Dream Theater

[nowitzki]

Voices is the only song that I enjoy on Awake, I got into it cause it goes from Octavarium to that on Once In a Livetime on winamp, so I always listen to it.

Innocence Faded, The Mirror, Lie, Lifting Shadows of a Dream, Space-Dye vest and Voices...all class songs off a class album

Your opinions changed quickly...:rolleyes:

[Happy]

No but I bet tons of the people in his class are planning to.
Yeah, everyone thinks that a popular easy song gets them good marks.

We have to record a 3-5 minute song for our GCSEs it counts for 20% or 30% of it, I forget which.
DOE is a tad too long.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I find it quite sad that some people won't play the perfect song to their ability because they don't like the song. They just end up playing something stupidly easy like green day and just waste their GCSE.

Exactly, they're chosing Green Day over a grade piece which could get them a higher mark. If the DT plan fails I'll play a piece my guitar teacher gave me. I don't know what grade it is but he said played perfectly it will get me an A*

So today, in music class, we watched this video of the 2003 Drum Festival or something. So, as a joke, I asked if Mike Portney was on it, and my music teacher responds "Yeah, that guy's awesome." So for the last five minutes of class we got to watch DT play Dance of Eternity.

No way! My teacher wouldn't have a clue who anyone that isn't German or something is that I like. He always says to us, "you all listen to pop music that is always in 4/4". So I took him in some DT and he was away that day...:upset: .

[Shattered_Future]

My theory teacher likes DT. :D

I have undertaken attempting to learn Home...I have up to the verse part so far, the open D chords part. The song's not too hard, barring the fact that there are some impossible runs up the neck, and the solo will cause my hands to spontaneously shatter.

[Shattered_Future]

My theory teacher's awesome...he knows tons about bands I like. Tool, Symphony X, Queensryche...and so forth.

There's a few kids in my class who like DT, and I have a few friends who I went to Gigantour with who like them.

The only people in my town that like Dream Theater are my guitar teacher and a few friends that I brainwashed. Most people listen to rap and pop.

Just try to brinwash some people into liking DT, so you have people to talk to about DT in school.

Yeah, it's great having them just to chat DT with them. We do get a lot of odd looks when we're talking about 20+min songs.

[Liquid Fantasy]

the only person i know that likes DT is my best friend and shes a girl, all of my schoolmates listen to punk :S

[GenuineImitation]

I usually try to break people in with Lie, As I Am or Pull Me Under. Those songs just seem easier to get into if someone never heard dream theater before.

If they already like prog, it should be fairly easy. It may be slightly harder if they like prog rock, more than prog metal.

Thats because they dont really get mainstream exposure as other rock/metal bands do. Once they do hear a few songs, they quickly realize he might of Dream theater.

and me, i don't know why people are so fascinated with the SFAM shirt. someone at uni a few weeks ago when i wore it asked "what's a dream theater?"

that's the only DT shirt you can buy anywhere though, especially in the UK, which is why i bought another 2 from the wolverhampton gig.

I went ott at the gig and bought a 30 quid tee, and a 26 quid longsleeved Medium one.
The longsleeved one is so unbelievably beautiful.

The only time DT came to my state was on Gigantour. But at that time I had never heard of them. Now I almost have all of their albums.

I got my ToT shirt in France, you rarely see DT shirts.
I'm sure it's worth checking ebay every so often.

I only have Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, Metallica's Master of Puppets and a Led Zeppelin shirt (it has a guy ontop of a rock formation on the right side of the shirt. I believe he is called the Hermit.).

I want the DT Train of Thought shirt and the shirt that has all of their album covers on it.

Kevin Moore saw a magazine with a model on it wearing a "space dye vest." I think he just got out of a relationship and he "fell in love" with the girl in the picture, so he wrote a song about it(or something like that)
its also like a farewell song for Kevin(since it's his song), DT doesn't play it live because they want to show respect to kevin. They actually invited him to play space dye vest live with them for LSFNY, but he declined because he wants to put Dream Theater in his past

[Happy]

Oh right. Thanks for telling me.

[HNLzero]

Are the choruses of "New Millenium" and "This Dying Soul" supposed to sound alike?

I hope we will be all voting JLB in the polls like Good boys and girls?

Since I last posted here, I couldn't get into the "Awake" album, and well I still haven't been able to get into it. I did get a few favorite songs from the album though which is Mirror and the Instrumental song.

Something just doesn't pull me into the album like Octavarium did, either way still enjoyable which is moneys worth for me.

Awake is like that, I was the same for ages and thought I would never get into it. But one day I finally did. However I prefer the 2nd half of the album much more than the 1st (with the exception of Erotomania). The last 3 songs are just sublime.

Personally, I think the title track of 8vm is incredible, one of DTs best compositions ever. The rest is a bit hit and miss. I think I am one of the few people who loves I Walk Beside You :D

[Lord Abortion]

I love I walk beside you, These walls and The answer lies within,aswell as the TT off 8VM

Believe me, it will grow on you. I didn't enjoy it very much before, now I love it and listen to it all the time.:naughty:

[scenesfromatheater]

I didn't really appriciate 8V that much when I first heard it because I was comparing it to the other albums and because it's obviously not as prog as the other albums, I didn't enjoy it that much.

I now think the album is absolutly incredible. Amazing songs on there:) . The only song I dislike is Sacrificed Sons...it's just plain boring. Definatly the worst song they played live aswell.

[Prince of Darkness]

Finally Free off SFAM is so good. I've never heard it until the other day, so it's a new DT song for me. I like the live one on SFNY dvd. The drumming is fukin amazing. Portnoy defanatly knows how to break down some great rolls.

But still, Danny Carey>Mike Portnoy

I think it's a B-Side cause it's definatly not from an album.

[nowitzki]

It's one of the songs that was recorded during the FII sessions but never made it onto the album.

[Lord Abortion]

In a Raise the knife style?

That song is actually rather good.

[Shattered_Future]

I thought Speak To Me was a Pink Floyd song? :confused:

Maybe not...

I think they played A Fortune In Lies at Gigantour...good song.

[nowitzki]

I thought Speak To Me was a Pink Floyd song? :confused:

The first track on DSOTM is called Speak To Me, but its not a song, just an intro track.


I think they played A Fortune In Lies at Gigantour...good song.

They played it when I saw them in London. It's a great song.

Yeah, it was cut just like RTK. I've never heard it, apparently they played it in Wolverhampton.

[classicrockman]

Okay, I have all of Dream Theater's albums execpt for 'When Dream & Day Unite' and 'Scenes From A Memory.'

I heard that WDADU kinda sucks becuase of the singer, and that SFAM is too progressive. So I'm sort of holding out on both.

Which of those albums should I get next?

[bwnstl]

Definitely SFAM. WDADU is just bad. Bad recording quality so you can't easily hear the brilliance of the musicianship and bad singer, so.....yeah.

[classicrockman]

Is it easy to listen to? 'Cause I heard that's the hardest part about that album.

[Lord Abortion]

SFAM...hands down, just get the live versions of the WDADU songs with James on...easy as pie.

[classicrockman]

SFAM...hands down, just get the live versions of the WDADU songs with James on...easy as pie.
The thing with SFAM is that to some DT fans, It's their best album, and others...it's their worst.

[ghettoeddo]

i've got every album except WDADU (and live CD's) and i don't feel complete without it.

i'm sure there's something to like on it right? i didn't really like "only a matter of time" off of budokan.

[ghettoeddo]

i like how the site turns blue once you log in :]

anyway, has anyone heard james labrie's solo CD "elements of persuasion?"
i think it's phenomenal, especially the slower, mellower tracks...

and the guitarrist he uses, marco sfogli? he cites petrucci as one of his influences and that definitely shows :] amazing guy and he's only 24 O_O

[nowitzki]

The thing with SFAM is that to some DT fans, It's their best album, and others...it's their worst.

Are you insane?!? I have never heard a DT fan in my life who has called SFAM their worst album. Most fans rate it as one of, if not the best.
I didn't find it difficult to listen to at all, it was the 2nd DT album I ever listened to after ToT, and I listened to it all the way through and it blew me away. Whereas a lot of their other albums (i.e. Awake) I didn't enjoy until after quite a few listens.

In conclusion, get SFAM now!

i've got every album except WDADU (and live CD's) and i don't feel complete without it.

It does have some great songs, Charlies voice can be a little annoying however.
The live versions of the songs with James are much better, (there's a couple on Live at the Marquee).
You don't like Only a Matter of Time? I think it's a really good song.

[Lord Abortion]

SFAM is my thrid favourite DT album, behind I&W And ToT, but just ahead of octavarium.

[the2stranger]

IMO

I&W>SFAM

so I recommend you getting that first.
SFAM is great stuff though, but it can't top I&W imo

Yeah...but with all of what you guys said earlier...I'll get SFAM.

I'm not in a hurry though.

[scenesfromatheater]

Who wants to hear my rankings of the albums??? What?...all of you? OK then:naughty: .

I&W
SFAM
TOT
6DOIT
8V
Awake
FII
WDADU

Twas hard to not put any = or /'s in there...:upset: .

[Lord Abortion]

If you swap 8vm and 6DOIT round, that's mine, too... and ToT and SFAM, as I said earlier.

[scenesfromatheater]

Lord Abortion's rankings...

I&W

SFAM
8V
6DOIT
Awake

WDADU

I am so cool:cool:

[temporary]

There is very little I have ever heard that tops I&W...

I could say a couple of maiden albums, but nothing else...

I&W is perfect, seriously. Theres not a single track which I think they could do without. The musicianship is miles above the bar. A few albums do top it though.

My list goes something like this:

I&W
SFAM
ACOS
TOT
Awake
6DOIT
8vm
FII (Haven't heard all of this, but barring Lines in the Sand, its all bad)
WDADU (Once more, haven't heard this all, but its all bad. Live versions with James are very tastfull, though)

[eighty d]

FII (Haven't heard all of this, but barring Lines in the Sand, its all bad)

i don't think it's as bad of an album as everyone says it is. lines in the sand, as you said, is a very good song, so is peruvian skies, and trial of tears is on of my favorite dream theater songs.

songs like just let me breathe and burning my soul really are terrible though. never EVER write songs about dissatisfaction with your record label.

my list would go:
6DOIT (seriously underrated)
Awake
I&W
SFAM
8V
TOT
FII
WDADU

[Lord Abortion]

never EVER write songs about dissatisfaction with your record label.
Hey, the Smiths managed it brilliantly with Frankly, Mr Shankly

[eighty d]

since i haven't heard that song, i'll narrow my statement down to just saying that mike portnoy should not write about his record label troubles. his effort came out somewhat less than brilliant.

[ghettoeddo]

to me, on I&W, pull me under sounds a tad out of place, but it's a great song nonetheless. it just doesn't seem to "fit" with the rest of the album.

im definitely saying:
SFAM
I&W
ToT
6DOIT (goodnight kiss outro solo anyone?)
8VM
Awake
FII

cant say anything abt WDADU yet...

[Darkness]

I never really liked Pull Me Under that much... just don't see the magic. :upset:

[.:Thrasher:.]

can somone tell me there greatest song please

[The_Riddler]

can somone tell me there greatest song please

Octavarium is my favorite song of theirs...

Anyway, I have been listening to Awake more and I now am obsessed with the second half of the cd. My favorite song is probably the last song on there "Space-Dye Vest". The piano is just so great hearing, I love piano mixed into rock songs, to me it just gives it more atmosphere. Obviously I can say the same for keyboards, but I hope you guys understand my point.

[nowitzki]

With a band as varied as DT it's hard to pick one song that shows everything that they are capable of. I agree with Octavarium, then probably Metropolis Pt. 1 and A Change Of Seasons as well.

[Metal_head45]

Metropolis pt 1 and the glass prison (13 minutes of pure magic imo).

[Lord Abortion]

I like surrounded and space dye vest best...

The live version of the former is magnificent.

I like pull me under alot, the chorus is great and it's good for getting people into DT, because it's not too proggy and more of a song for people who aren't diehard DT fans...

[the2stranger]

I would love to hear Space Dye Vest life :(

that would be the best thing to happen to DT in a long while imo.

[nowitzki]

I wouldn't.

The Moore era was amazing, but DT have evolved now, and this is the perfect lineup. With Rudess in the band DT have recorded some of their best albums, and he bought them a new lease of life after the dissapointing Sherinian era. Sure I'd love to see KM maybe appear with DT for a one off live performance, but I'm more than happy with Rudess in the band.

Have any of you KM fans checked out any Chroma Key? Its rather good.

[the2stranger]

haven't checked Chroma Key, but I have checked OSi, and it's awesome stuff :)

The intro is really ...Jazzy?

is that the right word?

I need to get into Awake more.

The vocals on Innocence Faded are just incredible, that's the song that made me love the album. Also, Lifting Shadaws... has some awsome vocals in it as well, as well as some killer riffs. Awake and I&W = James Labrie at his best.

[scenesfromatheater]

6:00 is the only song I don't like off of Awake.

Same here. I don't like PMU 'cause I don't think it starts off the album very well 'cause it's not really like any of the other songs. That's why I don't like 6:00 either, not a very good album opener.

Innocence Faded at 2:22 woooooowww.

[Lord Abortion]

I love his vocals on Misunderstood from 6DOIT, that takes some beating, it's actually quite close to the 8VM ballads in style.

[Triangle]

Nice one:thumb: .

From what I can see of the first half of the gig, it's the same set list as Wolverhampton up to Fatal Tragedy. They played Home for SFAM and then played the Glass Prison for 6DOIT after the interval.

EDIT: wow, listening to that opening track, I can remember the rush I got from that before they came on. The intro to TROAE wasa sending tingles down my spine.

kicking rudess out wouldn't bring moore back. he wouldn't even play with them when they invited him to do a couple songs (i think it was the metropolis 2000 show that they invited him to). it's a shame too, i would've loved to hear a double keyboard version of learning to live and hear space-dye vest live at all.
