[QUOTE=scenesfromatheater]So how is it going to be changed, will it be the same thread just re-named, or is there going to be a fresh one?:confused:[/QUOTE]

No, it'll be the same thread. The mods can rename it. I just asked in the Report Problems thread.

The name got changed :cool:

/is going to see Dream Theater tomorrow :D

Dream Theater on Wednesday.....yyyeeessssssssss....I've been waiting so long for this.

I still don't like the MXtropolis part, but its still good.

Guys, that's by far the most forced out of any of the thread names.

I've been enjoying the Live at Budakan cd. They're even more amazing live.

I'm enjoying your avatar.

That's one evil Geddy!

I don't like the LATB setlist all that much...maybe it's just me.

Other than the TOT stuff, there isn't that much to reccommend on there.

/awaits denouncement

That's because Cain screwed up and left out Thread of Eternity, then added it after most voted.

I'm happy with the new thread title.
And even happier about the fact that by this time Tuesday night I will have seen 6 hours of live Dream Theater :D

Neither do I but I still like it. There's nothing from Awake, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulance, only 1 song from SFAM, no A Change of Seasons :(. That was their whoring Train of Thought show.

Yeah, I love the TOT stuff on there, I just think the choice of the other songs is strange...

Only 1 I&W song too...

I like the new thread title. I wish Thread of though won, but this was my second choice.

Yeah, I was going to mention the lack of I&W songs as we;;/

[QUOTE=RNR]Guys, that's by far the most forced out of any of the thread names.[/QUOTE]

If you guys really want, you can have it be "Thread of Eternity." I don't really care one way or the other.

Sorry I forgot it. :(

It's not that bad, actually. Atleast it's better than the Slayer thread title.

I prefer Thread of Eternity, personally... but I'll forgive you if it doesn't change. :)

Sweet title.

Holy Christ, I just watched the commentary audio of Metropolis: Scenes from New York. Here are my comments.
1) Mike Portnoy should never be allowed to direct again. For some reason he thinks all those retarded effects are cool.
2) They are mostly a bunch of dorks who aren't funny when they're trying to be.
3) I would be pissed if I was Myung or LaBrie. It seems like every time they tried to start talking Portnoy would interrupt them and go off on another tangent.
4) Rudess is actually the most entertaining and interesting member to listen to, although musically he's my least favorite. (Leave the shredding to Petrucci and write some decent music for gods-sake. [Oh well, at least he got "Disappear" right.])
5) Was I mistaken or did Portnoy say something borderline racist on there? When the choir comes out he said something like "well, i guess I know where the chicken fried [something] went"

Overall it was pretty entertaining, but those things just really annoyed the hell out of me.

He didn't do one last night I can say that, but non the less, his drumming was superb.

NP: Octavarium

I want a Jordan Rudess Continuum.

My response:

2)Shut up. Myung is the coolest man alive. No question.:cool:
3)I don't think I've ever heard Myung ever try and speak, the only time he does, it's because someone asks him a question, and even then he gives a witty answer like "What you playing there John?", "Bass".
4)Shut up.

GRRRRR... ah well I'm seeing them tommorow standing. I shall be right at the front and will be blinded by JR's bald head.

His beard too... See if you can contain the laughter when he first walks out.
And have fun tomorrow.

My response:
2) Notice that Myung was not included in that statement since he barely ever spoke.
3) See #2. Also, I was mainly talking about LaBrie. There were a few times when he started speaking and was interrupted by Portnoy, although that happened I think once or twice with Myung as well. Also, I don't remember that quote.
4) Shut up? That's all you've got? Dream Theater's my favorite band, but at least I'm not a fanboy who can't accept criticism of them. It's the truth, Rudess may make impressive music, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's GOOD. I've learned that I much prefer Kevin Moore's style. He could shred too, but at least he kept it tasteful and not on every song. Instead, he focused on writing good music.

Well I'm home and hungover from the gig last night and it was pretty great. They played a wide setlist with stuff from every album (and even some pre-[I]WDADU[/I] track that I haven't heard before. Unfortunately, the night was kind of ruined because me and my friends waited outside in the rain for almost an hour in the rain wearing only a t-shirt and a kilt and the band just drove by without even waving :( (Although my friend did wheek up his kilt and flash them :lol:)

Maybe Myung's just shy, he doesn't talk much or move about much on stage.
