Moshing at a Dream Theater show

I believe that was a one off live thing, Perfect Strangers, but not a studio event...and even then, that was on a fan club cd only, if I'm not mistaken...
:Spin:

Umm not sure, but I've got a dvd showing Bruce in a studio, headphones on, singing that DP song. As I remember he even looks over at the camera and shrugs his shoulders.
 
I was listening to the first album tonight on the way to the Cynic show (which was AWESOME by the way), Jaime just happened to have it playing in the car. And I tell you what it is a good Rush album. They should have kept the singer, what was his name Danny"Bonaduce?

Charlie Dominici was the original singer. I honestly wasn't a fan of his vocals on the first disc, but I did like the official bootleg they released with him back with the band live. I also like his Dominici band, which has a DT type sound.
 
Dream Theater opened up a whole new realm of music to me back in 92 and set me on the path to the bands I love (and come to PP every year to see) today.

I still go to shows.
I still buy the discs.
I still support them.

What they have done in their career is undeniable and so is their talent.


I will not shy away from the fact however that the band today is not the band I fell in love with. Truthfully when I mention DT, in my head I think of DT from When Dream and Day Unite to Scenes From a Memory. THAT period.

Rudess is talented as hell. But I miss the Moore and even Sherinian days. I miss more than two people writing all the lyrics (the odd Myung songs are among my favorites - Lifting Shadows off a Dream - amazing)

Hell one of my fav tunes of the band is the EVE instrumental and that was mostly Kevin Moore.

I understand the negativity leveled at them by some and that is any music fans right as an individual. (just as I do not care for a handful of bands mentioned regularly on this forum)

In the end, whether you like them or not, for what they have accomplished, especially in the musical wasteland of the mid to late ninties, they deserve respect.

IMHO, Black Clouds was the first serious step in the right direction in many years although there are still things that bug me about the album. Whether you can deal with the lyrics in Count of Tuscany or not, you cannot deny Petrucci's playing on that tune, especially the moody slow portion near the end. Just top notch emotional playing.

But I have conditioned myself to the fact that I won't ever get 'that band' back - the one that I initially became such an insane fan of.

Anyway, just 2 cents from an observer.

Well said, sir.

That said I think I'm going to mosh at the concert when the local symphony orchestra plays selections of Led Zepplin :rolleyes:

as long as you aren't listening to the music like those people in the video are obviously not listening to DT.

what they didn't show i bet is the same people later moshing to Iron Maiden or just passed out from intoxication. i also bet the ratio of shirtless dudes goes up astronomically as the pit progressed through the night.

but again, what can you expect from drunk people out on the lawn drinking beer and watching the show on a jumbotron?!
 
i personally love Charlie Dominici's vocals on When Dream & Day Unite which is why it's my favorite DT album, but i am usually the odd man out when i state that. haha, which i am fine with.
