Dream Theater--Greatest Metal Band of this Era

Do you mean 7th order Differential equation? If so, good luck to you. lol :D

I agree with your point that every meraber of DT is very talented though. I think the most underrated meraber is La Brie. Many people criticise his vocals but I really like them. Myung doesn't receive enough recognition either. He's one of my favourite bassists.
 
I wasn't just refering to this thread. You have a tendency to treat it like you're better then everyone else and half you're arguing skills consist of going on about knowledge you have which you rarely back up, and you really do act arrogant. I was trying to be as nice about it as possible, but seriously get off your high horse.
 
Many singers also seem to sing vibrato on every note, suggesting that they couldn't actually keep a clear, level tone if they wanted to. The parts of the first Dream Theatre song on your link suggested that LaBrie used vibrato a lot because his flat voice might sound too weak (just going on what I heard).
 
Okay, now apply that same thinking to how LaBrie is possibly the greatest singer.

You never back your arguments up, and I'm not suprised, good luck trying to find proof when you've got your head in the sand.
 
I like Dream Theater, but the fanaticism over the band bugs me. They're nowhere near as great as their fans seem to think they are.
 
Because that's completely objective. :rolleyes:

Music quality is entirely subjective, however I think talent can be measured objectively somewhat. So that's where we differ.



Wrong.

Technical skill is in itself a talent, therefore it makes you talented to a degree. To compose a great melody is entirely subjective, sure writing a catchy melody ain't easy for anybody, however I think it takes a lot more talent to make a complex and catchy melody than a simple and catchy melody.



This is just durab. Basically you're saying you shouldn't have any respect for musicians who put a lot of love, care and effort into their music just because you don't like it?

You can not like say The Beatles or Stevie Wonder, but to say they're talentless is objectively wrong.



No. I don't care if it bothers you, I can hate a persons music and still admire their talent, that's my personal philosophy and if that annoys you then too bad.
 
Booey often brags about how he's "Dr. Prog," and how is opinions are better than mine, how he thinks he's special because his brother is a drummer and he plays keyboarRAB, etc, etc, etc.

Why do I need to answer?

"I'm easily the smartest person on this forum, dare I say"

=

Sarcasm/satirising booey. Check my above edited post.

Okay?
 
I'd retort and prove all your points wrong, but you know as well as I do that you are, and are just arguing for the sake of it, so I'm going to leave it at that.
 
Im not defending anyone, but on other boarRAB, WOW for example, qft is "quoted for truth"

I myself couldn't compare the two as I know about 5 songs from each band.
 
1. I never once mixed up time signatures, that was you remeraber? Unlike you, I actually know what they are, I bet you'd have a hard time even recognising 3/4 or 4/4 lol. The simple fact is that I was taking about the key's a song's in then you said KC have done it and started talking about time sigs. And you say I'm the stupidest? I'm easily the smartest person on this forum, dare I say, with an extremely high IQ, and my degrees. I won't believe that anyone actually takes you seriously when you call me stupid. All your credentials are is that you've been playing keyboard for a tiny little while and you think just because you're some music nerd who knows a few things about the history of whatever, that you're special. NEWS FLASH: any idiot can learn about that crap, all they have to do is be able to read, so I'm guessing you started learning not so long ago. The funny thing is how everyone thinks I'm the arrogant one because all I've done is talk about my credentials. But I only brought them up when morons like you called me stupid, funny times.

2. Since when was grammar was my "primary" reason for being smarter than everyone else? lol, nice putting worRAB in my mouth like usual.

3. You STILL think spelling is the same as grammar! And I made a simple typo, oh no. A spelling error in the form of a typo is nothing compared with grammatical errors, nub.

4. I already explained that that "review" wasn't an ordinary review. It was for the DT fans only because they asked for it and asked for it to be as long as it was.

5. How about I try again, and please keep in mind that every time I type to you I'm trying to be the LEAST insulting as possible, everyone should know this by now...FACT: I looked up LaBrie's highest and lowest notes in various sheet music a loooong time ago, and you know the rest.
 
A mellotron is a type of keyboard, so is a moog (sort of), but I don't think KC ever used one (moog) did they? Can ya give us an example of a song?

Oh are you saying when they did use a keyboard...?
 
If you have not heard of this band yet, then you are not enlightened on what band is the greatest at what they do... I pray that people can listen to these guys and realize the shear talent and prowess. I worship these men, if you like music, then you must like this band.
 
Even if LaBrie's range was only 2.75, it still means nothing. I said range AND tonal expression.



Oh dear, perhaps you need to look up what tone really is in musical terms, I won't erabarrass you.
