I must say that I like the studio version a LOT more! And I don't see the big deal about the missing "Please Don't Go." Sure, it would have been nice if James would have kept the "Please Don't Go" in the studio version, but it's not a HUGE difference. I just think the studio version sounds 10 times better than the live Subcon version, with or without "Please don't go."

Archangel isn't even WITH X-factor any more! Get your X-books straight! There's only like 50 of them. The main problem is that if Polaris doesn't be careful, she could screw up Forge's bionic arm and leg.

Thanks a lot, Mike! And I also have to thank him for completing my Magic Ice Age collection as he sent me the last 5 cards I needed for the set! Oh yeah, and WDaTU is great, but I AM disappointed by the low quaility of TOWHTSTS since that's my favorite song from WDADU. Otherwise, it's a great CD.

Lord of the Flies is the first song on the X-factor CD which is a combination Iron Maiden / Dream Theater CD featuring Archangel's heavy wings, Spider-man clones, James and Chuck D singing in the shower (not together), and a special appearance by Bruce Dickenson singing Rush's "Tears."

Especially since BOTH of the old Mack-truck Optimus Primes are no longer produced. Of the course the later version was a black truck, not red.

It has not a damn thing to do with DT or music at all! I say we all send this lady a vicious e-mail telling her how idiotic she is. I could handle one paragraph telling us about her business and if we wanted more info we could e-mail her and then have her send us the essay instead of having her send it to the jam. It was just more convenient for her to send it to the jam. Man people are ignorant sometimes! Times like these make me wish for moderation. Only for times like this though!
