Title: Dream Theater Trivia Game
Post by: Ħ on November 07, 2010, 09:00:56 PM
Inspired by the MS Paint Lyric thread.

The rules:  When it's your turn, you ask one question.  It can be anything regarding any member/past-member of DT.  If someone gets it, you acknowledge their win and grant them a point, and they must come up with a new question.  If no one gets it within 10 guesses, the asker gets another point, and must come up with a new question (the extra point may only be awarded once per person).

The only rule for answering is that you can't use any resources--it all has to be from your memory.  Obviously there's a lot of integrity here, but whatevs, it's just a forum game.

Question 1
What is James LaBrie's middle name?

Oh wow, I'd have never been able to remember any of those names.  But since I didn't get the names right, you can go ahead and take my point away if you want.  Cuz that was part of the question.

What was the name of the first band John Petrucci was in?

Not that I'm doubting you or really know, but Wikipedia (cited to Lifting Shadows) says Moore brought Space-Dye Vest into the studio as a completed song.

Good point.  But even if that's true, you used a resource, which is against the rules.

I didn't look it up until he said it wasn't right. You gotta confirm it somehow.

What bass did JM use for the recording of Images And Words?
Title: Re: Dream Theater Trivia Game
Post by: Martinman300 on November 14, 2010, 03:47:45 AM
Portnoy says they always write big epics first. For example, sacrificed sons, scarred, raise the knife, antr etc but i cant remember where he said that

He used a 4 string, on all songs except Take the Time I think, I can remember that it's a Pink Spector, but can't remember the exact model name...
Title: Re: Dream Theater Trivia Game
Post by: tri.ad on November 14, 2010, 04:18:01 AM
I was aiming at the brand anyway, so I'll let it count as the correct answer. It was a Spector NS-2.
Title: Re: Dream Theater Trivia Game
Post by: Mechanix1911 on November 20, 2010, 06:32:43 AM
Yeah, I forgot about this thread at all.

So, who was the DT singer before James LaBrie?
Title: Re: Dream Theater Trivia Game

My question:
