That sorta shit happens in the music biz all the time.  The part that doesn't normally happen is the complete cutting off of communication.

Truthfully?  There is no big deal.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Kevin Moore left DT to go make weird electronic noises and sing over the top of it in a monotone drone, and has 38 fans. More power to him. At least he'll always have Images and Words to brag about  :tup.

NEWSFLASH: Blood by OSI is better than what I've heard from BCSL.

Also, WDADU, I&W, AWAKE, ACOS >  anything after 2000

I never said how much I have heard...
Also, the post just pissed me off.

Wouldn't you say playing for a small group of fans playing music you like is better than hating every note you play in front of thousands.
My post was pretty immature but I still stick by my opinion.   :blush

How does your analogy fit anything here? DT love their music, KM loves his music. The difference is that DT play to thousands. KM doesn't.

I'm saying KM would be happier in front of 38 fans of music he loves rather than be in DT and resent every note he plays. He doesn't need to "brag" about I&W as Dream Team suggested.

OH you meant for him in DT vs him solo. Sorry, I thought you were comparing DT to him. Yeah, he's obviously more interested in his own music. He has no interest in discussing DT. I don't imagine him bragging about DT. I'm sure he's happier with what he's doing for himself

Look.

There was one interview where, when asked about DS and JR era DT, KM said he didn't want to respond because he wanted to avoid bullshitting.

But aside from that, I've never seen him bad mouth the band. Why would anyone think he owes them anything?

The only thing KM did that I thought was actually distasteful was leaving before a replacement keyboardist could be found, since the Awake shows were either already scheduled, or the band full-well knew that a tour was coming to promote the album. But that happened over a decade ago, it's in the past.

KM went one way, DT went another. I don't understand why we should give a shit.

Yeah, bottom line both KM and DT are both happy making great music, and no one can deny that KM's time in DT made for some of the best music/lyrics DT has ever made!

I thought y'all might be interested to see this, it's the lyrics from the first song on OSI's new album, Blood.

Quote
Run, run
like you've already done
You've gotta move to meet demand
You're far flung when the music's done
you better find a place to land


It's all true when I lit that fuse
I never meant to be your friend
I kicked the tire but it caught on fire
I'm gonna try to make amends


You act mysterious
but you speak in gibberish
You can take your memory
I'm off
I'd better be alone

Alone

Part two
now you're back in the news
you're gonna spread the word around

I'm all done because the song is sung
I'm gonna black my windows out

You move mysterious
but you speak in gibberish
You can take your memory
I'm off
I'd better be alone
Alone

No harm, no foul
It's not fine at all
It's not fair leading us there
It's no fun at all


You act mysterious
but you speak in gibberish
You can take your memory
I'm off
I'd better be alone
Alone

I'm gone
I'd better be alone
Alone

The italicized part also seems quite relevant, regarding the lack of interviews or talking about when he was in DT.

And of course, the name of the song is "The Escape Artist".

Almost seems like a bookend to 6:00...

That's the lyricist who's supposedly better than all the other ones in the band; then or now?

While I didn't take the time to pick out exact lines, throughout Blood I thought I kept hearing lines that might've been referring to Kevin's relationship with Dream Theater.

Well I think this one was what really stood out for me.  Also, from the album Free, there's the song Go, which is basically a narrative about the departure itself and what he did immediately after leaving DT.

Yep. It's interesting stuff, for sure. Portnoy's words on "Raise the Knife" are good as well, although they don't all deal with Moore, if I remember correctly.

What really strikes me in this song is this verse:

It's all true when I lit that fuse
I never meant to be your friend
I kicked the tire but it caught on fire
I'm gonna try to make amends

Sounds like KM is reflecting on interviews where questions addressed his departure from DT and his subsequent relationship with them, especially MP.  Sounds to me like he commented knowing that it might start some sort of tension, but he was not expecting it to get that outta hand.

I don't know if these lyrics specifically refer to KM's time with DT and his departure.


But I hope they do.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
