QUOTE (Moonraker @ Dec 12 2005, 09:11 PM) White Stripes actually bowed out of the show I went to see last Thursday early. Apparently Meg was drunk cuz it was her birthday that day and was screwing up her parts. So after about 20 mins into the set, he did a 10 minute solo type of thing, followed by a 10 minute intermission, and 10 more minutes of playing, then ended the show right there. They were supposed to be on for a full hour, if not longer. Friends dont let friends drink and drum

QUOTE (Moonraker @ Dec 12 2005, 08:22 PM) Led Zeppelin is first on the chopping block..... , no fouls have been committed by anyone, dont feel bad Test. nooooooooo!

QUOTE (Indica @ Dec 9 2005, 07:54 PM) But it's funner with more drama and people bickering at each other. All good threads would be boring. I'm just joking. Or am I? Edited to say.... Indy your cool!

QUOTE (tangdog @ Dec 9 2005, 05:12 PM) QUOTE (PuppetKing2112 @ Dec 9 2005, 06:53 PM)I'm with Kazz and Moon on this one. I'm not at all denying that DT are technically proficient musicians, I just think they are extremely boring and their songs go on way too long with needless soloing and such. I have listened to teir entire discography many times, and I cannot gather anything that resembles emotion or soul out of their music. Some highly educated musicians using their music as a forum to show off their technical skills instead of making music that says something. Portnoy annoys me to no end, comparing himself to Neil Peart in every interview. And James LeBrie seems to have no voice of his own. Listen to the Change of Seasons live album. They do Bohemian Rhapsody and he sounds EXACTLY like Freddie Mercury. They do a Zeppelin medley and he sounds EXACTLY like Robert Plant. They do Genesis/Journey/whatever and he sounds EXACTLY like Phil Collins, Steve perry, etc. 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. As for their originals, it all strikes me as prog-metal-by-numbers with 10 minute solos that never go anywhere and using everything as an excuse to show off even more. As Kazz said, when Rush fans start loving a different terrible band, we will start bashing them instead of DT. But for now, this is what we have. Dude, do you hate these guys so much you have to copy and paste your own BS. Hows about a little fresh insight into how much these guys suck. As you said and can be found on this site back in July: Jul 8 2005, 11:33 PM Report Post Quote Post Prime Mover * Group: Members * Posts: 978 Member No.: 64 Joined: 26-August 04 Location: Portland, OR I've said this a million times, but this is turning into another DT bashing thread, so I'll have another go...to me, DT seems like they want to BE Rush...especially Portnoy. And they WOULD be a good fourth-rate tribute band, if the only albums Rush had ever made were 2112 and Hemispheres...DT basically focuses on the 20-minute-epic/odd-time-time signature aspect of prog rock, but none of the innovations, or the creativity. The genre is called "PROGRESSIVE" rock MEANING evolution or forward movement, and DT stiffly and expertly recreates things that other people have already done. Kazz is right....DT is really a band of Yngwie Malmsteens, just soloing all the time for the sake of showing off. LeBrie...on their Change of Seasons live album, he really proves my point of him having no voice of his own. They do a Zeppelin medley, and he sounds EXACTLY like Robert Plant. They do Bohemian Rhapsody, and he sounds EXACTLY like Freddie Mercury. They do Journey, Genesis, etc. and he sounds EXACTLY like Steve Perry/Phil Collins/whoever. HE HAS NO VOICE OF HIS OWN. HIS voice? Generic, insipid operatic-metal voice...worse than Ronnie James Dio, if that's possible. They wanted a thread about DT with no (if not limited) bashing and yet you start poking at it... If you want to start bashing...why don't you revisit the other threads? and I thought that maybe JUST maybe this thread would turn out to be ok...

QUOTE (tick @ Dec 9 2005, 04:57 PM)dam,i wouldnt listen a groups albums over and over if i didnt like them. What did you expect? Puppet was born to be a Music critic! Next Cameron Crowe in my opinion Just goes to show he has an openmind..which is great to see

QUOTE (Dreamline @ Dec 9 2005, 01:40 PM) QUOTE (Moonraker @ Dec 9 2005, 04:29 PM) What does that have to do with Dream Theatre? The same crazy sh*t goes on in the DT forums and usenet newsgroups. The same cretin is obviously a fan of both bands and crosses over. THAT is what it has to do with DT but obviously I didn't make that clear. Someone just had to be rude about it instead He was just asking a question...settle down...

QUOTE (kazzman @ Dec 9 2005, 09:28 AM) QUOTE (tick @ Dec 9 2005, 09:26 AM) who the hell is nightwish? A finnish symphonic metal band. gooooood stuff

QUOTE (floydfanatic111 @ Dec 7 2005, 10:18 PM) Very good band. Ann Wilson is the greatest female singer EVER! To Hell with anyone who says Mariah Carey is better, Mariah is OK to look at but her singing makes me sick. Ann's singing gets better with age! Amen to that!

QUOTE (launchpad67a @ Dec 8 2005, 11:02 AM) I still don't understand what the problem is here? I started listening to DT (and all prog-rock) BECAUSE of Rush. DT is a rock musicians band, and I hardly know any rock musicians that don't think they are great at what they do. Rush is a musicians band also but happened to get radio play, thus making them more appealing to the masses (plus they write music that most people understand and can listen to easily). I personally think this is the problem: Some people on this forum are so 'Peart-Peart-Peart/Rush-Rush-Rush is God' and can't get it through their heads that there are other great bands and players out there that WE like too! Ooohhh, let's not let anyone intrude on our sacred band Rush because of course, they are the only band and have the 3 greatest players of all-time! Blah frickin' Blah!!!! Get real and feel free to talk about Any band or musician you like...BUT Please Don't put down something/someone just because you feel threatened or feel they have invaded your sacred musical grounds. There is plenty of room for all of us!! I love Rush but there are other bands too, that 'Others' like as well. With that said....... sleep tight! Thank you Launch and Indy. Good words
