Dream Theater, Haken, possibly Fates Warning, and maybe Vapor Trails if I can afford it.

See you can't resist the lure of Fates Warning, even though you were "never crazy about them" even during your prog metal days... ;)

:LOL:

I figured that I'll listen to a few more of their older albums, and if I like them then I'll get the new one too.

 

:cheers: :guitar:

I had no clue who Haken were till today, but I listened to one of their tracks just now, and I dig what I'm hearing. I'll probably download their older stuff before deciding on getting their new album.

Zakk Wylde once described Poison (spot on, IMO) as Van Halen turned up to 10 in all the wrong directions. Both bands are imitators, without apparently really understanding what made the bands they're copying great.

Neither of the bands sound like the band you say they're imitating though...

 

Poison sound like Motley Crue as has been pointed out and neither of them sound anything like Van Halen. Dream Theater sound more like Queensryche if anyone, neither sound like RUSH, Queensryche sound like toned down Priest and Maiden, Dream Theater have elements of Queensryche, Yngwie Malmsteen, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden. Maybe they were influenced by RUSH but they sound nothing like them.

 

There's no RUSH or Van Halen in any of these bands to my ears, maybe you hear RUSH because you hear RUSH in every band... :huh:

 

Some Rush fans who don't like DT seem to have a fixation on DT being RUSH wannabees but it was really only one guy who was the wannabee and he's left the band now...

1 - T-D, which former member of DT are you talking about, Charlie Dominici or Derek Sherinian :huh: :huh: ? Mike POrtnoy, if anything, was accused of bringing too much heaviness to the band´s sound, trying to get them to sound like Metallica too much?

 

2 - Jokes aside, Rick, I can understand you not being a DT fan...a lot of Rush fans hate them. And chances are that after 11 albums, with another one underway, your opinion on them won´t change much. That´s ok though, it´s a "love them or hate them" kind of band;

 

3 - I heard one of the Haken tracks you guys posted, it sounds great, kinda like Dream Theater meets Incubus with tinges of Yes. I might buy their new CD as well, then!!

 

4 - I won´t get the new Motorhead, but it´s good that you remember to add it to the thread. Hopefully Lemmy will recover from his recent health problems and this won´t be their last record!

 

5 - Next time I DEMAND a tag and a place in the ballot! I love these topics.

What the hell are you talking about, Duck?

 

You're fixating on the makeup, and thinking that there's some similarity between Poison and (I suppose) Shout at the Devil - Theater of Pain era Crue (both great albums, btw). Just listen to the music. If there's any hair metal band that was emulating Roth era VH it's Poison. Their discography is a bunch of Unchained and Panama rips. And, if we're going to focus on visuals, every video they released clearly used Panama as a blue print.

 

Dream Theater sound like Ozzy? Put down the pipe, Duck. Please. It's for your own good. :smoke:

 

And, frankly, any band that sounds like Yngwie Malmsteen should be taken into custody immediately, and charged with aggravated idiocy.

Bbut there was no other option for just RUSH and DT so yes.

I think DT had a pretty obvious rush influence in the 90s, you can definitely hear some influence but they're hardly the rush rip-offs that many claim they are

I think poison has a lot in common with pain-era crue, that's where the $$$ and the cocaine and all the pussy they were scoring got a little more important than playing good rock music (although I suspect that was the prime motivation for all the bands of that genre)

 

I do agree with you that dream theater don't sound like ozzy....sure you can hear some randy influence on petrucci's playing, but thats it

You can hear it in minor places rarely here and there, mostly a guitar chord will remind me of something but listen to when this song kicks in, it's pretty apparent in this one:

You don't like Mr. Pinch Harmonics? But what about his playing on Steel Dragon's epic Living the Life?

When I say Malmsteen I'm talking about the use of neo-classical chops which John boy uses and Alex Lifeson never uses. You're not going to say that Petrucci sounds more like Lifeson than he does Yngwie?

 

Poison do not sound like Van Halen, CC Deville is no Eddie Van Halen! He's definitely more of a Mick Mars in skill, tone, chops and overall philosophy . Where's CC Deville's swing? Where's his brown sound? Where's his jazz-style lines? Ed tries to emulate Allan Holdsworth. CC Deville probably didn't know who Holdsworth was in 1986, probably still doesn't!

 

As for Randy Rhoads and Dream Theater, just listen to Sacrified Sons for an obvious Randy Rhoads riff rip-off!
