I'd say they're definitely one of the tightest bands live. However, it's not really the type of high-energy performance I want out of live show.

The only one that didn't really catch was the bass part. Myung has never gon above 6 strings, which is average for prog-metal, and the stick isn't bass. Everything else was great though!

I know it's been said that Dream Theater will never play Progpower because they are too big, but I hope Glenn booked them anyway now just to piss you off.

5 and 6 string basses have always been a pet peeve of mine. Myung is a great bass player, no doubt. But can you tell me that the music is better because of two additional bass strings? It just seems arrogant.

I'm usually drinking when the headliners are on. Dream Theater headlining (not that it would ever happen) wouldn't effect my ProgPower routine in the slightest.

hehe, good shit Zod. While i'll admit I absolutely love 3 of DT's cd's, and 1 song off of 6Doit, the rest of it does nothing for me. I've seen DT probably a dozen times and that's enough for me. One of 2 bands i've actually fallen asleep during a show (Saxon was the other in the 80's).

Uh, yeah. See, I don't bother defining the worth of the bands I love based on what people on the frickin' internet think or say. You should try it, you'll soil less underwear that way.

x the number of boring scales Petrucci wanks away with at any given time.

 

[Dustro25]

I love DT cant imagine life without them. They will never be at progpower...why even mention it...

thanx for the tip.. ill file that away in the useless info file

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

So you're saying you'd RATHER base the worth of your favorite bands on what people on the internet say?

Now that's just plain weird.

Well, so far, most of the people who responded to this thread seem to think it's funny (including the Dream Theater fans). But regardless of whether it is or isn't funny, isn't really the point. It was intended as a joke.

next time i mock the shit out of a band you love, i guess i get a pass huh??

Of course you get a free pass. And not just the "next time". You get a free pass everytime you want to "mock" my favorite band. So does every single person on the internet. Because, why would I possibly care if someone I've never met "mocks" my favorite band?

By the way, my favorite band is Nevermore. Feel free to mock them till your heart is content.

[MadeInNewJersey]

Zod, Nevermore is uh, gay, or something. And Loomis likes moldy underwear.

Aw man, I hate to see threads like this.. it's always ugly on both sides.

Personally I love Dream Theater and consider them one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Of course, I'm not always looking for a fast-paced show. As far as "high energy" I suppose that depends on who you ask. While I may have a ton of fun at a DT show, the dude sitting next to me might be bored out his mind. C'est le vie!

For what it's worth, I love seeing Dream Theater live, and I do like seeing someone play a 738-piece drum kit.
