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...

        ------ About the song Blind Faith performed by Dream Theater

    "I always love a good dream theater song, and this is one of my favorite songs. I also like that it has a religious theme to it, I am catholic and it's nice to see I'm not the only one out there who believes in God"

    Did you even read the lyrics?


    DT f**king rock!!!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Panic Attack performed by Dream Theater

        ------ About the song The Spirit Carries On performed by Dream Theater

    Metropolis Pt2; Scenes from a memory, is a concept album., meaning it has a story. Metropolis Pt 1 is a song off Images and Words, the "part 1" in the name was a joke but fans kept asking for a squel so DT tried to write one, and ended up with a 20min song, which didn't fit on their next album. Later when they came back to it and tried again, they decided to make this "squel song" a full album. But the whole album has a story line, its like a theater play(they actually had actors perform at one gig in new york).

    But this story is about a guy who finds out he is a reincarnation, and in his earlier life he was a girl named Victoria, who got murdered, and he is trying to solve the mystery to his past... just read it on wikipedia.;)

    Awesome Album though. All the songs are great. DT FTW

        ------ About the song In The Name Of God performed by Dream Theater

    The song is speaking out against strict interpretation of religious dogma. It may not only apply to fanatics but also to anyone following a religious order. For any of you that says that religion teaches peace, I disagree... Obey or Burn. Do you know what kind of subconscious implications that has on a child? A child's mind is so gullible. You all refer to it as "saving" non-believers. Whenever one can categorize, there becomes minorities, and thus, dissent.

    There have been countless times when I have encountered individuals who condemn me because of my rejection of their beliefs. They are simply performing a task that they have learned from their almighty God. Obey or Burn.

    I am constantly told, I have no conscience. I can do whatever I desire because I have no conscience. Everything good comes from God, and everything negative in this universe happens to be an act of his counterpart. Once again, let us group.

    I laugh whenever I am condemned, because in truth... despite my sarcasm, and selfishness at times... I find that in many occasions it is I who acts more so for the benefits or feelings of another -a term that you all may refer to as "good", whenever the devoted follower does the opposite.

    I have nothing against religion. I do not dislike your thoughts, whatever your relationship may be with whatever it is that your imagination creates is simply between you and that object. I just don't like blind devotion, and I prefer it when these relationships are kept to oneself or private. Human selfishness takes advantage of you whenever they become privy to your sin.



    The introduction of this song is one of the most beatiful things ever composed. | Reviewer: prog4life
        ------ About the song Octavarium performed by Dream Theater

    What the fuck? I seriously can't understand how people call the intro of the song boring... Everytime I listen to it, I cry like a baby, of pure emotion. And when the guitar comes in with the flute, I get really intense chills down my spine and my eyes just become a waterfall. Damn, so many people out there without spiritual deepness. How sad...


    The fact | Reviewer: anonymous
        ------ About the song In The Name Of God performed by Dream Theater

    I didn't think islam teaching violence . What i know is Muhammad is the first of "100 most historical/influential people in the world" book by Michael Heart . He is christian . But why he placed Muhammad in the first ? Its because Muhammad teaching Islam to many people around the world peacefully ( without war ). And thats because islam teaching peace. So are protestan & catholics


    Peace | Reviewer: Peace lover
        ------ About the song In The Name Of God performed by Dream Theater

    I'm a muslims and i hope the lyrics doesn't against Islam .
    First of all, nice comment from "some nihilist" . You're right that all religions lead us to peace .
    Fuck daveyg & garurumon. You dunno anything about islam, so stop making stupid bullshit crap comment. Don't jump to conclusion you idiot asshole !.


    Best song ever | Reviewer: Sotos
        ------ About the song Panic Attack performed by Dream Theater

    DT's songs are great, but this one is my favorite. I love the fact that the song's rhythm changes many times at this track and i love the solo part. Also it gives a powerfull sense that always boosts my mood :D


    :) | Reviewer: Alex
        ------ About the song Eve performed by Dream Theater

    I really liked this version of the song! The studio version was still just as haunting, buy the audo sampling does add a fantastic dynamic to this beautiful piece.

    It felt so good to hear Kevin Moore once again!


    Victoria ? | Reviewer: Hendra
        ------ About the song The Spirit Carries On performed by Dream Theater

    This is an awesome song.
    By the way, who is victoria ? Is she john petrucci's wife ?

    Sorry, i'm not a big fan of DT . I don't know who is victoria.
    But i like DT. .They are very full skill and their music is great


    Thanks dummy! | Reviewer: Mark
        ------ About the song Solitary Shell performed by Dream Theater

    Really I don't get how someone can pin one subject on this song, I can pick out different meanings from just one line of the lyrics. You are being pretty bias if you think this song is not supposed to be cheerful. I don't even get the impression from hearing it, that it's about anything autistic. I'm not saying it isn't right, but I know that I have been able to picture myself as the person they are talking about, as well as other people I know, and none of us have ever been diagnosed with autism! Why isn't MissCam entitled to her opinion?


    well | Reviewer: wiss
        ------ About the song In The Name Of God performed by Dream Theater

    well i think that this song is a master-piece..its not about a specific religion only...it, in fact, talks about all religions with no exceptions. Well i think that all religions have their bad believers and their bad acts.Im a christian and i believe that not only a lot of muslims are extremists, but some christians are also.So this song illustrates what the world was and still living concerning all "religious acts" that are done "in the name of god", even the most extreme and worse ones. thank you


    Awesome | Reviewer: Samer
        ------ About the song Endless Sacrifice performed by Dream Theater

    Dream Theater has been my idol for over 3 years now and 'Endless Sacrifice' is just one of the epic songs made by them. Other epic songs include 'Forsaken'in their newest album 'Systematic Chaos' and 'Pull Me Under' in their album 'Images And Words'. So guys, if u want something outstanding like 'Endless Sacrifice' there u go :D
    John Petrucci is just one of the best guitarists evahhhh <3


    About Fanatic Zealots | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song In The Name Of God performed by Dream Theater

    While you people are having challenges seeing past the "it's about Islam" slant, think about Jim Jones and his suicide cult - 900 dead Kool Aid drinkers in Jonestown Guyana. Or the Branch Davidians, whose debacle ended in the death of 82 followers of David Koresh. And who, by the way, taught his idiot followers that they had to practice monogamy while he was allowed 60 wives and 80 concubines, including a 12 year old. Or the Heaven's Gate cult who killed themselves (39 of them) trying to get to the Alien Mothership. Need I go on?

    This song is about the bad side of religion that fanaticism causes. Taking a potentially positive thing way too far.


    pros and cons | Reviewer: Mr. Nobias
        ------ About the song Honor Thy Father performed by Dream Theater

    The intro is great, the lyrics match the music, and I absolutely love the groovy half-time riff throughout the song, but the slight time sig. changes (7/8) could have been avoided, and the song seems a bit too long for it's own good. It's good, but there's better songs in Train of Thought, like As I Am and Endless Sacrifice.


    Amazing song! | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song The Spirit Carries On performed by Dream Theater

    This song is absulutely amazing and it's a great ending for this perfect concept album "scense from a memory" and it's really optimistic after everything that is told on the tragic death of Victoria and it also help people like me who have lost their loved ones when they listen to this beautiful song...it makes me cry but in a good way (:


    amazing! | Reviewer: Karishma
        ------ About the song I Walk Beside You performed by Dream Theater

    this is such a great song! one of my favorites of all time.
    i hate the fact that most people my age have no clue who they are,
    their music is so strong, powerful,
    and have an actual meaning.

    i really want to see them live


    come on | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song In The Name Of God performed by Dream Theater

    well i think this song is directed towards jihad beliefs, when a self proclaimed messiah (maybe Bin Laden and what not) from underground religion turning towards mainstream. Justifying violence whilst citing from the Holy Book (Quran perhaps?). To my knowledge, the prophet Mohammed lived in period of war, so some of his teachings probably can be intrepreted as violent. So its a matter of interpretation by the people.


    Wow, just wow! | Reviewer: Joachim
        ------ About the song I Walk Beside You performed by Dream Theater

    Such a great song! Wow! The lyrics, the music, everything, it's just insane how good it is. Very powerful lyrics, delivered in a way that's just amazing. Very, very, very good song, no doubt one of the best, if not the best song I've ever heard from DT.


    good, awsome lyrics (thats why am here right?) | Reviewer: Robert
        ------ About the song The Root of All Evil performed by Dream Theater

    this song is about Mike portney's drinking obsession just like the three other songs he has writtin in co. with these songs, this is probably my favourite of the other three as much as glass prison is absolutely awesome there is just something about this song that makes it what is... the tone is just fabulous, especially in La brie's voice, they have used it throughout the whole octavarium album. I am currently writting a cover of this song, COMPLETELY different, its kinda blues and roots, cause thats what I mainly do, but all the lyrics are there. I am doing it for a friend of mine because he is an alcaholic :P.
