That would be interesting to see. DT and Metallica are pretty diferent bands.

Well, Dream Theater say on their site, I believe, that Metallica was one of their major influences.
If not the band as a whole, I'm sure Portnoy and Petrucci both say it.

Fare enough. Strange as it might seem, i would like to see it. I'm sure the could do a sweet take on Orion.

[QUOTE=Med57]OK...really newbie Dream Theater question coming right up, but I've got A Change Of Seasons, The Glass Prison, a live version of Beyond This Life, Voices, Caught In A Web and Erotomania on my computer, and I like all of them, and absolutely love the first two. Basically, which album would you guys recommend for me to buy, as I've been listening to them more and more recently. If this question's asked loads in here, then apologies.[/QUOTE]
Awake would a good place to start, or 6 degrees of inner turbulence (its cost more $ since its 2cd). BTW, you started with great songs :thumb:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New date for the world tour:
June 13th - Posthof - Linz, Austria
"An Evening With Dream Theater"

Oh man, you are correct.
I have an mp3 of them covering the whole album, and two videos, master of Puppets and Sanitarium, can't find a video for Orion, yet. But I am looking!

Best Band Ever...

CHECK OUT MY USERNAME!!
HOLLER!

Caught in a Web, Voices, and Erotomania are all on "Awake", plus the stellar songs The Mirror/Lie, Scarred, etc.

Get "Awake" then "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence", and if you like those two, "Train of Thought" after that.

Agreed, good advice.

Whats this I hear about a new DT album? When is it coming out?

They just finished recording it...

I thought I read about a release in May...

May or June. Anybody know a title yet?

oooh, I'nm so exited!!!

although the tracklist sames rather, un-DT like,
as long as the music is awesome, can't wait

[QUOTE=Med57]Thanks very much man. :) I appreciate the recommendations. I wonder if they'll be playing festivals in the UK this summer, as European festivals are mentioned on their website, which they'll be playing this summer.[/QUOTE]
hopefully they'll play some headline shows later on in the year - it is a world tour. so let's just hope they don't ignore us :)

Awesome! 2 days before my birthday! :thumb:


Anyone else gonna try to see them for their North American Tour? Man...I am going to see them, no matter how far I have to drive! :)

I'll go see them for the North American Tour. If they come to St. Louis, I'll be there.

Edit: Definitely can't wait for the new album either. I looked and didn't see anything of the type, so I have to ask: Does anyone know yet what this album will sound like?

I missed out on Metallica when I liked them more, I cannot miss this though.

I totally didnt gell with TOT. i thought the production of it was horrible...TOO LOUD ALL THE TIME. No dynamics. I think TOT was their attempt to get more of the traditional metal head into the audience. It worked too...when I went to see them on the TOT tour it was like OK all the really young 3 chord playing headbangers are here and it made for an annoying night. All the previous shows I went to the audience was full of musicians who stood and watched them play. I dont need to be pushed around by moshers or hit in the face with someones hair. I wont go see them if their next album is like TOT.

I agree with you about ToT, but part of the fun of going to a concert is to get into the music. The album was substandard but it had its good headbanging moments, and if you're near a "mosh pit" just move away. And don't diss the headbangers by assuming they can only play three chords. Good thing they're listening to bands as good as Dream Theater, so that they can learn to play something else, right? Come on, guy. Don't be such a purist. Dream Theater aren't exactly selling out on us (not like they could since LaBrie is still the singer).

This is awesome, June 7th isnt that far away, what a great name :thumb:

Awesome! And a tour over the summer!

I was going to buy a DT DVD today, but I can't decide which one....and also Is it worth buying...I caught their show In bulgaria a few years back ( by accident, I was visiting grandparents while they came) and I loved it. Some people tell me the DVDs are kinda bland and that they don't put on much of a show some say the opposite.

So which DVD do you suggest and is it even worth getting?

Okay, this tour over the summer that's supposed to be a package, I've heard its very likely Megadeth will be on it. Sweet.

I like them all. If you like a more documentary feel to your DVD, go with the Images and Words/5 Years to a lifetime. If you want great live shows, go with the Scenes from NY or Live at Budokan. I prefer Budokan because I liked the songs off of ToT they had on there, but Scenes was just as good. Its a win/win, IMO. Pick one up and you'll be happy regardless.

I dont like the newer DT Material, like TOT, The Last good cd by DT was 6DOIT but that was only OK, SFAM was a bit gay.Concept Albums and DT go together like bread and paper, not at all. My all time fav is IAW, I havn't heard the first one WDADU, is it any good?
