Anybody out there like the band Dream Theater?
For those who are into progressive music of the heavy type would like them. Supposedly they've been around for a long time, but their music is generally too long for TV or radio.

James LaBrie (lead singer) lives in my town. Nice guy. Not a huge fan of their music though...
their guitarist (petrucci) is mindnumbingly talented...i definately like their general vibe, but i've never been able to enjoy the vocalist, no matter how hard i try.
05 - Vacant
06 - Stream Of Consciousness
and
05-panic attack
are the main songs i listen to every now and then.
you might like "liquid tension experiment". same guitarist, keyboardist, adn drummer...little more mellow, and mostly instrumental.
Liquid Tension Experiment is good also..."Paradigm Shift" is an amazing song.
Yes they have been around for a while, since the 80s. Their first album (When Dream And Day Unite) was released in 89.
I own all of their studio albums bar the first and latest (Octavarium). Images and Words to Scenes From A Memory are all solid releases, mostly fantastic music. But Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence was a bit average, and Train of Thought was TERRIBLE in my opinion. I don't like what i've heard of Octavarium either, and i'm not a fan of the recent live footage i've seen. Basically, since Rudess joined the band, i've liked them less and less. I'm not blaming it on him, but he marks a change in the band, and the direction they took (which was the entire reason for him coming on board) doesn't sit well with me.
But like i said, their older material is great, classic stuff.
I also own all their albums, though the only ones I listen to are Images and Words, Scenes..., Once in a Livetime, and occasionally Train of Thought.
The rest never really caught on with me. But they're one of my fav bands.
Dream theater is Awesome. I just started listening to them a few months ago, a friend of mine was going around telling everyone to listen to them so I did.
Good band... Havnt heard allot of stuff... but their good
I love the band all the music they make is pretty good. I just can't stand LaBrie, I love the music but I don't like the vocalist. I went to a concert and the voice was even worse. Some people do love him, so I think either you love him or you hate him :shock:
I can't say I'm a huge fan, but I listen to Dream Theater/ Petrucci occaisionally. There's definitely some cool stuff and some cool licks, but sometimes it gets old.
