Mini crash???
« on: February 22, 2019, 12:19:05 PM »
Are we really back now ... 2:18 EST.  2 1/2 hours down, and I didn't know what to do with myself.

Well, better than the crash of '07
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

No kidding. I've had to actually work for the past couple hours when I would normally be wasting time contributing valuable thoughts and insights here!

Seriously. I got way too much work done in way too short of a time frame.
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

'07? It was more like 2010, I think. I was a regular poster here and that didn't happen until 2009. And we have posts going back to 2011, I believe.

Oh yeah ... right.  April 27, 2009 - https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=16.msg51#msg51

I do seem to recall one in 2007 though too.  The one in '09 was brutal, because iirc DTF actually lost all the posts, but for some reason, retained the post counts.

He does, however, have a lot of time on his hands. Unless SoA is currently on a worldwide tour I am unaware of, or spending months in the studio on their next album.

Well, according to some people, Derek is working tirelessly to write the SOA album on his own (since obviously they didn't just write it in 5 days like Portnoy said) so I'd say he's very busy crafting the brilliant album.

Every time I login, the site revolts because I actually like a new DT record. bosk put a workaround in, so we're all good for now.
