”Musical experiments confirmed findings of archaeological research that the size and the position of the holes cannot be accidental – they were made with the intention of musical expression.”

I hate statements like this. Of course it could have been accidental. Insanely unlikely, but why sound stupid by saying there’s zero chance some cave man made four holes in a bone that just happened to be on the right scale for making musical notes.

I’ve gone through the entire life cycle of DT fandom. As a drummer, was drawn in by Portnoy’s virtuosity, despite how goofy LaBrie was on vocals. Then I recognized how each player in the band was equally talented at their craft. I bought portnoys instructional dvds. I found the side projects. I saw DT live on the Train of Thought tour. I eagerly awaited Octavarium. It was okay. And then I started to realize that I really just liked their heavier songs so much more than the pure instrumental show-off stuff, and the keyboard element really started to become a turnoff for me, in particular, along with my waning amusement with LaBrie’s ridiculous operatic contributions.

Eventually, I realized I was really just into hardcore metal. I still give the old albums a listen once in a while, and I really believe that a few songs are truly prog metal greats — Home, Dance of Eternity, Pull me Under, Blind faith, As I Am — but I’ve totally lost interest in the band in terms of what they’re releasing lately.

Absolutely brilliant move, tbh.

He’s gay.

Careful, don’t short circuit…

You do know that Paramount’s marketing department did no write the article, right?

Don’t forget O’Dell Lake.

You must have had a fancy computer in 1994

That doc made me aware that John Fogerty absolutely was not your typical Rock n Roll frontman. Sort of a quiet and… strange guy. Insanely talented though. The doc also gave me the impression that he was 80% of the talent in the band, and 99% responsible for their success.
