Hmmm?????

Imagine them covering Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure?

My songlist would be: The Knife: Strong and dark Musical Box: Would love to listen this track by DT Watcher of the Skies: A good chance for Jordan on keyboards Supper's Ready: I'm sure they would make an excellent work with the final instrumental section, it's so violent. Can-Utility and the Coastliners: Another great chance for Jordan. Get 'Em Out by Friday: Great changes should be a pleasure for DT. Los Endos: Simply I would make an excellent and more violent version of this good closer on DT style. Iván

That songs are very suitable for dt, that covers would be awesome, They would have a lot of problems with the beginning of Cinema Show, for ex, or with some ballads. But this songlist is amazing and I hope that they would cover  Genesis on Monday 4, here in Argentina.

The very thought appalls me. The only band that should cover Moonmadness is........ well Camel, actually. DT would make a total mess of it; the thought of Petrucci & co trying to play with the sublety and emotion of Latimer i& co is horrific. Similarly, leave Genesis to do their songs; they do them better than anyone. DT should stick to their own material. They play that better than anyone else could.

I'd like to hear them covering Firth of Firth... Would probably sound great with that typical "Prog Metal sound" of Dream Theater...

Just think of John Petrucci playing that Guitar solo from Firth of Firth... Dosent that thought just make you salivate with joy?

Who out there nowadays are like Van Der Graff Generator? I mean dual keyboards, reedman and a drummer?

I am bringing back this thread because the thought of someone covering a entire album by one of the prog greats is quite intriguing to me, especially Dream Theater. Like the Neo-Psychedelic/Progressive rock band Phish they would often cover entire albums live, and I remember reading that the band had often considered doing one of three Genesis albums: Selling England By The Pound, Abacab and A Trick Of A Tail, but when the band rehearsed a few of the songs they found out how difficult Genesis' often mistakely simple sounding songs really are...

Of all the albums that DT would cover from Genesis, I think A Trick of A Tail would be the album suited for the band one, and they would also agree on that point themselves....
