Dream Theater: The Astonishing (now with moment of betrayal!)

Actually... Imagine was written by Jordan Rudess and sold to Lennon.

I have a feeling that "Clock Guy" (AKA the Boba Fett of the Astonishing) will be revealed tomorrow

May Petrucci hear you.

I'd prefer 30 seconds of another track than a picture.  Don't give a crap about "Clock Guy", TBH.

I prefer Clock Guy than nothing at all, lol.

Not sure if anyone's said anything about this, but I'm 99% sure clock guy is Ahrys and Gabriel's brother.

If we go back to the first Ahrys email, he says he's one of three remaining heirs to the Legion of Sorrowful Song. He and Gabriel are obviously the first two.

[CodyWanKenobi]

Don't know why they would wait this long to reveal char8 if he didn't have some greater significance than just being the last character. I do think he is going to have a pivotal role in the story somehow.

[Vandalism]

He told in the stream there's a Montreal-based visual company that's doing all the visuals for the tour. Any ideas what company might that be?

Maybe its.........

Could it be that the will of Petrucci for this album was to create their own "The Wall"? Or maybe HIS own...

[thosava]

Maybe Clock Guy is The Astonshing. I'm calling it.

[|KirK|]

We've been talking about the clock guy since the first days "The Astonishing" page was revealed... This could be another reason!!

[SkiFiX]

The clock guy wear jeans and a t-shirt. He look quite different from the other characters and he's probably a kid.

[BlackInk]

However clock guy will look, that will be the face I'll forever associate with hadi-persian.

And the theory suggested above that clock guy may be Arhys and Gabriel's younger brother is perfectly valid.

B.Lee

Edit : btw, the shadow may be suggesting he is big-headed ( ), but I guess that what we see is the shadow of wireless headphones. Given the pic, he might be a teenager. OK, now I have a theory myself : Faythe looks also like a teenager. What if the love story was between her and Clock guy, a love story a la Romeo and Juliet amidst a war between two opposing factions? After all, JP is a fan of Shakespeare as shown in Pull Me Under, no?

[lucasembarbosa]

Clock Guy is a girl... There are 4 male characters and 3 female ones. She could be Arhys daughter or something like that. I think today we'll have not only the Clock Person revealed but also the "Places" button unlocked. Let's see what's next...


Edit: B.Lee, I think that the main "love story" could be between Gabriel and Faythe, but that's something we'll find out soon!

I don't have much cause for optimism on these "I think today we'll have..." posts. The boy who cried wolf and all that. We've failed miserably so far on just about every prediction about this album. I think the only one some of us got right is that it's a double concept album.

The album release date draws closer, so with every day the odds of it being correct increase, right?

18 more guesses then right?!

[Pax]

My prediction is that the clock guy actually is the Chosen One, and Gabriel is the evil guy

If there's no news today, I'll eat my gentleman potatoes...

I will hold you to that. And I will demand video as proof.

[Kotowboy]

I won't watch that video but I will take Blob's nerdy word as proof.

[BlobVanDam]

I won't watch that video but I will take Blob's nerdy word as proof.

I'm thrilled to know that you trust my word on all things related to gentleman potatoes.

Well you have more free time than I to devote to the intense study of such things....If you were so inclined...

We need them to.  Don't know if they need to.

Regardless, 29-11 = 18 

[thosava]

There will always be someone who doesn't like an album. Even the most "objectively good" albums. It seems like he doesn't like TGOM or the album. All the others have said that if we liked TGOM there is a good chance that we will love the album.

And on where Dt ranks among his favourites bands.
It's just an opinion, and of course a legit and respectable one, but we could have expected not more than this.
