The Dream Theater guys did not graduate from Berklee, they dropped out.
I "get" Dream Theater and why people like them, because I used to worship them, but now I don't.
I don't hate Pain of Salvation, but I certainly don't understand the massive hype behind them. Most other bands I understand the hype, because either they are good bands or they have stupid fans, the latter being the more likely case.

Dream Theatre: These guys do nothing for me so I decided to spell their name wrong cause it's funny to watch people get so pissed off over it.
Maiden and Priest: Can't stand the vocals. I hate pretty much all vox similar to these two bands including almost 100% of all power metal bands. The vocals just annoy the hell out of me.

I can't get past daves vocals. Rust In Peace and Countdown would be cool with an actual good vocalist. His vocals are so terrible nor go with/ fit with the music. It's very akward to me.

I'm not pissed over it. I just wanted to make sure everyone knows that they are pissed over it. They piss on you. And they piss on everyone who says they suck. They zip down their fly and just let it go ALL over you.Jon Snow said:
Um... you probably have barely even heard one song by Dream Theater so YOU are wrong unless you have proof of why you are not.CAIRATH said:
WILL PEOPLE STFU ABOUT DREAM THEATER ALREADY?!?
I listened to Dream Theatre again last night. It was horrible. I'd rather listen to Ashlee Simpson.

My mind can process so much data that I can understand the purpose behind any piece of music and make it relevant.
You can learn from everything.

Calm down dude. Love, not hate, is the dance of eternity.
In my opinion Megadeth own Metallica all day and night... even with those atrocious Mustaine vocals. They truly are shit vocals. But hey, one Megadeth song has more cooler melodic ideas than an entire Metallica album...
except ride the lighting.
I agree with a bunch of the bands listed, you guys covered a lot of the shit...
Katatonia does in fact bore the helll out of me... I own Viva Emptiness and thats all I heard. But I hear that VE is their best album. If thats the best they can produce
I too did not get Tool for the longest time. The are fuckin sick though.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - I can't understand how such talented musicians make the same shit song over and over again.
Cryptopsy - you wanna talk bad vocals. I can't believe this Lord Worm guy gets any work at all.
Nirvana just plain blows, through and through. Arguably the worst band ever IMO. Nirvana is a fad and scene thing just like Poison, and Kurt Cobain just sucks at everything. Playing, writing, singing... no wonder he killed himself.
however, the all time most overrated band ever is
U2
I do own their albums. and have heard them all...obviously they have some great songs, but they have so much filler and mediocre garbage that I can not believe how they became the most successful band in the world. Once again, tremendous musicians chosing to make music that is boring as fuck.
oh, and I plain just dont like Bono...

Pink Floyd - I can see some people enjoying the very spaciness to their music, but I cant stand it when im high. I get horribly uncomfortable and just hate how depressing this stuff is. I like to be happy when im on drugs of all kinds, I never want to be depressed like this stuff makes you.
Faith No More - I mean, ill listen to it and whatnot, its not bad music, but it is way overhyped. Patton is really not the god that people say he is. He is one insane motherfucker with a crazy immagination, but he has not applied it to my likings yet.
Katatonia - I like Viva Emptiness, but the older stuff SUCKS. Maybe its cause I hate depressing music. This is why Opeth gets monotonous to me after a while. I hate when they go all depression-like on me.
Nine Inch Nails - Its alright, but whats so creative about it? Horribly basic, something even I could create and im not a musician. I would be more interesting than this. I really dont get it, but RVP of the DTB respects them, and he is a very respectable guy himself. I just dont know why he does, I dont get NIN one bit.
Radiohead - I just dont like it. Too wierd and different, too "teenage" to me.
The Mars Volta - Same as Radiohead, its just fucking queer.
Tool - I like Lateralus, but I dont see it as a genious creation at all. These guys are most of the time boring, I am another person on here who does not undertand them at all.
Burzum - Fucking garbage. Punk recorded in my basement with a screeching bird for a singer. I gave it a chance, I wanted to like this shit. Its just garbage, and so is the majority of black metal. Its one big joke, and so many people just fall for it. The joke behind black metal is that it is all crap, and they just see how many people they can trick into liking it.
Nirvana - Everything about Nirvana sucks ass. I hate Kurt Cobain in every possible way, I hate the music he wrote. Everybody rants and raves about Grohl, but he showed no talent in Nirvana whatsoever.
Its not that I dont like grunge, as I LOVE Alice In Chains, I actually listened to Facelift today. Fucking excellent stuff, rock at one of its best forms.
Judas Priest - I hate how they are always compared with Iron Maiden. I love Maiden, but Priest just dont do it for me. Generic sounding metal imo.
Opeth - Please dont assume anything before you read this. I say Opeth because people regard them as rediculously godlike, and all I see is a good band. They write good songs, are really talented, but the godlike status is just not there. A lot of their albums sound really similar. I love Opeth, but something in me says they are overrated by their fans. Mikael doesnt regard himself as a genious, and just plays what sounds good.
Dream Theater - First of all, this is a very similar situation to Opeth. I love listening to DT, but I feel as though their music lacks emotion. Octavarium had some emotion, but the other stuff just doesnt have it. Its just creative music. That is all I like about Dream Theater. Very creative and cool, but is kind of shallow. Petrucci is a machine, and I mean this in all the good ways and the bad ways too. Hes an amazing guitarist, but I dont think he is human. Someone did not teach him how to portray his emotions via guitar, because I dont feel the emotions that I do with other guitarists.

^ I don't understand you. You wish Dream Theater had more emotion, but you don't like Katatonia. I suppose you don't have an affinity for dark music.
I agree with you about black metal except stuff like Blut aus Nord and Vintersorg obviously. Strait BM = not for me.
