quite possibly the worst band ever
if not musically then conceptually
Someone in my office was trying to get me to explain why I hate Macklemore the other day
He said 'go on then, let's hear you rap' (?!) so I pointed out that technical ability isn't everything, otherwise Dream Theater would be the best band in the world. He looked completely perplexed, whilst someone else got hilariously offended that I'd slagged off Dream Theater.
other way around
singer pretends he's dave mustaine also
my cousin LOVES them
so many notes
such few songs
i saw them live once
and realised something was seriously wrong when there were three people sat comfortably at one drum kit
even in my darkest prog nerd hour
i've never come close to enjoying them, and i just can't imagine who would
Awful
For people who find that Rush just aren't noodly enough.
This is the band that I find in the Dream Syndicate section
Of second-hand record stores. Bastards.
no
utter dogshit
can't wait to not go see them at Sonisphere.
I used to be a big Dream Theater fan in my early teens
Still enjoy them occasionally in a nostalgic kind of way. It's embarrassing but we all have guilty pleasures right?
i am not the proggiest diser
*bended knee*
loui you fraud!
you don't even like ELP
I HATE ELP
...and Yes, and Genesis, and lots of other prog bands. Let's share the title.
no way I'm even close to the proggiest DiSer
but yeah, it seems there's at least one apologist for every godawful prog band on DiS
I had to film these clowns once at Download
the director was in my headset being all "now this is PROPER music!".
It went on for fucking ages. The singer kept shuffling off stage during the interminable solos, leaving me to train the main camera on the fucking drummer. THE DRUMMER. Abysmal. Comfortably the worst band I endured that weekend.
HIS band man
there a funny youtube vid where the singer fucks up slightly, and the drummer scolds him onstage for not getting the 28/12 time signature correct.
Eurgh
Brilliant
I wondered why he had three drum kits on stage. For a festival slot. Madness.
I just found this when I was looking for the footage I shot
this was two years after I saw them. Can you think of a band less deserving of a tit flash (0:35)?

How many bass strings does that guy need? And my word, that singer is so poor. No wonder the drummer lashed out.
Also, I watched as much as I could stand (about 2 mins) then skipped ahead to 30 mins in to see how the crowd were holding up. Not well.
I CANNOT WITHSTAND WIDDLING OF THIS MAGNITUDE!!
2:10 to 2:20 tho
someone should sample that
watching a bit about 20 mins in - it's an endurance test
fucking hell
at 42 mins in - EXHAUSTING
fucking hell.
this sounds a lot like Faith No More
not as good, but pretty similar sound
listening to them now
not nearly as ridiculous as i hoped - just a bit dull really. these solos need to be about 4 times as long.
singer is awful
"these solos need to be about 4 times as long"
You think Dream Theater should have MORE solo-ing? Bloody hell, never thought I'd hear that one!
do the rest of the band use so many of the notes there's only one left for the singer
One of the worst things I ever spent money on
was a Dream Theater Live DVD.
Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes from a Memory
Me and my flatmate at the time had a phase of trying to get into utterly ridiculous music.
This is the opening scene.

It features a hypnotist on stage talking softly to the singer, who is lying flat on his back on a sofa crooning into a headset mic.
We tried about 3 or 4 times to watch the entire DVD, but never managed to get past about 45 minutes.
We even gave the DVD commentary a stab, but soon realised that if there's anything worse than John Petrucci noodling away, it's John Petrucci talking about noodling away.
Portnoy is fucking dude though.
im listening to them for the first time
way more poppy that i was given to expect. would not be surprised if there are people who have slagged them off in this thread without ever actually listening to them. singer had some pipes on 'im tho
for reference
im listening to their Live At The Marquee album, cos im amused that the place it was recorded is now the montagu pyke wetherspoons
would be so great if a big pop star or indie band released an album that sounds like this
nah man
its like an instrumental interpretation of jazz scatting for 3 hours (just one song)
no, see, what has just happened
is that i've listened to one of their live records, and it's pretty straight forward cheesey rock. i just listened to it, just now, with my ears. it in no way resembled a three hour jazz improvisation
Their discography is very large
What I've heard is closer to what Gorkys describes but I'm willing to accept other stuff contains less jazz scatt and more cheese.
....why?
