19 & counting baby.
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.

I'm 53.  Been a member since 1997 or 1998 (Falling Into Infinity had just come out and we were discussing it).

24. 25 in April.


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

Where's the 45 + option? :lol

I'm 47. 48 in March.

There IS a 46-to-50 option

I still think I may be the OLDEST person on here...

I'm honestly surprised that there aren't at least a FEW more over-50 DT fans!

It's not like they just released their first album-or even I&W-last year, or even within the last 5-10 years!!

It's amazing - truly amazing - what happens at that (seemingly) inconsequential number of 40.  It happens within months of turning 40.  Things that did not disrupt me all of a sudden threw me for a loop - my joints, my general achy-ness, injury recovery time,  bruises ("Where the fuck did THAT come from?") etc... Mentally, I'm not there.  But every so often, my body does some fuckin outlandish shit to remind me  "Dude, you're over 40".

Sad, but true.  Some days I just wake up and feel like I barely slept and getting through the work day is a struggle.  It's not fair. :censored

There are, I'm sure, but their arthritis precludes them from posting on forums.   ;)

Not to mention, the odds are pretty good that the majority have never heard of this place or can't be bothered to respond to this thread.  They are 50+ after all.

Sorry I didn't notice your post before I put mine up.

Nice to meet someone on here who's actually OLDER than me!

I turned 53 in September.

No arthritis yet, thank GOD!
