I like the way Jennings sings on the track, because Its there' off The Mountain album.
When he sings deeply melodic like that I think it could work with DT, but for me LaBrie is still the man. Would be interesting to hear though.


The thing is that I actually find LaBrie rather Annoying. I undestand he has a very powerful voice and can reach insane notes, but he kind of lacks a personality to his voice (apart from being annoying). I like him much better when he sings subtle and calm. Jennings is much more pleasnt for me when he is throwing his lungs out.
Haken - The Mountain -     F-U-C-K my ol' boots ............ what a killer album......killer voice, killer instrumental chops.......


I take it you enjoyed 'The Mountain' ? Yeah. It's pretty cutting edge Prog metal.
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Steve Rothery-- rhythm guitar

Troy Donockley---Uliean pipes

A bit of a family of Steve's but This could work I think

Steve Harris bass Cool
not sure about Oldfield on just keys..


Well I know you would take Orford in a heart beat. ok. I will be realistic.
Gunter Werno. Keyboardist for Vanden Plas. He is brilliant. Listen to either Christ 0 or Seraphic Clockwork.
Amazing arrangements, but Richard I'm not sure actually how you really feel about Prog Metal in general.
I know you dig Maiden, so maybe Vanden Plas could work for you. ;)

I used to like Dream Theater but gradually got bored to the point where I only listen to Images and Words and Awake very occasionally.
Beyond that I like a bit of Threshold and also I'm just beginning to listen to Riverside (SONGS and Rapid Eye Movement) so my next Prog metal purchases will be Riverside most highly rated albums. Thanks for the recommendation though. I will check them out.


For sure my friend. Anytime. I will say the bands you listed here are quite good. Riverside's Secondlife syndrome and Anno Domini are quality albums while Threshold's Critical Mass is still my favourite output them.
I also must say I'm sorry that DT are boring you, but I think adding 6 degrees Of Inner Turbulence beside I&W's and Awake wouldn't hurt you at all. I really feel that 6 Degrees is actually one of thee strongest/most creative Prog metal albums ever assembled. If by chance you have not heard it I doubt that album would disappoint you.
And enjoy Vanden Plas!! Christ O was easily the best concept album of 2006. It's amazing.

I actually gave Six degrees 5 stars when I reviewed and was my favourite DT album for a long time. The second disc works best for me with Jordan Rudess taking control. I've seen DT play live but that was about 10 years ago. Think I've just moved on and they just don't float my boat anymore.


Well, at least their are 3 DT albums that sit well with you and you have something to appreciate and fall back on with in DT's discography. Also. Don't forget about Vanden Plas. Just listen to Christ 0 first and if you end up liking the album we can certainly talk more about them if you like. :)

Extreme metal lineup:

Chuck Shuldiner--Guitar
Joe Duplantier--Guitar + Vocals
Tomas Haake--Drums
Dominic 'Forest' Lapoint--Fretless bass

I'd say Chuck and Joe would both primarily be rhythm (Chuck as 'lead' rhythm) with Forest's fretless providing the only thing close to melody sometimes.

Here's an all-modern one:

Mattias Olsson - Drums

Daniel Gildenlow - Vocals and backing guitar (if needed)

Piotr Grudzinsky - Guitar

Mathew Kennedy - Bass

Neal Morse - Keys and backing vocals (if needed)

I could easily shuffle the respective groups each of these musicians are best associated with, plus or minus one, and come up with any range of epic combinations.
