^the link expired. reupload?

something i just stumbled upon: Comedian Bill Burr i guess is a Porcupine Tree fan.

At 24:30 he talks about Porcupine Tree and reads an email suggesting Cynic, Death and Black Dahlia Murder.

Nice! I was already a huge fan of Bill Burr, and that is awesome to see that he loves great music as well.

People need to download this. It's amazing!

Its one of the best pieces of music I own! This should have had an official release. Bills voice is so extremely powerful, the guys in DT were floored when they saw him live before asking him to audition. When I played the demo before this one for Portnoy he was stunned. So when I , along with Mike, JP, John and Kevin went to see him live they were jawdropped that his voice was as powerful live. They really wanted him for Images and Words but for reasons that I'll leave private, it didn't happen. Anyway, enjoy the Dominion demo!

Yes. I met Portnoy at a Metal Church, WASP and Accept show after WDAU was released, we became friends. Hung out with them for a few years then it just faded. The last time I spoke to Portnoy and Petrucci was after a gig on the Awake tour when Derek was pretty much still learning the songs. I can't remember what song it was but they stopped, told Derek what he missed and they restarted it. After the show they were signing outside and I hung with Mike and John as well as Rena and Marlene. I did speak to Rena at the Score show, shes such a nice person, always was. After that, life got in the way. JP is truly one of nicest dudes. Myung and Kevin Moore were very much to themselves, more Myung honestly. I remember going to a DT rehearsal for a second time and Kevin was getting out of his car next to me and asked why I bothered going, like it was boring. Lol! But it was fun getting asked what song I wanted to hear during practice. Remember, all they had was the demo and WDADU, ACOS original version and Metropolis early stages. Good times. My first request was Light Fuse and Get Away!

Behold The Despair

Holy fuck, I just downloaded it and sampled this track and this fucking rips. This dudes pipes are insane and I love the mellow solo in the middle. The bass is incredible too. This sounds fantastic Tom. Maybe I'll just come over Tom and you can record me.

This song reminds me definitely of older FW, even Arch era with the vocals and even Brent's band he pimped Elegy. I get a lot of those sort of vibes. Reminds me of something else too which I can't really put my finger on. I'll check out the rest hopefully tomorrow.

I'm glad you like it! Its from the early 90's and still holds up. Bill has massive pipes. I LOVE older Elegy! Labyrinth of Dreams, Supremacy, and Lost are incredible albums!

This kind of blew my mind. Interesting collaboration. I had no idea Joe Elliot was a fan of Ghost but apparently they are fans of Def Leppard. Check out this video.

Rest in Peace #TomVerlaine of #thebandTelevision .

I knew about this album for ages, after seeing it in @rollingstone Top 100 Influential Albums from 1967-1987, when I bought the issue the Summer of '88?.

I later learned they were sort of the quintessential "Art Rock" band in some ways, and then I finally got around to listening to the entire Marquee Moon album a couple of years ago and concluded it totally justified its "classic" status.

RIP Tom Verlaine, the singer/guitarist and frontman of Television.

^Yeah Marquee Moon is a fantastic album! R.I.P. Tom Verlaine.

I'm not really a fan of The Pineapple Thief, but this tune, despite the Radiohead element in the 1st half, I was reminded why the last couple minutes, the OUTRO is gorgeous.

This is more meta and not entirely musical, but I've increasingly been thinking about how really DTF is a collection of overlapping separate forums. There are people who only really go into specific sub-forums or even into certain types of threads, and some of these people never really wind up interacting with each other. Just a few of the major divisions are general discussion, music discussion, DT-specific, probably P&R and the other sub-forums, roulettes, the what album are you listening to thread, etc. There are people with sizeable post counts who you rarely see outside of one or two of those types of sub-forums or threads. I'm sort of one of them, really.

But the beautiful thing is, you can step outside that any time you want. I spend most of my time in certain areas, but every once in a while I venture out.

I rarely post outside of the General Music forum, but I do read others when I get bored.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #240 on:** April 12, 2023, 10:33:09 PM »

yeah I notice that too. Especially when I see a name I haven't seen in years post, and then it turns out, they post regularly in General Chat but rarely in General Music Discussion.

I have a habit frequently getting the most out of discussion forums in Music that is everything but the Primary band the forum/group is for which is kind of fucked up, lol.

I'm noticing some similar things in FB Groups and Discord Channels.

There is 1 forum I'm on which just has a "New Posts" link that is for all posts in every Subforum, which I'm not sure, but might actually be something that would be good for this place.

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #241 on:** April 13, 2023, 12:06:25 AM »

Yea it's a weird one. Over 90% of my posts are in the General Music Discussion part of the forum. I posted in the Dream Theater section a few times when I first joined, and had periods of posting in Polls/General Discussion.

In my head (although probably not that accurate) I see the 'What Album Thread' as the main place that everyone (who at least posts in General Music Discussion) frequents. Like, everyone is going to dip in there at some point, and most people will see my posts.

I am not really a fan of Rush or Iron Maiden, so never take part in any of the convos over there. There will be huge discussions/jokes/arguments that just completely passed by. I truly love this place and have started posting a bit more in General Discussion at the moment, exactly because I will end up interacting a bit more with members I often miss.
