Let's say you get to interview one of the guys of your choice. You can ask 5 questions about whatever you want, and you're guaranteed a straightforward answer. No question dodging. You're not a representative of any community, website, or company. You're a representative of yourself. What kind of things would you ask about?
I'd interview JP, and ask:
- How do you balance being a touring member of a band and being a family man?
- What are your top 5 DT songs?
- As an adolescent, how did you balance many hours of practice, a social life, and school?
- What is your favorite food?
- What is Metropolis Pt 1 about?!
-
Jordan - When you look at photos or videos of when you had hair, do you think to yourself "I can't believe I used to look like that"
-
Mike Portnoy: "How are you doing man?"
-
Charlie Dominici: Tell me everything you know about aliens and conspiracy theories.
(If this makes no sense, it's because you're not friends with him on Facebook)
-
^so true haha :rollin
-
Charlie's a weirdo with all the conspiracies. Argue with him about it and he'll call you weird and threaten to de-friend you :lol
-
To James:
-Dear James, why on earth did you cut your hair, say you loved it, and then suddenly grow it out? Because you cutting your hair was possibly the most traumatic thing I've ever had to go through. Including deaths. Yes, even more traumatic then dropping my camera in the water the day before my birthday after my mom specifically told me NOT to get it wet. And everything else traumatic that has ever happened to me. More traumatic then all of those.
-Also, do you have a dog?
:lol

Yeah, he's hilarious :lol No offense to him, of course. He's just silly sometimes.
-
Sometimes though, I don't know if he's just kidding about it all.
-
I would ask JP:
When you were writing Awake, how did you come up with the ides of incorporating different parts of the songs in other other songs. I think that is one of the coolest things they have ever done, and I never hear anything about it.
And then I'd ask him to play so fast that my face melts.
-
To any current member.
Mike Portnoy; great ex-member, or the greatest ex-member?
/Colbert.
-
I would ask Petrucci what it was like working with Mr. Child.
-

:lol I can't even remember what I said! I haven't read DTF all day, so I have no idea what was said at all.
-
JP: What is Scarred about?
I would probably ask the same thing! :smiley:
MP: you mad bro?
KM: you sad bro?
JLB: you glad bro?(bout mp)
:lol
-
when you and Portnoy will reunite?
will you do "an evening with" gigs again?
will you release Score in blu ray?
will you release a blu ray from this tour? is there any chance that this blu ray could be recorded in Brazil?
-
I've always wanted to ask how they go about writing music in the theoretical aspect. I'd probably ask Petrucci or Rudess. What are the common principles used in the progressive genre? Are there any? How much does basic music theory go into what you compose?
-
Boxers or briefs?
-
JP: What is Scarred about?
I heard Scarred is about religion, but a lot of the lyrics look like they have to do with marriage. But '30 years say we're in this together' make it sound like it is a religious thing, since JP was only about 27 or 28 at the time. Could be fictional though.

i would interview MM
I would ask him why he designed his kit the way he did. Because i hate it.
-
Me:....
JMX:....

Don't waste your question on that. He has been pretty forthcoming in interviews about why he designed the kit the way he did.

Ah, wasn't aware. Then i guess i would ask JLB and what point in his career did he decide to stop looking like Fabio.
-
Fabio and that one pornstar Evan Stone. I saw him on TV at a Van Halen press conference in 2007 and I thought 'Holy Shit! It's JLB"
-
I would ask JP:
to play so fast that my face melts.
-
I wouldn't ask anything but I would tell them: HAVE JM WRITE MORE LYRICS. MAKE MORE ALBUMS LIKE AWAKE AND I@W AND SFAM.

MP: What additives do you put into your snowcone beard?
-
To the entire band...When are you coming back to Australia!!!!!! :smiley:
-
To JR
Can u play the minute waltz in 30 seconds?
Can I touch ur beard?
-
I'd ask if they ever listen to any music they've created themselves for pleasure. That's something I've always wondered.
-
To JP
Have you guys thought in the moment you'll stop the constant tour-album cycle DT's been on for quite some years now?
-
I see what u did there...
-

I often wonder that about a lot of bands. Always seemed like it would be a completely different experience to me.
-
What country in Europe is shaped like a boot?
Do you like gladiator movies?
Have you ever been to a Turkish prison?
Mind you, I don't expect ANSWERS... :P
-
Seriously though, I would take the opportunity to remind JP that the Ytsejam Records releases are very important to DT fans.
-
To JLB: Is there a specific reason you repeat "sacrifice" live but not on the album? That doesn't sound like it fits the song at all imo.
To JP: Which is more fun: solos or riffs?
To JR: When playing Bridges live, is your intro keyboard part pre recorded? if so, how come?
To JMX: What books do you read?
Why did you not write lyrics for over 12 years? Was it by choice?
To MM: Is there any questions, in all the interviews you've had since joining DT, that you've been dying to answer, but haven't been asked?
Have you ever thought to release an instructional dvd/blu ray?
To the whole band: Not to point the finger, but ADToE is a much brighter album, more upbeat than the last couple releases. Do you honestly feel that MP had anything to do with the darker sound?
As I understand it, ADToE is the last record in your current deal with RR. Have you signed a new deal yet?
-
Whats your favorite Girl Scout cookie?
-
Whats your favorite Girl Scout cookie?
The winner.
-
...snip, ADToE is the last record in your current deal with RR. Have you signed a new deal yet?
Really? someone know something else about this?

That's a great question.
-

I could be wrong, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that it was only a 3 record deal.
-
To all the band: How, exactly, do you guys write your own music?
To each member individually:
What's your favourite music to listen to?
Do you ever actually listen to music whilst not busy making it?
What's your favourite Dream Theater song/album?
What's your favourite Dream Theater song to play live? (And why?)
-
I'd ask Kevin Moore exactly why he is such an insufferable, grade one prick . . .
But that's just me!
