Dream Theater Day on May 4, 2023

Dream Theater fans in the Philippines, "May the Fourth" be with you, as the progressive metal band Dream Theater is in for a treat this 2023.

Dream Theater, comprised of James LaBrie, John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung, and Mike Mangini, were in the middle of a sold-out world tour in support of their last release, Distance Over Time, and the 20th anniversary of Scenes From A Memory when a global pandemic brought the world to a stop. The musicians found themselves at home with LaBrie in Canada and the rest of the group in the States. As fate would have it, they’d just finished construction on DTHQ (Dream Theater Headquarters), a combination live recording studio, rehearsal space, control room, equipment storage facility, and creative hive. With LaBrie in Canada, he initially wrote with the band via Zoom on a monitor in DTHQ. In March 2021, he flew down to New York, quarantined himself, and recorded his vocals face-to-face with Petrucci. The album, A View From The Top Of The World, ultimately threaded together lean and uncompromising hooks with tried-and-true technical proficiency.

"We just love to play our instruments," observes Petrucci. "That never goes away. I love to be creative, write, and exercise that part of my mind. We’ve been able to do this for a long time, and we don’t take it for granted. Whenever we get together, we know we can’t disappoint ourselves or our fans, so we manage to try even harder."

"We approach every album like it’s our first," adds LaBrie. "It’s been such a great ride, but we’re not going to stop."

"My takeaway from Manila, for the first time, is that "it was incredible" and I really don’t know how to describe it better than we have. We didn’t know what to expect; we did get there, and finally, we’re doing the concert. It was an amazing experience; the fans were absolutely fantastic, and we could tell that they were having an amazing time and a great experience. Go, the first time there was phenomenal, and that’s why we’re coming back. Absolutely!" answered Labrie when asked about their takeaway from their first concert in the Philippines.

Their "Top of the World" tour in the Philippines will take place at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on May 4, 2023 (8:00 p.m.), presented by Ovation Productions. Tickets are available at ticketnet.com.ph. Tickets are priced at PHP 2,750 (lower box), PHP 4,750 (patron C), PHP 5,750 (patron B), PHP 6,750 (patron A), and PHP 7,250 (VIP).

The Trash

Macho Actor (MA) never fails to attract attention. His looks and stance make his presence felt. Even if he tries to keep a low profile, MA will always be noticed.

With his name recall and status in showbiz, having women was not a problem to MA. A few years ago, several trainees were excited to see MA check-in to their workplace. As a celebrity, MA was not spared from the keen, subtle observation of his fans. The trainees noticed that a number of women came over to his room throughout the night and spent time.

Come cleaning time after checkout, the cleaners were dismayed at seeing the room where MA stayed. The room was messy, which was not surprising. However, what shocked them was the number of used rubbers in the trash. They could only assume what transpired with the women guests who visited him. Perhaps, the legend he was known for was indeed true. Nonetheless, the room scene shattered that image for the trainees who saw how he left his room.

Sadly, MA was already known to be an ideal married man at that time. He had a wife and his family was highly respected. His behavior away from them said much about his true self.

‘If you ever wonder whether or not someone is too good for you, I'd advise going through their trash. Really. No one looks superior after that.’ ― Ally Carter

Repost: Eyewitness Account of Paul Soriano Incident at Presscon of Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens is so sweet and accommodating. She doesn’t deserve to be dragged into this.”

This has been the main message of a reporter who personally witnessed the supposed hullabaloo that happened at Hollywood star Vanessa Hudgen’s press conference in Bonifacio Global City yesterday.

Philstar.com was also at the event to cover and spoke with several media personalities present. We choose not to name these press people to spare them from bashing or further scrutiny.

According to non-eyewitness claims, director Paul Soriano, who is directing Hudgens’ travel documentary about her Filipino heritage, was seen shouting and causing a commotion because he allegedly hates the press. But according to eyewitness accounts, including that of Philstar.com, Soriano did not maltreat or argue with the press. Philstar.com has interviewed Soriano several times before, and never had an issue with the director, who was actually very pleasant and quotable.

“What I saw is that Paul was arguing with a staff, not the press, because he was surprised that there were one-on-one interviews after the presscon, and he seemed to be not informed about this,” a reporter told Philstar.com in an online call this morning.

“But Paul never raised his voice. Hindi n’ya rin kami pinalayas (He also did not impolitely dispatched the press),” the reporter attested.

One of Soriano's staff members reached out to Philstar.com and clarified that the director knew there were one-on-one interviews, he just wanted to rush things up because they still had to shoot more scenes for the documentary before Vanessa flew out.

Another reporter affirmed to Philstar.com that the interviews were indeed cut, so a prominent TV host, who came very early to the event in anticipation of an exclusive interview, was unable to do so.

Another reporter told Philstar.com in a separate online call that she spoke with the TV personality who was cut and the TV host was indeed “frustrated” to be unable to interview, but according to the reporter, as a journalist, the TV host understands that this happens and interviewees have the right to refuse interviews. As consolation, the TV host was able to take pictures with Vanessa, a privilege that not many media people had at the presscon. Other reporters were actually even very thankful to Paul for the interview opportunities.

When asked why food was not served to many media members at the event, one of Paul’s staff told Philstar.com in an online call this morning that it was no longer the director’s fault anymore since contrary to claims, he did not order to deprive the media members with food and this did not have anything to do with the alleged commotion.

After the interviews were cut, Philstar.com and other remaining media members heard Vanessa singing “Dahil Sa’yo” behind closed curtains because it is said to be going to be included in her travel documentary.

A reporter told Philstar.com that she was told by a staff that the media was dispersed earlier than expected to give way for Paul’s wife Toni Gonzaga to have an interview exclusive with Vanessa.

All the while, the Hollywood star was praised because amid the commotion, she remained “very calm and composed.”

The reporter feels that Vanessa does not deserve to be bashed just because Soriano, a President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. supporter, is directing her travel documentary.

“She had no complaints or anything bad to say about her stay here in the Philippines,” the reporter told Philstar.com.

“I know that if she could only do so and she has no flight to catch, she’s so nice that she would accommodate everyone who would like to interview her.”

Philstar.com has reached out to Soriano for comment, but is yet to hear from the director.
