I'm glad for the most part they answered all the questions too.

I really hate those kind of things where the band in question just piss about and don't answer anything or give deliberately stupid or short answers.

I've just finished to watch it... it was fun! Thank you to all the people involved in the organisation of this chat. I don't think that I've seen other chat with all the members together before. It was really nice to watch them having fun and I think it gave us the chance to have glimpses of what happens among them behind the scenes  :tup

only an hour and a half to go till I can watch :JayOctavarium:
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

Shame about Anna Lee. I'd love not only to hear that live, but to hear them write songs more like that in the future.

Wow.....just watched the playback and was happily surprised to hear (2) of my questions asked and answered!

:squee:

Thank you Mods for trusting those were good enough questions to be asked.


The lyrics on this album have a very spiritual feel and mood. Was that intentional or just a by product of where the lyricist is spiritually as an individual at this stage of his life?


1. Is the band aware of how revered John Myung's lyrics are and does that put any pressure on him when writing them, or the band to dedicate a song(s) to his lyrics?

WOW - I'm so proud that my first ever interaction with the band was annoying all 5 of them with my question about medleys!  :biggrin:

Still, the fact that they had so little to say on the subject answers it pretty well for me. Thanks to the mods for including my question even though it was late and for making the whole thing happen, it was really enjoyable to watch and listen to.

I hope it can be made possible again - I'll make sure I have better questions ready then!

Also, I didn't get the ''Merry Christmas'' joke that was being repeated by James throughout the chat, anyone care to explain it to me?  :smiley:

I mean, I've been around these parts as a member since 2005, and as a mod since, I guess, 2007 or so, and that was just amazing. 
Same here, but I thought you were already pretty established when I joined, which was autumn 2005.
Oh, I was.  I joined and started being an active member in February 2005 (although I lurked for a loooooooonnnnnnnnngggggg time).

I was already receiving worship by probably July or August 2005.

And then you showed up and ruined everything.

You couldn't see it, James had another Google window open, so every 10 minutes or so another James LaBrie would join the conversation and it would appear at the bottom window visible to us. The first time it happened JP said it looked like a Christmas ornament and I was calling it the backing vocalist.

Ah, so that's what you were talking about.

I did occasionally see a pic of JR holding his keytar thing in place of JR himself.
