How well do YOU know DT songs?

[snapple]

I've been playing a little game lately (mostly because mrs. and i are unemployed at the moment) she tells me which song she's playing (in headphones that I'm not wearing) and tells me when she starts. At any given time she gives me a nod and I tell her which part of the song it is. So far, I'm 11/11. The first few I had to kind of hum the song along to get it, but once she started picking some of my favorites I tried to get myself more distracted from the song and was still able to achieve it. We do the same for her with the Beatles and Paul McCartney discography and she is flawless.

Well, I can't imagine too many people have done that, so... I'd LIKE to say I know them just as well, but as of right now, I have no way of proving it. I need to get myself an unemployed wife!

Sounds like an interesting game! Would it be too easy if one person said a single line from any DT song and the other guessed the song?

I remember when i was with my ex. we were laying around one night and she had one head phone in and i had the other. she would play a DT song and with in like 3 seconds i guessed every single one.. that was fun she was pretty impressed haha.

In college my friends loved challenging me to Name That DT Tune.  They could cue up any random song on cassette tape (yeah college was a ways back) and replay one or two seconds, or sometimes just a rapid flicker.  I was pretty solid at identifying the song correctly.  My friends were deeply amused at my skill (and thought I needed to get a life outside DT).

I don't think I could do this very well.  And I'm not particularly ashamed, to be honest with you.

Some I'd know right off, others I wouldn't.

snapple, that sounds like a great test! I'll have to try that.

It really depends. Anything from SC, not very well at all. On the other hand, anything from SFAM and I&W, VERY well

[MajorMatt]

I've done a similar thing on occassion where I've had a song on in one room, left the room for a while then re-entered to find in my head I'm in the same place as the actual music is.

[Phoenix87x]

Anything from WDADU up to TOT, I pretty much know by heart.

     SC Not so much, and BCSL pretty much not at all.

I do that a lot at work. Sometimes I'll have to go retrieve towels or something for a guest, and I'll hum the music to myself all the way there and back. More often than not, I'm spot on (and that's not just Dream Theater, either).

Probably like 85% of their material I'd know right off the bat... the other 15 I wouldn't be so sure.

[JayOctavarium]

These are my people ^

[Metro]

I'd know everything except most of the Majesty Demos.

[darkshade]

I could do any song from any studio album, though there might be a couple on WDADU I might not be 100% sure of.

For us bootleg experts, a fun game would be to identify the live variations of certain parts of songs.  For example, JLB's vamping in the climax of To Live Forever...  pretty sure i could identify the snippets from "Dance of Eternity" "Live in Tokyo"(DVD) "Lords of Sound," etc.

Also, sections of Killing Hand would be a cool test -- for example comapre the line "A FRIGHTENING STILL!" from Home Sweet Home or Images & Tour 92 (Japan).  So memorable...

[Implode]

I'm almost to the point where I can count the last part of the instrumental section of Metropolis without listening to the song. That's tough.

[clinks63]

i'll know what will be the next song right after another when listening to albums..(i rarely listen to a single song)
