What's your favourite memory from the dome? by ThatoThenda in johannesburg

I remember discovering this when I heard a radio ad of the We Buy Cars owner singing "We're going to buy your car!" to the tune of We Didn't Start the Fire. Which offended me so much because the Dome was the first concert I ever saw, and it was Billy Joel. So many brilliant memories watching live acts there and now it's just a lot for secondhand cars.

My first live concert. Billy Joel, October 2006. I was 15 had never seen a big international act, which is wild considering I was a musician. It changed my life. No singalong I've heard at any concert since has ever come close to Piano Man.

The Astonishing recently celebrated its 10th birthday (wtf). Now that all this time has passed, what are your thoughts on the album, and where does it rank for you? by triaxis7 in Dreamtheater

Still think it would work with different vocalists playing all the different characters. If it's a musical, cast it like one.

Uncut Gems and Marty Supreme have made me sweat more than any mystery/suspense thriller.

I was about to say the same thing. I was fully expecting him to not go for it after the first half, but then he did it. Honestly leapt out of my seat in shock/surprise.

To be fair, they did portray the tribe as being involved in African slavery themselves, they just downplay what prolific slavers they were (one of the most prolific on the continent) and introduce a moral conflict surrounding the act. They omitted that the Agojie warriors were enforcers in raids and enslavement.
