DREAM THEATER

pour le prog sinon va sur u tube

le groupe s'apelle threshold et leurs meilleurs album est dead reckoning.

essaye de t'y intéresser et donne des nouvelles

sinon il y a une chanson térrible "long way home"
que long peu qualifié de heavy avec un rif a la megadeth et des solos bien prog(a écouter obligatoirement)

Le dernier Threshold n'est pas vraiment du prog. Ca oscille entre AOR et Hard FM...comme pour Journey qui a commencé en faisant du prog puis simplifié sa musique pour la rendre plus "écoutable" à l'oreille de tous.
Sinon Threshold est un excellent groupe.

Image and words a été une grosse baffe dans ma geule! Cet album est incroyable de technique et de feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Au fait pour répondre à un autre point posé sur le prog: Symphony X est bien un groupe de prog à part entière.
C'est absolument incontestable.

Le dernier Sympho ("Paradise Lost"), tu le places dans le Prog ?
Je me suis déjà posé la question mais je trouve qu'il est beaucoup plus proche d'un Heavy Speed (en plus bourrin) que ce qu'ils ont sorti avant, plus Metal Prog justement.

Si tu regardes bien la structures de certains titres, c'est "invariablement" du prog (c'est assez paradoxal de parler d'invariable quand on cite le progressif).
Certes ça envoie, certes c'est plus speed, plus bourrin, mais la structure est progressive.

Je remonte le topic, non pas parce que j'ai subitement accroché à la musique du groupe mais plutôt pour signaler une mini-déflagration : Mike Portnoy quitte Dream Theater !

Citation :

I am about to write something I never imagined I'd ever write:

After 25 years, I have decided to leave Dream Theater....the band I founded, led and truly loved for a quarter of a century.

To many people this will come as a complete shock, and will also likely be misunderstood by some, but please believe me that it is not a hasty decision...it is something I have struggled with for the last year or so....

After having had such amazing experiences playing with Hail, Transatlantic and Avenged Sevenfold this past year, I have sadly come to the conclusion that I have recently had more fun and better personal relations with these other projects than I have for a while now in Dream Theater...

Please don't misinterpret me, I love the DT guys dearly and have a long history, friendship and bond that runs incredibly deep with them...it's just that I think we are in serious need of a little break...

Dream Theater was always my baby...and I nurtured that baby every single day and waking moment of my life since 1985...24/7, 365...never taking time off from DT's never-ending responsibilites (even when the band was "off" between cycles)...working overtime and way beyond the call of duty that most sane people ever would do for a band...

But I've come to the conclusion that the DT machine was starting to burn me out...and I really needed a break from the band in order to save my relationship with the other members and keep my DT spirit hungry and inspired.

We have been on an endless write/record/tour cycle for almost 20 years now (of which I have overseen EVERY aspect without a break) and while a few months apart from each other here & there over the years has been much needed and helpful, I honestly hoped the band could simply agree with me to taking a bit of a "hiatus" to recharge our batteries and "save me from ourselves"...

Sadly, in discussing this with the guys, they determined they do not share my feelings and have decided to continue without me rather than take a breather...I even offered to do some occasional work throughout 2011 against my initial wishes, but it was not to be...

While it truly hurts for me to even think of a Dream Theater without Mike Portnoy (hell, my father named the band!!), I do not want to stand in their way...so I have decided to sacrifice myself and simply leave the band so as to not hold them back against their wishes....

Strangely enough, I just read an interview that I recently did that asked me about the future of DT and I talked about "always following your heart and being true to yourself"...sadly I must say that at this particular moment, my heart is not with Dream Theater...and I would simply be "going through the motions", and would honestly NOT be true to myself if I stayed for the sake of obligation without taking the break I felt I needed.

I wish the guys the best and hope the music and legacy we created together is enjoyed by fans for decades to come...I am proud of every album we made, every song we wrote and every show we played....

I'm sorry to all the disappointed DT fans around the world...I really tried to salvage the situation and make it work...I honestly just wanted a break (not a split)...but happiness cannot be forced, it needs to come from within....

You DT fans are the greatest fans in the world and as you all know, I have always busted my ass for you guys and I hope that you will stay with me on my future musical journey, wherever it may lead me....(and as you all know my work ethic, there will surely be no shortage of future MP projects!)

Sadly...
Your fearless ex-leader and drummer,
MP

Portnoy est Dream Theater.
Ce mec là ne vivait que pour ça, pas étonnant qu'à un moment il n'ait plus l'envie quand on a tout jeté dans la bataille.
Mais d'un autre côté je prends ça plus pour un break qu'autre chose.
OK le groupe va continuer...sans lui....mais seulement pendant un temps.
Soit DT arrêtera après le prochain album et sa tournée ou tentera de continuer, mais tôt ou tard Portnoy reviendra au bercail. Il aura fait son break et ça lui manquera. Si le groupe s'est arrêté entre temps, il le refondera avec l'équipe actuelle et ça repartira.
Il a un coup de mou, il s'est éclaté sur les autres projets car il n'avait pas la charge du groupe sur les épaules et a fait des trucs plus simples et surtout différents. Il a besoin d'un bol d'air pour évacuer la pression mais il reviendra.

Une petite pause ne peut pas leur faire de mal vu les deux derniers albums parus....

Le groupe continue sans Portnoy.

Ben mince, en voilà une drôle de news!!!!!

ça semble tellement inconcevable ce départ quand on sait l'importance de Mike Portnoy au sein de DREAM THEATER.

On verra ce que ça peut donner...sans lui.
