Dream Theater didn't invent shit. If anything, they are derivative and are what makes Progmetal a joke in the minds of most people.

Derivative of what? Yes, everyone has influences, but who was doing their type of progmetal before Images & Words?
I am a Dream Theater fan and I am neither a pasty white computer geek or a 40 year old man. In fact, most of the fans I've met are other guys in their early to late 20s who listen to everything from black metal to classic rock. I don't get it - whenever someone plays a classical song or writes a symphony that's fast and has a touch of "showing off", it's considered brilliant and genius, but when DT come out playing fast stuff and "showing off" it's wankery? Fucking hypocrites.

Classical never shows off, DT bases their career at it. They don't pay tribute to their influences, they blatantly rip them off. I don't give a shit on whether DT fans are fat or whatever, or even what they listen to beside DT. And progmetal existed before Images And Words and wasn't any less original than any DT album.

And you realized that they are simply showing off. Your relation with D.T. music is poor.Frostangelstorm said:
Point where they rip off ideas of their influences in their albums until "Six Degrees" (= vast majority of their discography)Frostangelstorm said:
Are you blind? All acknowledge that there were bands playing progressive metal before D.T., but noone played like D.T. or did what they did. And they did something AMAZING, like it or not.Frostangelstorm said:
Btw im curious on who you think played progressive metal before D.T.

Does it seem like it to anyone else that DT fans only listen to DT. Im not to sure because i only have 2 friends that will listen to them and both of them listen to nothing else. Their cd's in their cosist of dt and only dt...i think one of them has a stradivarius cd also..which is complete shit.
First of al I've never even mentioned remembering never so thats bullshit. Maybe you should decide whether or not you like In Flames before you argue for or against or whatever it is you're trying to do for them. BTBAM are twice as heavy and technical as Slipknot (ok maybe three or four times) or DT. And I was using those bands to try to divert this guys musical interest like you asked so maybe use your brain a little before you try and criticize me. so until you get your shit together, fuck off.InsaneGrosvenor said:
Goddamn knot fans.
Indeed. I used to listen to theater until i realized that there were bands that knew how to play real progressive music (Opeth, Subterranean Masquerade,Narg n Lamb said:AMEN,

Bi-weekly top album:
Look at my sig, I enjoy DT very much.
At this point I have their 8 albums, a demo and single cd, the EP, 2 live albums, 5 fanclub cds, and the Live At Budokan dvd.
That's all I have to say.
Lots of people are ignorant when it comes to DT.

They were my favorite band 8 years ago. Bands like that didn't really exist throughout the 90's, and they were hugely important for the development of prog in heavier music. I haven't really liked them much since SFAM, but most of their albums in the 90's i still think are exceptional. I like them for their songwriting. Wankery, maybe. But at least it's interesting wankery. I guess it's probably different for some of the younger people around who don't know what it's like not to have all these new bands to chose from.
