James LaBrie on an Australian Dream Theater tour...

[salty]

"I can tell you that with almost 100% certainty that we will be coming there this tour. They're talking about doing four or five shows, and our booking agent is in touch with a promoter over there, one of the bigger ones that are really excited to bring us over, so it's just a matter of finding the time that we can get in there and do it."

[Spruce Goose]

Oh yeah.....

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Please have two shows in one city, please have two shows in one city *prays*

Anyway to save to see them all!

 

[Bucko]

Cool

 

[Stonewall]

yeah, they put on a good show... i'm much more into them now than the last time.

How about two shows in one city, and that's it.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

And make them in Sydney

 

[mattt]

As much as I try, I just can't get into the new Dream Theater album.

 

[salty]

That's a shame because it's fucking brilliant

 

[Cryptor]

Awesome news!

I just hope it's not in the second half of next year.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Doubt it would be.
I'd say by the 2nd half of 2008 the tour will be done and dusted.

 

[salty]

Look for when they hit Japan/Singapore/Indonesia...it'll most likely be around then.

 

[FerretallicA]

*touching myself*
I kinda lost faith a bit after Portnoy's grand announcement at G3 last year and seeing the tour dates for the rest of the year gradually filling in with overseas bookings... that interview just made my day

 

[Southy]

how is Ozprog gonna afford to bring them out

 

[Winmar]

There's a fair chance they're going to Indonesia, (where, admittedly, they have a shitload more fans than they do here), so I'd say there's a fair chance they'll come here too.

 

[Spiff]

For those interested, their new album debuted at 23 on the Australian charts.

Not bad, not bad at all for a band the average person hasn't heard of.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Fuck. That's mad

 

[Icarus]

Wow 23 is a mighty fine effort.

 

[Bucko]

Crazy indeed for this genre of Music
