Talking Into Infinity - Episode 108 – Saying Goodbye to Ozzy Osbourne!

We host a DT podcast, so you’d figure that we would know our stuff when it comes to all manner of trivia about the band – but do we? We test our qualifications and put ourselves through a number of online Dream Theater quizzes to how much we REALLY know about our favorite band!#johnpetrucci #mikeportnoy #jordanrudess #johnmyung#jameslabrie #dreamtheater #podcast #talkingintoinfinity

With Symphony X embarking on their first proper U.S. tour in a decade, we decided to dive into one of the band’s most beloved and iconic releases – 2007’s Paradise Lost! Is it a little slice of heaven, as most fans agree – or is it actually a little bit of hell? We give our thoughts on this incredible slab of prog metal greatness!

It’s another ranking show on TII! This time around, a discussion about ranking the opening songs on each of the DT studio albums got us thinking… what are our top album opening songs of all time – by ANY band? Some of our answers just might surprise you!

Say it ain’t so, Dave! Megadeth has announced thattheir upcoming album and world tour will be their last – on this episode of TII, we look back on one of the most influential and genre-changing bands in music history and give our thoughts (and personal stories!) about arguably thesecond-most important band in thrash metal history!#johnpetrucci #mikeportnoy #jordanrudess #johnmyung#jameslabrie #dreamtheater #podcast #talkingintoinfinity #megadeth #davemustaine #megadethretiring #megadethretires

It’s the next entry in our series of “you can’t have DT”, so… it’s 2009 and you walk into the record store to buy Black Clouds and Silver Linings… and the clerk tells you that you CAN’T buy it! You HAVE to choose something else… what records are you grabbing? We give OUR choices for what we’d buy when we can’t have what we really want – the new Dream Theater record!#johnpetrucci #mikeportnoy #jordanrudess #johnmyung#jameslabrie #dreamtheater #podcast #talkingintoinfinity

The rock and metal worlds are in mourning as we allsay goodbye to the man who started it all for us – the legendary Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away last week at age 76 – just 17 days after his final performance. We talk about Ozzy’s legacy, his enduring impact, as well as tell some personal stories about the Prince of Darkness and the influence he had on us both - along with our good friend and guest co-host Chris Akin.#johnpetrucci #mikeportnoy #jordanrudess #johnmyung#jameslabrie #dreamtheater #podcast #talkingintoinfinity #ozzyosbourne #ripozzy#ripozzyosbourne #ozzy #blacksabbath #backtothebeginning

We’ve pitted a lot of albums against one another – especially a lot of Dream Theater against Dream Theater… but! We have NEVER pitted a single member of DT against themselves! On this episode, that’s exactly what we’re doing as we throw John Petrucci’s two solo records Suspended Animation and Terminal Velocity into the octagon to see which one comes out victorious!
