2nd sentence does mean something-for one,it means you were wrong. It also means that if a band didnt like QR,why would they hire a singer from a QR tribute band? Geez,read interviews of DT! Search "John Petrucci" at answers(dot)com. What band did he name as an influence?-You guessed it-Queensryche. Surprize-You were wrong again! PS-do I really have to explain how the logos look similar for you too?..and you actually think I'M the idiot here~~riiight

2nd sentence: which again means nothing. 3rd sentence: iv never heard any reference to them as influences. dominici was fired becuase he had different ideas on where he wanted DT to go, and he wasnt fullfilling his role as a frontman very well. im not in denial at all. how are the logos similar?

guitarzan73 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Youre wrong. Their original singer Chris Collins was in a Queensryche tribute band. And they often mention Queensryche as an influence. Why was his replacement fired? As Portnoy said,(look it up if you want)"He sounded like Billy Joel singing for Queensryche". Its blatently obvious theyre influenced by them and well documented. Youre in deep denial if you think those logos look "apples and oranges" different.

divinityboy (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Queensryche is not mentioned by any member to be a major influence. their original singer was hired after he was heard singing a Q song. not in a cover band. i just looked up "Eyes of a Stranger", and he sounds nothing like james at all. lots of bands have made concept albums other than Q you, so you cant say they copied them.and the logo thing...your desperate to prove your point arnt you. they look nothing alike.

guitarzan73 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

-and the majority of that 25 years was spent imitating Queensryche!-Yet another unprog DT move(IE getting their original singer from a Queensryche tribute band and his subsequent replacements also imitating Geoff Tate)to make their rock concept albums just like Queensryche and use a logo that looks similar to QR's Operation Mindcrime logo. Wow-how "progressive" and "fresh"

i like dream theater but im not mad on the vocals.

maybe you havnt heard The Dance of Eternity, but there's something like 16 time sig changes in it. as with many other songs.they were paying tribute to their heroes and influences. if you seriously think that maybe 10h out of a 25 year career makes them not prog, then your not too smart

guitarzan73 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Prog music avoids common musical structures,familiarities and pushes musical boundaries ahead into a territory which seems unexplored. Doing a night of cover tunes(especially of extremely successful contemporary rock albums)is the exact opposite of what "progressive" is
