FROM THE TOO-GOOD-TO-BE-TRUE FILES: DREAM THEATER ANNOUNCE TOUR WITH OPETH, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, AND 3

 Monday, November 5th, 2007 at 2:56pm by

Back when Vince did an interview with Between the Buried and Me bassist Dan Briggs, the two of them spent so much time just splooging about about how much they love Dream Theater that at some point Vince didn’t even bother to transcribe the conversation; it was just two metal dorks dorking out.

So I can only imagine their collective excitement over the announcement of Dream Theater’s “Progressive Nation” package tour, which will team the prog masters with Opeth, 3, and, of course, BTBAM themselves.

I mean, fuck, I don’t even like Dream Theater that much (or even 3, though I guess what I’ve heard was pretty good) and I wanna go to this show. Opeth AND BTBAM AND Dream Theater? If they’d only add Tool and Mastodon and give away free weed with every ticket purchased, I’m pretty sure this would be the greatest tour of all time. As it stands, it’s still about as bonerific a package tour as there is. Seriously, I’m getting kind of aroused just sitting here typing about it; if my boss were to summon me to his office right now, I’d have to hold a book in front of my crotch lest he get the wrong idea.

No tour dates yet… stay tuned for more info.

    good bill, but I agree, they need to add Mastodon or one of the “earthier” sounding prog guys. But still….awesome.

    I just simultaneously creamed and crapped my pants! After I clean up, I’ll put in a call to Troy to try and get Mastodon on the bill…

    Seeing Dream Theater live is impressive. The music gets old quickly and you wonder where the singer went for the past half hour, but if you’re a musician you should see them once, just to remind you how you’ll never be 1/100th the musician any of them would be if they had one arm.

    I don’t get how/why Opeth always gets thrown into a category with Dream Theater (and their fans), but whatever…ill go see it because of them and BTBAM.

  • Wayne

    This is perfect. I get to see Opeth and BTBAM, and I’ll “get around to” Dream Theatre.

  • Eddie

    i think i just came…

  • Derek

    I KNOW I just came
    seriously, my 3 favorite bands (opeth, btbam and dt) all on one tour together?
    I’ve never heard 3 but I’m always willing to listen
