So, my Dad has recently tasked me with writing up some drummer profiles for a website he's working on, and there's about 60 to do (hey, at £10 for a two paragraph profile, it isn't so bad). Now some of the drummers I have to write up about are from my favourite bands, such as Gavin Harrison, and some were auditionees for DT, such as Marco Minneman and Thomas Lang, which was a surprise in itself. Today I was researching Matt Steele, and came upon a Myspace page with the same name so I thought I'd check it out.

There was a Wait for Sleep cover.

I'm well aware that it's the wrong Myspace page and all, but I found it pretty interesting that whilst doing something unrelated to DT (as far as I know Matt Steele from Phinius Gage has nothing to do with DT), I will still find something to do with them.

Has this kind of thing ever happened to you guys?

https://www.myspace.com/mattasteele Not an amazing cover, but still alright.

I remember I saw a television programme a couple of months ago about hotels or something, and there was a guy with a DT shirt on it.

Are you in the UK? Did this focus on a foreign guy (think he was Polish) working in the hotel kitchen, but coming in to work drunk etc.?

I don't really watch very much TV, this just happened to be on when I was in the room and weirdly enough it's what I thought of when I saw this thread  :lol
Whoaaaahh, ohhh, ohhhhh. Whoaaaahh, ohhhhh, ohhhhhh. Waaah, ahhh, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaowwwwww

I heard Panic Attack and IWBY in trailers for a very awful tv program in a Greek channel. That was really unexpected.

Songs from Scenes From A Memory in the Dragon Ball Z movie "The History of Trunks". What's funny is, I had that VHS years before I found out who Dream Theater was, or had even heard of progressive rock/metal music outside of a few Rush songs, but I didn't know ABOUT prog at all. I just thought it was awesome background/fighting music.

The San Antonio Spurs use Metropolis as their pre-second half music.

I saw an Awake t-shirt at a Hot Topic before. Never thought I'd ever see that.

Yep, i remember that too. The intro was played every time there was a break between ski jumps. I don't know about different sports though.

Same here. When I first heard "Home" on the movie with the sitar, I thought it was like the most amazing music I've ever heard. Ironic that when my friend first showed me DT a few years later, the first song he showed me was Home. Needless to say, I shat my pants 100x over.

I think I'm going to have to watch that Dragonball Z movie, just to pick out the DT now.

It literally starts within the first 5 minutes with the Home intro. Youtube has it.

I love how the image features a drawing of an attractive-looking woman with short/insubstantial clothing, and all most of us are interested in is the 'ToT' poster drawn in the background.

She's obviously broken into someone else's room.

The Timberwolves used Metropolis as their entrance music. It was rather cool with all the lights down and the Metropolis intro being used over that.

Went to a Kansas City Royals game and they played metropolis. it was pretty shocking, honestly.
Seemed like it was part of their regular game opener too.

I was at a local festival which has a rock tent but is mainly geared towards classic acts (mainly old british punk/new wave bands) and washed up pop acts. Anyway, I was in said rock tent and in between bands they were playing Systematic Chaos on shuffle. Unexpected but cool.

I heard Caught In a Web blaring inside a bar I walked by once...and a number of songs from LTE2 were used as background music at an airshow I recently attended.  That's all I got.

They played TMOLS in a finnish skiing programme many times some time ago.
