Says the man with himself hanging out with Dream Theater in his sig... Wink

And I agree with all those points. I really have no problems with Train Of Thought as far as influences go, but for
some reason that album just came off as very samey to me. I jus' like a little more variety. Although I haven't
listened to much Metallica, so maybe I just don't know when they are trying to be Metallica.

(awesome picture by the way! So jealous...)

Yet, they covered the entire Master of Puppets album, live on many occasions.

Yes, they like Metallica, and they are an influence. But just because they covered an album of theirs doesn't mean that they are always trying to be Metallica whenever they do heavy stuff. Musically they don't have that many similarities with the band, other than that they're both metal...

My wording was a little poor. Yes, the band is influenced by Metallica, but that's not their only metal influence.

YES. YES REALLY!

i mean, Metallica is a F*CKING great band, but hey let's not get ourselves too cocky.
there are a lot of other influences that they could indeed use in their songs.


OR BETTER, THEY COULD DO A SOUND THAT'S UNIQUE? HOW ABOUT THAT?

I'm not a Metallica fan in the same way I am a Dream Theater fan so on some level it bugs me that whenever the DT guys seem to having trouble coming up with new ideas its lets just wake up the sandman and take him for a spin.   Confused
 
 
Clap I'm totaly agree, i prefer 1992-1999 period,  after this period they are almost boring to death to my ears.

Yeah.

Apart from that, getting a bassist might help.

 you Most be kidding! I know and I am very convinced the metallica were a huge to influence to Dream Theater but the had always  being better than Metallica by miles ways if. they would so much like metallica I wouldn't be such a big as  I am. I  really like one song here and their of  the Metallic boys, but to say they sound just like them and say that Dt are having problem coming out with new ideas is insane. Metallica is still making incredible albums. when in the world METAllica will even made a album as Octavirum and Scenes from a Memory or even Awake? When NEVER!!!Wink
 
 
How is Dream Theater better than METALLICA?  in Avery single way. Big%20smile

I would like them a whole lot more if James Labrie wasn't their singer. He's not a metal singer and never will be.

I'm sick of DT bashing threads. I'm going to use the clown or pig emoticon for every one from now on, because there is no other reason for them at all.
