Basically talking about wrapping up touring, looking at fan reactions to help them write setlists, and Mangini writing on the next album.
"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A. G. Sertillanges

Well, I'd be surprised if he'd stated the opposite... ;)

So he confirms that TGD was taken out so they could play both Outcry and BAI from the fans complaining..Cool!
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

That's weak.  TGD is a MUCH better song than BAI.

That makes me happy, and guys, he had actually stated the opposite a few months ago. This makes me very happy.

That's a funny video the way JP has to look up at whoever is asking the Q's and the way it is edited, it sounds like she keeps butting in.  :biggrin:

i don't know about that, but it's a shitload better than Outcry. If they ditched Outcry for LNF, then it would have been a great move.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Maybe so.  Though I'm personally glad I got to see Outcry live - it was a pretty cool song for the live setting.

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

Can't understand why Outcry is gaining negative reactions. It's the best song on the album and great to see live, IMO. Its vocal melodies and arrangement remind me Metropolis.

That's very cool to know DT do care fans thoughts.

^That.  ...although lately I've been feeling that Bridges In The Sky might actually be the "best," with Outcry being a very close second.  But close enough...

That's very cool to know DT do care fans thoughts.

In all seriousness, that.^

I'm really glad I got to see The Great Debate rather than Outcry when I saw them in Chicago. I've wanted to see The Great Debate for years.

  • But not the medical kind.
Better song aside, they basically made the setlist a LOT more sterile by taking 15 minutes worth of show and making it the same song every night as opposed to rotating, and in the process they completely removed a song. I specifically love going to multiple DT shows because they vary up the sets, and I was REALLY looking forward to The Great Debate. So instead of seeing all three songs I ended up seeing two songs twice, lame.

They've been doing at least two US tours during an album cycle since the Images and Words days with few exceptions.

They already have a festival date in August in Quebec, so I don't see a reason not to come through a second time. Especially since they've coming through for a second leg for the past several tours, at least.

Bosk1, I guess you and Obama share the same distaste for BAI:

I see what you did there. 

For what's it's worth, I'd much rather see The Great Debate than Breaking All Illusions myself. But I'd rather see Breaking All Illusions than Lost Not Forgotten.

Well if they actually do come back to the US (assuming you live in the US), you should see this show ASAP.
