ibanezplayer Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 What do all you guys think about Dream Theater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorbreath Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 One of my favorite bands - technically ) I've been listening to them since "Images and Words" and always found their work inspiring from an instrumentalist point of view. But I can't listen to it 2-3 hours long, I find it exhausting lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I like them, going to see them again next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigM555 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 One of my favorite bands for sure! Seen them live several times. Their just as technically astounding live. Would really love to see the rumors of another LTE project materialize too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibanez_crazy Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 One word...Amazing. The first attempt at building a guitar was a JPM inspired ibanez, and its still in my arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I am now temporarily deaf thanks to Dream Theater. Rockin' concert out in Dallas tonight! Redemption and Into Eternity kicked ass too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Most excellent. My wife and I are going to see 'em in about 2-3 weeks I think. She likes 'em even more than I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 One of my all time Favorites, however the singer can be tough to take sometimes. A little too dramatic for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masina Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Dream Theater are the best. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fookgub Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I am now temporarily deaf thanks to Dream Theater. Rockin' concert out in Dallas tonight! Redemption and Into Eternity kicked ass too. Earplugs, man! I bring 'em to every show, and get pissed at myself if I forget them. No need to go deaf just to have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 however the singer can be tough to take sometimes. A little too dramatic for me +1 Great band, I can't say I've been blown away by the last 2 albums (Systematic Chaos is slowly growing on me), although Train of Thought takes a lot of beating for me personally.

Earplugs, man! I bring 'em to every show, and get pissed at myself if I forget them. No need to go deaf just to have fun! Yeah, and I'm always the guy in the pit or near it. I'll write that down now since I'm about to head out to a Symphony X concert at Ridglea. Man, I spend like $500 a year in concerts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fookgub Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Man, I spend like $500 a year in concerts! All the more reason to wear earplugs. Hearing damage accrues over time, and you can't get it back once you lose it. I took a class on (among other things) industrial noise exposure, and the statistics are really quite startling! Anyway, I really like the 'Hearos' earplugs that guitar center sells. They are pretty comfortable, and they don't totally destroy the tonality of the music, unlike the cheap wax or foam earplugs. My guitar player swears by them, too. Oh yeah, Dream Theater is cool, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Symphony X dominated my face, they own. Another great night! It's great to see big bands in small venues. I still can't get over how awesome Redemption is, I've been in contact with their bassist since that night, he's a great player and a very cool guy!

Jon Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hah, and the guy used to work for Nordstrand as well and knows many of my bass buddies. Small world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodBlessTexas Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 One of my all time Favorites, however the singer can be tough to take sometimes. A little too dramatic for me I think they're OK, but as you point out, I can't stand the singer. I do love Petrucci's work, especially his solo stuff.

komodo Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Wow, who knew that Drak was a DT fan? I have seen them since Images and Words and in the last few years have grown tired of them. Probably from my overplaying of them and the recent stuff doesn't seem as good to me (isn't that always the case though?). Still a fan though and still crank it on occasion. There are tons of other prog metal bands out these days (that all took their cues from DT) to listen to if you want to expand or move on. Try Karmakanic, S-X, John Arch, OSI, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
