You just illustrated my point perfectly

There are lots of people here who speak English as a second language, and some who barely speak it at all. There's no need to be a jerk about it .
I could say the same to you for that comment pal.

There are a lot of people with ESL who contribute to this website and I must admit to finding the odd review hard to understand.  That said if you enjoy giving people a hard time about spelling and grammar you could find a better forum to do it in rather than the progarchives.  Go and have a look at www.engrish.com I'm sure you will have hours of fun!!

Dream Theater and Symphony X are the main reasons I'm going to Gigantour, but I can't wait for DEP. I've really started to like them lately .

BTW, how was the show overall?

One problem, TMV would have to cut down on their 2.5 hour concerts as theyre only support. But i did wonder, why are they supporting System in the first place? Both bands are more then capable of filling concert halls themselves and would of course have longer to play.




Because System of a down rarely do more then 1h30 of show!

I guess it will be 50/50 between the two band!

I'm going to see them tomorrow at the Bell center...can't wati!!!

Why not?  Not much similarity in the music but a good way of opening the minds of classic prog fans to prog metal and vice versa.



I'm just saying, there's a closer relation between SOAD and TMV than there is between DT and Yes, and we Yes fans didn't complain about DT at all.

why is it only in the states you have great shows. in the uk, we get the main act and then a couple of small average supports. the only thing close to a states show was the chilis and mars volta but thats when the volta were unknown. and not really big at all

The Mars Volta and SOAD sound like a great pairing. I'd love to see them both.

bands don't have to sound a whole lot alike to tour together.  it's more interesting if they're different.  personally, i think its a great combination and i wish i could've seen one of the shows.
