The only people who really like Dream Theater are teenage kids trying to learn guitar. I guess if you only know guitar tab and don’t know shit about music theory or whatever their shreddy nonsense might blow your mind but anyone who listens to jazz is not going to be phased. Besides these guys are like professors not rockers. Shouldn’t you douchebags be giving a lecture on tonal harmony at a conservatory somewhere? I don’t think Slash or Jimi Hendrix would really come out with a bunch of beginners guitar DVDs or whatever, that shit’s too gay for real rockstars.

Easily the most boring band in existence “Oh let’s stand around doodling our instruments for thirty fucking minutes”

Are you fucking kidding me?

props to vince for posting this. someone needed to say it.

i’m sick and tired of all the douchebags who say that dream theater is all over-technical, super-fast, emotionless, show-off rock. have any of you guys even listened to them before, or are you just following this stupid fucking trend of hating on a band just because they are known for their technical ability? sure, they can shred up a storm when they want, but it’s all done in a melodic way. if you can sit through an entire dream theater song such as octavarium, learning to live, or the glass prison, and still say you don’t like them, then fine. they just don’t do anything for you. but i honestly doubt that you would be able to truthfully say that they “suck” after listening to those songs.

I’ve seen DT 4 times so far. Love them live, no they’re not jumping around, but that’s not the type of band they are. James is the vocalist, he’ll probably remain their vocalist so deal with it. Yes they’re PROG, they’ve never claimed to be METAL, they’re just DREAM THEATER.

Ordered the box set, can’t wait to hear it…

Absolutely agree, can’t believe this is the same place where constant post about iwrestledacockonce and similar bands where ruining the page. Great post, it’s also funny to see it brought out all the haters.

Yes the vocals spoil it for me too.

Yeah, the vocals are pretty horrendous… give me a vocalist like Mathias Blad from Falconer or Joakim Brodén from Sabaton any day over LaBrie.

Still, that aside, Dream Theater writes some truly killer songs, and I’m eagerly awaiting the new album.

Man, I didn’t realize how bad LaBrie’s vocals had gotten. Especially when he sings the “Pull Me Under” chorus.

“So if you want simple hooks and sing along songs. How come you aren’t All Nickelback fans? They have guitars. They have guitar playing that won’t make you think what so ever.”

I just really hate the strawman fallacy, so I thought I’d point it out.

Yeah that’s a fair observation. The show I went to there was a guy a couple rows over who had a guitar neck so he could shred along with Petrucci.

dream theater=cock rock

it’s too much “check us out, were fast and technical”, than “listen to this good song we wrote”.

i am a guitarist and i couldn’t give a shit about blasting arpeggios at lightning speed, it still needs to sound good and fit the song…

i think thats the whole reason i always like dimebag 1000 times better than almost any other guitarist, simply for the fact that everyone was up DT/Slayer/Satriani’s etc. ass because they are so fast, but their shit never catches you right. Dimes solos told a story, as gay as that sounds, and almost always fit the song…. you went on a ride, hills and valleys…. yes there was some showboating, but they were never about check out how badass “I” am, but more like “check out how well this solo fits this badass song”

any guitarist that takes that style over cock rocking penis measuring wankery is doing it the right way in my book
