Friday Live Chat - Cancelled

Hey all, Kirk here.

We're going to have to cancel today's scheduled live chat. 

YouTube is hard, and in the realm of all that we do, having to deal on the legal front with copyrights on a daily basis adds to that stress level.  Our team of lawyers are the best in the business on this front, but it still takes an emotional toll when events occur like what happened today.

To catch people up to speed: Our video received a manual block during the premiere for today's video.  A 55 minute long analysis video, the longest and most intricate video to date.

It's adversity created on days like today that pushing through takes a toll.  It has to be met with the right kind of care that comes at shutting things down to deal with that pain and come back stronger.

We apologize.  Know that I am working tirelessly to fix the issue, and E and I will be back next week to field questions and comments.  

We love you all.  Thank you again for all of your support.  You make this worthwhile.

Best,

Kirk

Wow, I'm sorry to hear this. Hope you're doing ok, and that you managed to sort things out. However: No apologies needed. We are here for you, and we don't get upset and mad when you have to cancel something! Especially not when it's due to reasons like this. I am also, very disappointed with Mercury, gosh. Like Harbinger wrote, this is just ridiculous. I am hoping things will work out for you in this and other cases that might happen. In the meantime: Take care of yourselves and know that we are here and we support you!

No apologies needed. I joined Patreon to show my support for the channel, and this is part of that. To put things into perspective - over the course of 23 studio and live albums, Dream Theater has sold about 2 million albums in the US, 12 million world wide. To break that down as a base average, that is around 520k sales per album worldwide (with roughly 87k US sales) of a band that gets virtually no airplay. You have 570k+ followers... What kind of a moronic person would block that kind of potential exposure!?! They should be BEGGING you guys for a react video!!! If I were the manager of DT, I'd be on the phone with Mercury screaming "Are you out of your F$CKING minds!!?!!" I am reminded of the line from the movie Airplane - "Chump don' want no help, chump don't GET da help!" PS - As a "stick it to the man" action, if possible, you could release E's reaction and insert "Start" and "Stop" in the video screen so people can simulate the experience by playing the video on another device. I'd play along just to screw with the idiots making these decisions! :-)
