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.

That's why I said it would fit better in A Rite of Passage. It's too great to leave out, but doesn't make much sense then.

It's a little odd that Portnoy sings happy lyrics such as "by the grace of god above, everyone survived" and then screams "RAAAAWWWWRRR" Seems like his growl would've fit with the lyrics better towards the beginning of the song, with the car crash and everything.

I still think MP did a really good job in the "dark" part of ANTR, although I also still think the "RRROOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRR", as awesome and hilarious as it is, would work far better in A Rite of Passage.

Muse is popular, and still they are a great band, it's an example that popularity=/=quality (Or not having quality)

Tommy Wiseau should do the br00tal vocals instead of Mike Portnoy. Just listen to how angry he can sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLs-PkfUS2g
