Headbangers Interview With JP & MP

2008-05-21T00:05:00.002+07:00

Headbangers Interview With JP & MP

Seeing that we’re about to post two more days of interviews with Dream Theater, you might ask why we’re paying so much attention to this year’s Progressive Nation tour? It’s a valid question.

There are lots of cool package tours launching this spring and summer, and while we’ve devoted plenty of coverage to Gigantour, and we’ll be giving Masters of Metal and the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival some major play as well, the Progressive Nation is clearly a class act.

Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy has assembled a package that represents all corners of the progressive metal spectrum, and while Dream Theater are headlining the event, it’s hardly one of those show-up-at-the-end-of-the-night propositions. Openers Between the Buried and Me, 3 and, especially, Opeth are representing themselves in fine fashion and by the time Dream Theater are a few songs into the set, a serious case of headspins kicks in — even if you’re stone-cold sober.

So, to keep the Progressive Nation fever burning, Headbangers Ball Blog presents two days of interviews with Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy and guitarist John Petrucci about the origins of the festival, the bands on the bill, Dream Theater’s upcoming DVD their longevity as the band and much, more more. Click “more” to watch the first of two days of interviews:

Terry Bozzio....

2008-05-14T20:59:00.002+07:00

Terry Bozzio...Frank Zappa, Magna Carta

Terry Bozzio first got his start as the drummer for Frank Zappa's backing band during the '70s, but would go on to become one of rock's most versatile session men, and form one of new wave's most visually exciting outfits, Missing Persons, along with then-wife, Dale Bozzio.

Born Terry John Bozzio on December 27, 1950 in San Francisco, California, Bozzio began playing on makeshift drums at an early age, before taking formal lessons at the age of 13 (inspired by the Beatles' infamous appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show). After playing in various local garage bands during the mid-late '60s, Bozzio majored in music while attending Sir Francis Drake High School and College of Marin - as he studied timpani and various forms of percussion.

By the early '70s, Bozzio had landed gigs with such rock musicals as Godspell and Walking in my Time, in addition to playing in several jazz/fusion outfits and appearing on his first record - backing trumpeter Luis Gasca on his 1972 release, Born to Love You. 1975 saw Bozzio catch his big career break, when he auditioned for and got a spot drumming for Frank Zappa. Bozzio's tenure with Zappa lasted only three years, but the drummer was featured on ten albums and countless tours (Bozzio also appeared in the Zappa concert movie, Baby Snakes). Bozzio also served as the inspiration for several Zappa compositions during their time together, including "the Black Page" and "Punky's Whips." After leaving Zappa in 1978, Bozzio nearly landed spots with a pair of potentially interesting outfits - a jazz supergroup called Group 87 (consisting of bassist Patrick O'Hearn and keyboardist Mark Isham, among others) and already-established hard rockers Thin Lizzy. Unfortunately, both wound up not working out for Bozzio (although he would play on Group 87's self-titled debut recording a couple of years later).

But Bozzio didn't have to wait long to join his next project, as he got the thumbs up to join prog rockers UK in 1979. The same year, he played on a pair of UK albums, (Danger Money and Night After Night), plus their subsequent supporting tours. Up next for Bozzio was a new wave project with his wife Dale Bozzio and former Frank Zappa guitarist Warren Cuccurullo, called Missing Persons. The group's space age sound and look turned heads right off the bat, as they enjoyed a pair of hit singles/videos ("Words" and "Destination Unknown"), as well as a gold certified debut album, 1982's Spring Session M. But the band (and Bozzio's marriage) didn't last much longer, as Missing Persons issued only two more albums before splitting up - 1984's Rhyme and Reason and 1986's Color in Your Life. Subsequently, Bozzio has focused primarily on either recording or touring with a wide variety of acclaimed artists, including Robbie Robertson, Gary Wright, Don Dokken, Paul Hyde, Herbie Hancock, Dweezil Zappa, Richard Marx, Jeff Beck, Duran Duran, Explorer's Club, Billy Sheehan, Steve Vai, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, among others.

Masters Place 2004

Bozzio also began performing clinics for fellow drummers across the country, in addition to issuing an instructional home video in 1992, Solo Drums. The late '90s saw the drummer issue albums as part of the all-star trio Bozzio Levins Stevens (Black Light Syndrome and Situation Dangerous), plus collaborative albums with Chad Wackerman (Solos & Duets Vol. I & II), and solo releases (Drawing the Circle, Chamberworks, Solo Drum Music Vol. I & II). 2001 saw Terry rejoin Missing Persons for a series of reunion concerts.

Keith Moon...THE WHO......

2008-05-14T20:58:00.001+07:00

Keith Moon...THE WHO......

Keith Moon was best known as a member of the Who, but he was far more than that, even within the context of his role within the group. Moon, with his manic, lunatic side, and his life of excessive drinking, partying, and other indulgences, probably represented the youthful, zany side of rock & roll, as well as its self-destructive side, better than anyone else on the planet. In that sense, he was the soul of the Who, as much as Pete Townshend was its brain and Roger Daltrey was its heart; and, along with John Entwistle, Moon was at the core of its sound, and not just for his drumming per se. He played the skins with the kind of wild abandon that most trained musicians before him, not knowing any better, would have described as lunatic, in the worst sense of the word, and he lived his life with just about that same degree of intensity (even once running himself over with his own car). But more than the drumming itself, it was the lunacy that he brought to the personality mix of the four members that kept their music and their playing, not to mention their image, on the cutting edge of youth, even as they all moved into their thirties and tried to get more serious about music.

Moon's musical importance was similar to that of Brian Jones in the Rolling Stones. In much the same way that Jones, through his talent (and his abuse of it) helped lift the Stones above the level of every other blues-based band going, and made their image distinct, Moon did the same thing for the Who. When Jones left the Stones, to die just a few weeks later, they became more professional musically; they settled down with a true and admirable virtuoso in the guise of Mick Taylor, and their sound tightened up, but the youthful edge, the teenage lust was gone, not only from their sound but from their playing. When Keith Moon died, the Who carried on and were far more competent and reliable musically, but that wasn't what sold rock records.

Moon occasionally played on other peoples' records, but he only finished and released one solo album of his own, Two Sides of the Moon (though another may have been planned in 1975). Not taken seriously at the time, this record now appears to have captured the essence of Moon's nature. Recorded in a series of marathon sessions that were as notable for their huge bills for alcohol as the studio time involved, it is a strange, haunting mix of innocent '50s/early-'60s rock & roll and leering, joyful lust, and a savage sense of wit directed at the music business and played out both between and in the songs themselves.

Neil Peart...RUSH

2008-05-14T20:48:00.002+07:00

Neil Peart...RUSH

Neil Peart is the most popular drummer today. When it comes to voting in Modern Drummer or Drummerworld - Neil Peart is always the No. 1.

Neil Peart (pronounced "Peert" not "Pert"), born September 12, 1952, near Hagersville, Ontario, is the drummer and lyricist for the Canadian rock band Rush. Rush is the most successful band from Canada, having played together for over 30 years, and selling over 24.5 million records (U.S.). Over the years, Rush has developed their own style of Progressive Rock, weaving together heavy metal, art rock, reggae, new wave, pop, grunge, and classical styles with thoughtful lyrics. The result has been 23 diverse albums, successful tours, and a loyal fan base.

Peart is known for his creative and intricate drum parts and extensive drum solos that delight both drummers and non-drummers alike. He's won many reader's poll awards from Modern Drummer, including 12 consecutive "best recorded performance" awards. In 1996, Peart became an Officer of The Order of Canada, the highest civilian decoration in Canada.

In 1997, following the death of his only daughter, Selena, and then his wife of 22 years Jackie Taylor (1998), Peart and Rush took a five-year hiatus. After he re-married in September 2000, Neil returned to Rush, and the band produced the critically-acclaimed Vapor Trails CD and subsequent tour, taking them to Mexico and South America for the first time. The final show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, became the multi-platinum DVD Rush in Rio. Rush toured again in 2004 as part of their 30th Anniversary celebration, and released a CD of Sixties cover songs, Feedback, to mark the occasion. After the tour, they released Rush - R30 - 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, a live concert from Frankfurt Germany.

On May 1, 2007, Rush released their twenty-third album Snakes & Arrows.

In addition to his job as a musician, Peart has written four non-fiction books, The Masked Rider, Ghost Rider, Traveling Music: The Soundtrack to My Life and Times, and Roadshow : Landscape With Drums: A Concert Tour by Motorcycle. Ghost Rider was nominated for a Canadian Literary award in 2003. He has also written many articles for Modern Drummer and other magazines. In all, his books have sold over 100,000 copies.

In his spare time, Peart rides BMW motorcycles, drives fast cars, snowshoes, bird watches, and hikes. His favorite drink after a concert or a long day on the road is The Macallan.

Peart currently lives in Santa Barbara, California, with his wife, Carrie Nuttall.

Peart's nicknames are "Pratt" and "The Professor."

Essential Rush recordings include: Fly by Night (1974), 2112 (1976), Permanent Waves (1980), Moving Pictures (1981), Exit... Stage Left (1982), Grace Under Pressure (1984), Power Windows (1985), Roll the Bones (1991), Counterparts (1993), and Vapor Trails (2002).

Anatomy of a Drum Solo

'Anatomy of a Drum Solo' presents newly-recorded, in-studio footage of legendary RUSH drummer Neil Peart discussing, in detail, his approach to soloing. Using a solo recorded in September, 2004 in Frankfurt, Germany as a framework, Neil talks about each segment of this nine-minute tour de force which is a feature of each Rush performance. He describes the inspiration and the conceptual thinking behind each part of the solo and discusses, and often demonstrates, the technique necessary for playing that segment.

'Anatomy of a Drum Solo' also features:
Two explorations - completely improvised workouts at the drums, each over thirty-minutes long
A never-before-released solo recorded in Hamburg, Germany in September, 2004
"O Baterista," Neil's Grammy® Award-nominated solo

THE NEW HTC SHIFT ( VISTA THE PALM OF YOUR HAND):

HTC Shift, perangkat komputasi HTC Corp generasi terakhir berbasis Windows Vista siap diluncurkan di Inggris menjelang akhir bulan ini. Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) ini rencananya akan didistribusikan via agen retail European Expansys pada 19 Februari mendatang.

Shift dibandrol dengan kisaran harga sekitar 1.185 euro atau USD1.720. Beberapa kalangan menilai harga ini terlampau tinggi, bahkan apabila mau dihitung, harganya mencapai empat kali lipat harga notebook Asus Eee. Namun, untuk sebuah mobile device yang disupport teknologi 3G built-in tercanggih, harga ini masih terbilang pantas untuk UMPC yang diluncurkan November tahun lalu ini.

HTC Shift, yang beberapa hari lalu baru saja resmi diluncurkan di Senayan Trade Center Jakarta, mempunyai onboard tri-band UMTS/HSDPA dan quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE untuk mensupport konektivitas data dengan super cepat hingga 3,6MB per detik.

Dengan layar sentuh berukuran 7inci slide-and-tilt, HTC Shift memperlihatkan ekslusivitasnya. Dia juga dilengkapi dengan keyboard QWERTY yang tersembunyi, OS Windows Vista Business Edition, memori DDR 2 sebesar 1GB, dan hard drive 30GB, untuk membuat UMPC ini terlihat lebih sempurna dibanding UMPC lain segenerasinya

10 TIPS MEMBELI PDA (PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANT)

2008-05-11T22:56:00.004+07:00

10 TIPS MEMBELI PDA (PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANT)

Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) belakangan kerap menjadi gadget pilihan di kalangan pebisnis atau orang yang mobilitasnya tinggi. Selain bisa digunakan sebagai ponsel, perangkat ini juga bisa berfungsi sebagai notebook untuk menyimpan agenda kegiatan misalnya, atau aplikasi perkantoran.

Namun ada beberapa hal yang harus dipertimbangkan sebelum Anda membeli PDA:

1. Service Network
Salah satu pertimbangan pertama sebelum membeli PDA adalah service network, apakah beroperasi di jaringan GSM, CDMA, EDGE, dan sebagainya. Pastikan bahwa perangkat tersebut kompatibel dengan infrastruktur jaringan yang tersedia. Terlebih bagi Anda yang sering bepergian ke luar negeri, pastikan gadget tersebut kompatibel dengan network service dimana Anda berada.

2. Kualitas Panggilan
Manufaktur ponsel dan PDA kerap menyuguhkan banyak fitur pada produk mereka, mulai dari MP3 player hingga streaming video dan game. Namun seringkali kualitas suara kurang diperhatikan, padahal ini adalah salah satu fungsi penting utamanya bagi yang memiliki mobilitas tinggi. Sebelum membeli PDA, sebaiknya cek terlebih dulu kualitas panggilan model handset yang Anda incar itu.

3. Umur Baterai
Umur baterai juga harus dijadikan pertimbangan saat akan membeli PDA/ponsel. Berapa lama waktu standby perangkat tersebut, apalagi jika Bluetooth diaktifkan.

4. Bandwidth
Tidak semua jaringan menawarkan transmisi data yang maksimal. Jika Anda termasuk sering men-download file berukuran besar via ponsel, pastikan ponsel yang Anda beli kompatibel dengan jaringan data yang lebih cepat.

5. Kompabilitas
Pastikan PDA Anda bisa disinkronisasi dengan mudah dengan platform dan aplikasi lain.

6. Bluetooth
Perlu diketahui, fitur nirkabel seperti Bluetooth bergantung pada daya tahan baterai. Bagi Anda yang sering bepergian, mungkin Anda akan sering mengaktifkan Bluetooth agar bisa terkoneksi secara nirkabel ke laptop atau internet. Untuk itu, pastikan perangkat Anda memiliki konektivitas Bluetooth yang baik dan juga umur baterai yang cukup lama.

7. Kenyamanan
Jangan hanya tergiur dengan desain ponsel yang revolusioner. Pertimbangkan juga apakah Anda nyaman menggunakannya. Misal, ada orang yang suka dengan ponsel jenis sliding untuk menampilkan keypad-nya, namun ada yang merasa tidak nyaman dengan kondisi seperti itu. Bahkan ada yang lebih suka dengan keyboard sistem layar sentuh.

8. Mudah Di-upgrade
Memory yang terbatas seringkali menjadi masalah jika Anda ingin menambahkan aplikasi perkantoran ke PDA Anda. Pastikan PDA/ponsel yang Anda beli mudah di-upgrade dan jenis memory-nya cocok dengan perangkat tersebut, seperti mini SD, MultiMediaCard, dan SD card.

9. Aplikasi Perkantoran
Beberapa PDA ada yang loading-nya lama saat membuka aplikasi perkantoran seperti Microsoft Office. Tak semua ponsel bisa menampilkan atau mengedit dokumen Word dan Excel, bahkan ada yang tidak bisa mengakses aplikasi presentasi PowerPoint. Untuk itu pastikan PDA yang akan Anda beli kompatibel dengan kebutuhan pekerjaan Anda.

10.Voice Dialing and Recognition
Beberapa ponsel ada yang menawarkan fungsi voice recognition dan voice dialing untuk memudahkan pengguna ponsel mengakses informasi yang dibutuhkan seperti memanggil daftar kontak dengan suara, navigasi menu dan sebagainya. Ini bisa menjadi salah satu pertimbangan saat membeli PDA/ponsel, apakah Anda menginginkan fitur tersebut?

Kisah Di Balik Baju Batik Bill Gates

2008-05-11T22:45:00.007+07:00

Kisah Di Balik Baju Batik Bill Gates

Jakarta - Dengan rambut agak acak-acakan, bos Microsoft Bill Gates tetap menawan mengenakan baju batik warna keemasan di acara Presidential Lecture. Tidak ada rencana sebelumnya Bill Gates akan mengenakan batik. Hal ini terjadi secara mendadak. Bagaimana kisahnya?

Bill Gates menjadi pusat perhatian banyak orang ketika memberi kuliah umum di hall Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), Jakarta, Jumat (9/5/2008). Bill Gates membawakan presentasi mengenai 'Second Digital Decade'.

Bisa jadi acara ini diikuti oleh jutaan orang. Sebab, selain ribuan orang yang memadati JCC, jutaan orang bisa menyaksikannya lewat televisi. Sejumlah media elektronik pun berlomba-lomba memberitakan Bill Gates. Tepukan tangan berkali-kali dalam acara yang juga dihadiri Presiden SBY itu.

Di luar isi presentasi yang serius-serius, ada hal menarik yang membuat orang terpesona melihat Bill Gates: baju batik yang dikenakannya. Gara-gara baju batik Bill Gates ini, Presiden SBY pun mengganti kostumnya, dari jas lengkap berdasi, menjadi baju batik lengan panjang warna ungu-merah-keemasan.

Wajar bila Presiden SBY juga ikut ganti baju. Sebab, berdasarkan penelusuran detikcom, dalam acara ini, seharusnya Bill Gates memang mengenakan pakaian resmi: jas dan berdasi. Tapi, perubahan begitu cepat terjadi.

Ternyata ada tawaran lain yang membuat Bill Gates tertarik mengubah kostumnya dan memilih mengenakan baju batik. Adalah Rachmat Gobel, bos Panasonic, yang mempunyai inisiatif menawarkan baju batik kepada Bill Gates. Selain produk asli Indonesia, baju batik juga sudah dikenal sebagai baju yang pro lingkungan.

Karena Bill Gates menerima tawaran itu, Rachmat pun menghubungi desainer batik kondang, Iwan Tirta. Tanpa basa-basi, Iwan Tirta yang sudah kesohor itu pun memilihkan baju batik untuk Bill Gates. Baju batik warna keemasan dengan motif 'pisang bali manggar' dirasa sangat cocok untuk Gates. Motif ini merupakan motif yang sering dipakai oleh para anggota kerajaan Mangkunegaran Solo.

Oleh Iwan Tirta, baju batik itu lantas diberikan kepada Rachmat Gobel untuk selanjutnya diserahkan kepada Bill Gates. Dan ternyata, Bill Gates benar-benar mengenakannya. Bill Gates pun semakin memesona banyak orang. Padahal, banyak pejabat dan politisi yang hadir mengenakan pakaian jas.

Progressive Nation 2008

2008-05-11T22:09:00.004+07:00

Progressive Nation 2008

New York progressive metal pioneers DREAM THEATER are set to unveil their maiden voyage of "PROGRESSIVE NATION". A package tour they will headline that will also feature the talents of OPETH, 3 and BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME.

The tour is the brainchild of DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy who explains: "I've been wanting to assemble a package tour like this for many years now. With all of the festivals and package tours that go through America, I've been talking with our manager and agent for over 10 years now about doing something that focuses on the more progressive, musician-oriented side of hard rock and metal. I decided it was time to stop talking the talk, lace up and finally walk the walk" While DREAM THEATER co-headlined 2005's GIGANTOUR along side MEGADETH, as well as embarking on previous co-headlining runs with both QUEENSRYCHE and JOE SATRIANI, they have primarily built their 22 year career on the road playing solely to their own audience. Portnoy comments: "I've always prided myself on personally hand picking new and exciting opening acts for DREAM THEATER in the past. Bands such as PORCUPINE TREE, SYMPHONY X, SPOCK'S BEARD, FATES WARNING, PAIN OF SALVATION and KING'S X. In all of these cases, it was important for me to pick bands that I admire and respect but also ones that I know our fans will enjoy. And I think playing with DT has helped expand all of those band's fanbases as a direct result. I am hoping PROGRESSIVE NATION will continue to do the same thing in offering an audience for more daring and experimental acts that otherwise may not get the mainstream exposure they so rightly deserve." Joining the bill for this inaugural run is Sweden's legendary OPETH who have been enjoying an ever-growing and expanding audience of their own for many years now. DT's Roadrunner Records label-mates will be ready to unleash their new album come next spring and PROGRESSIVE NATION should be a great launching pad for their next World Tour cycle. Guitarist/Vocalist Mikael Akerfeldt adds: "We're very excited about this upcoming tour with DREAM THEATER. It will be the first tour that we're doing in support of our upcoming record, and also somewhat of a dream come true personally as I've been a fan of theirs for a long time. It's quite intimidating to be on the bill with such amazing musicians but obviously we'll try and give them a run for their money and pull out a few nice licks of our own. I guess we'll need to practice a little bit for this....how boring! Yet, I can't wait for this tour to start and I'm sure we'll have a blast with the DT guys as well as together with the other bands on the bill!" Also on the bill with their unique blend of pop, funk and hard rock is upstate New York's 3 who issued the following statement: "3 is very pleased to announce its participation in the PROGRESSIVE NATION tour. For well over a decade DREAM THEATER has been the vanguard of progressive rock and we are completely psyched to flex with these heavyweights, playing much of our new record "The End is Begun". This package will rock and awe fans everywhere as one of the most important tours of the year. It's a progressive way of music, a progressive way of life....welcome to the PROGRESSIVE NATION tour." North Carolina's BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME are enjoying rave reviews and critical acclaim for their latest CD "Colors" and are looking forward to sharing the stage each night with both DREAM THEATER and OPETH. Vocalist/Keyboardist Tommy Rogers comments: "We are very excited to be touring with two bands that have been such an integral part of our musical upbringing. It is a wonderful opportunity to have our music heard by new ears." DREAM THEATER are currently in the middle of their "Chaos In Motion" World Tour which has already traveled extensively throughout Europe and North America in support of their latest Roadrunner Records CD "Systematic Chaos". The World Tour will continue throughout 2008 hitting Asia, Australia and South America before concluding with PROGRESSIVE NATION returning to North America in April/May 2008. Portnoy hopes that this first venture of PROGRESSIVE NATION will prove to be a success that can enable himself and DREAM THEATER to continue the package into future years and begin a tradition that musicians and fans alike can count on for quality musicianship and artistic integrity on future tours.

THE MIRACLE....TheM...Let Him Make His Choice.....

SEJARAH:

Berawal dari selera musik yang sama pada setiap personilnya, maka terbentuklah The Miracle. Pada awalnya, pembentukan The Miracle itu diawali ooleh seringnya mereka ngjam bareng Lagu-lagu dari Van Halen, Led Zeppelin dan Deep Purple. Dengan membentuk sebuah band dengan nama awal X-Part Band pada tahun 1998 yang terdiri dari Mahasiswa niversitas Trisakti, Band ini terus merubah konsep untuk membawakan spesialisasi musik Progressive Rock seperrt Kansas, Yes dan Rush.

Sempat vakum pada tahun 2000-2001, kemudian pada bulan Juli 2001, Faisal dan Reza kembali membentuk sebuah band denagn merekrut 3 personil baru, dengan konsep khusus membawakan Lagu-lagu dari Dream Theater. Oleh karena itu Nama band pun berubah menjadi the Miracle yang terinspirasi dari Judul Lagu Dream Theater yang berjudul “ Metropolis Part. 1 : The Miracle & The Sleeper”. Dengan Personil sekarang yang di isi oleh Faisal, Reza, Chemmy, Vedy, & Yessi. The Miracle Siap bersaing dalam belantika musik Indonesia dengan konsep Progressive Rock/Progressive Metal.

REVIEW:

The Miracle...Salah satu Band Progressive Rock Indo. Yang Lahir berkat influence-influence Band Prog.Rock/Metal Dunia. Riview gw mengenai album perdana ini, bener-bener sangat mengobati kerinduan gw terhadap Musik Prog.Rock di Industri Musik Indonesia. Dari warna musik gw menilai bawa The Miracle ini mungkin terinpirasi oleh DT (namanya juga Cover Band DT), tetapi tidak serat merta sama, tapi tetap mempunyai ciri khas The Miracle itu tersendiri...
Kalau dari lagu-lagunya gw suka "Dosa","Bertemu" dan "Matahari".khas banget Sound,Pattern,Time Sign nya.. Overall sih suka semuanya. Pokoknya The Miracle Prog.Rock Bangetlah...
Semoga saja dimasa mendatang The Miracle tetap akan bisa mewarnai blantika musik tanah air...
Keep The Dream Alive for The Miracle......

REVIEW:

Dream Theater adalah salah satu grup progressive metal paling terkemuka di dunia saat ini. Didirikan oleh Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci dan John Myung, mereka telah merilis delapan album studio, empat rekaman live dan satu album pendek (EP). Album pertama mereka, When Dream And Day Unite direkam dengan Charlie Dominici sebagai vokalis dan Kevin Moore sebagai pemain keyboards. Dominici berusia jauh lebih tua daripada anggota lainnya dan ingin memainkan musik yang lain, sehingga ia kemudian keluar dari grup. Mereka kemudian mencari pengganti yang ideal selama 2 tahun sampai akhirnya bertemu dengan James LaBrie, vokalis dari Kanada melalui audisi.

Bersama LaBrie mereka merekam Images And Words yang melambungkan nama mereka ke jajaran internasional dengan hit "Pull Me Under" dan "Another Day". Awake adalah album terakhir mereka dengan Moore yang kemudian digantikan oleh Derek Sherinian untuk album Falling Into Infinity. Pada akhirnya Sherinian juga digantikan oleh Jordan Rudess dan formasi ini masih bertahan sampai hari ini. Mereka telah meluncurkan album konsep Metropolis 2: Scenes From A Memory dan album ganda Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence. Pada tahun 2003 mereka memutuskan untuk merekam album non-konsep Train Of Thought yang sangat dipengaruhi oleh grup thrash metal seperti Metallica.

Album terbaru mereka yang berjudul Octavarium dikeluarkan pada tanggal 7 Juni 2005 dan selain merupakan album studio kedelapan juga mengandung delapan lagu.

Setelah Dream Theater meluncurkan album Live mereka dalam memperingati 20 tahun Dream Theater terbentuk yang berjudul Score yang direkam pada tanggal 1 April 2006 di Radio City Music Hall,US. Mereka kembali bersiap meluncurkan album ke sembilan mereka dengan membawa bendera label record baru yaitu RoadRunner Records, mereka telah merampungkan album Systematic Chaos yang berisi 8 lagu dan akan diluncurkan pada tanggal 5 Juni 2007 di US.

SEJARAH:

Dream Theater dibentuk pada bulan September 1985, ketika gitaris John Petrucci dan bassis John Myung memutuskan untuk membentuk sebuah band untuk mengisi waktu luang mereka ketika bersekolah di Berklee College of Music di Boston. Mereka lalu bertemu seorang pemain drum, Mike Portnoy, di salah satu ruang latihan di Berklee, dan setelah dua hari negosiasi, mereka berhasil mengajak Mike Portnoy untuk bergabung. Setelah itu, mereka bertiga ingin mengisi dua tempat kosong di band tersebut, dan Petrucci bertanya kepada teman band, Kevin Moore, untuk menjadi pemain keyboard. Dia setuju, dan ketika Chris Collins diajak untuk menjadi vokalis, band tersebut sudah komplit.

Dengan lima anggota, mereka memutuskan untuk menamai band tersebut dengan nama Majesty. Menurut dokumentasi DVD Score, mereka berlima sedang mengantri tiket untuk konser Rush di Berklee Performance Center ketika mendengarkan Rush dengan boom box. Portnoy lalu berkata bahwa akhiran dari lagu tersebut (Bastille Day) terdengar sangat "majestic". Pada saat itulah mereka memutuskan Majesty adalah nama yang bagus untuk sebuah band, dan tetap bagus sampai sekarang.

Pada saat - saat tersebut, Portnoy, Petrucci dan Myung masih berkutat dengan kuliah mereka, juga dengan kerja paruh waktu dan mengajar. Jadwal mereka menjadi kiat ketat sehingga mereka harus memutuskan antara mengejar karir di bidang musik atau mengakhiri band Majesty. Namun akhirnya Majesty menang dan mereka bertiga keluar dari Berklee untuk berkonsentrasi di karir musik. Petrucci mengomentari tentang hal ini di dokumentasi DVD Score, berkata bahwa saat tersebut sangat susah untuk meminta kepada orang tuanya untuk pergi ke sekolah musik. Dan lebih susah lagi untuk menyakinkan orang tuanya agar ia boleh keluar dari sekolah.

Moore juga akhirnya keluar dari sekolahnya, SUNY Fredonia, untuk berkonsentrasi dengan band tersebut.

KARAKTER PENULISAN LAGU:

Beberapa teknik penulisan lagu yang unik telah dilakukan oleh Dream Theater, yang kebanyakan terjadi di masa - masa sekarang, ketika mereka bisa bereksperimen dengan label rekaman mereka sendiri.

Dimulai dengan Train of Thought, Dream Theater sudah memulai memasukkan elemen - elemen kecil dan tersembunyi di musik mereka, dan memuat elemen tersebut kepada peminat yang lebih fanatik. Karakteristik yang paling terkenal (yang biasa disebut "nugget") tersembunyi di "In the Name of God", yang merupakan sandi morse dari "eat my ass and balls" (makan pantatku dan penisku), yang merupakan kata - kata terkenal dari Mike Portnoy. Sejak saat itu, banyak peminat - peminat Dream Theater mulai berusaha menemukan hal - hal kecil yang biasanya tidak menarik bagi peminat biasa.

Beberapa dari teknik mereka yang terkenal termasuk:

Suara dari fonograf di akhiran dari "Finally Free" di album Scenes from a Memory adalah suara yang sama di awalan "The Glass Prison" di album berikutnya, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Dan akhiran kunci terakhir di "As I Am" sama dengan kunci yang digunakan di album selanjutnya, Train of Thought. Juga, not piano yang dimainkan di akhiran "In the Name of God" di 'Train of Thought adalah not yang sama dengan pembukaan "The Root of All Evil" di album berikutnya, Octavarium.

Tiga bagian dari "The Glass Prison" di Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, dua bagian dari "This Dying Soul" di Train of Thought dan dua bagian dari "The Root of All Evil" di Octavarium menunjukkan tujuh poin pertama dari dua belas poin - poin di program Alcoholics Anonymous oleh Bill Wilson, yang mana program itu diikuti oleh Mike Portnoy. Ia juga berkata bahwa ia akan membuat lagu - lagu lain yang memuat lima program lainnya, yang akan ditujukan untuk Wilson

Dream Theater kadang menggunakan teknik penulisan lagu dimana bagian - bagian dari sebuah lagu dikembangkan tiap kali mereka dimainkan. Contohnya, lagu "6:00" dari Awake. Setelah awalan lagu, mereka hampir memainkan chorus, tapi mengulang lagu tersebut dari awalan lagi (di menit 1:33). Dan ketika chorus sudah seharusnya dimainkan pada saat berikutnya, mereka mengulang lagi dari awalan, di menit 2:11. Teknik ini bisa juga ditemukan di "Peruvian Skies", "Blind Faith" dan "Endless Sacrifice"

Penggunaan notasi yang berulang - ulang juga digunakan, yang sudah dikenal dari lagu - lagu Charles Ives, contohnya:
- Tema lagu "Wait for Sleep" muncul di "Learning to Live" (menit 8:11) dan juga muncul dua kali di "Just Let Me Breath" (menit 3:39 dan 5:21)
- Tema lagu "Learning to Live" muncul di "Another Day" (menit 2:53)
- Tema lagu "Space-Dye Vest" digunakan beberapa kali di album Awake.
- Tema pembukaan dari "Erotomania" digunakan di "Voices" di Awake (menit 4:51).
- Satu dari melodi - melodi di "Metropolis Pt 1 (The Miracle and the Sleeper)" diulang di chorus kedua di "Home" dari Metropolis Pt 2 (Scenes From A Memory), dengan cuma pengubahan satu kata. Beberapa lirik dari "Metropolis Pt 1" just digunakan di "Home". Pada dasarnya, keseluruhan album "Scenes From A Memory" penuh dengan musikal/lirikal/konseptual variasi dari elemen - elemen musikal dari "Metropolis Pt 1" dan "The Dance of Eternity" sebenarnya dibangun dari variasi - variasi elemen musik di lagu - lagu dalam album tersebut.
- Bagian - baguan dari tiap lagu di album "Octavarium" telah digunakan di bagian kelima dari lagu berjudul sama, "Octavarium".

Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, studio album ke enam mereka, memuat enam lagu dan mempunyai karakter - karakter angka enam di judul - judul lagunya. Train of Thought, studio album ke tujuh mereka, memuat tujuh lagu. Octavarium, studio album ke delapan mereka memuat delapan lagu dan judul albumnya diambil dari kata octo, yang merupakan kata Latin yang berarti delapan, berarti satu oktaf dari istilah musik, yang mana merupakan jarak dari satu not ke not lain adalah delapan not di tangga nada diatonik. Judul lagi dari CD ini adalah 24 menit, kelipatan dari 8. Halaman depan albumnya juga memuat karakter - karakter yang berhubungan dengan 5 dan 8. Contohnya, satu set dari kotak - kotak putih dan kotak - kotak hitam, mempunyai arti satu oktaf dari piano.

Lagu "Octavarium" dulunya ingin diakhiri dengan seruling yang bergema serupa dengan awalan lagu tersebut. Namun diganti dengan not piano yang sama dari awalan album Octavarium. Mike Portnoy telah mengatakan bahwa seri awalan - akhiran album akan berhenti disini, karena album ke sembilan mendatang tidak akan diawali dengan akhiran "Octavarium"

Analisis detil tentang "nugget" di "Octavarium" (disebut oleh Mike Portnoy sebagai "sebuah nugget raksasa") telah dipublikasikan di sebuah situs independen.
