Dream Theater in the studio

[Horus]

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.

Dream Theater has.....

- Released 8 albums (excluding A Change of Seasons)
- Released 5 Live Albums
- Filmed 2 Live shows in Tokyo
- Filmed a sold out concert in New York City, at which the played with an orchestra, and they had people coming from everywhere from Argentina to Russia to see them.
- Toured Japan many many times
- Toured North America many many times
- Toured Eeurope many many times
- Co-Headlined the first Gigantour
- Have musicians that have endorsers begging them to represent their companies
- Given people like me a reason to at people like you

BYAAAAHHH!!!

Just tell me where in the song, like at what time?

lol, I'm just fucking around. I'm sure there's a part or two that you can compare, but I have no idea. I'm just running with Ptah's joke that I found quite amusing, hence the :Spin:

I still can't understand why I haven't purchased Christ.0 yet.

Vanden Plas is an awful, horrible, terrible band

 

[Horus]

No, not really, I think they're pretty fuckin' awesome.

 

[Matt]

I hate them. My opinion of course

 

[NegativeVolume]

How do you like DT and hate VP? They're basically the same band.

 

[Matt]

nah

The drummer and singer really piss me off with their lack of talent.

But I've only heard "The God Thing" so maybe they've improved?

EXCEPT VANDEN PLAS CAME SECOND, MEANING THEY WERE HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY DREAM THEATER

BYAAAH!!!!

I kinda like VP's singer better than JLB really, his voice is easier to listen to and fits the music quite well. Their drummer fits the bill quite well, b/c their music in inherently a few notches under DT's technicality, so it's a bit more groovier so to speak. Either way I'd say listen to more because they have some amazing songs plain and simple. Far off Grace and Beyond Daylight are my favorites by them, check out those albums. Christ.0 is also very splooge worthy

Lack of talent? That's kinda harsh, don't you think? Just because they aren't as technical as DT doesn't make them any less talented.

Oohhh, the talent and technicality argument again!

I think there's more talent in having less ability and being able to improvise with amazing songwriting.

That is the kind of music that lasts.

 

[Horus]

Okay, then that explains how classic compositions from teh 1700's lasted for centuries. I'm definitely sure that Mozart just kinda wrote down random notes and symbols in random places on random pieces of paper.

PWNED IN DA FACE!!!

Yeah, whatever. Your opinion stopped mattering to me.

Carry on.

This thread is actually starting to get very annoying and hostile, it should be closed ASAP.

 

[Matt]

I've noticed that the forum has been hostile lately, depsite my making idiot posts

 

[MetalstormV3.0b]

I agree... POOPOO HEAD!

No, that would be a Pain of Salvation cd writing session.....

What is with every DT thread getting hostile? There is NO band that can do NO wrong. Let's chill on the hostilities please.......

[sknight]

What is it?

DT fans can't have a discussion that detaches their emotions and their being from the band. Intelligent discussion with a DT fan simply turns into mudslinging and personal attacks, instead of discussion.

lmao, but the genius of it is that it somehow still sounds amazing
