The Band That Changed The World For You
- Thread starter popeye
- Start date
You should give Opeth a listen, particularly the Blackwater Park album.. there's a chance you could really like it.
nice one, but in the last couple of years I've made the switch from melodic death metal to metalcore and a bit of deathcore.
Still love In Flames, Dark Tranquility, Soilwork, At the Gates, Carcass, Opeth, Children of Bodom, The Haunted
but now more Neaera (now playing), Maroon, As I Lay Dying, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, Still Remains, August Burns Red, Caliban, Bring Me the Horizon, I Killed the Prom Queen, Parkway Drive, The Black Dahlia Murder..
and good old Lamb of God \m/
besides all that, TOOL. And a lot of weird Psytrance noone would have heard of - Simon Posford (Shpongle, Hallucinogen), Juno Reactor, The Delta..
and a completely different tip - Bassnectar. finally something different after all those years! fucking Burning Man
fuck too much music has effected me in so many ways over the years, I could go on for pages, its an obsession
same here. They dragged me from Eminem/Jay-z/top 40 crap into stuff that radio won't play.
Slipknot -> Korn -> RATM -> SOAD -> Slayer -> Lamb of God -> dillinger escape plan -> APC -> TOOL. It was a long journey
To be honest, the song you're talking about (Rite of Passage) is my least favorite DT song ever and I agree the lyrical topic is not interesting (nor typical at all for what they usually write about). I frankly don't like it either and I think it's on the album only to have a "radio-friendly" single for the record company.
As far as them being freemason/illuminati/new world order puppets....Lol, far from it! Those lyrics are cheesy and it's a filler song that IMO has nothing to do with what Dream Theater stands for.
These are some I should have posted:

Muddy vocals?? Perhaps it's time to clean your speakers..
The vocals are crystal-clear and James LaBrie has arguably one of the best studio voices in the genre.If you think it's boring: that video I embedded was from a calmer PART within an 18-minute epic song. The song is based on true events and goes through heavier parts, fast riffs, and many different time changes and moods. I just included it to show that they are capable of writing really beautiful melodies as well as heavy metal (within one song!)
Haha.... seem to be new world order?? You're basing that off of the lyrics that were posted above. Like I have said already: Dream Theater are NOT conspiracy-theory idiots/new-world-order freaks or anything of the sort. That is just one song off the new album that was released to be a single, and is as far away lyrically from their other material as possible.
1) This thread is not about listing all our favorite bands. If it was I would have listed tons more too.
2) The thread IS about the ONE band that made a difference in your life.
Sure, Pearl Jam is a good band with some good songs. Did Nirvana or Outkast change your world? Talk about awful and boring - and hardly inspirational.
Public Enemy.
I never "got" the fucking hair bands from the 80's (GnR excluded), and when PE hit everything made sense finally. Of course, rap went on to be destroyed by MTV, and I have long since moved on to other genre's but in the late 80's of my youth it was the purest form of music out.

Seeing Black Flag on the "Slip It In" tour in 1984, with Saccharine Trust opening. Mind blowing, and changed everything for me. Nothing like that LP before or since.

I agree. First time I heard LaBrie on "Images and Words," my jaw dropped.
first time I saw them was at lollapalooza in 1996. They played their then unreleased aenema music video on huge screens behind themselves. It was great.
They put on an awesome show.
