Will we get the news on New Years?
« on: December 31, 2010, 01:55:58 AM »
It could just be my wishful thinking, but after my wish for a 6am Christmas announcement didn't come to pass, this is the second best thing.  So I say YES
"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A. G. Sertillanges

i wish but probably not
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I think they will wait until sometime during january to reveal who the new drummer is. Probably right after they have entered the studio i think.  ;)

No

The guys / management / record label are going to get slammed with media calls and need to be available for the press when the announcement is made, and I doubt they would do that on a holiday.

OK, then. 
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
