John petrucci would disagree.

i dont know man... i think hes just showing a lot of respect for them... i mean i can cover tool songs.... i cant cover any dream theater songs or even come close lol

im speaking from a guitar point of view lol

tools style is so much different then anybodys elses though... i mean the originality of their music is amazing... its not really like anything else

i think hes saying please please me being ahead of those two makes the whole list irrevelent

One of the things I like about tool is that Adam jones isn't self indulgent with his guitar playing. He doesnt go overboard with his playing, he's like the George Harrison of prog-metal. He makes every note count.

I love how they work as one unit. Theyre so melodic. Nobody really stands out above the others, Maynard even sings in the back so the spotlight isn't on him.

yeah i agree i love tool as well lol they have an excellent style... to be honest thats why i hate comparing the two bands... they really couldnt be more different...

there about on Meh level

i see a lot of people **** on dream theater and say that they completely suck ass


Dream Theater Finally Free (Live Scenes From New York) - YouTube

i wanna see somebody watch this clip and tell me that they suck.... this is an amazing performance, especially portnoy at the end... my god.

They suck and yes I have listened to 3 of their albums just to see if I was just being an arsehole for the sake of it but no, they do suck.

bite me

Where? on your audio line out? Gladly!

Each to their own, but seriously Dream Theater fans just cannot grasp the fact that many people just don't like them. I am Pink Floyd fan and a lot of people on here cannot stand them. I couldn't give a crap really and don't worry about it.

Their wankery is the worst of the worst. Dream Theater is godawful and i've seen them live in person. I had to leave and go outside halfway through and smoke a joint to get that bad sound out of my ears. I just don't get the hype. Jordan the keyboardist is a nice guy though he was a cool guy at the NAMM show.

nah its cool if you dont like em i mean w/e obviously everyone has their own opinion, im not one of those guys whos gonna sit here and rant about bands i like and try and force other people to like em, i just dont see how somebody can they say completely suck ... not liking something... and something just completely sucking are two different things.. soulja boy sucks, dream theater doesnt

oh and btw since your a pink floyd fan whats your favorite song on the album animals

im listening to that album right now lol

The Dream Theater Thread
 

Lets talk about Dream Theater, whether you love em or hate em, and why. If you've never heard of them here's what I consider their best work.

I'm totally into Dream Theater. I use to listen to Overture 1928 over and over, was my fav track for awhile.
