Hating Dream Theater

Agreed, that band sucks ass. All those stupid-ass Nazi Black metal bands deserve to take it up the ass.

Well in school I hated Maths, just because I could not understand anything. There is a similarity here. There are people who cannot understand Dream Theater, so they hate them. I doubt if any of these "DT haters" has listened carefully their works. from WDADU to LTEs, Dream Theater are fairly called the greatest band in progressive metal. Their ive appearences are far better than the studio works. 7 years ago I went to one of their shows just to see a guitar solo and a drums solo (At that time i was thinking that DT are a "Watch what we can play" band!!), just to see 4 pro musicians at their best. Anyway, I can't understand why there's such a topic? Dream Theater are unique. If there is another band like them or better please let me know.

They're definitely not unique, even if they were the first to do it.

I don't think theres another band like Dream Theater. Everyone will come up with "Dream Theater just use an old formular" and stuff like that... but come on... is there another band who plays and sounds just like Dream Theater?

Dream Theater is definitely unique and original. Tell me if some of the songs off Images and Words are not original or a Change of Seasons?

Without wishing to be pedantic, this is a prog rock forum, so I think RT is in the right place... This thread was only moved to "Progressive Metal" recently.

I don't think that DT are even the best metal band - they don't seem to understand what metal is about - the only thing that's "metal" about DT is the riffs and the guitar solos. Motorhead are a better metal band, as are Iron Maiden and Metallica - because they understand and helped define the genre. Heck, I could name 1,000 "better" metal bands - at least, metal bands that are more representative of metal as a genre.

Do DT have arse-length hair? Do they wear ripped denim and leather 24/7? Do they sing about Demons, Wizards, Rainbows, Motorbikes, Devil-Worship or Lust? Where are the fist-pumping choruses - the head-banging straight-4 riffs, and the crank-it-to-11 sound?

DT are a kind of hybrid of prog rock and metal - progressive metal was first applied to Rush, and later to Diamond Head. DT sound like neither band, and hence are not technically Prog Metal.

Their music does not seem to fall into the prog rock category (to which they aspire) or metal (from which they take the majority of their sound) - or even the old FM Rock ballad formula, which is where most of their song structuring seems to be based.

Kick 'em out, I say

Yes, the new system confused me,anyway the thread title says it all I don't think that DT are even the best metal band - they don't seem to understand what metal is about - the only thing that's "metal" about DT is the riffs and the guitar solos.

Heck, I could name 1,000 "better" metal bands - at least, metal bands that are more representative of metal as a genre. I couldnt, dont think I even know that ,many. Do DT have arse-length hair?

So if you dont sound like the above, your not prog metal? I dont agree. ?Their music does not seem to fall into the prog rock category (to which they aspire) or metal (from which they take the majority of their sound) - or even the old FM Rock ballad formula, which is where most of their song structuring seems to be based.
