    What do you think about Iconoclast?

    Not my favorite album, but I think its a great album, Love the riffs the keybords, al the sound. That breakdown you mention in Heretic its amazingly heavy, love to pump up the volume in my car when it starts.

    Your musical beginnings?

    I owe my love for music to my dad. He used to play it for me since I was very little, and his collection was great and diverse. I use to liten to classic music (from Beethoven to Gershwin) jazz, blues, country, rock'n roll, swing, etc. He also had a large collection of Mexican music, and...

    Stories put to music?

    Iron Maiden made a song based on Frank Herbert's Dune, and it's one of my fave songs. I don't know if the band likes this kind of sci fi, but I think a whole album covering the complete Dune saga could be great.

    Why Dream Theater?

    The problem is that a lot of people in this forum states his/her tastes as facts, and wants to impose these to others, just read how DT and their fans got bashed in the other thread (that one was long too).

    Your favourite movie?

    I believe Jackson made a good decision leaving that part out. I know a lot of people who complain about the very long ending of the movie, they believe the movie should've end with the scene "my friends, you bow to no one". Of course these people didn't read the novels. IMO Jackson should've...
