musclassia Staff Posts: 7633	Permalink 02.11.2015 - 16:58 musclassia Staff Posts: 7633 Feel it's pretty risky to buy tickets to a show where an entire new album that you haven't heard yet will be played - what if you hear the album before you go and hate it? Or if the shows happen before the album comes out, and you reach the third song and realise you've got another hour of music you hate before something good comes on? I like DT and have enjoyed them each time I've seen them live but I don't think I'll bother going to see the London show on this tour Loading...

Warman Erotic Stains Posts: 7695	Permalink 06.11.2015 - 15:20 Warman Erotic Stains Posts: 7695 I'm a huge DT fanboy. So this was a must for me. Was? Yeah, I saw the ticket prices yesterday for the Stockholm show. It's the most expensive ones I've ever seen. Iron Maiden and Metallica are cheaper. It's about the same price that I've paid for one day festivals such as Sonisphere. I don't get it. I've seen Dream Theater perform "An Evening With" before. I've seen Opeth play for three hours. Then it was about half the price for this show. ---- Loading...

HyperDrifter Posts: 348	Permalink 06.11.2015 - 19:44 HyperDrifter Posts: 348 From various places I've heard this will be a "Rock opera" and a concept double album. If this is anything like Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence I'm all over it as that album is considerably underrated!
