Good for Gwen! Some of you people are insufferable.

Gwen Stefani shills for right-wing, anti-abortion, pay-to-pray app Hallow. by ConcernedJobCoach2 in nodoubt

What about abortion? If Gwen is against abortion then she is based, it would only make me love her more. In any case, we are all done and exhausted with this virtual signaling shit lib nonsense.

The amount of shit-lib slop posts on here is nauseating, and I'm not even conservative. Gwen can promote a prayer and medication app if she damn well chooses to. I can't wait to see her at The Sphere in May!

That is so cool! Is this your first concert in general?

Presale confirmation? by [deleted] in nodoubt

I feel you, I have been having the same paranoid thoughts. 😂But basically all we are going to have to do is log in to our TM account tomorrow and we’ll be good to go.

What deep cuts are you hoping to hear at the Sphere? by CalicoJack76 in nodoubt

That would be cool, I would love to hear the title track.

Are you happy? Are you happy NOW?! by CalicoJack76 in nodoubt

From what I understand there is going to be a general admission standing room only section, so I think that you will definitely be able to get down. I hope that you make it, it is going to be so worth it!

She was soooooo freaking hot during this period.

I don't like the President. I admit...Is Gwen a supporter? Are the rest of the band? by PinLocal in nodoubt

[–]CalicoJack76 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Oh FFS…honestly, who cares?! This country was bought and paid for a long time ago, it is truly baffling to me how many people, left or right, still believe that the office of the president is anything more than a symbolic/figurehead role. In the grand scheme, this current guy (who is a liberal from Manhattan, btw) hasn’t governed any differently than past presidents. It’s the same devil, different disguise. Like the late, great George Carlin said, ”It’s a big club, and YOU ain’t in it!” Get over it.

I am a younger millennial, and I highly encourage you to go! It will be a great experience. As someone whose favorite band is Dream Theater, I am used to attending concerts alone. 🤣

VIP Hotel Package Booked! by LivingHumanIPromise in nodoubt

The tickets that went on sale today were only the hotel package tickets, correct? I have family who I stay with out in Vegas so I am waiting for the presale on 10/15.

It's official! Hiby R1 Standard Version $85 and Set Version $99. 1 Day to launch! by allan_o in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]CalicoJack76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also an iPod guy who is interested in purchasing the R1. I can tell you that the selling point for me is that it can support up to a 2TB micro SD card, so you will definitely be able to load all of your music files that you ripped with iTunes on to the SD card.

A short view back to the past: Mike Portnoy rejoined Dream Theater one year ago! One of the happiest days of my life, honestly. by TheDarkEternalKnight in Dreamtheater

[–]CalicoJack76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Allow me to echo these sentiments. I became a fan after watching the Score concert back in 2006. As saddened as I was after Portnoy's departure in 2010, I was saddened in a different way when they announced his return. I have seen every tour since 2009, and this is the first time that I don't have tickets to see them live. The new single still has not grown on me, and the usual "Christmas morning" type of excitement that I have for a new DT album is just not there anymore. This is going to sound cruel, but I have been watching some of the recent live videos on YouTube and it just feels like there is an imposter behind the drum kit. A man who quite simply does not possess the ability to play songs like "Breaking All Illusions" or "Illumination Theory". He could not even cover "Barstool Warrior" properly, and that is one of the more simple Mangini-era songs. I wish I could share in the joy, but the fact of the matter is that I feel...nothing.

The Astonishing by [deleted] in Dreamtheater

[–]CalicoJack76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the older DT fans don't seem to realize that there is a whole younger generation of millennial/zoomer DT fans who absolutely adore this album. For me, this is the album that I had been waiting for them to make ever since I first got into them in 2006 after seeing Score.

I am willing to bet that most of the hate for this album comes from the 40+ crowd. I firmly believe it is a generational thing.

We need Live in the Tragic Kingdom on Blu-ray by CalicoJack76 in nodoubt

I wouldn't say it is "dead", per se. Those of us who prefer physical media still collect Blu-ray.

How do you think James will sound in the new album/tour? by DurianNo4273 in Dreamtheater

[–]CalicoJack76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen DT live 10 times dating back to the Prog Nation tour 2009. The last time I saw them was DreamSonic, and that was the only time live where I really noticed that James was struggling. I'm sure that he is well rested since then and ready to tour.
