? My brother has a DW custom and a Mapex Orion and he plays the Mapex more.

[GenuineImitation]

The only drum kit I have heard of was Pearl. Im a drumming noob... Im guessing Mapexs is pretty good.

[Mr.Metalton]

I like Lie, but The Mirror is better. I think the Mirror has more feeling to it.

[NicetoKnowyou]

Do they ever play A Change of Seasons in concert? ( sorry off topic)

[GenuineImitation]

Do they ever play A Change of Seasons in concert? ( sorry off topic)


They did on their Once in a Livetime cd. They wouldn't play it all together. They woud open with the Crimson Sunrise, play a few songs, then the next part, then a few more songs. This would continue until they played The Crimson Sunset.

[temporary]

Do they ever play A Change of Seasons in concert? ( sorry off topic)

Yeah, they play the whole thing as an encore on Live Scenes From New York. Its an increadible performance.

Np: Scarred

If you like The Silent Man, check out Awake. It has a Mind Within Itself on it which is three songs that do together and The Silent Man is the third one. Also it has some great songs on it. If you like DT's more heavier stuff check out Train of Thought and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, their most heaviest albums. Of course get Images and Words which is their best CD and Live at The Budokan, which I am told is their best Live DVD, I haven't gotten it yet.

Oh right, never knew that. I'd get it but unfortunately I need to raise £80 a month for a trip to Russia and nowhere will employ me until the end of June and the end of my Exams.

[HazMan]

Thanks people. I like their mellow stuff like The Spirit Carries On as much as the heavier fare like The Glass Prison, they are a truly amazing band from what i have heard. Took a bit of warming up to though.

[Happy]

Yeah, I have to say when I first heard them I was heavily into 'Tallica and I found them boring but after a while I began to love them.

[GenuineImitation]

Of the cds we listed, you really cant wrong. You'll love them all.

[Quickdrop]

I like Lie, but The Mirror is better. I think the Mirror has more feeling to it.Mirror is great, but personally it got really old quick. It doesnt have the variety of the other DT songs, it basically sounds the same the whole way through.

And btw, i dont dislike Mapex. I just prefere Tama (since i own one).:thumb:

[ghettoeddo]

Yeah, I have to say when I first heard them I was heavily into 'Tallica and I found them boring but after a while I began to love them.

tallica--> dream theater.

im glad i made the switch.

waht is this thread doing on the 2nd page? im disappointed guys ;)

[Happy]

I'm so glad I didn't stay a Metallica fanboy. I still know loads about the band but I realised they're not the best band about by far and that DT are an example of a better band.

[Romanticide]

right at the end of Scenes from a Memory...when u hear the TV on...it is Nicholas right?

sorry just needed to know.

and also...is it just me, or in the 8th minutes of home, is there not some chick moaning in the background?

can someone explain?

[Happy]

The end with the TV in the background is Nicholas yes.
The chick moaning in Home is Victoria because she is having an affair with that guy's (i can't remember the name it's either The Miracle or The Sleeper) brother.

i like lose yourself. dundundundundundundundun you betta lose yourself in the music you own it etc.

problem is, she only likes the cheesy ballads by dream theater like hollow years. and she thinks his voice on I&W is annoying and too high. you know how it is...they hear the opening acoustic guitar/piano intro "YAY THIS SONG IS PRETTY I LOVE IT!"
of course, like in the case of misunderstood... :thumb:
i prefer singers like james, dickinson much more than your SoCo, fall out boy, mae girly singers. they can't even vibrate T_T

There is nothing wrong with reading the Bible. Now I don't belive in organized religion but even I have read the bible for fun. I many not belive in some of the stoires or ideas in it but it still gives you a lot to think about.

[Mr.Metalton]

yeah theres nothing wrong with reading the bible. but translating it into todays terms is actually pretty funny. Like i was listening to my pastor (yes i go to church and yes i do learn something from it), he would read the passage and look at everybody while everyone was puzzled by not knowing what he was saying then he would say, "Its a good thing dont worry". then everybodys faces would be like phew, good.

[ghettoeddo]

^ haha your pastor = cool.
my church is freaking conservative and all strict about things. i was late to church once by 5 minutes cuz i stoped at wendy's for lunch and i got chewed out by the choir leader and the pastor.

dont let yourself be offended by being called "bible thumper."
in this day and age, it's cool to read the bible for fun. you're smarter that way.
isn't "in this day and age" a band?

Tell her "so what." I read the Bible sometimes also. Tell her it makes you happy (Im guessing it does) and she should respect that. If she really loves you, she would accept you for who you are. Not how cool or in style you are.

[ghettoeddo]

why is it out of style to read the bible? geez.

Dream Theater being religious makes religion cooler.
aaaamen.

but the whole DT being "religious" kinda goes against in the name of god?

OH yeah ,dont worry lol she loves that I read the Bible lol, she says it makes me "Unique" but yeah, latly we havnt talked bery much and tis dieing between us lol. And ya. I too don't beleive in organized releigion, I find that jsut about all religions now a days are jsut hypocrites claiming they are correect and other religions arnt, whihc is a sin, so im a conservative in religion, and I dont paln on becoming a religion, I have my own beliefs and theories that no releigion can accept. so yeah , I like it that way lol.

Ill be at the pantages march 10th.

whats cool about this show is that its their 20th aniversary. they are going to play such an incredible variety of music, its goign to be amazing. i respect these guys because they've managed try to appeal to many different genres thruout their career. you would never guess that "the answer lies within" and "awake" is the same band. horray for musicla diversity! Rudess is one very inspiring keyboardist.

Would anyone be interested in buying two tickets to Dream Theater in San Fran March 11th, 2006 ? These are general admission tickets (floor), which are now gone at ticketmaster outlets.
I live in the Los Angeles area and it is just too far for me to attend. I was too excited when I bought them and I am already going to the Hollywood show on March 10th.

So turns out the version of As I Am I have been listening to for the past year+ isn't the real version (Although seriously, the lyrics are "As I Am!"), I got Live at Budoken, and the real version of As I Am (Obviously...), I can see what you guys mean about LaBrie trying to rap now, very bad effort on his side.

But still, this version of As I Am I have is pretty good, I definately thought it was Dream Theater (And still probably do!), so if anyone knows who does it, that could be cool....

My version is 3:34, starts off with some cool ambience, then breaks into crunching riff, with a sort of 'solo' or interlude coming off through guitar, then breaks into another 'solo' before the singer starts singing.
There's lots of cool guitar effects during the verse.... The singer tbh sounds a bit lower then LaBrie in parts (I always thought it was Portnoy :/)
There's a bass solo before the end (I always thought Myung :()

I actually prefer the guitar in this song to what I have heard from the Budoken As I Am.

My version is 3:34, starts off with some cool ambience, then breaks into crunching riff, with a sort of 'solo' or interlude coming off through guitar, then breaks into another 'solo' before the singer starts singing.
There's lots of cool guitar effects during the verse.... The singer tbh sounds a bit lower then LaBrie in parts (I always thought it was Portnoy :/)
There's a bass solo before the end (I always thought Myung :()

I actually prefer the guitar in this song to what I have heard from the Budoken As I Am.

Im not really sure, but I can give it a listen if you want.

My guess would be Superior - Not With Me.

I can upload it, but where should I upload it to?

It's a very good song, and if the band who does this song has any more work like this, I can definately see a new favourite band!

It's probably by the same guys who did the version of This Dying Soul that I thought was the real thing for a while. Some guy posted who it actually was a little while back.
