Love DT and I was impressed by their cover of Xanadu.But it didn’t give me goose bumps.Any way a neat little interview but it could have been longer (but not as long as The Astonishing)

Man...I freaking HATE LaBrie's style of replying to questions. I don't know what it is about this guy, but he seems somewhat detached even when he's clearly passionate about something. I know he's a huge Rush fan, but I just didn't feel like he expressed it well enough. He usually seems so bland and nonchalant about things...does anyone else get the same vibe from him?

I totally agree Rod. James has always been the weakest link in Wet Dream Theater. A band I loved up to "Awake." Dream Theater sucks.

 

Don't waste your time interviewing LaBrie Cheese.

 

You are a first class act dude. Don't be bothered with talentless tripe. LOL

DT's version of "Xanadu" is garbage.

 

Would rather listen to Olivia Newton John sing "Xanadu."

I'd rather listen to her sing with John Travolta!

 

Grease is the word buddy!!

 

James LaBrie Cheese Packet and Mike Deport-Annoy have more grease in their hair.

 

Both are short midgets.

 

One has no vocal talent who proclaims he can still drum.

 

The other one is a disgraceful spiting camel piece of shit who has no class on a stage.

 

I can't wait for Dream Theater to retire and call it out "IN THE END"

 

Love,

 

RUSH

 

A real band.

 

FUKK DREAM THEATER!

 

Even the band name is like watching a Hollywood movie.

 

FAKE AND PURE JUNK!

It's pretty cool. It's my favorite from this set of covers. They're up to the challenge I like their version of Tears better though. Might be better than the original.

I liked it Pat but it was too short. Priest should have headlined. That's all.

 

Geez,

 

I need some time to think about the perfect Priest set.

 

Anything up to Screaming. Then add "Painkiller."

 

I want all old shit.

 

You know me Pat, I will never change.

 

 

I am not a "VICTIM OF CHANGES!" LOL!

Defenders was a great record growing up as a heavy metal kid but today it's just too polished. Then they really shit the bed.
