1986 - 1990 Founding members John Myung, Mike Portnoy and John Petrucci in 1986Dream Theater was formed in 1986 by guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung and drummer Mike Portnoy while studying at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Kevin Moore, a high school band-mate of Petrucci's, was recruited to play keyboards and Chris Collins was enlisted as vocalist. The quintet settled on the name Majesty for their newly-formed group (a name inspired by Portnoy's description of the closing section of "Bastille Day" by Rush), and the three Berklee attendees dropped out to concentrate on the band. In November 1986, after a few months of writing and performing together, Chris Collins left the band because of creative differences with the other members. After a year of trying More... (Submit New Dream Theater Lyrics) (Submit New Dream Theater Lyrics) Review about Dream Theater guys guys | Reviewer: anonymous ------ About the song A Change Of Seasons performed by Dream Theater Apart from the two bands representing completely different music genres, i'd like to add that most of the members of DT are actually university professors teaching music (one of them being Petrucci)... This song is one of my favourites, although it annoys me that some riffs are not connected to each other especially in the third part... The guys are really focusing on the music of the song but they also write amazing lyrics! Dream Theater and X japan are different type of genres! | Reviewer: zool nasri ------ About the song A Change Of Seasons performed by Dream Theater I'm both the fan of this two bands alright? But don't you guys get it? Dream Theater got their own types of music so does X japan.. Seriously stop comparing both of these band.. But seriously I'm gonna say as a musician.. A change of seasons is way to perfect.. I'm not being one sided.. But it's the fact.. It's about their own style of music.. So please.. Stop arguing cause it won't take us anywhere but being a kid who don't have the thinking? I don't care if you all hate me or not.. But It's the fact you all should just learn from a musician.. and I'm a drummer myself.. Life story | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Count Of Tuscany performed by Dream Theater The entire BC&SL album was intended to be autobiographical. Looking for hidden meanings is much more difficult when a literal one is right under your nose. I don't care to look further into this song lyrically than a simple story from Petrucci's life. But the music is great, as always. T.G.P | Reviewer: Migo ------ About the song The Glass Prison performed by Dream Theater This is my second favourite song from DT (My Fav is The Great Debate from the same album). The Twelve-Step suit ends with the song Shattered Fortress form their last album Black Clouds & Silver Linings. Religion is pointless. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song In The Name Of God performed by Dream Theater Wow, I'm amazed at how much spite and anger religion can cause, even on a song review page. All religions are stupid, because they demand you to believe something that you can't see, smell, taste, touch or hear (if you claim to "hear" God, you're a fucking lunatic, go take some pills). They require you to throw away any sense of logic to promote THEIR cause. They always, always claim that there is something fundamentally wrong with humans, and what's the cure for it? Their religion! They're all the same, whether it is Christianity, Judaism, Voodoo or Islam, they are all mechanisms to brainwash and control. And what a wonderful mess they've made. Religion is the root of all evil. Don't try to deny it, you know it's true. It has caused more deaths and intellectual degradation than anything in the world, and for what gain? Nothing. All religion does is provide a sense of stability for people in need. And what happens when someone tries to rock that sense of stability, to change their mind, to open their eyes? I'm a sunworshiper. It grants me food, light, warmth and everything I need to survive. And best of all, I know it exists. It doesn't demand blind faith in it, it doesn't demand you to throw away all your intellect to promote its cause, and it doesn't start wars. Now, go throw away your bibles or whatever it is your religion is based on, and grasp the moment. Because we don't need eternal life, we don't need virgins in Paradise and we don't need saving. All we need, is warmth, food and water. We can make a better world if we throw away our superstitions and embrace the infinite possibilities. A world without a god. It is a better world. It is a world where humans take responsability for their acts. It is a world where you don't need to spend your life in fear of divine pursuit. Imagine being so afraid of death that you forget to live, only to realize that your life has been wasted on building up a stupid system that belongs in the middle ages. Man created God in his own image, to explain that which he couldn't explain, and control those he couldn't control. Now, it's time to step up and cast aside the myths and superstitions and start living, holy shit. have to enter something here | Reviewer: matt ------ About the song A Nightmare To Remember performed by Dream Theater LOVE this song and Dream Theater! favourite band for sure. love how this song tells a story from start to finish and always keeps you not wanting to press skip! some long songs are like that but this one is so epic you never want to press that button. can't wait to see them live in melbourne in december, hope they play this too! Double Bass Drumming Doesnt Make A Pro Drummer | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song A Change Of Seasons performed by Dream Theater Reading through here people are talking about a drummer being pro by how fast he can double kick. Get out of here. Double kick is easy, a true master creates timeless drum patterns throughout many time signatures. This is why Mike Portnoy is alot better than who ever the X Japan drummer is. At The Gates Of St Nicholas | Reviewer: Truth ------ About artist/band Dream Theater And as thee saints rode in from touring the world. A mighty noise woke the heavens. God had sent for the greatest ProgMetal band in history to come up to heaven. Portnoy was first and was carried by angels, each holding drum sticks and the strange bandana he alawys wears. The second was Myung, the angels holding giant bass strings and his giant bass. The third was Rudess, being lifted along with all his pianos and keyboards. The fourth was Petrucci, who was so powerful he flew into heaven as if he visted often! Four hours later LaBrie arrives, panting, "sorry guys" he exclaims, " I had to get the bus". And that is the thruth behind Dream Theater, there musicians are phenominal, but LaBrie sounds like a whiney girl most the time an no one really likes him. Not even Myung who doesn't really fit in or say much... That is in the name of Truth. About misconceptions | Reviewer: Fearful ------ About the song Solitary Shell performed by Dream Theater As I see, this song is about those people who are called 'hikikomori' in Japan (lit. 'acute social withdrawal'). It's totally about social disease, not personal. Dream Theater don't picture any display of autism, and they made the song definitely cheerful. I'd rather say 'promising', meantime, it's the only song I like from Six Degrees... Masterpiece! | Reviewer: Ana ------ About the song Honor Thy Father performed by Dream Theater I'm falling deeper and deeper in love with the band. They’re all such incredibly talented musicians! Dream Theater is today definitely my all time- favorite band, and Honor thy Father is a masterpiece. The atmosphere is as in all their songs, so easy to notice, and the balance between the guitar and the drums really define that heaviness and fury that this song is based on. Kudos to Mike Portnoy for great lyrics (can’t understand how he manages to write something as great as this song). And to John Petrucci for outstanding guitar skills, he’s a god. Michael | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song A Change Of Seasons performed by Dream Theater Hey, don't be dissing Art of Life. That song is fucking amazing. It took me more then one listen to realize that, same as it took me more then one listen for me to realize how good this song was. This song is beautiful, but IMO, Art of Life is my favorite out of the two, more because of all the emotion and soul not only put into writing it, but preforming it as well. Dream Theatre are masters of their respective instruments, but in some cases it is a weakness. This song is TOO perfect. NOW, I'M WORRIED. ONLY 2 COMMENTS?!?!?!?!? | Reviewer: Majesty's ministry ------ About the song The Ministry Of Lost Souls performed by Dream Theater OK, this song is one of DT's best, not only because its AWESOME solo (at the end), but also because it came out of DT. It's DT, but like Repentance, it's softer, more emotional, not just flashy solos. And it's gotten only 2 comments?!?! This is 999999999999999 times than "Pull Me Under", come on!!! DT's best achievement! About the only thing bad about this song is that it's not cathcy. It deserves 11/10. This song is worth the price of the WHOLE album!!! fatal tragedy | Reviewer: aa.royansyah ------ About the song Fatal Tragedy performed by Dream Theater rytm my walked when I goes proposal order on metropolitan capitol city, spirit mood my thing psyc, get discoveries..the big thank for maker illustration music situation feel.dt squad..mp,jp,jm,jr,jl I love them and hight music ok..sdkllahuladziim WOW! | Reviewer: Maijeistry ------ About the song The Ministry Of Lost Souls performed by Dream Theater TOTALLY AWESOME! it surprises me that only 1 comment has been published so far. The ending solo is really an ORGASM (if jordan rudess played it, he would totally _ _ _ haha). Truly dramatic and with tons of meanining poured in. X JAPAN | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song A Change Of Seasons performed by Dream Theater Art of Life flows much better than DT's songs that are around the same time limit. Fuck all of you bastards who bad mouth X Japan. You're some of the worst racial bigots on Earth. DT's music is a bunch of crazyness thrown together and called a song, it frustrates me to fucking hell how epic people think they are. X Japan are leaps and bounds ahead of these guys on the epic scale, I'm sorry. Ignore, X's pre-90's stuff, yea it's thrashy, but fucking DT will NEVER make songs as good as Art of Life or Rose of Pain, never. Yoshiki is the type of guy born once every 200 years or so. true | Reviewer: eva, CZ ------ About the song The Great Debate performed by Dream Theater I absolutely agree with you. what I like in DT songs, they are coming up with issues that are not common in bands with non-pop sound. but I think with DT sound the lyrics are therefore the more vibrant. anyway, does anyway know a link where would I find the spoken text from the beginning and the end of Great Debate? Honor Thy Father | Reviewer: Dreamist ------ About the song Honor Thy Father performed by Dream Theater I agree with you! It took me a while to like this song, at first it was my least favorite song from the album (Train Of Thought) but now it is definately one of my favorites, it has such an huge energy inside and the drums with the guitar works awsome together and the lyrics are so strong. Great song ~ cool down people | Reviewer: Mostafa Galal El Din ------ About the song In The Name Of God performed by Dream Theater Great song, I love the chorus and the ending especially =D ...and BTW, I'm a Muslim, and I don't find this insulting to me or my religion in any way. It is merely just giving a thought when they say the part about the plural wives. As long as they don't insult Islam, there's no problem. Oh, and if this song annoyed you, then you shouldn't be listening to DT from the beginning because Rudess is a Jew (and I have nothing against them or Rudess); and DT went to Israel before to do concerts. Dream Theater FTW! Honor my Father I shall | Reviewer: FrustRatioN ------ About the song Honor Thy Father performed by Dream Theater I like this song for being such an agressive exception in Dream Theater's production. I'm not into aggressive metal but this works so well. I love the drum lines in this song and this always makes me smile because of the energy inside it. I agree, LaBrie is not very good in live performances but in studio he's a great vocalist in a great band. Don't Panic, hitchhikers! | Reviewer: FrustRatioN ------ About the song Panic Attack performed by Dream Theater A simply amazing song. I like the rhythm changes in it. I love DT for the energy in these songs and their technical superiority over almost all other bands and the lyrics! Ah, the lyrics! Panic Attack alone can make my day however bad I feel, it is such an energizing song, it makes me aware and willing to run for my life, it gives me loads of energy. DT is one of the things that help me stay awake from day to day at school even though I find school very interesting. (I think PA could fit an IL-2 machinima about Finnish Air Force in 1944 fighting the everlasting Soviet forces with 50 times the amount of fighters and bombers available. I'd call the movie Panic Attack!)
