Worst band on earth? (metal, punk, rock, Blink 182, quote)

Also, i have heard a lot of metal bands who have sounded like Dream Theater before them...I have heard most of their albums, some of their 90s material was decent, but Octavarium and Train Of Thought were downright crap IMO.

DT are in many ways, Rush with a fulltime keyboardist and a worse singer and noticably worse lyrics (imagine that).

Schism, Stinkfist and Sober are the only tracks that get any hint of air over here and even then it's once in a blue moon. Mars Volta is even worse off. I'd hardly call them mainstream.

Well, that's because their (Tool) albums are really old. I was talking about when they first came out. The songs you mentioned received so much unwarranted attention, especially "Sober." I think that particular track has the record for the highest amount of shared files of any sort of file on the internet. And Volta are slowly but surely climbing the mainstream ladder. But that's besides the point, the point is that the teeny-boppers listening to them annoys me the **** outta me...But it's a causation thing.

I suppose I feel they same way about rap and wannabe G-Units. But I find it silly to hate a band based on who likes them. Especially when they're a good band in the first place. If the teeny boppers got into DT would you part your ways with that band too?

Of course not, 'cause DT are good, but I'd be pissed off if they just saw it as just a fad and didn't appreciate the music. Which would most likely be the case but I'd still like DT. Like I said I also hate Tool's and Volta's music as well.

And add the fact that Rush had such talent in all instruments....Neil Peart one of the best drummers ever in technical skill....geddy lee can shred on the bass like none other while singing....and alex is a very under-rated guitarist....everything about *** theater is over-rated...minus maybe the fact that petrucci is a very talented guitarist

But then you have Petrucci, who's hailed as one of the greatest modern guitarists. Then you have the drum god Portnoy whom everyone worships not just because of his drumming but because of his adept song writing and lyrics. Then you have one of the most underrated bassists ever, Myung. All you have to do is watch the L@B DVD and watch the Dance of Eternity section towards the end of "Instrumedly." That'd make any proficient bass player want to burn their instrument in a ten hour ritual. And last but not least, Mr. LaBrie. Some don't like his tonal colour but you can't argue with the fact that his expressiveness and his range is just phenomenal. Probably my favourite singer ever.

And I don't even think Rush are overrated because I don't even rate them at all. It's laughable comparing their talent to DT's.

Exactly.....Rush pwns the fuc.k out of DT...rush are more talented musically than DT could ever even dream to be

sleepy jack · 03-04-2006, 11:05 PM

Everyone, quit arguing with Don. Hes worships everything each one of them does, and spends all his time kissing his petrucci poster. Theres no point in arguing, hes just going to keep telling us their deep, insightful and amazing and talented etc..So yeah, theres no point in it.
