soooo much for "progressive" metal, shitlord
>unlistens every album
Justin Perry
What is best Dream Theater album and why is it Images and Words?
Matthew Cruz
Technically it still is since the left are the regressive ones now
Chase Green
I would have guessed everyone from Snore Theater would be a liberal kike given where 90% of the. And members are from.
Charles Torres
wtf I love dream theater now
Jeremiah Collins
Berklee =/= Berkeley
Blake Russell
I agree, Brazil.
Joseph Mitchell

Metal music in general has always been more of a white guy/right wing thing.
inb4 Botswana cowboy niggers
Gavin Moore
This guy sucks at guitar but real fast
Bentley Johnson
fuck this brings joy to my heart
John Petrucci is quite actually the best guitarist and shredder to ever live, and he plays in the best band to ever have made music
Pic related is a highly underrated album worth a listen
Dream Theater is a long time favorite.
Great album, James LaBrie is a little sketchy sometimes in his upper range though
Gabriel Wilson
this
day of the rake will be delayed by 1 week
Jaxon Cox
Because it's the only one that has Pull Me Under on it
More notes per second = more emotion per second, user.
Luis Thomas

Love how this song goes full circle, just like night and day.
Benjamin Green
Huh so that's why he was screaming praise kek into the mic last time I saw them live
I thought it was weird
Alexander Hall
youtu.be
Probably the most underrated song on the album
Hudson Johnson
Okay, billy joe armstrong
Asher Jenkins
>Because it's the only one that has Pull Me Under on it
Don't forget about their 'best of' album, the one they named "Greatest Hit"

Hunter Ross
Did not know this, user. Thanks.
When are leftists going to start referring to themselves as "progs" or "proggies".
Here some Petrucci with some old, bald guy playing a stick.
Andrew Thompson

Jayden Sanders
Kek. That is pretty funny
Jace Nelson
This album is underrated. I need to relisten to it and see if its secretly a heavy redpill dose
Christopher Harris
>worth a listen
More like a million. Awake is a masterpiece
Zachary Jones
>TFW you don't have to keep up the lie that you have been telling people about how much you listen to Dream Theatre because they committed a thought crime and when confronted you can just tell the truth now
Carter Peterson
Six degrees of inner turbulence.
Carson Brown
Here, I mean.
youtube.com
Landon Ward
Sacrificed Sons is about 9/11 and radical terrorism in general, ironically one of their most redpilled song has been written by a fucking leaf
Plus the whole album is about numbers so it's infused with meme magic
Joshua Brown
Please dont tell me that right wingers are as autists as prog metal fans.
Aaron Martin
>tfw someone starts a band called The Smoky Proggs
Brayden Torres
They are all good except the last two. They have been overdone i think, despite having good parts, they just seem over produced and overly long.
Jayden Brown
LTE>>>>>>DT
Dream Theater's only decent albums are When DAy and Dream Unite, I&W and Awake, everything else is literally drivel
Asher Jones
Shadilay
Owen Cook
>the best guitarist and shredder to ever live, and he plays in the best band to ever have made music
Matthew Flores
I agree. It's also James LaBrie's best performance.
Parker Fisher
I ca't believe you guys are actually having a discussion about the objectively worst genre in music.
Nicholas Torres
That's so problematic isn't it?
Evan Bell
This. Regressive or static metal is far superior.
Thomas Baker
nah ya just have literally no taste, 99% of prog metal is shite
Evan Rivera
Shut the fuck up Sup Forumstant scum. There's nothing more annoying than a pretentious Sup Forumstant.
Chase Brooks
>More notes per second = more emotion per second, user.
Amazing, I'm using this from now on to antagonize MUH FEELING faggots.
Cooper Green
trump dicksuckers are much worse
Joseph Nelson
>8 years
Nathaniel Perez
>implying I'm pro-Hillary
lad they're both zionists, that's my problem
Matthew Russell
>you will never be as badass as the peruvian in this thread
Andrew Hill
Best thing to happen to the band since Portnoy left.
Owen Gomez
Hitler was a Zionist.
Thomas Richardson
In my experience as a guitarist, only people who suck at playing guitar complain about fast playing/shredding, that playing fast doesn't have any emotion. It's just a weak response from people who suck, but want to validate their lack of talent and hard work vs someone like petrucci
Juan Kelly
Ever since they canned Portnoy, Dream Theater has gone to shit. It's like they lost their soul. Having said that Petrucci is still an amazing guitarist.
Oliver Cruz
There are shredders who make genuinely shit music like Rusty Cooley, who is arguably one of the best shredders technically. Most musicians view shredding as masturbation. It takes a real talent to shred musically.
Landon Gray
yeah man, you have to have both the creativity to play expressively while also having the ability to play it consistently.
Petrucci can basically do anything, but its almost always too perfect. The more metal they try to be the more phony it seems.
I dig all the albums to some extent. Even stinkers like The Astonishing and the self titled have a song or two I like. Six Degrees, Images and Words, Train of Thought, etc. are all 10/10 jizzgargle amazing
Hudson Collins
there are people on Sup Forums RIGHT NOW who think Dream Theater is a good band
Chase Kelly
and in fairness John's guitar books and instruction videos are very well done and thought through
Still is right, he shines the brightest when he's playing stuff like LTE, DT nosedived very soon
Joshua Brown
Yeah, it almost seems inhuman. As great as he is, I prefer guys like Gary Moore myself, who shred in short bursts with raw emotion. I mean, when you spend thousands of hours playing to a metronome you're going to have a manufactured sound.
Owen Morris
kektopolis: part 2. Scenes from a memery
David Clark
This.
Michael Flores
Dream Theater is the fedora of prog metal (yes, even more that Tool) in a genre that is already fedora by itself
Still I'm glad he supports drumpf
Nathan Green
>spend 7 minutes talking about music and defending the latest album
>make a very lukewarm feel good statement about the US
>website titles "PETRUCCI LOVES TRUMP"
what the hell
Bentley Turner
I assume John Schaeffer is cool too.
With his side project, Sons of Liberty. I would think.
Kayden Perez
that's a big problem with these news sites. they need content so they'll mine for anything. for all we know John would agree with whoever won.
Blake Russell
Clickbait
Ryder King
Prog metal is a gay but he's still our guy
Lincoln Bennett
This is officially the /prog/ against progressives thread.
Sebastian Bennett
Leaf of truth
David Evans
You're just jealous because you can't comprehend complex time signatures and counterpoint like they can. They have deep philosophical lyrics and could be compared to classical music in terms of scope. I've seen them 8 times and have a tattoo and they were all super nice to me and signed my ticket. I can play most of their stuff, but I'm only like a 9/10 guitarist at best compared to John the 10/10 goat.
Ryan Stewart
Can't tell if you are just joking or going full autist
Christian Barnes
Petrucci plays at Bogdonoff speed.
Josiah Rogers
Awake is my first and probably my favorite album by them. Then again, it is one of the few good full albums they have. I always saw Dream Theater as a live band; they always play a medley of their best stuff. They suck now that Portony left.
youtube.com
Hudson Brooks
I hope they make a seven part concept album about it and it only appeals to jackoff nerds, like the rest of their shit, accordingly.
Transiton (phases I-III) communication/powers
Gravitational Forces: Life Flow (Nickelback of metal begins here)
So on for way too long...

Tyler Ward
>make one of the best death metal albums of all time
>remake the same album 4 times
>copy celtic frost, hellhammer, motorhead, and venom for the rest of their career
>a band
James Wilson
Could I get a quick rundown on that?

Okay you fucking nerds. If you haven't listened to Angra, you fucked up. A lot.

If you're still listening to Dream Theater and Symphony X wondering where you could go next, check Angra out.
Camden Cook
>tfw identify as progressive bc of bull moose and teddy
>they have stolen my word, the p word!
Easton Morales
>What's more important: learning to play a lot of notes fast or learning how to get the most out of a few notes?
>You need both abilities: to be able to sing a melody and play with space, and also to have the requisite technique to play the most intricate music. That makes you more complete, and able to play a wider variety of music. It's a bunch of bullshit every time guitarists say, "One note says so much more than 100." I always laugh at idiots who make that claim. Tell that to a flamenco player or a classical player and see what they say. It's almost a defensive reaction. They take something they lack, attack it and claim they never wanted it in the first place. Sure!
From Al Di Meola.
Adam Walker
Yes, awake is awesome. Almost as good as images. Never get tired of erotomania leading into voices. And John myungs moment in the spitlight with lifting shadows. And Kevin moores poignant space dye vest still gives me shivers. 9.5/10
Colton Russell
>Install Gentoo
Samuel Gray
Mike Mangini > Kike Portnoy
Chase Ross
I'm sure I could find an actual YouTube comment worse than that
John Cook
Are you Guy Mann-Dude? If not, what happened to him? Anyone know?
Josiah Adams
That's not how you spell octavarium
Ayden James
Cool to see someone mention the great Di Meola on here. This is for you
youtube.com
James Smith
See enough of him on fox news intermissions
Noah Sullivan
Actually any Dream Theater and Prog Metal fans who haven't checked out Frank Zappa owe it to themselves to do that too. I'm drunk so I don't give a fuck, Frank Zappa is THE rock icon, and his live band and performances make Dream Theater look like a school play. His bands would famously rehearse 12 hours at a time, and are, frankly, obnoxiously talented.
youtube.com
Aiden Nguyen
Met him once when he did a signing session in a local music shop few hours before the gig, great guy.
Gabriel Price
Did you ever see the one of him as a young man when he plays the bicycle on the Steve Allan show?
Noah Wright
if only their singer didn't sound like some 80's power metal reject, honestly the only reason I don't listen to dream theatre and it's a shame because the instrumentation is among the GOATS
Asher Lewis
I certainly did. Frankly Zappa is just in another fucking league compared to most other musicians/composers. It's not fair to compare him to anything, but resisting is such hard work also considering he influenced so fucking much.
Di Meola is very cool. However, I see you, and raise Allan "IKEA guitar wizard" Holdsworth.
Christopher Parker
I do not understand why the majority metal heads are leftist garbage. The only ones that actually aren't are black metal fans, and I can't even into black metal besides burzum.
Aaron Garcia
That little picture of balding insane era devon townsend
John Collins
My friend told me Labrie sounded like Robbie Williams, and I cannot fucking unhear it now. Earlier albums before he blew his voice out aren't so bad, but anything past 95 and it's very noticeable.
Justin Howard
This, guys like Rusty Cooley, Michael angelo baito and so on just regurgitate scales VERY fast, and it sounds fucking cool and all but how about you write something compelling that I'll actually remember 5 minutes after hearing it.
Best guitar playing I ever heard was the old guy who looked stoned out of his brain playing a lap steel guitar on stage with the band "red rider" at a fair. Technical knowhow IS important, it's very important, but it's not exactly pleasing to the human ear.
Christopher Rogers
Gary Moore is fucking awesome desu
Evan Collins
Yeah man I'm only 30 but my dad used to be a roadie for Zebra and always had tons of albums that he would make me listen to as a kid. Zappa was one of my favorites. When it comes to not just guitar, but to composition in general Zappa is one of the greatest composers since Ravel.
Also, VERY NICE with the Holdsworth man. Dude is a god. I'm a drummer too, and Tony Williams is one of THE best.
These two guys are pretty good, not as good as the above, but still.
