Liquid Tension Experiment or Dream Theater

I also enjoy them alot i dont think that progressive gets the respect it deserves. i also recently got into The Mars Volta and adam71 if you like dream theater, Liquid tension experiment is the same guitarist-petrucci, drummer-portnoy, and they added the keyboardist to dream because they liked him so much in LTE

also LTE is compltetly instrumental. They have a song called 3 minute warning and its a 29 minute improvisational jam its pretty amazing that these guys can go into a room and just feed off of one another for half an hour andmake an amazing song i would highly suggest you check it out.

I own a couple of Dream Theater CD's.

Never could get into their free form style.

Always sounded like they were copying some of Rush's long winded instrumentals they've done over the years.

Really talented, wow. I checked out their master of puppets cover. The singer sucks, but the actual intruments were played better live than metallica did on the album!

Both bands (they're one in the same) but both are just insane. They are extremely talented Petrucci is the man and Portnoy owns.

Thats because Metallica has no talent, Lars Ulrich is horrendous and the rest are average at best, if not somewhat below average. Don't get me wrong I like a lot of their music, but as for talent, they just don't have it.

I don't get why everyone hates DT's singer, I actually like him, but to each his own.

cus he sounds like a lil biatch.
good music. amazing music.

his singing in some of his stuff is just GAY.

Some of it is alright thou, like his newer shit....but still gay at times.

So, Robert Plant sang somewhat like that yet he is considered one of the best of all time, and rightly so. Led Zeppelin 4ever!!!

Jason la Brie fits Dream Theater. As mentioned above Robert Plant fits Zepplin. LTE was actually suppose to be completly seperate from DT. Mike Portnoy (drummer) is the brain behind LTE and he wanted Darrell Abbott aka dimebag darrell to play lead guitar but at the time he was touring with Pantera. The bassist Tony Levin is from King Crimson (21st century schizoid man) progressive band from 60-70's and at the time the keyboardist wasnt in dream theater at all.

I don't think I could disagree more with this statement. To each his own sure but they definitely have some talent. You don't sell that many albums and keep that kind of a following if there is NO talent. I admit they lost a lot of that following after the Black Album because Load, Reload and St. Anger absolutely sucked balls.

I personally HATED them during the whole Napster thing. It wasn't that they were speaking up against illegal downloading.........it was their (Lars mostly) sheer greed. I wanted to pick up a 10 lb. sledge and smash Lars's head in. Mostly he's just a little bitch. But he can bang some drums, no denying that. Hetfield has a perfect voice for their style of music. Hammet, though he's NO Dave Mustaine, is very good as far as speed is concerned.

I don't get why everyone hates DT's singer, I actually like him, but to each his own.

I do however agree with this. He has a distinct type of voice. It's not for everyone but I've learned to like it when I'm listening to Dream Theater. But, to each his own.

I have a couple of DT CD's and even their greatest hits, which yes they do have one, lol!

Singer is not that great, some songs he sounds good, but most........meh! The instrumentals are what catch me. FYI, they have one of the best drummers in the world!
