RUSHHEAD666 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 QUOTE (The Owl @ Aug 25 2009, 12:09 PM) Tick, they will most likley be playing different cities when they come back through on the actual BC&SL tour in the spring..... I am hoping to be in Austin by then and see them in either Austin, Houston, San Antonio, or Dallas.... any of those locale would be drivable for me... That is if I am down there by next spring... I hope so. Dream Theater will be in my neck of the woods this Thursday. I scored front row center so I will be watching this band's every move. Portnoy better not spit on my wife or I will bum rush the stage. LOL! Actually the last time I brought my wife to a DT show we had front row and Petrucci showered her with guitar picks. I think I took home about six of them. She's my "Pick Magnent." LOL! Anyway I can't wait to write my review on this thread. I'm hoping to rip this band apart but then maybe, just maybe they will blow me away like the used to do back in Nineties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's recorded, I know it's "planned" for 2009, but no other news has been heard since April.... I'd imagine that the mixing is being done right now.... or are they holding off until Portnoy can be apart of the finalizing? That might be a while since DT is on tour until mid-December. I heard from MP.com, the end of the year it would be released. I don't think any other info has been given Guess we got the answer to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 QUOTE (tangy @ Aug 29 2009, 10:40 AM) Well Earl, how was it? http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp29/ytsejams_inc/2009%20Audience%20Shots/20090827-SanJose.jpg Tangy!!!! That's awesome dude!! You actually posted the picture! We were right in front of John Myung so we didn't get in the picture. I took a ton of pictures with my iPhone though. I'm not a rocket scientist when it comes to posting pictures on a forum but I will try at a later time. There is no doubt that being in the front row surely does enhance the concert going experience. Well were do I begin? I know I have irritated a lot of you over the three years since I've been on here about bashing DT. It's all in fun really. I like "SHOCK AND AWE!" Let's see, those lyrics come to mind when I think about my love and hate for DT. "DARK TO LIGHT, LIGHT TO DARK, DARK TO LIGHT, LIGHT TO DARK." That's me! I haven't seen DT since they toured with Queensryche. I actually loved that show. Anyway some things never change. I loved the opening song of course because it's my favorite song on the new DT album, A Nightmare To Remember." Well over the decades of seeing this band I have never been that close to Myung. I love his six string bass. The dude plays effortlessly. I still think he needs to turn up the volume when he plays but the dude is fantastic. One thing I noticed is that John never looks out into the audience. He is one serious dude. Rudess is non-stop off the charts man. I noticed the 52 inch Samsung flatscreen he has behind his synthesizer system. Very cool. Wizard hat and all! We actually have that same flatscreen TV in our office. I have some great pictures of Jordan playing that what's it called? Synth-guitar? Dream Theater came out with a BANG! No need to comment on Petrucci's playing. The dude is a human Text Book for the guitar. He has more wizardry in his guitar playing than there is in "Lord Of The Rings" "Harry Potter" and "Dungeons And Dragons" all put together as one! James sounded great although my wife Wendy had one complaint. She's more into the singing aspect of Dream Theater and was tired of seeing James leave the stage all the time. She wanted more singing. Well guys, she's into 3 minute pop songs too. Not 20 minute epic tunes that we enjoy. As for Portnoy, my main target of fun I have to say that I loved those two metallic octobans in the center of his kit. Heck Mike actually played on them a lot. Yes, I have a passion for octobans. Portnoy, Phillips and especially Stewie Copeland. Anyway I thought it was cool that Mike wore a Golden State Warriors jersey. Stephen Jackson. Number 1, but of course. Neil will always be my Number 1. I thought the set list was solid with only a few lulls. You know me. I'm old school DT. I wanted to hear a bunch of stuff off of Images and Awake. I know bands like this need to keep evolving and growing, hence they don't want to pull out all the old stuff. Bummer. My faith in DT has been restored, yet they are so much fun to tease on a Rush Forum. LOL! As for ZAPPA PLAYS ZAPPA I thought those guys were totally off the charts. That drummer blew my mind. Dweezil is BEYOND UNDERRATED!!!! He has the gift from his father that's for sure. Oh and the dude on the vocals, very cool. He sounded just like Frank. My favorite song of the night by ZPZ was "BROKEN HEARTS ARE FOR ASSHOLES." "I'm an asshole and you're asshole too!" "ram it, ram it ram it, ram it up your poop shoot." The joint was cracking up. I haven't heard that song in years and I own "Sheik Your Booty." Time to pull it out and play it. Damn I like to offend! Just like Frank Zappa. R.I.P. RUSH ON!!
