Want to be on the New Dream Theater album?

I'd do this if I had the gas and wasn't moving over the weekend...

"Hi gang,
Do you live near New York City?
Do you want to have your voice on the new Dream Theater CD?

If so, I'm looking for a group of about 30 or 40 people to do some "chants" for a section of one of the new songs...and I figured it be fun to offer the job to a few lucky fans!

Here's the deal:
At 2pm this Friday January 26th, we will let a group of you into the studio to do some yelling for us...

The place:
Avatar Studios - 441 W. 53rd St (between 9th & 10th Ave)

The time:
We will open the doors around 2pm.
**DO NOT** arrive any earlier than 1pm which is when the line will form....
(fans arriving earlier than 1pm will not be permitted to line up outside)

Depending on the turnout, we cannot guarantee entry to everybody.
It will be based on first come, first serve.

You will be needed for no more than an hour, so you will be able to leave by 3pm.

**DO NOT** bring cameras or recording equipment....any found will be held at the reception desk while the session takes place.

**DO NOT** call the studio for information.
This is a place of business and they are getting annoyed by the constant phone calls coming in about this...
Everything you need to know is already on the first page of this thread!!!

Alright, c-ya some of ya on Friday!
MP"

From what I heard on the radio, they need people to do some "live crowd" type work.

If anyone makes this, let me know how it goes!

wow, awesome!

i can't make it or anything, but...someone go!

 

[sh0kr0k]

I would love to be there!

Too bad NYC is a good ways away from me.

 

[Kenneth R.]

zzzzzzzz. This is a fanbois thing. oh well, I hope the album is good.

 

[kellsco]

A couple of my good friends are meeting up in the city for this. They wanted me to fly out, but without being guaranteed a spot, I'll save my miles for another NY trip. If I was on the east coast and not the high desert mountians of New Mexico I'd for sure have gone to this.

 

[dtfanatic]

Same deal for this Florida boy. We would've died in that weather they're having tomorrow though, Kell.

 

[BlindPanzer]

I wonder who will be the person to travel the farthest for this.

Oh I already anticipate a bitchy phone call about how cold it is and how much their lives suck once they get into line.

I wanna do backup goblin metal vocals.

They said on the news today- any exposed skin can get frostbite in 30 minutes or less. There is a possibility it might be as little as 5 minutes depending on the wind chill.

I hope they bring lots of coffee/ hot chocolate and a wind screen!

Well, I could make it if I wrapped up working fast enough, but I'm not standing out there in that cold for ANYone. :zombie: Lotsa luck to those that do! Hmmm, my hubby works on 44th. Maybe he should take a late lunch.

I'm so going to do this. I've always maintained I can sing better than LaBrie. Here's my chance to outshine him on a DT disc.

I think this a cool idea to get the fans involved, even in a small way. I wonder if they will credit every individual person in the liner notes.

LMAO, you never cease to be a dick....

Way too small. They don't realize there'll be at least 500 people showing up for that.

We should put Labrie on American Idol! I wonder what Simon would say about him. Oh, wait I know!

"Rubbish!"

[Wyvern]

Hmm it's today. Wonder if I still can catch a plane to NYC

 

[BABS]

Zod's post was hysterical! Even the response to his post was funny!

I'm in New York (not the NYC part though), but I'm here to tell you it's beyond freezing today and if I could have tunneled from my house into my office without touching any outside air - I would have done it!

It's frozen nose-hair cold today!
