The music and lyrics better be pretty kick-ass.  I trust John Petrucci.  He's never let us down.  But I'm on edge about this one!  Just venting.

Better be?

Of course you should trust John Petrucci. He's never the type to write laughably bad lyrics or anything.

I suppose we're getting somewhat close to the album, but a single being released very soon would be surprising to me. Though, I haven't really looked at their summer tour schedule with festivals and such coming up.

Single will be released in.. 3-5 ish weeks. Yay predictions.

Looking forward to it. :metal

They're not touring until 2014.

I have the impression (for some reason) that they're not playing any shows until after the album is released. Although, I can't remember if that was said somewhere, or if I've just made it up.

Well, considering that they've only SCHEDULED shows for January 2014, I think that's a fairly safe assumption.

I don't read the schedules, though. :lol  So my opinion was mostly conjecture, even of it turned out to be correct. :P

Either way, bottom line is that one can't look at their summer tour schedule, because there's nothing to look at.

  • My body is not well
From Mangini's FB: A new drum kit, as well as a revamping of one of the kits from last tour are in the works for 2014. It really is a huge amount of planning and trial and error, but worth it. Easy stuff compared to not having the support and incredibly friendly and helpful people at Pearl to step it up again and again. By just digging in with hard work, all aspects of everything just keep getting better. It is nice to smell the roses every now and then. The feeling will be carried to the stage.
 
I fucking love his enthusiastic positive attitude!

Well, let's all just project that energy out there, and maybe it'll manifest into reality.

Some people say that tomorrow won't be the day for the single 'cause there has not been an announcement. However, roadrunner release written and audio news on tuesdays. It might happen. But it may also occur on thursday august 1st and open the doors to preorders. Who knows...the painful wait continues...

Jeez, you guys.

Be patient.  Like bosky said, all kinds of coolness is coming.

Dare I say it?
































































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

Any speculation if James will play some shows for his solo stuff before January?  Seems like a good time to sneak in some shows.  If memory serves me correctly, the (unfortunately) cancelled Static Impulse tour was Nov/Dec 2010, just prior to the recording of ADTOE.

Apologies if this is off-topic, although perhaps some momentary distraction could be helpful in this thread.

Meh Matt Guillery stated in the Impermanent Res. thread that they wouldnt tour until "the dt machine dies down " (meaning afyer dt tours?)
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

oh, false allarm, they're from James' new record.  :facepalm:

It's actually from one of his older albums, Elements of Persuasion (Myung'd by Zydar). It's worth checking out if you're into the more straight up metal. :tup

Honestly, my excitement level is not as high as a month ago. They went too far with the await of the single/infos and other stuff.

On the other side I think that my hype level will brutally increase again after the release of the single. We'll see.

For the record, unless the situation changes dramatically, there will be no DT tour dates this year.
