I don't think they will be answering that one. If they do, it's more than likely they won't do it with full sincerity.

Title: Re: DT Discusses Luna Park in Google+ Hangout
Post by: TheAtliator on October 22, 2013, 06:49:39 PM
Well we'll never know if they'll answer unless someone asks! And don't tell me I'm the only one with that on my mind..
Title: Re: DT Discusses Luna Park in Google+ Hangout
Post by: Daso on October 22, 2013, 06:53:31 PM
You're right about that.

It would be interesting to know if all songs from both nights were recorded. As in, Bridges in the Sky (Night 1) and Bridges in the Sky (Night 2). The ones repeated on Night 2 are obviously not featured in the additional material, but it would be great to know if it is recorded and if something will ever happen with it.

I'm going to guess it's because they played BC&SL to death on the tour for the CD itself.

Why do you think they wouldn't answer it?  They have been very forthcoming about that sort of thing in the past.  I don't think they would avoid it or be untruthful at all.

Yeah, a lot of other bands would try to avoid the question, but I can recall a couple times that various DT members have referenced touchups to the DVDs.

Sorry.  I would have started a thread about it, but I hadn't been following the LALP thread and hadn't seen Wey's posts about it, so I didn't realize this was happening.

I thought there were at least a few more. Would have been cool to have that question about fix-ups asked. Like many, I certainly wouldn't have thought less of the band for admitting to them, but it would be refreshing to hear a band actually talk about that.

Overall, Wey seemed a bit nervous about pressing the band on anything. I had to raise my eyebrows at the initial response to the 360 cam thing, where to me it felt like [sic] "Ah... (it's not on the DVD? we all thought it was on the DVD! So when's it coming out?) well that'll be great for fans to look forward to after this!" That was good of JP to step in and clarify.

Did Wey say they were releasing a Metropolis Pt. 1 video?

Funny story about that, actually.  When John said, "Oh, hey Jerry!" I momentarily forgot that I wasn't on the chat, and I said "Hi" back and waved at my screen.   :lol  :blush

Quite the contrary, I've worked for these guys for 6 years and have known them all for going on 14 (thanks to working for MP for so long,) I'm not nervous about asking them anything, we're old friends at this point.... but going into a live interview that is broadcasting worldwide over the internet, I'm not going to put them on the spot too often with anything that might make them uncomfortable or I know that they aren't going to want to answer. I did that once during the DT12 release interview, and once on this one.

I always try to slip something a little extra in for the fans, be it something like a question they may not feel comfortable answering, a question I know the answer to already that isn't public knowledge yet, or a question specifically geared to get JM talking.  :rollin

I would've asked a question, but I honestly figured that you guys were all going to jump on in and ask some questions like before haha.
Edit: thanks for doing the interview Weymolith. Also surprised we got to see them on google hangout again so soon, it was really cool to enjoy the DT humor.

You missed James sitting in front of the mirror from the Awake artwork. You missed them saying basically that they would be interested in doing an Official Bootleg from the summer tour or ADTOE tour but that they had not done one just yet because it would overlap with LALP. You missed more discussion about John's chickens.


There was more stuff, a lot of discussion of the Luna Park experience, a little teasing for the upcoming tour, but those were the funny/important things that stood out. Most importantly, they seemed genuinely excited to talk to the fans again. I think this proves that even post-MP, this band is the best band in the world for how they treat their fans.
