Back in -94, A friend of mine was very much into Meshuggah, and where searching for other bands sounding like them. He found "The Mirror" and played it to me...boom, bought "Live at the marquee" the next day...and then the 3 first albums within a month!! So "The Mirror" is a very special song for me :)

PMU for me. I really was into Genesis in those days and a bit of Metallica, so PMU was like a best of both worlds.

Also when I picked up the VHS of Images and Words: Live in Tokyo in 11/93 I wasw totally blown away at that point and became a HUGE fan! Then in the late 1990's I faded a away from DT when KISS was doing their big reunion thingy. Then when i caught wind of SFAM coming it reignited my DT fire again and I got huge into the DT bootleg world collecting everything. And the rest is history.................
Thanks,
Dave

  • Transform and rock out!
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Pull Me Under was the song that I first heard, of course, but the song that made me into a life long Dream Theater fan?

Pull Me Under convinced me to buy I&W, since the band seemed to be balanced perfectly between my two favorite musical interests, heavy metal and progressive rock, but the song that made go "Holy crap I love this band"?

Surrounded.

Seriously-something about that jumped up early-Marillion meets metal riff in the verses just sucker punched me upside the head, and I fell head over heels in love with I&W. Said love of course being cemented by Metropolis and Learning to Live. But yeah, Surrounded made me into the DT fan I am today.

Go figure.
