charic Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Well me and a mate will be meeting Dream Theater in feb @ wembley arena as we just shelled out for VIP tickets for their new tour! Can't wait, have never done anything like this before and they are by FAR my favourite band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geilerbass Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I got to do a meet and greet last tour in Manchester. Very friendly and down-to-earth guys, but you feel you're kind of getting herded through a bit. They did pose for photos with everyone, though, which was pretty cool. Regardless, it will be a memorable experience if you're a big fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderbird13 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Cool - although I always go out of my way NOT to meet any band I like just in case they turn out to be idiots Although I'm sure DT are to professional to come across that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in the first 5 rows, the first time so far that I have been glad Portnoy left as now I'm much less likely to get spat on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the deal? Now taking bets on me blinking for the photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure what that would entail... I actually got the signing thing free, being a fan club member - it just so happened that uptake on the VIP thing was low in Manchester, so they made time for fan club members as well. So hopefully, you'll get a bit more time than I did, being a paying punter and all Ask John Myung about his basses - despite his reputation for being incredibly quiet, he wouldn't stop talking when I asked him how the Ernie Ball was working out.
