Mr. Not Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Last year wasn't very fulfilling, but it seems like 2015 will be another 2013 for me - I'll be occupied and content with the new releases...

bluefox4000 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I know it seems like a gush over him........but i get more and more impressed with Mangini in this band. Everytime i see him. He has gelled in this band so nicely. and......dude can play. I even like him better then Portnoy on the older songs. He's the better fit. Sorry portnoy fans.

Mr. Not Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 And here we have a German band using "theater" http://www.metal-archives.com/images/3/1/5/1/3151.jpg One would say this entire discussion is petty and pointless... They'd be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick I agree with you. I also prefer Mangini before Portnoy and the reasons why are as follows: *Mangini is a better drummer*Mangini is a team player Edited March 24, 2015 by Hemispheres4Echo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be right. English being a foreign language, maybe they saw the choice and decided to choose by the flip of a coin! Lol never thought I'd ever see Edguy mentioned on this forum.

MusicHead Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Along with Rush, I also recently got back into DT this year. What's old is entirely new again. As for the "who's greater--Mangini or Portnoy?" debate, I tend to steer clear of it. I appreciate what MM has brought to the table, and I own a bunch of extraneous stuff (Flying Colors, Neal Morse, Transatlantic) MP has participated in. To me, it's asking, "Which of your brothers do you love more?" To which I invariably reply, "Yes." :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRushmonkey Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I love Dream Theater! Especially A Dramatic Turn of Events & Black Clouds and Silver Linings. My favourite is Breaking All Illusions :haz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'm so looking forward to a new DT recored. Cause their last self titled was one of their all time best......i truly believe that. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 We should have new album info within the next few months, I would think. Every two years without fail they give us something new. You have to give them a ton of credit for doing that. When a band has been around as long as they have, they don't always release new material so consistently. I'm surprised they don't take a little more time off between releases at this point in their career. They have tremendous work ethic to have kept this pace up for over 25 years now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I know next to nothing about this band. What "first song" do you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I know next to nothing about this band. What "first song" do you recommend? Metropolis I'm more of a "prog" head...so things like that and A Change of Seasons are among my favorite things.... As far as I'm concerned...my favorite album of theirs is Live at the Marquee...It has all you need to know.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I know next to nothing about this band. What "first song" do you recommend? Start with Metropolis Pt II or Images and Words. If you dislike these....next band, lol Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'd say start with Imagens & Words. Ut's more "straight to the point" than Metropolis - if you can say that about a Dream Theater album... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I know next to nothing about this band. What "first song" do you recommend? "Pull Me Under" That's the song that made me (and many others) a fan of theirs back when it came out in 1992. It's from the album Images & Words. That and Awake should be the first two albums you listen to. If those two albums don't hook you then don't bother going any farther than that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 As great as Metropolis Pt 2 is, I would never recommend that as the first album for a newbie. I think that album is too much to handle for a first time listener of the band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
