1.They got a better vocalist.

2.They are better at making flawless timechanges.

3.Their guitarists have more melodic solos.

4.They sound more symphonic.

5.They have some of the best and most original sounding riffs in metal history. (Supposedly because of steve is composing on bass.)

6.They invented the best rhytmic sections in the world. (The gallopping thing.)maybe

7.The coolest bass sound on earth.

8.Better lyrics.

9.They dont make sentimental ballads.maybe

No Kansas did Circa Leftoverature 1976. and no I din't read your other post. One lame thread is enough this morning. Barracuda was published in 1977, that's a close shave!

It was Zeppelin who "invented" the groove with Achillies Last Stand.  But read the man's comments, really.

I agree - it reminds me of a Bon Jovi album cover...

I agree partly on these points.Though #1 refers as well to Metallica and some other Metal bands.#9 is correct but some diversity would not harm to IM's music (actually I like much of their stuff,as well Dickinson solo).#10 I agree as well partly, might be correct seen by a Heavy Metal fan, but for a ProgMetal fan DT is better live, at least when Mr. LaBrie has a good day!

Actually I don't get the point at all how someone can have the idea to create such a thread. To compare two bands that are obviously that much different from each other is absolutely ridiculous and is just proving that the person doing such a comparison has absolutely no idea about music.

IRON MAIDEN IS AN EXCELLENT HEAVY METAL BAND and

DREAM THEATER IS AN EXCELLENT PROG METAL BAND!

Got it, MaidenRulez?And please stop posting such stupid threads! (Or go to a pure Metal forum!)

Children Of Bodom aren't exactly the foremost address for innovative guitar work.

True, but they rock oh so much harder then Dream Theater ever can and will.

And Strapping Young Lad rock even harder than every other band I know, including Children Of Bodom. That doesn't change the fact that their guitarist is nothing special.

Cryptopsy are even harder rocking then Strapping Young Lad  And John Petrucci still produces dull guitar lines similar to a pinball machine after you obtain a highscore.

Go ask a musician whom you trust whether Petrucci plays dull guitar lines. Let me know what he said ...

John Petrucci is, at best, a good player. The thing is, as a 'technical' guitar player, he is probably the most overrated player ever! He isn't that good of a shredder, period. And this comes from a big DT fan who would defend him to death just a few months ago...

Besides, he stepped on his own tail and tried to pull out stuff that's way harder than what he can play! His performance on the new Dream Theater DVD is very dissapointing. He messed up on just about every 'shred' section on all of his songs! And his clean solos on Solitary Shell and Hollow Years... well, besides hitting the wrong notes a lot, his string action is so stupidly low that his clean tone is terrible! I could hear nothing but fret buzz... a shame. He's way too sloppy for what he tries to play.

I have to say he's a alright songwriter, though. But he should have taken a Valium a long time ago and not try to give Michael Angelo a run for his money, cuz it didn't work...
