Yeah, I'm one of those 1989'ers.  Blob's arch nemesis.
I see both sides, and I've seen bands do it both ways (for example, Kansas just celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2014, 40 years after the release of their first album).  So for me, it's up to the band, and DT appears to have always considered 1985 to be the anniversary.

1985 was indeed when the band was formed so I have no issues with using that date.

Do you think there is any foreshadowing in those designs? These guys are pretty cerebral and generally have much thought and purpose
with these kinds of things. Did someone just propose this design or is there calculated imagery there for interpretation?

I wonder if that'll be the theme of this summer's tour.
Quote from: wkiml on June 08, 2012, 09:06:35 AMwould have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Quote from: Stadler on February 08, 2025, 12:49:43 PMI wouldn't argue this.

It may be just me.....but I think there is something big coming our way this summer
from the band.  :tup
Or I'm completely wrong & just ignore this post.  ;D

It would certainly fit. Also, I really want DT to come back to Toronto this year :)

I don't think it matters how many people in the band vote for a certain date because quality over quantity.

I was under the impression that this summer's tour was limited to European festival dates.

Which means they could still have a setlist composed of their "greatest" songs over 30 years, I suppose.

I don't see why it necessarily has to be "greatest."  Just bring Chris Collins out onstage for a song and call it a day.  Bam!--30th anniversary complete.

That would be a trainwreck I would fly over for.

Maybe they could still announce a one-of-a-kind "An Evening With.." show for late autumn..

But I think the summer festival tour will include PMU and couple of other hits and James will say that they are celebrating 30 years of music. I think this is the case but I really hope could bring on some surprises!

A ha.  The new DT album will be their swan song(s).  The lyrics will be a big FU to the fans a la Never Enough.

He might just be passing to the A. It could still be salvageable!

A guitarist that doesn't like G?

When followed by the word "spot", I'm all for it.

Strange deja vu.  I thought I was in the "moaning" thread again for a second.

Calvin6s

Look how low he is playing on the neck.  Obviously that means this will be a ToT heavy album.

Major update. MM just posted pics of him assembling a new kit.

erwinrafael

Ooops. Apparently old pics, not an update. Sorry about that.
