My brother: "And now imagine an obese Mexican going..."
Me, cutting in: "Dude, give up drugs. I know your drugs are Youtube videos, still, give up them."

Probably because the famous odd synthbass baseline in this song happened due to the band accidentally playing the tape in reverse and liking the result.

It's a bit more crazy than that.
Arjen Lucassen, like Mike Oldfield, does all music by himself, and invites various vocalists to sing for him.
His main "project" is called Ayreon. There, just about every song is different vocalist and so on.
Star One is different, it's a "heavier" project, and with a consistent lineup.
The first album had songs about various "space" movies and shows.
Set Your Controls is Dr.Who, Intergalactic Space Crusaders is Blake's 7, and so on.
(They recorded second album recently, about dystopian movies. Opening track is about The Matrix. ;))
This live album has, of course, more musicians; Arjen plays guitar, but couldn't play everything else himself live at the same time. ;)
Anyway, this live DVD, has some, not all, songs from the first studio album, and a bunch of Ayreon songs performed by the Star One lineup.
And seriously, some of the latter (Isis and Osiris, The Eyes Of Time, so on) sound BETTER than originals.

Anyway, if you're searching on YT, check (all performed by Star One, from the same DVD):
High Moon (that's a Star One song)
Songs Of The Ocean (also Star One song)
Dawn of a Million Souls (that one's Ayreon)
Into The Black Hole (also Ayreon)
Isis And Osiris (Ditto)

From there, I've found out about Ayreon itself, checked out their stuff, and loved it. A bit gentler, but still great music. Maybe you'll like it too. ;)

Glad you liked. :)
I've actually bought the live album, from which these Youtube videos are from. 2CD + DVD, something around $20 with shipping.
That's, quite literally, my first purchase of a "real CD" ever. I've bought some albums before, but only as downloads.

Awwm c'mon!
I LOVE Porcupine Tree! Check out "Blackest Eyes", maybe? (Also, "Trains", "Deadwing", "Anesthetize"... ;))

And, something I've juuuust posted in another forum (15 minutes ago or so):

So I've just randomly stumbled upon Star One today...

(Live) The Eye Of Ra (Studio)
... and the rest of the songs too. ;)

Been listening for last... erm, what? Three hours?! Apparently it's after 5am now...

I'm a thinker, I could break it down... ♫♪
(Warning, track 03 in the FLAC download is broken - fixed version here)

Interstate Warcraft 3 LAN parties

I assume you meant Warcraft II there... 3 is definitely running on IP, not IPX. ;)

Yay, totally unsuspicious trapdoor...

Also, I assume Lieutenant's change of color is intentional, as he seems kinda half-way through it in the bottom left panel.

Is the flaming thing a robot?
