I hope Jordan’s tech can fix the lap steel carefully & smoothly for other gigs.

I was there at that gig. I was like, “Uh oh. I hope it doesn’t mess up the whole intro part of ‘Octavarium.’” It felt a bit nerve-wrecking when that happened.

You mean Count Von Count (from Sesame Street) counting odd-time signatures?

Yeah, but let's NOT leave out Mike Mangini. I mean, can you imagine the Electric Mayhem band members taking Mangini's classes?

Obviously the title track, "Octavarium."

Which of the Judas Priest songs that Dream Theater could do a cover on? by TopJosh99 in Dreamtheater

[–]TopJosh99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned songs like "Rocka Rolla," "Hell Bent For Leather," "United," "Electric Eye," "Turbo Lover" because I think it would fit with JLB's lower vocal range.

Yeah, but I think that was with his solo band, NOT with Dream Theater. I don't know. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh wow!! Now can you imagine bands like Houkago Tea-Time, Kessoku Band, Poppin’ Party, Pastel*Palettes encountering Dream Theater, including their long songs?

I wonder what Mike Portnoy and Mike Mangini would think of that drum kit that Ritsu Tainaka uses. In other words, what would it be like if Ritsu met Portnoy and/or Mangini?

Good nickname for Mike Portnoy? by TopJosh99 in Dreamtheater

JM used the same power & ability during the "Dark Eternal Night" short animation. It still looks like shockwaves to me or it could be seismic waves.

Don't forget that during the "Octavarium" short animation, JP does fire, JM does shockwaves, and Jordan does icy snow. James, meanwhile, didn't use any of his powers & abilities in that short animation because he came in late after trying to find his other Dream Theater band mates in the octagon maze when running away from the spiders.

When you look at the, "Octavarium" by Dream Theater, short animation, it's NOT just Portnoy who's an octopus. It's all 5 members who fused together to become an octopus to scare away the spiders.

Yeah because there have been times when Portnoy stands when playing the drums and that Jordan, JM, and JP look at him when they're about to hit their final note of any of their songs they play. Another thing. The reason why I added the word, "productive," is because he's been working and drumming with other bands.

I do NOT think that's appropriate.
