Members teemuk Posted December 22, 2010 Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 Dream Theater is boring and I really couldn't care less about them.This. The thread should have ended right here. A Nightmare to Remember and Count of Tuscany are some of the worst lyrics EVER!! Indeed:"It's a miracle he lived. It's a blessing no one died,by the grace of god above everyone survived. ....RAAAHHRGHH!!!"Now that's metal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurityS.L.G. Posted December 22, 2010 Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 the whole band should break up {censored}ing this! Liquid Tension Experiment should reform rather than continue on with DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Busbee Posted December 22, 2010 Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 They need to drop LeBrie, get a new Soilwork type singer, get Thomas Lang and go with it. Marco is killer, but I think about him being really good humored and not intense enough for what I would like to see and hear. I can't get away from him doing the Gilbert Starship thing...he would be awesome shredding Shrapnel type records...Satch? Being a drummer first, I kinda have preset ideas about things. No facepalm, please, we all work like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got more than enough screamers 'n' grunters out there, thank you very much, and Dream Theater as a br00tz band would go over like a {censored}ing fart in church. I would like to hear them get a better SINGER, though, only I'm thinking more the Ray Alder/Russell Allen variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shredhead7 Posted December 22, 2010 Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 I was a huge DT fan in the 90's. I loved everything that they did. The problem came when they started to blatantly rip off other bands in their riffs. Scenes tried to be Pink Floyd's the Wall, Six Degrees they were in a big Tool phase, Train they were into Pantera, Octo was Muse, etc...Once you know the bands that they're into at the moment, you can hear the riffs instantly. They want to be heavy without actually writing a truly heavy riff. Honestly, one of the heaviest riffs they ever wrote was The Mirror. Simple riff with the drums laying a groove around it. They think that writing some riff that changes time sig's every other bar is going to come across as heavy. It just doesn't work. They just meander around, aimlessly. Hell, Jame's new release is way better and heavier than anything that DT has produced in the last 10 years. Just come up with a riff in 4/4, and run some 16th's on the kick's. It isn't rocket science, but they try to reinvent the wheel every time and fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dolf Posted December 22, 2010 Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 Still, though, it's a pretty {censored}ty situation for Portnoy. Portnoy - "Hey, I'm going to quit my other project so that I can focus on touring with you guys" A7X - "ok, sweet, let us know how it goes" *Portnoy quits DT* *random backlash* A7X - "Hey, we don't like how after you quit DT people were mad about it, so you're out of the band" Portnoy - "Wait, what? You don't like the press we got after I quit the other band to focus on you guys so you're FIRING ME?" A7X - "Yeah." Portnoy - "MAYBE YOU COULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS A POSSIBILITY LIKE...I DUNNO, A WHILE BACK?" A7X - "No hard feelings, bro." Portnoy - "Hey DT, can I come back?" DT - "No." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BerkleeBill Posted December 22, 2010 Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 Back in 1994, in one of the first dates on the Awake tour, DT played at their old stomping grounds -- the Berklee Performance Center. Our Lady Peace opened the show. 5 songs into their set, OLP's lead singer stopped to yell at the audience; a full house of discerning and over-analyzing Berklee students.... "WTF are you all staring at? Can't you guys let loose and rock out to our music? This sucks! I feel like I'm playing to a {censored}ing wall mural !!" Boos ensued. OLP left the stage shortly thereafter, and nobody was all that upset about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
