YOU came here and tarting a thread about Dream Theater here at Symphony X forum. (not personally you , but i did not tell THAT personally to you Kyra). I just didn't like it.
What? This thread was not started about Dream Theater, it was started to display the results of a metal poll. Dream Theater was not brought up by me or other "obsessed" DT fans, they were brought up by people making disparaging comments about James LaBrie's singing and saying that the only reason he was 3rd was because he is from Dream Theater. You can't blame the DT fans for that. I responded to it because I disagreed - James is one of my favorite singers and I know plenty of people who truly like his voice, and I had to chime in with my feelings about that. I would have done the same thing had people been making fun of any other band I really like. I was simply defending a band that is near and dear to me, and did so in a respectful way - not putting down SX or even comparing the two bands in the process. The thread is not about Dream Theater, but the point I was trying to make is that there are a lot of fans of both bands, so why do the DT-haters have to constantly bring up Dream Theater in a negative way? You said you didn't want to be rude, but Dream Theater is shit. That IS rude! This is not about liking DT - I'm not trying to convince anyone that James has a beautiful voice or that DT is a great band...I'd just prefer a little less DT-bashing.
And if people DO bring up DT, who cares? Why shouldn't they talk about DT on a Symphony X forum? They are both progmetal bands. People bring up Pain of Salvation, Time Requiem, and any number of other bands on here, and there's nothing wrong with that. If someone doesn't like one of the bands brought up, they can certainly say it in a nice way.
I don't hate Dream Theater. I just can't stand comparing them to Gods. They definitely are not. They are excelent musicians and moderate composers with a bad taste in music. It's not my fault that they bore me.
No, it's not your fault at all. I'm NOT telling you that you have to like them!! But no one was comparing them to gods in this thread. Some people think they are great composers with great taste in music, like me. Some people think they have bad taste, like you. Neither one of us is right.
I like their 2,3 albums a lot. I like a bit A Change of Seasons.
I do not like "Falling Into Infinity", and I think you do not like it to , do not be hypocritical. ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I like a bit Scenes From A Memory, but I think there too much "snivel with sugar".
And I don't understand for that moment their last album, not saying whether it is good or bad.
Why would you think I don't like Falling into Infinity? Do you know enough about my other musical tastes? I absolutely love New Millenium, Peruvian Skies, Burning My Soul, Hell's Kitchen, Lines in the Sand, Take Away My Pain, and Trial of Tears. I like Hollow Years quite a lot. In fact I don't skip any of the songs on the album when I listen to it, which is relatively often. Scenes from a Memory is my favorite album from any band, and the new album got my vote for 2nd best album of the year. If you don't like them, or only like parts of them, that's ok with me. I'm not trying to convert you or anyone else.
I don't think DT is shit, I was just pissed off . Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you .
Proposing a PEACE
OK?
Well, it's worth a try at least! Apology accepted!
