And showing off your technical skill is by no means a bad thing either, if you have it, then by all means use it.
No no, people dont hate Dream Theater for these reasons, they hate them because they just plain suck.  |
WTF? All music isn't pretentious. Some bands really 'feel' their music. You can sense it in their songs.
And yes, showing off isn't bad, but the band members of Dream Theater do tend to put technical playing ahead of actual song 'likeability factor' (as I call it) at times. But its not often, as the haters think. They don't suck, they are a talented band who have released several great albums.
The only flaw is, you can get bored of them soon.
