DT-Side Chat Thread v. The Blu-Ray is out so I changed the friggin' title

[Whatsername]

It's been like 4 months since I began listening to Dream Theater religiously. The reason I asked though is because I can't run (bad knees) so I'm relying more on weights to tone my muscles, and I need metal or really heavy stuff to pump me up.

[wasteland]

Well, then The Mirror, Lie, Home, The Dance Of Eternity, The Glass Prison (bleh), TOT, TROAE, The Dark Eternal Night, Lost Not Forgotten and the heaviest of them all: the acoustic cover of a Rush song: Tears.

[Whatsername]

I think I have all those. Except for Tears.

[wasteland]

Try Oh Holy Night too! It's such a metal song and James even hits a full G5 one the second to last line back in 1992. (Youtube to believe)

[Whatsername]

Are there mp3s for these available? How does one get these?

[wasteland]

Well, I suppose the mp3s exist somewhere, but the only legal mean to acquire them is through the 1999 International Fan Club CD release Cleaning Out The Closet. If you have a spare 100$ (or at times 70$) you will be able to buy it on ebay.

ETA: no MP3 for Oh Holy Night (which is not metal at all, I was just goofing around ), it's a live recording.

[Whatsername]

No I don't. xDD Oh well. I'll stick with the other ones you listed.

[TheGreatPretender]

He was being sarcastic. Tears and O Holy Night are slow, acoustic songs. I'd be more likely to fall asleep than work out to them. 

[wasteland]

In my defense I can say that James did actually hit a full high G in Oh Holy Night

[JayOctavarium]

Well it's not Dream Theater but Black Label Society's S.D.M.F is a great workout song

[TheGreatPretender]

Actually, I think Overture 1928 is a great workout song. It's got an upbeat tempo and it's very major, so it fills you with inspiration and positivity. Or at least fills me with that stuff.

James LaBrie's past 3 albums are great for working out, too.

[BlobVanDam]

These are all terrible suggestions for a workout. The discarded B songs from FII aren't even great songs, let alone great workout songs.

Just put on Eye of the Tiger like a normal person.

Don't listen to him! He's a cangaroo!

This guy can't even spell! Don't listen to him!

[TheGreatPretender]

Eye of the Tiger is one 4 minute song. You can either listen to it and have it only last you 4 minutes, or listen to it on loop, and get a half-hour's worth of exercise out of it before it gets old. Might as well fill the rest of your time with DT rockers.

Hey, I was barely awake and I got confused with the Italian spelling!

For the workouty thing, try this (don't worry, it's from the official channel of the people who play it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZpEjrdf56k

It does have a lovely calm bit in the middle, but most of it's really quite driving, percussive and completely mad rhythmically.

[BlobVanDam]

I don't understand you people at all.

Moving to my new home today

Cool, where are you moving to?

His new home.

A more detailed answer: to Tampere. We're on the way there with a van full of my stuff. My apartment is on the fifth floor, so it will be challenging to get my bed, desk and everything else there and I bet I'll be pretty tired after the experience...

[King Postwhore]

I don't understand you people at all.

TELL THEM BLOB!!!

I'll still have to wait at least one year before living on my own, but best of luck to you!

Thanks! We got all the stuff into my room and my parents went back home. I have a room mate so I'm not completely alone, but of course this is different from living with your family. I'm happy with my room, but I have to admit it makes me sad I couldn't take my CD collection with me Well, I'll buy some records (obviously including the new DT album) later

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Why couldn't you bring your CDs with you?

[Sketchy]

I imagine Ville has the problem I had in Uni. Too many CDs to bring with me if I'm likely to move each year.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Maybe you guys have more CDs than me. I have 200+, and I brought them to college with me.

[Sketchy]

I have a book case.

[?]

My collection is pretty huge and there's no room for my big CD rack here. Maybe I'll take the smaller one with me next time I visit my folks.

[Onno]

That's cool Ville! Too bad you couldn't bring your CDs. I've lived on my own for 2 years now, and my CD collection is at my place. It's not that big though, only about 120 CDs, but that's cause I've only been really listening to music for about 6 years. Before that, I only listened once in a while to some songs on the radio that I thought were good.

A milestone in the countdown to DT12 happens tonight, as we enter September, the release month! Acknowledge!

Yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhWSzY7erPA#t=106 (after the rain stopped)

And I was out there in the heaviest rain I've ever seen driving at 20km/h without being able to see the other cars (only lights) or the edges of the street. I was indeed quite frightened, and moreso because my parents' plane was about to land in that mess.
