I once met this guy and he was like, "Oh, Dream Theater. Yeah, well, they play too many notes." And I'm thinking to myself, "You freaking idiot! That's what makes them so good!!!"
@PhilistineTheArtLuvr he probably doesn't know what progressive is about, also what makes them good is much more than playing a lot of notes, it's the eclectic fusion of more than one brilliant musician coming together to write the songs, along with many other things.
That's just me, I bet you're a fan of the Malmsteen's out there, but it doesn't cut it for me any more.
Everybody's entitled to their own opinion / preference, but if it's not defended intelligently, then it's different.
comment fore yournamehere23435: dream theater does not perform space dye vest live because kevin moore mainly wrote the song and they think it feels weird to play it without him
Damn, since the food poisoning, LaBrie hasn't been able to sing that high anymore. I guess that's why they don't play that many songs off "Awake" anymore.
Prepare to be astonished my friend - James LaBrie on his forum said they are gonna be doing alot off of Awake on this new tour = 15th Anniversary of Awake!!
It was recorded with his Ibanez prototype with Dimarzo pickups. (on awake album) parts of scenes from a memory was also recorded with that guitar before they switched to MMan.Later Gator.
is there anyone else who think that Awake was pretty scary and mystic and weird?? It´s problably the best album i´ve ever heard and I like how all the songs reminds of each other. If you don´t know witch anlbum a song is from, you can hears really clear if it´s from Awake. I also gotta give credit for the cool, odd mixing on Awake.
Yeah, I love the mixing on Awake. Even if Mike has said he "most of the time" liked it, like it was something you normally would think is bad!! I know that Kevin Moore hated the mixing, but he got nothing to say, coz he left before the mixing!
are u new to dreamtheater? It was my first album by them too but that was in 1996 i think lol maybe 95 i saw portnoy do a drum clinic at samash in white plains ny. new heard this stuff b4 and my god it blew my mind when i saw and heard this stuff for the first time. I grew up in middle school when alice n chains nirvana and green day were just coming out and this was so different. Changed my life forever, i would go with change of seasons next if u dont have it
Man, I sound like a horror writer... But, anyways, this song is absolutely awesome! (Seriously, the solo sounds almost like a spider... not literally, of course, but what else would come to mind from the pattern of the notes?) Heh heh heh... yeah, I love this song.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Basically, it captures the sense of hopelessness faced by someone trapped in a spider's web, only entangling him/herself further in the strands by trying to squirm free, unable to do anything but squirm helplessly in the sticky threads as the spider approaches, intent on ending its "visitor's" life...
Man, the solo does such an excellent job of evoking the image of a spider hungrily approaching someone trapped in its web, moving in to inject its poison and convert its victim's insides to soup... and then suck it all up...
The band itself is okay/good, but the album "Awake" is fantastic!!!

It's too bad LaBrie didn't hit that note in the chorus right at "Caught In a Web" and share the harmony with Portnoy. Oh well, still excellent.
