Long Island, New York (1985 – present)

Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band from Long Island, New York formed in 1985 under the name “Majesty” by John Myung, John Petrucci, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, which they all dropped out of to support the band. Although a number of lineup changes have occurred, the three original members remain today, along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess.

Dream Theater has become one of the most successful progressive metal bands since the height of the genre in the mid-1970s. Although the band has had a few successful hits (notably

Pull Me Under in the early 1990s, which received extensive MTV rotation), they have mostly stayed underground for their career, feeding off support from their fans.

Dream Theater’s (commonly abbreviated ‘DT’) two highest selling albums are the gold selling Images and Words (1992), although it reached only #61 on the Billboard 200 charts, and Awake (1994) which reached #32 on the Billboard 200. Recently Systematic Chaos entered US Billboard 200 at #19. Dream Theater has sold over two million albums in the U.S., and over 8 million albums and DVDs worldwide.

In January of 2005, the band obtained their first United States platinum disc (representing 100 000 DVDs sold) with Live At Budokan, recorded April 2004 in Tokyo, Japan.

A Rite Of Passage has a good theme. All songs are pretty dark and sad, but DT are not hardcore enough to sing about satan and demons.

My conclusion of the message of this song: Don't worry, be happy! :D

The lyrics in "A Nightmare To Remember" is so inspiring!! It tells of a person who's caught in a dangerous incident, sees the mysterious, faceless man who comforts that person. Afterwards, he/she floats away in a stream of beautiful agony, not knowing whether awake or asleep. The demons were provoked during the incident, but won nothing in the end and faded away!

The shoutbox is going in a 4chan way because there is a obvious lack of ZV and khorma around here.
