Hey there!

I have been a guest in the DT fourms for about 8 or so years.  I never have registered until now.  What a year it has been huh!

I have been a fan of DT since 95 when ACOS came out.  While i listened to a lot of music growing up it was DT that really changed my thinking what music was all about.  They have been my favorite band for 15-16 years now.  Everyother band that I listened to had to measure up to DT and in a strange way this is still true today.  Not just in prog but in all styles of music.  What I love about DT is the creativity and that is what I expect in all music.

I was saying to my buddy a couple of years ago on how I love their latest records but i felt that the music was becoming a little....predictable.  I was saying maybe they should take some time off.  Not a long period of time, maybe instead of releasing a album every two years like they have been for years, do it in three years.  That would give them a break and be able to do some real awsome demos, take time writing.

Well we all know what happend to that.  I have been a drummer since I was ten years old.  I kind of gave it up until I heard DT.  Mike Portnoy was my biggest influence growing up.  I was shocked like all of you about the news.  It's kind of funny cause I was thinking kind of like Mike in respect to taking some time off.  Not that long.  3 years until a album was released and it would of been perfect.  After Mike left I couldn't listen to DT for almost a year.  I would listen to their solo work but not DT.  It was like a big chapter was closed. Wasn't till the middle of August when I decided to put on SFAM.  But I read this fourm all the time and see all news. 

Since DT decided to move on I had to wait until ADTOE came out to really listen to DT again.  And I tell you it is a really good DT record.  Sounds fresh. Classic DT.  UBMUUBMD is one of the most original sounding DT songs in a long time. Mangini is great and solid on the record.  A new DT chapter has begun. 

So hello fourms.  I will post from time to time.

I think we can all safely say that ADTOE has become an official "Lurker Summoner" for DTF. I join the OP as well for being a long-time DT fan and DTF guest and glad to be here!
