A FW album with both Alder and Arch would be spectacular

I hope they film a DVD for this tour, at some point. The songs they've been bringing back as well as the new songs would be nice to have documented.

Great interview, JRundquist!  I enjoyed that.  And good questions about Kevin too!

On a separate note, I still had no luck getting an answer to this question:

I'm wondering if the autographed editions of APSOG being signed by the current lineup or the lineup that appeared on the album featuring Zonder and Moore?  I posted the question on FW's Facebook thread about the reissue, but I haven't heard back yet.

I e-mailed Metal Blade and posted on FW, Matheos and Brian Slagel's FB threads about this APSOG re-issue -- and no one replied!  To me, it doesn't make sense to have Mike Abdow and Bobby Z sign the re-issues if they had nothing to do with APSOG.  It would be cool to have Zonder and Moore sign them.

Listening to APSOG tonight (after listening to Parallels).  Looking forward to them coming back through Chicago in October.

And it doesn't fail.  Every time I listen to part 6, it moves me, almost like Rush's The Analog Kid.

I love Fates Warning.

Just got my VIP ticket for the Amityville, NY, show.  Woo-hoo!  Just realized the Brooklyn show the night before might conflict with MLB baseball playoffs!  I'm a Mets fan, and it says the NLDS games are the same night.  The Mets never make the playoffs, so they're appearance might cost me a FW show. :/

I can't believe that.  You are one of the biggest FW fans I've ever seen, you can't miss a show!  PVR!!!

Some cool news, according to Bobby J a new FW album will be released next year. He said the material is already all written.

From this interview with Rikki Rachtman on Bravewords (not sure why the Bobby part was included):

"We are working on a new record (Fates Warning), it’s going to be in 2016 and it’s going to be really cool. All the material is written.”

So I got VIP tickets for the San Antonio show.

I was wondering, what CDs should I take to sign? I was planning:

-FW - Darkness
-Chinese Firedrill - Joey Vera
-Both Engine cds - Ray
-Arch Matheos - since I have the metal blade signed booklet with arch and matheos' sig, I was planning to get Vera and Jarzombek.
-Three Jim's solo cds

Seems like an overkill....what do you guys think?

Edit: I also have all Redemption and OSI albums

Fates Warning just answered my question on Facebook from two months ago regarding which FW lineup is signing the APSOG re-issues:

"Here's an answer straight from Jim: Ray, Mark, Joey and I have signed them all. Of course if anyone wants Mike and/or Bobby to sign them as well they'll be more than glad to at the meet and greet."

I'm not so concerned with the VIP, just the show.  I like FW enough and if it was in Austin it would be a no brainer.

Looks like Chris Collins's band Winterspell is one of the bands opening for FW at the Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.  Collins is the original singer for DT (Majesty era).  Not sure if Winterspell is opening other shows.  Would be cool to see him live finally.

Next to None too, you can say "omg hai" to Max Portnoy and ask him to tell his dad to go to Indonesia.

MP said on twitter he would not be attending Max's shows with FW due to other obligations (Winery Dogs)

Ooh, should be interesting for Collins and Portnoy to meet again.  I wonder if they've bumped into each other since DT's early days.

MP won't actually be there. The Winery Dogs will be on tour at that time too.

So, Alder then, right?
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Presumably, yes. I think Jim would have called it "the next Arch/Matheos album" if John were singing instead.
