SHit yeah. Those guys are fucking talented. I started out with Images and Words and was hooked then and there. John Petrucci is great. So is Mike Portnoy on drums. Their albums are excellent. For favorites, I would go with Images and Words, Awake, and Train of Thought.

I borrowd the Live at Budokhan DVD from a mate and was completely amazed at not only how talented they are, but the whole mix of metal and prog. Shit hot, and every member in that band is a god at what they do.

Drummer had 3 bass drums!

I've recently got Images and Words and I love every single song on it. Every single member in Dream Theater are definitely gods at what they do.

Finally a good music thread besides all the Roth / CVH threads!!!

Dream Theater is THE shit today. One of the FEW shining examples that shows someone, somewhere still writes great music. If you do not have the Live At Budokan DVD, run...don't walk...to get it.

BTW (NG, you listening?), Mike Portnoy is the best drummer out there right now! Bar none! He has a killer DVD out from the Budokan tour.

Yeah, don't they hang out with musicians?

Some people like a smart-ass!

I'll be sure to check him out though, 'cause I trust you know what you're talking about.

I heard their tribute to Led Zep' 4 or 5 years ago. Great stuff.

Then I saw them play their own stuff on stage in 2002 in Lyon. How bored I got... A really disappointing gig. I think they'll only please guitar players.

**Black Betty** · 01-31-2005, 04:44 AM

John Petrucci.

Well, John Petrucci is a guitarist's guitarist and Dream Theater's prog rock won't please everyone, I guess.
