Dream Theater in the studio

The more we talk about it, the more we realize that the horse has been dead since Awake came out.

to be fair let's say SFAM. but i sure hope #9 reverses the trend they started with Train of Thought.

 

[Horus]

What, you mean the being heavy thing?

 

[Kenneth R.]

no, the being derivative of themselves thing.

 

[sknight]

give it up man. The only person on that list who's influence can be compared to DT is Yngwie. Regardless, the more you speak on this subject, the dumber you look. No need to beat a dead horse.

Quite interesting, as a significant bit of irony exists in your statement.

DT are a HEAVILY influential band, no matter what anyone says.

Agreed, their sound and style are so unique, no other band in the world sounds and performs the way they do.

um... actually a bazillion bands do. hence the "influential" comment. they were something fresh back in the day, and that sparked a bunch of copycats.

What a total contradiction, especially when they self-admittedly went to evoke sounds of their influences!

Does Glass Prison really sound THAT much like YYZ?

How many fucking times do we need to say this??? Just because they sound like their influences doesn't mean they can't be influential themselves!! They're the most influencial prog-metal band out there, probably the most successful too.

Now STFU and GTFO.

Queensryche has outsold Dream Theater.

What is success based on? I could wager that possibly Alchemist has sold many albums solely in Australia before embarking on a worldwide distribution deal. They also run a metal festival that has run across Australia for many years.

Yet you don't know about them.

Not just yet you don't.

I don't like Alchemist, they aren't really my style. Re-read your posts dude, you're saying DT aren't influential. If they aren't influential then why the fuck are we discussing them in a forum that isn't even theirs?
