That was a nice story.

I've always wondered why did they choose to put the Burning Heart all along the I&W era (Pull Me Under, Live at the Marquee and this), and whether or not it's inspired by some religious symbolism, since it's almost identical to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (And if it has something to do with JP being Catholic and everything).

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

You just ruined one of the greatest fantasies ever.  Fap-kill.

DT could do a little documentary (yes, another one) for their 30th anniversary, where they talk with all the people that once appeared in any of their artwork or videos; this girl from I&W, the guy from WDADU cover, the old man from the silent man video, some of the people from the Hollow Years video, the cast from LSFNY videos and maybe some guy from the AROP video.
Anyways, it would be cool to see something as miscellaneous as that.

I guess I found the photo you guys were looking for over at the "Woman in The Looking Glass" thread.
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.

Don't forget the boy from A Change of Seasons!
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

I always thought he was a younger version of Portnoy... maybe it was done on purpose.
People in Tuscany are never going to lure you into their wine cellars and drown you in wine barrels, you know.
Or that’s what they’ll make you think.

I was wondering the same until I found this:

(from gabbo.net Dream Theater FAQ)

"What does the burning heart symbolize?

According to Portnoy, it was original keyboardist Kevin Moore's idea and essentially a copy of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The barbed wire represented obstacles and difficulties, the heart endurance and strength, and the fire their energy and passion."
