RushRevisited Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I finally picked up one of this band's DVDs (Live at Budokan) - EXCELLENT! They are extremely talented! Any suggestions on albums I should get/DVDs I should get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madra sneachta Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I asked the exact same question on CP in June - I'd never heard them before, but noticed the name coming up again and again so made some enquiries. I bought two albums, which were superb Metropolis 2 - Scenes from a Memory & Images and Words. Excellent stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushRevisited Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 And this keyboard player is unbelievable (obviously others must think so too, or they wouldn't dedicate a track to his keyboard solo) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/RushRevisited/DTkeyboard.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I'm not a big DT fan, but I love Portnoy. The guy is astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hap Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Imo We must dinguish between 2 bands: The old Dream Theater,with Kevin Moore,who created a masterpiece called "Images & Words" The current Dream Theater,an average prog-metal band. P.s:Red Barchetta sung by LaBrie is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room 34 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 QUOTE (hap @ Jan 14 2005, 03:18 PM) Imo We must dinguish between 2 bands: The old Dream Theater,with Kevin Moore,who created a masterpiece called "Images & Words" The current Dream Theater,an average prog-metal band. P.s:Red Barchetta sung by LaBrie is awesome. Well, to each his own. I tried to get into the old DT stuff many years back and just didn't like it at all. By contrast, I LOVE their newer stuff, '97 onwards, and would highly recommend them to anyone who is into challenging music played by overwhelmingly talented musicians. That said, I have two big complaints: 1. James LaBrie seems like a decent guy and certainly has a passion for what he does, but I just really do not like his vocal style. (But the music is strong enough to appeal despite his vocals.) 2. There's at least one completely lame cheesefest ballad on every album. I literally find at least one track on almost every album completely unlistenable. But I LOVE the rest! BTW -- I saw these guys open for Yes a couple years back, and they played "Machine Messiah." Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rocinante Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 They're very good. Images and Words is awesome, so is Train of Thought, Awake, an 6DOIT. Scenes From a Memory? blech, I dislike that album. But hteir worst IMO is still Octavarium, which has one good song (title track) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 When Dream and Day Unite, Images & Words, Awake and Scenes from a Memory are my faves. If you love the Live at Budokan DVD you should definately grab the Score DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Awake. A f*ckin' masterpiece. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/87/Dream_theater_awake.jpg/200px-Dream_theater_awake.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prog.fusion Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 also, pick up the Live in Tokyo/Once in a Livetime DVD as especially the latter has a lot of rarer songs most casual fans aren't privvy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tick Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 In case no one noticed, this is an old thread that tangy bumped. R.R. is a big Dream Theater fan, this thread had me scratching my head for a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
