favorite album=Train of Thought

favorite song= In The Name of God

[QUOTE=horseman]i really love the intro to about to crash (reprise)....it sounds sooooooo cool. i loves it....[/QUOTE]

i love that as well. especially that perfectly-placed pinch harmonic :smash:
to me, blind faith is the weakest track on disc 1 of turbulence, but that's not saying much because i think every track is strong.
all of disc 2 is amazing, except for TTTSTA for me

ugh

they [i]better[/i] play overture 1928 (fav DT song)

sorry that's not anywhere near the radar :\ but i feel ya, it's my favorite instrumental

Well they did play the whole of SFAM a little while back. So if you're incredibly lucky you might hear it.

That was for the second night special at one of the South America shows. It replaced DSoTM. /most likely redundant

So they just announced a Detroit date for the 20th and I have the day off work and a friend might be interested in going. I just need to see if my parents will let me take the car there as it is in need of new tires, but that will get put off for a while.

About James LaBrie on wiki:
[QUOTE]In 1994, while vacationing in Cuba, Labrie had very bad food poisoning and while vomiting, he ruptured a vocal chord. Two weeks later he had to go on tour again, with his voice not strong and cracking frequently. He went to several specialists who said the damage would take a while to heal. James also had surgery before going on tour. He finally started to get his voice back in 2002 and returned to just about full power in 2005. Many critics unaware of this event have given him much criticism on live albums such as Once in a Livetime and Live Scenes From New York.[/QUOTE]

and for those that didn't know:
[QUOTE]In 1993, he was a first-choice replacement to take over for the departed Iron Maiden vocalist, Bruce Dickinson; an offer which he declined.[/QUOTE]

Wow. That's incredible.

Indeed...he was extremely spot on when I saw him last summer. I never knew that about him.

TOT I really like...this may sound a bit poserish, but I like it for the heaviness of it. It's got a good, almost aggressive feel to it that enhances the music even more.

He sounds fantastic on LSFNY.
I may have said this before, but The spirit carries on live is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard, and James' vocal intro is the best part.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Misunderstood is my favourite on the first disk, but I love the second disk more.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, Misunderstood is ace, but I'd say The Glass Prison and Disapear are the best.

Thats pretty cool about Maiden and LaBrie, I'm surprised he turned them down. I'm glad he stayed with DT, though, what with Blaze still being great and Bruce coming back.

I actually think he's great on Live Scenes, but most of the other stuff I've heard from Five Years and stuff is pretty poor. He seems better than ever now.

Five years isn't brilliant.

and he's a little dodgy at times on OIAL.
But he's good at Take away my pain and hollow years, and I care about those songs a huge amount.

what are everyone's favourite songs on Images and words?

Hey guys, I just saw Dream Theater last night and for thier first encore song they played [B]PF's Sheep[/B]!!! I was least expecting it and I went totally nuts. I love how they just sneak suprizes like that into concerts.

[QUOTE=Captain Quentin]what are everyone's favourite songs on Images and words?[/QUOTE]Wait for sleep, Take The Time, Pull Me Under are my favorites off of images and words.

[QUOTE=Captain Quentin]what are everyone's favourite songs on Images and words?[/QUOTE]

Awesome!

Take the Time's my favourite song off I&W. It's insane.

wicked, i just got it yesterday and was struggling to get into it but i love TOT and 6DOIT

take the time 123 happy

post setlists everyone if you've seen them so far!

It's incredible to think Maiden wanted him.. I love him, but I don't think he fits Maiden at all.

Beast song off I&W and best ever DT song: Learning to Live

[QUOTE=Mr_Bounce]It's incredible to think Maiden wanted him.. I love him, but I don't think he fits Maiden at all.[/QUOTE]
You heard DT's bootleg of the Number of The Beast.
He sounds incredibly like Bruce.

[QUOTE=Captain Quentin]what are everyone's favourite songs on Images and words?[/QUOTE]
Surrounded
Learning to live
Metropolis

[QUOTE=Mr_Bounce]It's incredible to think Maiden wanted him.. I love him, but I don't think he fits Maiden at all.[/QUOTE]

to be wanted by IRON MAIDEN is pretty...coveted by many vocalists i think.

[QUOTE=Mr_Bounce]It's incredible to think Maiden wanted him.. I love him, but I don't think he fits Maiden at all.[/QUOTE]

Actually, he sounds great on their bootleg of the entire Number of the Beast album. Children of the Damned, 22 Acacia Avenue, and Hallowed Be Thy Name are all killer.

Thats awsome, just awsome! What was the rest of the setlist like?

As to the whole best song on I&W thing, I'd say Wait For Sleep/Learning to Live (I pretty much consider them the same song) is my favorite, but they're all good. Its just one of those few albums were every single song is amazing.

[QUOTE=ghettoeddo]to be wanted by IRON MAIDEN is pretty...coveted by many vocalists i think.[/QUOTE]
Yep, it's pretty much the best thing you could hope for.

I went to an amazing show last night! (San Francisco).

Root of All Evil- strong opener
Another Won- awesome song, wouldve preferred "your majesty' however
Afterlife- didnt expect that!
Take The Time- oh, man! awesomeness! didnt expect that from IAW!
Caught in a Web- good choice, wouldve liked 6:00 though
Speak to Me- i was talking to my bud saying how awesome this would be, and they played it!
Peruvian Skies (w/ Wish You Were Here and Wherever I May Roam)- wow.
Strange Deja Vu- a good choice from SFAM
Through My Words/Fatal Tragedy- i thought that was it from SFAM but they busted it out, awesome
About to Crash/Losing Time- this was the #1 song i wanted them to play, and there it was!

intermission

As I Am- another song i was wanting to see
These Walls- (needs to explanation, just plain awesome)
I Walk Beside You- heres a quality song
Sacrificed Sons- this is actually amazing live
Octavarium- it was excellent, with some wacky animations on the screen

Wait For Sleep/Learning to Live- this was better than i thought it would be. they also jammed to " La Villa Strangiato" and "Crossroads"
