Listened to it today for the first time. Great album. Fireworks is another album of theirs that i enjoy a lot.

i don't think anyone surpasses dt

if anyone were to come close it would probably be symphony x or dragonforce

i don't know if they're progressive, but sonata arctica as well

Dragonforce

hair = more extreme
guitar tricks = more extreme
lyrics = more extreme
guitar battle at 3:22 sec = more extreme

Unquestionable Presence by Atheist... Amazing musicianship.

I also prefer Symphony X to Dream Theater. Rudess may be better than Pinella (honestly, besides Derek Sherinian, very few come close to Rudess), but the rest of the band is as competent as any DT member.

Who do you feel are on a close, or on the same level as Dream Theater, as far as musical technicallity is concerned? (only Progressive metal bands please)

I would say Spiral Architect, Symphony X, and this band...

I've always found Symphony X to be a better, rythymically, version of DT, but with a symphony.

the 2 bands should trade guitarists for an album...

I have a friend who is a Holdsworth fanatic, he is definitely an excellent guitarist.

Actually I read that one run up his fretboard(I think it´s on the song Devil has the hind quarter, or something like that) is supposed to be the fastest ever.

Watch this video, it's cool/funny/impressive/over the top. But this was my answer.

then my answer is defnitely Gong. best drummer, best flute and sax-player, excellent guitarists (both Hillage and Holdsworth, though they are not my favorites when it comes to guitar) and excellent bass player too. and the tuned percussion of the Pierre Moerlen's Gong aera is unsurpassed
