As long as they don't go around saying you created France or Cleveland, you're all good?

But he did create french fries, right?

That and the tour.  I hope the evening with format doesn't tire James out, but I'm confident he will do fine.

Perhaps they'll add some instrumental tracks throughout the setlist, so he can take longer breaks and rest his voice inbetween songs.

What do you think are the chances of them playing Wait for Sleep this tour? I will cry my eyes out if I hear that song live.

And TDOE for trippy experience :P I really can't wait for the new album and I hope it's going to be epic since it's first I'm going to see live (they'll probably play full or almost full album on An Evening with DT).

Along for the ride and for the chocolate cake.

Copy Rush...but instead of chicken have cake or cupcakes. Maybe an episode on Cupcake Wars for the DT tour...:)

I thought OTBOA was pretty advanced prog for a single, I hope they do that again.  And good point on the single being released in time for the pre-sale.  Definitely possible.

I think it also has a lot to do with the setlist. Some songs, if performed night after night (or even every other night), put a lot of strain on the vocal cords. A cleverly designed set list with a couple of strategically placed instrumentals would make it a lot easier to cope with.

I don't think it implies anything more than that it was an appropriate name for a tour.

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

Yeah, I don't want credit for those two.

Say, I don't remember - do we still co-own France?
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Do you know if this song have vocals (I don't know it was this or another song on chart that haven't changed name)?

The tour is called "along for the ride"

(https://www.facebook.com/dreamtheaterofficial/posts/10151479258802181)

Yes.  Yes, it is.  https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=37547.msg1614360#msg1614360

 :yeahright *sigh* I'm always too damn late.



also, I thought a blast beat was snare, bass and crash/china etc.. at same time as a fill, like in sacrificed sons 4:20

The tracklist is simply awesome. I really like the concept of the cover (very simple, only majesty logo w/background) but I don't like the realization. I do hope it's something temporary and not the actual cover art that will be printed. I hope they will notice that line and the low resolution and rework the whole thing to set it right.

Hope the "soon" is in normal time, and not Valve time  :-\

Anything but that. Though I can't help but have this feeling the OTE is working on valve time.

Although, it wouldn't surprise me if that is the first single. Based on title alone it seems less proggy, more radio friendly.

Hoping the 'evening with format' is for the whole tour.  Looks like I may have to travel to Atlanta, but that will be fine even if I have to go by myself.  I have not found too many folks that even know of Dream Theater in my area of the US(Tennessee).

 My wife likes some of the stuff, but can only handle so much.  She still cannot get the name correct.  When I am on the computer she asks if I am on that 'Nightmare Theater' site. ;D

It wouldn't surprise me if it has "single" potential, given the title and likely average song length of the non-epic tracks, although I'm still putting my bet on one of the other tracks being the leading single.

Agreed on the "Evening With..." format hopes for the US tour. Oh, I'll be traveling to Atlanta from TN (Chattanooga) as well and bringing those I have made into DT converts  :metal

I guess The Enemy Inside will be the single. The title kind of reminds me of Constant Motion. Probably because it sounds :metal and CM was a pretty metal sounding single.
