Post by: Aramatheis on April 02, 2011, 02:26:09 PM: I just listened to TOWHTSTS for the first time in a little while, and I was blown away. I totally forgot just how much this song fucking rocks :metal
So uh, yeah. Post your opinions/appreciation, pl0x.

Right, that one. Here I am trying to remember any other songs that were in the same time frame or at least more than one other song. Silly me :P

Post by: yorost on April 03, 2011, 10:55:22 AM: Probably a top ten song from Dream Theater, to me, and definitely my favourite off of When Dream and Day Unite. I know I love this song far more than most, but hey, whatever clicks. :)

Great song. I wish they played it on tour.
I saw it live in Milwaukee on the Train of Thought tour. :p My only concert of theirs and they just about played my favourite parts off each album(incl. Metropolis, A Mind Beside Itself complete, New Millennium, Finally Free, In the Name of God). Whenever I think about it I can hardly believe how lucky I was with the track listing they chose.

Post by: RaiseTheKnife on April 11, 2011, 07:37:53 AM: This song would have been much better if they did it in A flat, that way they could say if there were ever a song in A flat, its THIS song.

Jk

A very late reply, but... Check out every rock band that tunes 1/2 step down :lol Welcome To The Jungle, Ain't Talkin' Bout Love... etc

Post by: DTA on January 26, 2018, 06:42:38 AM: The intro is incredible. I wish they would've reprised some of it during the main part of the song, but nevertheless. I was also lucky enough to catch this on the ToT tour in Philly and even knew then how rare the song was in a live set.

Aside from The Killing Hand, I absolutely agree. But then TOWHTSTS's intro is even better then that ;D
Title: Re: The Ones Who Helped To Set The Sun - Appreciation
Post by: jammindude on January 26, 2018, 09:21:39 PM: Absolutely my favorite song from WDADU. And I feel the same way about it going early in the survivors...just breaks my heart. The entire song is breathtaking!

Good song, bad name for a song

Sounds like a book title, it's a great name but it's word-salad for a songname :D
