I'm afraid you're right

EDIT: Well, no. I think they'd nail "Calling All Stations" quite well (and it's quite a good album IMO)

Why have three people vote that they would never cover Genesis, they already have coverd Turn It On Again on A Change Of Seasons, part of The Big Medley, and that song proves that there is nothing that they wouldnt cover, and do it well.

As a matter of fact, I think DT are a great cover band.... the problem arises when they play their own material! The covers on "A Change of Season", in my humble opinion, are the best thing on the album, especially "Perfect Strangers". As to their covering Genesis, I agree with those who say SEBTP is not suited to their style at all. I voted for "A Trick of the Tail", which to my mind strikes the right balance between rockier and mellower tracks.

DT are primarily a prog-metal outfit and are much more suited to covering Metallica/Maiden (as they have done) than the atmospheric prog of Genesis.  It just wouldn't work in my opinion.

I still reckon they could do Suppers Ready right and they are great at the atmospher when they put there backs into it.

BTW whats your avatar?

I don't want to even think about it, that would ruin all beauty in Genesis music, I mean there would be mass overplaying on the drums with no sutleties, the keyboard sounds would all be crappy 80s' tones, Petrucci would want to solo the entire time....it would be disgusting

They also played the opening sample from 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway', so who knows?

Have you heard their cover of 'Dark Side of the Moon'? They remain very faithful to the original version without going over the top, in fact they did it just about note for note correctly; though for some reason the intro to Money was played on guitar.

As far as the original question, I'd imagine they'd do either 'Foxtrot' or 'The Lamb'; though I'd wish for Selling England if only to hear their take on 'The Cinema Show' and 'Firth of Fifth'. One could only dream.

If DT = Dream Theater, let's hope the idea never sees the cold light of day.  They'd just butcher and massacre Genesis' music with their heavyhanded, beligerent style...

I think they could cover Nursery Cryme. There are some heavier numbers (Musical Box, Hogweed) on that one and it would be intresting to see/hear DT:s version on them.

Allthough it is a bit hard to imagine LaBrie singing Harold The Barrel.

Actually, DT = Dream Theater, so the idea will probably come up sooner or later. :)

They could maybe do it - I just don't think they are the right type of band to carry it off.

My avatar is the cover of the Marillion single "Assassing".

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....

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?

I wonder if DT ever thought about doing Camel's Moonmadness ? Labrie singing will be kept to a minimum and the band can play to their hearts content.... Imagine what thse guys would sound like re-doing "Lunar Sea"?
