bands i don't listen to most often cited by metal bands that i DO listen to as a big influence: tool, melvins, dream theater.
― scott seward, Thursday, 12 July 2007 16:36 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm really surprised you don't listen to the Melvins Scott as I always sort of pictured you as a guy wearing a Melvins shirt.
― filthy dylan, Thursday, 12 July 2007 17:42 (sixteen years ago) link
it is kinda surprising.
― scott seward, Thursday, 12 July 2007 17:43 (sixteen years ago) link
the singer probably ruins the band for me more than anything. he's got one of those trained voices that sounds stale and by-the-numbers.
petrucci, despite being a clown, is my only reason to listen to dream theater and find them mildly entertaining
― Charlie Howard, Thursday, 12 July 2007 19:46 (sixteen years ago) link
while absentminded, it's kinda cosy easy to mix up their name with dream academy's...
(the greater the disappointment afterwards, 'fcourse)

Ditto for Dream Syndicate.
Also the other great thread, Pashmina's minute-by-minute deconstruction of one of their LPs. Which I'm not going to search for.

― marmotwolof, Thursday, 12 July 2007 21:14 (sixteen years ago) link

("dream" and "theatre" not acceptable as words used in the answer)
― t**t, Thursday, 12 July 2007 21:17 (sixteen years ago) link

"In mid-1990, at a gig in New York, Dream Theater introduced Steve Stone as their new singer. He performed just three songs with the band before he was fired for performing less than adequately."
I think that's pretty cool
― akm, Friday, 13 July 2007 04:42 (sixteen years ago) link
Wait, they fired him ON STAGE?! That's the greatest thing I've ever heard.
― marmotwolof, Friday, 13 July 2007 04:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Hahahah Curtis how many times have you tried to revert the Wiki entry at this point? =)
― Trayce, Friday, 13 July 2007 05:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Being known for their significant sexual versatility, Dream Theater has performed a diverse range of acts. Sodomy, fellatio, cunnilingus, pederasty, masturbation...
― marmotwolof, Friday, 13 July 2007 05:03 (sixteen years ago) link
This has to be one of the most vandalized band wiki entries out there.

I read this press release "DREAM THEATER To Be Joined By The Esteemed BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC At The Boston Opera House On Tuesday, March 25" as meaning the entire Berklee College of Music would be performing with the band, which could be the only way to get me to see Dream Theater.

Ned, I normally have nothing but love for you and am definitely not a Dream Theater apologist by any means, but c'mon.
