Dream Theater fans, Identify yourselves
I'm a die-hard Dream Theater fan, one of the best bands ever IMO. My friend got me into them a year ago, and now it's all I listen to beside classical music (since I'm a classical musician). I like everything about them, their technical mastery, music, and the lyrics. To me, Dream Theater members are more than just musicians, they are also poets ahd philosophers, all of their lyrics were carefully crafted to perfection.
So far, I have listened to Images And Words, Scenes From A Memory (my favorite), Six Drgrees of Inner Turbulence and Octavarium. Soon I'm going to order their Metropolis 2000 and Score DVD, should be a lot of fun. So, just wondering if anyone else here likes Dream Theater? Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks Helloween, for the advise, how is it now?
There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yep, the 20th Anniversary DVD is called Score, I'm gonna get it too. The friend who got me into Dream Theater (also a die-hard fan) was there at the concert, he got front row seat too lol.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah Moore was a good lyrics writter, as apparent in Images And Words, but Jordan Rudess is a much better keyboardist, I guess it's a trade off.
The Score DVD is under $30 on Amazon, it's around $22 if I remembered correctly. Double Post: Wow just check Amazon again, price for Score is $17.49 when it comes out. W00t. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

One thing that puzzle me is that why people complain their solos lack emotion. Who said solos have to be emotional to begin with?
It's the exact same thing as cadenzas in classical music, it's meant to be a show off of the performers technical abilities. I was speaking idiomatically.

I don't know, but I have never found that Dream Theater lacked emotions for me personally.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Good point Starslight. Also listen to "The Spirit Carries On" and tell me there's no emotion in that. That song made me cry countless times.
FELIPE NO

Well Dalkaen can you elaborate on that? Like how are DT's compositions weak? I think they are brilliantly put together.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
