But then again, Dream Theater is one of the most popular bands as far as good musicians go these days...I think he could have said the same thing only directed at Tool

And a non boring Progmetal band = Symphony X .

@zakk hate me 666: Except that what's on the site is NOT the whole thing.

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

i actually think that is the whole thing on the site. you remember the whole article on them late last year? i read what it had on the site, then bought the mag and there was nothing new. so im pretty sure thats it.

 

[Lanterns]

That also was not the whole article

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

i didnt waste my money on on it. instead i bought the latest dream evil album.

fuck! I can´t find guitar world somewhere in vienna.

and to dream theatre I know you all will kill me for that statement, but this is the best example for gay-metal!

Actually, first band to be labelled Heavy metal was Hendrix.. Described by a journalist as sounding like "heavy metal falling from the sky"... so by that logic.. hendrix was.. but the first regognised metal band was Priest.

I think that article was written for Led Zeppelin?,

However, Hendrix was the first guy to have discovered distortion. He was opening tiny holes on the cone of the amp so that the vibrations would distort the sound. Metal however was born in the UK

Dream Theater indeed look boring to me live...but they're ancient....
Once when I was really lame me and a bud made up this complex theory of dream theater being ancien mummy-like persons only playing music, doing nothing

~ Synopsis:

They have a pole attached to their back, which is nailed to the floor with heavy bolts so they won't topple over.
And when the show's over, some gaffer has to wheel them out with a mini-forklift. They come provided with their own stage.

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

the only 2 questions they asked him were favorite car and favorite guitar solo maybe one more. i cant think right now. dont waste your money on it.

 

[Lanterns]

His fave car -Firebird I guess?
Fave guitar solo...his own (COB/Sinergy) or by another artist??

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

favorite car was the dodge monaco or something. fav solo was for the love of god (vai) it really isnt worth 5.99 or however much they want for it

 

[Lanterns]

Ok thanx dude

 

[gkelter]

One thing... to the dude who said hendrix discovered distortion. Distortion was actually first used by The Kinks, when one of them kicked in their speaker while playing and thought it sounded cool.
