I have always thought the intro to Innocence Faded would make a good ringtone, don't know why. I think Overture 1928 when the band comes in would be cool too.

I had the the guitar solo from IF as my ringtone before and it worked wonderfully.

"Take all of me
The desires that keep burning deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me strength to face another day
I am ready
Help me be what I can be"

My ring back for the longest time was Caught in a Webs chorus, but the end of Metropolis Part One "When the leaves have fallen.." to the end would work well.

i think hes looking for the best of dt, not the craziest.
however point noted tds unison is  :metal

problem is, if i had a dt ringtone, i would wait for the ring to end at least once before answering.

Opposed to this, I think Innocence Faded Outro can be an awesome ringtone.

I'm using the part of The Best of Times when all the instruments enter in the beginning. That works.

Home's riff, prechorus, chorus, or solo sections would work well. Or the outro unison. OR! The Blind Faith solo section, any of it. OR THE GLASS PRISON RIFF. Ok I'll stop.

if you want to grab your attention instantly... try THE MIRROR intro... it used to be my ring tone as well as my alarm clock tone.. or set up sometimes for sms tone..

If I was going to do this I might choose the keyboard solo at 12minutes in Octavarium.

For a long while I used the intro to Metropolis, pt.1.  Has a ring-ish tone to it.

I actually use the intro to Solitary Shell for my ringtone, and it's actually pretty great for a ringtone.  It's not too jarring for others to hear it, but it's still a cool acoustic pattern and makes me happy to hear it every time I get a phone call.  Not to mention, people around me generally like it and ask about DT as well   :D

How about "New Millennium?" The intro kinda sounds like a ringtone anyway :lol

Or, if you really wanted to annoy people, the intro to their cover of "Stargazer."

RIght now I'm actually using the beginning 30 seconds or so of "The Spider" by Kansas.  Good, fast-paced.  My son loves it.  I actually had a customer of mine recognize it!  I was surprised, as not too many people could recognize it from only a second or two.  Unless they are big Kansas fans.

Is it wrong that I have the Darth Vader theme set up for when my wife calls me?

Use the piano intro from "Through My Words."  It is soft, it is nice, and it won't scare the hell out of you every time your phone rings.

I have LaBrie singing "message" from 'The Silent Man' ("Or a message with no receiver?"), funnily enough as my text message tone.  Well worth it, despite the occasional funny looks folk give me when it goes off...

I used to use from the acoustic break in Octavarium (you know the one in the instrumental section where the acoustic does that little riff alone) until about 30 seconds past that.  I always enjoyed it.

I had the James Bond theme as my main tone and it scared the hell out of me every time someone called.

that's a scary choice.

as some of you mentioned i prefer the acoustic guitar cords at the beginning of solitery shell.

oh, i got it. the most suitable DT song for ringtone would be the creative distinctive keyboard solo riff (i don't know how to categorize it), i think it would be advisable to choose the section played by derek sherinian in that bootleg birthday album.

Who cares man..

Anyway, I made a few for my iPhone over the years. I think it's time for some new ringtones.
• Learning To Live - outro
• Misunderstood - from beginning
• The Best Of Times - 8:49 when JLB says, "that carried me for miiiiles." That part, except it's the instrumental version of the song that came with the special edition
• V. Goodnight Kiss - 1:51 Beautiful

Haha that is my ringtone right now. Always gets some attention on the bus. For when I don't want to scare the public though I change it to Selkies. My text tone is the first 2 seconds of Mordecai, cut it off just before the vocals start. It's awesome
