Dream Theater Word Association Game!
« on: December 12, 2014, 02:35:42 PM »
How it works:

This is based off of "before and after" style clues on Jeopardy. The correct answer will be a combination of two separate things which combine to form one phrase or idea. At least one of the ideas has to be DT-related.

Example: This Dream Theater front man developed his own take on this soft, cow's milk dairy product.

Answer: What is James LaBrie cheese? (The answer is a combination of James LaBrie, and Brie cheese.)

Another example: This boxer from PunchOut listened to a SDOIT song as he constructed his new jailhouse.

Answer: What is The Glass Joe Prison?


I'll start if off with these:

$200 - This former DT keyboardist teamed up with the band Extreme to make a remix to their hit ballad.

$400 - Judas Priest teamed up with DT on their latest DVD, where he was unreasonably searched by the police.

$600 - Anthony Kiedis performed a cover of DT's most popular song to a homeless man beneath an overpass.

$800 - Dream Theater created a new medley, which combines a song from ToT and a song from Octavarium.

$1000 - Current DT drummer's guilty pleasure is a pop song from singer Christina Aguilera.


Good luck, and make your own for others to answer too!

$200- Kevin Moore Than Words

$400- Breaking the Fourth Law

$600- Under the Bridges in the Sky

$800- Endless Sacrificed Sons

$1000- Mike Mangini in a Bottle

Great work!!!

However, the $600 question is a bit off. Read the question a bit more carefully, and I'm sure you'll get it.

Only one of the two things listed in your post is horrible, and it's not the Arnie movie. :biggrin:

Very close and while I suppose that answer fits the question, it's not entirely what I had in mind.

Yes it can definitely be tough!

I got a cryptic one: A snippet of DT lyrics, which they lifted from Rush, sung by Greg Lake.

and another: Butters Stotch's favorite DT album, alternatively, since it's basically the same idea involving a different album, but comes out nicer: Butters' favorite live album to listen to while on the road

Here's some more:

$200 - An NFL team gets together to watch a popular movie about football, and they watch it "over and over, scene by scene".

$400 - A fan decides to watch DT's most lowly-received DVD, and the camera movement on screen causes the fan to throw up.

$600 - While listening to one of DT's most well-received albums (on DTF, at least), a fan becomes dizzy, and has discharge from a certain part of the body.

$800 - During the live set of DT's most metal album, they decide to perform an older song about schizophrenia. (Hint: One is an album, one is a lyric)

$1000 - DT performs their hardest (most metal) song from Octavarium, and the fans oddly begin dancing like John Travolta.

DAILY DOUBLE: Mike Mangini has been acting very feminine lately...
