Conan has certainly banked more comedy cred by being consistently funny over the years, but Fallon's show is pretty funny.  But what would be more likely than DT playing Fallon would be one of the members sitting in with The Roots; I could totally see that happening, especially JR or JP.  Things like that happen a lot on Fallon's show.

I once caught Yngwie sitting in with the Roots on Fallon.  I didn't watch the whole show but I thought that was cool.

I personally cannot stand Jimmy Fallon. He's just so unfunny. And he tries so hard. I'd put him just slightly above George Lopez.

That said, if DT actually did get on JF though, I'd definitely watch it. I'll support them regardless.

Question though, with JF does the musical guest just sit in with The Roots? I mean, that'd be cool and all, but I don't think that would get DT the recognition they deserve. That'd be fantastic once they already had a bit more mainstream recognition. But to get that they'd have to expose a whole not audience to their music.

Also, pretty sure Conans currant show wins for guests. I mean, he had on Tim and Eric. And it was the best thing ever.

^^

One musician will often sit-in with the roots and they can promote themselves or their band.

A whole band guest would play at the end as per usual.

Any exposure is good exposure.

It's too bad you don't like JF's comedy, cuz he does SO MUCH music-related stuff and The Roots are versatile beyond belief and can play and jam on anything and everything.  If you could just watch the show and ignore the jokes I'm sure you'll be impressed.

I might give it a shot sometime for the music.

And yeah, if that's how the musical guests work it wouldn't be bad at all. I misunderstood and thought just the one member played with The Roots and that was it. In which case, that would open a bunch of people up to Petruccis ability, but only a comparative few would get back to DT. But if they still play at the end, then it would be pretty fantastic. It would showcase the band and give a broader showcase of JP.

Exactly what I said in the Jimmy Fallon thread. I just didn't want to put it quite so bluntly so it didn't come off like I was just biased toward my own thing.

I sent a short message in JLB's inbox on facebook informing him about this campaign. I also sent him the link of the fb group and asked him to inform the guys. But did he receive it? I don't know how one can possibly set his message settings on facebook but it would seem more realistic that messages from people he doesn't know personally could be blocked somehow...

I never find him online. And if he's not the message will go to his inbox, so it's pretty much the same.

that would be so awesome if he ended up liking the fanpage. I'm pretty sure if we could bring the fanpage to the attention to any of them it would take off amazingly. Because I imagine then they'd talk about it amongst themselves. And then (hopefully) agree they'd like to do it. Then management would contact management. And the rest would be TV history.

I actually considered it but I wasn't sure if I should have posted a link. Let's hope they do discuss it amongst themselves. Maybe the Roadrunner might take notice as well, I mean they do want to promote the band as much as possible!

perhaps something along the lines of "a group of diehard Dream Theater fans have taken up a campaign to see Dream Theater on the Conan O'Brien show! They've got a facebook page, yadda yadda, Help spread the word!" etc

well you get the idea.

Yeah, I've noticed that. Posting on the DT wall you can get several new fans. I've also gotten a few from JLBs page.

JLB just accepted my friend request. He's on chat right now and I sent him a message. I'm not too hopeful for a response. But on the off chance he does, I plan to tell him about the campaign. Perhaps we could get some legit backing going.

EDIT: Aaaand he's off.

I know, it's surprising. I mean, I'm sure they could find a way to spin it into Portnoy being the worst person ever.

This comment just in on the facebook page --

Samantha Banks
They can`t afford it, remember they`re not on a real network, besides Dream Theater isn`t that good I think Aerosmith would be better because Steven Tyler could teach Conan to dress in drag, but they could never afford that eaither...

Go get her!

We need simple strategies to get this more fans.  Some of the best times to post this are when DT, JP, JLB, Jordan make a post.  So then post on their wall straight after so more people will see it.  I've noticed if the DT page doesn't make a post and you look at the times when people post it will say things like 3 minutes to 1hour ago to 2 hours ago.  Whereas if the make a post more people start posting on their wall back, so it's like 1 minute ago, 3 minutes ago, 5 minutes ago, 10 minutes ago.  I hope that made sense haha.

The DT page moves quick enough, it probably wouldn't hurt to post it a couple times a day. I'd say take a look, if it's not on the first page, post it.
