Dream Theater

=Soulfire said:Hey everyone,

My name is none of your business :P. You can call me Soulfire :D. However I am 17 and live in Brisbane, Australia. Been into Dream Theater since about 2008, but my first album was Octavarium. TBH I was actually into LTE before DT lol! A friend of mine gave me LTE2, and I absolutely loved it. I heard that it was a side project for Dream Theater, bought Octavarium and fell in love with it instantly.

I'm finishing up Year 12 this year. I play keys, guitar, bass and drums and I compose quite a bit. Going to study composition at the Conservatorium next year.

Aside from DT I love all kinds of progressive music including Porcupine Tree, OSI, Transatlantic, Meshuggah, Animals as Leaders, ELP etc.

Great thread by the way :)

Regards,

Soulfire

Hi guys, my name's Dave, and I've been alive for a very long time. I first heard DT back when WDADU was first released, but I&W really hooked me in. I was a member of the Ytsejam and the original DT.Net. I was also one of the first on the MP forum. Unfortunately that is no longer a place where I can talk freely, so I'm on JLBs forum, and have just started to check out this place.

Oh, I live in England with my wonderful Wife. We have 2 kids (18 and 16) and we go to Prog / Metal concerts as a family. It's cool!

Hey, I'm Mark, your webmaster. I got into Dream Theater in 1989, loved "When Dream And Day Unite" to death and saw the band for the first time during the "Music In Progress" tour in 1993. I was a member of the "Ytsejam" mailinglist (there were no message boards yet), hung out in the #Ytsejam IRC channel every day and ran a Dream Theater fansite called "Under A Cyber Moon" that later became the official site you are looking at now. You can see photos of myself with the band on my Google+ page.

Hey everyone, my name's Marios, I'm greek from Cyprus, been a Dream Theater fanatic for 4 years now. (Since 17 and I'm 21 now) The song that got me to love DT was Constant Motion. My fave album is Black Clouds and Silver Linings. I'm currently in uni, studying English Literature, I love writing, watching movies/series, learning about history, culture and medicine. If you want to chat, I have skype and MSN addies, ask for them and I will be glad to get to know other DT fans.

Peace. X

Hey guys, my name is Robin (male :D), I'm from Germany and 20 years old.

I've been a Dream Theater fan since 2004, when my brother introduced me to Train of Thought. I immediately fell in love with DT and bought every album. My favorite album is Images and Words (my favorite song ever is Surrounded, I wished they would create a song like that again), followed closely by SDOIT. Back in 2004, I was a member of the old DT board which got closed (what was justified - nothing but hate going on there; I hope we can manage to make this place a little friendlier).

I kinda lost DT in the last few years, but I think now they're back in my life again. The new album is absolutely incredible and I'm positive that it will grow even more.

Cheers. :)

Hi, my names Chris, from the UK here, I'm 18 years old and I work as a chef! I first got into Dream Theater around the release of Octavarium, after hearing the title track I was hooked instantly and has become one of my favourite ever since. I'm the lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist/keyboardist in my Progressive Rock/Post-Hardcore band 'Eyes of Existence' (thats where my username comes from), I'm also a thrill-seeker and when it comes to rollercoasters I'm a fully-fledged nerd (I love them!).

I'm 5'9 tall, dark medium-length messy hair, blue eyes, 9 stone something?... And I have a heart condition called SVT, in which I have no idea how it triggers, but it basically goes 200 BPM and pumps so much adrenaline into me I can run miles without losing breath. But eventually I'd die if I did, so pain stops it, like sharp pain. I'm screwed if it happens in an exam, I'd have to stab a pencil in my leg or something...

So yeah that's me briefly I suppose! Nice to meet you all, and welcome each and every one of you to the forum (seeing as we're pretty much all newbs)

Wow guys...so many interesting people. I think it's great how DT really brings people together from around the world.

Gorgeous pic by the way. Most people could learn a valuable lesson about being photogenic from you since the average person will look far more attractive in a pic if they have a warm, relaxed smile like yours.

BTW part of the idea here was that everyone posts pics!

I posted on the dreamtheater.net forum before it was cool
