Necromancer Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Dec 10 2005, 03:06 AM) If I didn't know any better, I'd think I was in a Dream Theater thread on a Rush board! Off hand I can't even think of one DT song. I know that from this board I'm curious to hear them. Maybe I have heard them, but if I did then they obviously weren't much for me to NOTICE them. All I can say is that from what I've read, I think Portney is a douche. But until I hear them, i can't really make a call on their music. I think my buddy, GhostWriter, has been talking about them to me lately, so he must have some of their stuff. I'll have him burn me some of what he thinks is good and we'll see. But yeah... you ARE in a DT thread. It's not a DREAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuppetKing2112 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 QUOTE (Dreamline @ Dec 9 2005, 11:59 PM) QUOTE (PuppetKing2112 @ Dec 9 2005, 11:53 PM) And they play these songs exactly like the originals. Sure, it's impressive that they can recreate those, but what makes a cover great is when they make it somehow their own, and Dream Theater fails to do that, instead recreating what has already been done exactly. Someone hasn't listened to Change of Seasons as closely as they claim. It's well known amongst Deep Purple fans that the song Perfect Strangers is about the only Blackmore-era tune that doesn't really feature a guitar solo - yet on the DT cover there is an extended solo from John Petrucci. Exactly like the original? I don't think so. I'm actually not very familiar with Deep Purple's work... But Bohemian Rhapsody? The Zeppelin medley? Yeah, exactly the same.

SFAM is DT's best selling and IMO greatest recording achievement. It is also virtuoso keyboardist Jordan Rudess' first album with the band.

Dreamline Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I've spoken out here already. I still prefer Rush OVERALL to DT. But Scenes From A Memory is possibly the most perfect album ever made - by anybody! 70-odd minutes of musical perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's not me that needs to "settle down" I am sorry if that is the impression that you got, because that wasnt at all what I was saying. I was just confused why the conversation, which was talking about the band Dream Theatre, all of the sudden switched directions to some lady who was making claims that Rush had malicious meanings in thier songs. It just seemed to me like that conversation just came out of nowhere. No one said she was also saying stuff about DT, so I had no idea it was related.

Dreamline Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I admit I didn't make it terribly clear that this whole thing involved both Rush AND DT. A simple request for clarification would have sufficed. N/M apology accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indica Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 OK this has GONE TOO FAR!!!!! Thanks guys, fricking THANKS!!! OK, I was at Tower Records in Manhattan today and I bumped into this guy and he dropped the shopping bags he had in his hand. He must have seen my Rush Signals tour T-shirt or something because he said "Oh, so since you are a RUSH fan you think you can walk anywhere you want knocking peoples bags out of their hands".......I said "sorry man, it was an accident"......Then I noticed he was wearing a Dream Theater shirt. He said "ya, I know your kind, you Rush fans think you are above everyone else and can just DO WHATEVER YOU WANT". He said "Oh, you can listen to Rush but you think you are too good to listen to other great bands like Dream Theater, I know your kind" I didn't really know what to say, the guy seemed really pissed off and it was just an accident. But he kept getting more and more pissed and he pushed me on the shoulder and he said "Lets end this fight right here and now, lets prove that Dream Theater fans are tougher than Rush fans and Dream Theater deserves RESPECT from you damn Rush fans" He then hit me in the face and he said "THIS IS FOR NeilPeartFan2112" Then he hit me in the stomach and said "This is for Moonraker" and he hit me like 10 times saying different names of people here so I know me getting beat up has something to do with you guys!!! He was way to fast, I couldnt hit him back he kept moving out of the way. Those DT fans are FAST!!! I just wish you all would settle your differences with the DT fans because I am tired of getting beat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
