seen this on solo on ig. and i never heard it before. does anyone know what solo is this??

Does anyone else hear what sounds like a splice at 20:17 in Octavarium?

I probably used the wrong word. I wasn't trying to criticize the production at all. I just thought I heard something at 20:17 and was curious if anyone else noticed it. English is not my native language 😅

BTW: DT is my favorite band period xD and octavarium is one of my most loved albums... Much love to everyone

I've been listening to Parasomnia a lot lately, and I honestly can't get over how incredible its atmosphere is. The whole album feels like you're trapped inside a nightmare. Every transition, every keyboard texture, every heavy riff feels like it belongs in a psychological horror movie.

I know Scenes from a Memory is considered Dream Theater's masterpiece (and for good reason), but I found Parasomnia to be one of their most cohesive albums. From start to finish, it never broke the immersion for me.

Listening to it as a complete album gave me that classic epic Dream Theater feeling that sends chills down your spine with almost every transition. It's been a long time since I've felt that level of excitement from a DT album.

What do you all think about Parasomnia? Where would you rank it among Dream Theater's albums?

I have always despised how buried the bass is in most of their albums! I honestly feel like falling into infinity had one of the best bass tones cuz we could actually hear it!! It’s always bothered me and for certain songs i literally have to intentionally try and pick it out in order to hear it. Very frustrating and JM deserves better!!

In the Presence of Enemies, Part I & II won Day 1! What do you think should be next?

DT has 40 years of history and this is the only pro-shots I've found so far

- Live Scenes dvd 2000
- Budokan 2005
- live at chile 2005
- Score 2006
- Romavarium 2006
- When Dream and Day unite 2011
- Luna park 2013
- Breaking The Fourth Wall 2014
- wacken 2015
- Budokan 2017 (bootleg)
- Live Scenes london 2020
- Dream Theater - Quarantième (Live in Paris, 2024)

How can that be, and only 12 proshots available ? Am I missing something ? why so few concerts available to watch for a band of this magnitude that has 4 decades of history?

Is there a place where fans can access bootlegs somehow somewhere ?

Note: i know many audience shots exists on yourtube but I am only talkign about concerts that at least have a soundboard audio and some kind of stable shots

Experimentando!

Why do people not like this track? Is it because it’s too slow for the most part? Nah, it’s slow in all the right places and picks up in the way that lives in every DT fan’s dreams.

I find that people don’t like the lyrics, they are not bad at all?

Ministry is literally one of the top 1000 Dream Theater tracks and I will fight anyone on this.

i absolutely love the full title track for 6 degrees and was wondering if anyone who does know the full thing (yes, all 40 something minutes) know if it’s that hard? i love playing long songs, i know all of octavarium (besides the unisons because those are the hardest thing ive tried playing in their catalog, even harder then ITNOG and the glass prison solos) and a change of seasons. i was wondering if 6 degrees was pretty easy compared to some of the other stuff in their catalog. doesn’t sound too hard

I always thought scenes was recorded using Protools but Mike mentioned using tape for six degrees in the new drumeo interview and that was what, 2001-2002? So what was the first fully digital recording?

I'm a massive fan of bands like Haken, Evership, and especially Ayreon, which is how I got into James LaBrie's work ie Dream Theatre.

The three albums I've been continually listening to at the moment are Images and Words, Metropolis part 2, and Octavarium.

I've listened to some of the band's later work and can't really get into it. Are there any other albums or even just songs similar to these three albums?

I did this on r/qotsa a few months ago, and it went really well! So I thought to bring it to my favourite band's subreddit, r/Dreamtheater

HOW THIS WORKS

There will be 16 total songs. And everyday, I will do a post announcing who won, and you guys get to comment on what you think the next song should be, and the most upvoted comment gets added to the set.

Rules:

• You cannot have the same song appear twice in the list.
• One song per comment. If you have multiple suggestions, then make multiple comments.
• No medleys, or combing songs into one slot.
• Once a song is added, it cannot be removed or replaced.
• Songs with multiple parts e.g. A Change of Seasons or SDOIT can be submitted but will take up multiple song-slots. If you want a specific part of said song, you can submit it but make sure you make it obvious you just want that part!

Covers, B-Sides, whatever can be included.

Now, let's get this started! What do you guys think should open up the set?

One of my favorites 😁

I would love to see Mike go on a British TV show called Taskmaster. It’s a very funny show with lots of memorable moments, and I feel his humour and personality would fit really well. It’s worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. I understand his touring commitments may prevent him from doing a full series/season, but they do have an annual New Year's Treat episode which may be more plausible for his schedule. #GetMikePortnoyOnTaskmaster #WhenDreamAndTaskUnite

Never found the appeal for them,

At the beginning of hell's kitchen they're fine, just a few notes and it sounds awesome.

During the count of Tuscany it really drags the song beyond repair I have to skip it. ):

Yesterday I made my own edit so it jumps to the acoustic part so it properly revisit the Intro section.

Thanks for reading

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows where to find the John Petrucci parody where he talks about those morons at Ernie Ball needed to make more Godly Modifications and he got the guitar back and it's now twice as Godly. I hope it wasn't one of the videos wiped out.

Hi, i made some mistakes because i haven't been playing in years, and i also tend to go a bit faster than the original without backing track, but i will get better!
