I got DT in a local commercial!!
« on: May 14, 2010, 04:22:53 PM »
OK, so those of you that know me know I write for Newsday, a daily newspaper in Long Island, NY.  Anyway, last month they were filming around the newsroom for a series of new commercials for the newspaper that will run on local TV.  The commercials started running on air today and the main one has been posted on YouTube (see link below).  If you pause it at .35 seconds, you see the corner of my cubicle on the right side of the screen where I display a poster flat of DT's Awake cover.  Yeah, baby!   :o

That's subliminal shit right there. When people see this commercial they will be all like "Who is this Kevin Moore I suddenly started thinking of?"

Somewhat like the hypnotoad?

Jesus Christ himself* comes down amidst a choir of 2 billion angels singing Handel's Hallelujah chorus. As KrotchRaut shred randomly on guitars made of dragon bones using picks made from God's kidney stones, Jesus heals a blind woman who promptly gives birth onstage to a creation of pure light.

*Yes, Jesus Christ himself. Nothing less will do.

Setra, I think that is the best statement I have read on this forum.  Very well said.

KM left the company, they hired Derek Sherinian and they fired him when he started wearing feather boas at work.

Haha, you guys crack me up.  In my cubicle, I also have a DT poster flat for Images & Words, Scenes From a Memory and Systematic Chaos, as well as Porcupine Tree's Fear of a Blank Planet and Queensr˙che's Hear In the Now Frontier.  There's also a random college of album cover print-outs under the glass top on my desk from Rush, DT, QR, OSI, Chroma Key, Fates Warning, etc.  My cubicle is a tribute to prog metal!

I've got a huge Majesty symbol as my PC wallpaper and some of my co-workers ask me wtf is that?  I just tell 'em it's a cool symbol I found somewhere   :P

I didn't know that! Cool. I can't load wallpaper on my work computer.... Most of my work passwords are DT related and I have all of their tour dates written in on my desk calender.

The only music related thing I have hanging is the Dio obit from the Boston Herald.


Mebert..Nice job!!
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol
