Biografia

Long Island, Nova Iorque, Estados Unidos (1985 – presente)

Dream Theater é uma banda de originária de Long Island, Nova Iorque, Estados Unidos e formada em 1985 por John Myung, Mike Portnoy e John Petrucci, enquanto frequentavam o curso de Música da Universidade de Berklee, em Boston, Massachusetts.

Antes de se chamar “Dream Theater”, eram conhecidos por “Majesty”. Este nome surgiu durante um concerto do Rush, em sua turnê do álbum “Power Windows”. John Petrucci, John Myung e Mike Portnoy dormiram na rua para comprar ingressos e assistir ao espetáculo, até que, ao ouvir a canção “Bastille Day” (do álbum Caress Of Steel), surgiu o comentário de que aquela música era ‘majestosa’, ficando assim o nome.

O trio foi em busca de mais membros para a banda. John Petrucci convidou o colega de escola Kevin Moore para o posto de tecladista do grupo. Em seguida, outro amigo de infância do guitarrista, Chris Collins, foi recrutado como vocalista, após os membros da banda ouvirem-no cantar um cover da música “Queen of the Reich”, do Queensrÿche.

Durante os primeiros meses de 1986, realizaram diversos concertos nas redondezas da cidade de Nova Iorque. Lançaram sua primeira demo com seis músicas, uma amostra de seu com referências da música clássica, que influenciou muitas bandas posteriormente. Trata-se do disco “The Majesty Demos”, cujas mil primeiras cópias foram vendidas em questão de seis meses, tornando a banda relativamente popular no cenário musical novaiorquino.

    I'd rather replace my penis for a vagina than agree to replacing Petrucci, lol. Dude, take back those blasphemous words

    Instead of shouting all over the place you should just read the official press release: Click me. But of course it's easier to complain, right?

    Why the fuck would a band make its 12th album self-titled? Bands should go with self-titled for their first album or not at all.

    Today I watched the "Score" DVD and LaBrie is just a terrible frontman. I can't help it. @dark_wisdom: There is no other band like DT - that's the problem. I'm listening to this band for 13 years now and I'm constantly looking out for similar acts but there nothing like it. @tomislav95: It would not be the end because LaBrie is not involved in the songwriting process. They could replace Portnoy, a founding member and one of the most prolific drummers of the past 20 years. DT made it so there's no doubt they could replace LaBrie as well. Everyone can be replaced - even Petrucci... this would be absurd though...

    "JLB is voice of DT, I can't imagine any other singer in his place" Exactly

    @PipBoy8000, I think that would be the end of DT. JLB is voice of DT, I can't imagine any other singer in his place.

    "New album is self-titled and coming out 24th September" why is this so embarrassing

    v You still have the choice of trying another band

    The whole Portnoy/Mangini debate is pointless because Mike P. left for a reason. I doubt his opinion will suddenly change. I just recently started to listen to DT again after months and I have to say: I want another singer. LaBrie annoys me, especially because he obviously reached his singing heights a decade ago. Nothing personal but I'd like to see/hear a new singer.

    I don't want MP to come back... but dammit the fact that he left still fucking hurts. </3

    Metropolis pt 1 has got to be one of the best songs ever.

    Mangini has done an excellent job filling in for Portnoy, but DT definitely lost a part of it's soul when Portnoy left. Sounds cliché I know, but you can't replace a founding member and expect it to be the same and I'm sure the rest of the band knew it (hence the name of the newest album). It's a shame, because MP was always active in the community and cared a lot for the fans, a real trooper. He did the right thing by leaving, though.

    v Because Portnoy was one of the founding members of dream theater, one of the main songwriters and an awesome drummer.
