Dream Theater - Interview - part 1

[@vinnykster]

I'm totally in agreement with their attitude about songwriting/influences. Cool stuff !!

[@KainXiorcal]

Basically, the way music should be: not confined to a genre.

[@Pectiniculus]

I'd never seen one of these interviews, but what they say is so obvious once you've heard their music... Don't you ever forget it: Mike said Jordan is influenced by Gentle Giant and ELP. So they're prog rock + heavy metal + commercial eclecticism, which explains their success.

[@sheldonfernandes]

They dont leave him out. John Myung just doesnt want the attention

[@Pectiniculus]

but in the end it seems tnat Jordan is the heaviest weight there because the band is more Prog Rock than any other style. all right, they don't follow just one tradition but they still play elec guitars, elec basses, elec keyboards and drums so they do have their limits.

[@cmhonsu33]

i love the mix of prog and metal

[@BogdanVachenko]

Poor Myung, didn't even get mentioned. But I can't blame Portnoy, I only found out dream theater had a bassist like an hour ago lol (jk)

[@faceurhell]

LOL, Mike Portnoy kinda looks like Tony Iommi in this interview! XD

[@Deelystaniel]

Myung is Korean

[@sebastal]

LaBrie is a great singer...and i personally feel he has a very suitable voice for DT because of his style that combines the incredible range of Bruce Dickinson (well not as well as Bruce but pretty fuckin' close) and that cool Dave Mustaine nasal vocalizeing...and offcourse that gives him a unique vocal personality...and never forget he's is a GREAT SINGER

[@immortalsoloist]

I think its not them its John Maying who probably mentiones them not to mention a lot about him he has always kept a low profile.

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

[@ferwiz]

[@xmEeLx]

[@heavybass4ever]

Bassist is bassist

[@sebastal]

weird that he didnt mention John M.

[@eckir]

labrie listens to maroon 5? aaaaah that explains alot

[@jmrocker]

I realize that, and I normally don't say that bands suck, because just since I don't like someone doesn't mean they suck. However, I was told I was stupid for not liking the Beatles, so I went ahead and flamed them. :)

[@ezraholmes01]

@faceurhell Him and Petrucci change looks all the time. :P

[@666Meshuggah]

@xmEeLx He loves Tool

[@ViciousZeroEnder]
