A few days before the Paris fair, DREAM THEATER also produced the entire "The Number of the Beast" album when it appeared at the Astoria in London. They played the material exactly like on the original album, with the exception of "Ganglands"which was done in a jazz style. DREAM THEATERwhich feature a single guitarist in the form of the very capable John Petruccireproduced the second guitar parts with the keyboard player Jordan Rudess play them on the keys, including solos. After an intermission in the regular set, then-DREAM THEATER drummer Mike portnoy came on stage wearing a YOUNG LADY shirt, after which the classic "The Number of the Beast" the spoken intro has started. "The Number of the Beast" album cover was projected behind the band, but with DREAM THEATER in the style of IRON MAIDEN soon.
Last year, DREAM THEATERit is James LaBrie confirmed to The Metal Voice of Canada that he had been asked to try out for the position of vocalist in IRON MAIDEN when Bruce Dickinson quit British heavy metal legends in 1993. He said: "At the time, we were considered to be run by IRON MAIDENmanagement. And so, [MAIDEN's manager] Smallwood rodAt the time, we were playing darts, and he pulled me aside and said, 'What do you think of…?'
“You have to remember – I was in a very weird situation,” he continued. " DREAM THEATERwe had already recorded [1992's] “Pictures and Words”, we were looking for direction, we were preparing to try to organize a tour and go out. And I remember him telling me — he pulls me aside, and the rest of the guys from DREAM THEATER were there too, playing darts, because we were looking for him for management. And he said, 'I just want to throw something at you.' And he also had his assistant with him – Merck – at the time. And they were both standing there. They said, 'How do you feel about being the singer with IRON MAIDEN?' And I said, 'What? what are we talking about here? I'm confused. Aren't you here for the reason you might start to manage DREAM THEATER? Or are you here for me to become...? And I had already recorded the [DREAM THEATER] album. Can you imagine how weird that was?
Labrie said, "Anyway, so I just said, 'No. No way. You know what? I'll tell you the reasons why I'm not going to do this. And they said, 'What is this?' And I said, 'One: DREAM THEATER. That's it. Period.' And I said, 'But if I have to take this further, a long time ago when I was 22, I sang for a band called CONEY'S HATCH for one year. And I walked [in as the replacement for] another singer [named] Carl Dixon', and I said, 'and basically what I felt was a glorified jukebox.' And I said, "Because I got into the band, I was able to sing all of that with no problem – no problem – but there was never this 'This is me.' And that's what I created. It was about, 'Do you look at me for who and what I am?' I do not think so. And I don't think you ever will.
« Bruce and i have a mutual respect for each other. We have met several times. We did several shows. I remember doing the BBC show with him. And there was this mutual respect between the two of us. And I just remember thinking, 'I'm not gonna go out and sing YOUNG LADY every night — even though I think it's a great group, and Bruce is a great singer. No thanks.' I need to create something that I can say, 'No, that's what je created from the beginning.' And we all know, okay, I wasn't the first [DREAM THEATER] album, "When dream and day unite"."
James added: “Et [the offer to audition for MAIDEN] Came and went. As quickly as it was requested, it was rejected. And they went, 'All respect. Totally understood. No problem.' Boom. And we continued. »
