I'm not really sure if this has been done before, and I tried searching but maybe I missed it, anyways...
What was the Tim song that sealed the deal for you? By that I mean, the song that made you want to hear more.
I remember I had downloaded a D&T show and of course "Tim Solo 1" was there, cause that's all they were named. I listened to it and was blown away. I mean, I'd already bought Stream, but the one song made me go out and buy See Into Your Soul, and when I listened to Rheginos and the Resurrection I literally shat myself, because that was the one song that I had been listening to the whole time. After that it was Gossip of the Neurons, then Sancturary, then Nomadic, then Astral Projection, then Puke Matrix, then Sticks and Stones: Transmigration, and then finally Chaos View. So that's my story. |

| I'd say Feeling Doors, cause that was the first TR song besides Stream that I heard. |
"Hey man...you smell..."
"Oh yeah?"
"yeah...like dinner..." |

| I'd actually only heard stream from live at Luther and then my brother noticed that Tim would soon be playing in the area and I rushed to get tickets but before the show I downloaded about twenty songs but the show was what really sealed the deal so to speak. I about shat myself plenty of times. The song of his that I really dug that I downloaded though was one that he introduced as protoplasm pulsar spasm. My friend and I got really high one night and I was showing him some Tim and that song came on. Holy shit I about had a spasm myself. The strobe light might have had some effect. Seriously though I was moving almost uncrontrollably it was freaking awesome. That's when I really went into a get high and listen to Tim phase. |

Hey Arthen, it doesn't exactly discuss "which song" got people into TR, but it does discuss HOW people discovered TR:

| Hearing the Wayfarer on SIYS made me want to hear more. Seeing Letting Go on the old HOB video broadcast ( remember the old FTP?) clinched it for me. |

| Acoustically, it was definatley Protoplasm Pulsar Spasm that hooked me, I couldn't comprehend all that sound coming out of one guitar. As for electric, I assume it was Tim's solos on watchtower, crush... ect during the 98 DMB tour that originally amazed me with TR. That led to me buying Puke Matrix Tour Live (my first TR cd), and every song on there was amazing to me. |

| Seeing TR live clinched it for me. The first time I really took notice of TR was on the DMB Live at Red Rocks CD. I could tell by the couple solos he did on that album he was a force to be reckoned with. It was at the second TR3 gig I witnesses that I was actually able to buy a few of his CDs. "Sanctuary” and “Light Up Ahead” were the two he had for sale and I bought both. I have bought everything he has done ever since, not to mention that I’ll drive for hours to check him out live. “Signs” on ‘Light Up Ahead’ was the first tune that I played over and over. The riff was so infectious. |
