Entire Dream Theater catalog a possibility!

[davidshek]

EDIT: Okay, that article came after HMXEnosity's statement. Has this been clarified yet? Has the limit changed, or did Wired make a mistake?

Wired made a mistake. From the FAQ in the Beta forums:

What's the minimum and maximum length for a song?
The minimum song length is 30 seconds. The maximum song length is 10 minutes.

hopefully HMX puts all of it on the ps3

I will be every Dream Theater song that comes out.

Did you mean "buy"? Because I wouldn't want to transform into some of their songs, such as Panic Attack, but I would most certainly buy DT's entire catalog.

Oh great. Again people who prefer on-disc content/non-digital copies of things will be screwed...

Just for the record, DVDs are digital.

i'm only buying dream theater if HMX presses analog copies.

Wait, these are 16-bit remixes, right? 'Cause I'll only buy them if they're the 16-bit versions.

From the Dream Theater forums, a posted conversation between the person who runs the official Dream Theater fanclub and DT's keyboardist Jordan Rudess near the bottom of Page 3:

Well, since Shadow (thats me lol) has pestered me from my sick bed, I've done the transcription for yous.

I told JR that I didn't know much about it but people were saying somebody needed to ask the band about it so I was going to...

KP (thats the DT fanclub runner): Rock Band Network – what do you know about it?

JR (Jordan Rudess): Video games? Yeah, it’s when you prepare the song for people to play and a lot of bands are doing it themselves…

KP: Yeah, I think it has to come from the band…

JR: Well, we’re very aware of that. Actually, the guy, Chris Romero, who’s our main keyboard transcriber has spoken to me about that and I’ve spoken to our management and everyone’s really aware of it. We’re just waiting for things to work out on a business level I think with that ‘coz’ we’d all love to see it happen…

KP: Rumour was from Ryan Marziarz (Tabs)…

JR: Yeah, the other transcriber…

KP: that there’s talk that you might do the entire catalogue. Do you know if that’s true?

JR: Well, yeah, hmm, nothing’s happened yet. It would be cool and if they get the go-ahead they’ll be happy – it’s a lot of work! [laughter]

KP: So… it’s something that everybody’s looking at and if it can happen it will happen?

JR: Yeah, for sure! Absolutely. I think it would be a really cool thing.

KP: Great! Thank you!

Hope this meets your expectations!

This could happen!

YEAH! That's awesome! Totally confirms the post in the OP. (I'll add that convo to the OP as well.)

Nice to see that they're so aware of what the RBN is and that they're all so positive about it.

I would pay ANYTHING to have A Change of Seasons. I think they could easily break it up into its seven parts and release it like an album since they can't release the rest of the songs because they're all covers.
