Re: Dream Theater
Dream Theater is one of those bands, that I can only listen to by myself. They have a very deep, and personal feel to them, that I like to listen to, normally in my dark room, late at night, while I smoke a couple of doobies.
Honestly, I don't ever listen to any of their albums, except for once in a great while. I have all of their live DvD's though, and I normally watch them, because its such a more powerful performance in my opinion. The extended solo's, and breaks, are just so amazing to watch, that when I listen to the albums it doesn't give me the same satisfaction. Although some music they don't play live, which is a problem. But I love them, and Petrucci is a hero of mine, along with just about everyone else in the band.

And Magic, I have to say that Guitar Hero changed my life. If it wasn't for Guitar Hero III, and Through The Fire and the Flames, I would have never been exposed to Metal, and probably would have continued listening to crap and never getting into music as much as I have.
