Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty
by John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music
in Boston, Massachusetts. They subsequently dropped out of their studies to concentrate further
on the band that would ultimately become Dream Theater. Though a number of lineup changes
followed, the three original members remained together along with James LaBrie and Jordan
Rudess until September 8, 2010, when Portnoy left the band. In October 2010, the band held
auditions for a drummer to replace Portnoy. Mike Mangini was announced as the new permanent
drummer on April 29, 2011.
The band is well known for the technical proficiency of its instrumentalists, who have won many
awards from music instruction magazines. Guitarist John Petrucci has been named as the third
player on the G3 tour six times, more than any invited players. In 2009 he was named the No. 2
best metal guitarist by Joel McIver in his book The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists. He was also
named as one of the "Top 10 Fastest Shredders of All Time" by GuitarOne magazine.[1] Jordan
Rudess is considered to be one of the greatest keyboard players of all time by many publications
like MusicRadar.[2] Former drummer Mike Portnoy has won 26 awards from Modern Drummer
magazine and is also the second youngest person (at the age of 37) to be inducted into the Rock
Drummer Hall of Fame. His replacement Mike Mangini has also previously set 5 WFD records.

John Myung was voted the greatest bassist of all time in a poll conducted by MusicRadar in
August through September 2010. The band was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of
Fame in 2010.[4]
The band's highest-selling album is the gold-selling Images and Words (1992), which reached
No. 61 on the Billboard 200 chart.[5] Both the 1994 release Awake and their 2002 release Six
Degrees of Inner Turbulence also entered the charts at No. 32 and No. 46 respectively and
received mostly positive reviews. Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory was ranked number
95 on the October 2006 issue of Guitar World magazine's list of The greatest 100 guitar albums
of all time.[6] It is ranked as the 15th Greatest Concept Album (as of March 2003) by Classic
Rock Magazine[7] and as the number one all-time progressive album by Rolling Stone (as of July
2012). Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence also led to Dream Theater becoming the initial band
reviewed in the music section of Entertainment Weekly during its opening week of release,
despite the magazine generally preferring more mainstream music.
The band's eleventh studio album, A Dramatic Turn of Events, was released on September 13,
2011. On November 30, 2011, the album's lead single, "On the Backs of Angels", was nominated
for a Grammy Award in the "Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance" category, marking the band's
first ever Grammy nomination.[8] Dream Theater's self-titled twelfth studio album was released
on September 23, 2013 and earned their second Grammy Award nomination, this time for Best
Metal Performance, for the album's first single, "The Enemy Inside".[9]
On April 9, 2013, Images and Words won Loudwire's fan voted March Metal Madness for
world's best metal album beating albums by Dio, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Megadeth and Metallica.

As of 2011, Dream Theater has sold over 12 million records worldwide
Dream Theater was formed in Massachusetts in 1985 when guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John
Myung, and drummer Mike Portnoy decided to form a band while attending the Berklee College
of Music. The trio started by covering Rush and Iron Maiden songs in the rehearsal rooms at
Berklee.
Myung, Petrucci, and Portnoy joined together on the name Majesty for their newly formed
group. According to the The Score So Far... documentary, they were waiting in line for tickets to
a Rush concert at the Berklee Performance Center while listening to the band on a boom box.
Portnoy commented that the ending of the song "Bastille Day" (from the album Caress of Steel)
sounded "majestic". It was then decided that Majesty would be the band's name.[12]
The trio then set out to fill the remaining positions in the group. Petrucci asked his high school
bandmate Kevin Moore to play the keyboard. After he accepted the position, another friend from
home, Chris Collins, was recruited as lead vocalist after band members heard him sing a cover of
"Queen of the Reich" by Queensrche.[13] During this time, Portnoy, Petrucci, and Myung's hectic
schedules forced them to abandon their studies to concentrate on their music, as they did not feel
they could learn more in college. Moore also left his college, SUNY Fredonia, to concentrate on
the band.
"Another Won"

"Another Won" from The Majesty Demos.
The beginning months of 1986 were filled with various concert dates in and around the New
York City area. During this time, the band recorded a collection of demos, titled The Majesty
Demos. The initial run of 1,000 sold out within six months, and dubbed copies of the cassette
became popular within the progressive metal scene. The Majesty Demos are still available in
their original tape format today, despite being released officially on CD, through Mike Portnoy's
YtseJam Records.
In November 1986, after a few months of writing and performing together, Chris Collins was
fired. After a year of trying to find a replacement, Charlie Dominici, who was far older and more
experienced than anyone else in the band, successfully auditioned for the group. With the
stability that Dominici's appointment brought to Majesty, they began to increase the number of
shows played in the New York City area, gaining a considerable amount of exposure.
Shortly after hiring Dominici, a Las Vegas group also named Majesty[14] threatened legal action
for intellectual property infringement related to the use of their name, so the band was forced to
adopt a new moniker. Various possibilities were proposed and tested, among them Glasser,
Magus, and M1, which were all rejected, though the band did go as Glasser for about a week,
though fans reacted poorly to this decision. Eventually, Portnoy's father suggested the name
Dream Theater, the name of a small theater in Monterey, California, and the name stuck.[15]
With their new name and band stability, Dream Theater concentrated on writing more material
while playing more concerts in New York and in neighboring states. This eventually attracted the
attention of Mechanic Records, a division of MCA. Dream Theater signed their first record
contract with Mechanic on June 23, 1988[16] and set out to record their debut album. The band
recorded the album at Kajem Victory Studios in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. Recording the basic
tracks took about 10 days, and the entire album was completed in about 3 weeks.[17]
When Dream and Day Unite was released in 1989 to far less fanfare than the band had
anticipated. Mechanic ended up breaking the majority of the financial promises they had made to
Dream Theater prior to signing their contract, so the band was restricted to playing around New
York City. The promotional tour for the album consisted of just five concerts, all of which were
relatively local. Their first show was at Sundance in Bay Shore, New York opening for the
classic rock power trio Zebra.[18]
After the fourth show, Charlie Dominici was let go because the band was starting to feel the
limitations of his voice based upon the vocal style they wanted. The band was looking for a
singer with a style more like Bruce Dickinson or Geoff Tate, and Dominici's stage presence was
not what they wanted for a front man. Shortly after, however, the band Marillion asked Dream
Theater to open for them at a gig at the Ritz in New York, so Dominici was given the opportunity
to perform one last time.[18] It would be another two years before Dream Theater had a
replacement vocalist.
Following Dominici's departure, Dream Theater fought successfully to be released from their
contract with Mechanic, and set about auditioning singers and writing material for their next
album. In their search for a new singer, they auditioned over 200 people, among them former
Fates Warning front man John Arch. John ultimately decided that his personal commitments were
more important and he opted not to join the band.[19] In mid-1990, at a gig in New York, Dream
Theater introduced Steve Stone as their new singer. Stone had successfully recorded demos with
Dream Theater, but he was fired following a single, ill-fated live performance. According to
Mike Portnoy, Stone moved around the stage in a rather odd manner, seemingly doing a bad
impression of Bruce Dickinson. Additionally, he shouted "Scream for me Long Beach!" several
times throughout the show (Dickinson can be heard saying this on Iron Maiden's live album Live
After Death), although they were actually performing in Bayshore.[20] It was five months before
Dream Theater played another show, this time all-instrumental (under the name YtseJam). Until
1991, the band remained focused in an attempt to hire another singer and writing additional
music.[18] It was during this period that they wrote the majority of what would become Images
and Words (1992).
In January 1991, the band received a demo tape from Kevin James LaBrie, of glam metal band
Winter Rose.[21] The band had received the tape just before they were about to commit to another
singer. The band was so impressed by his demo that he was flown from Canada to New York for
an audition. LaBrie jammed on three songs with the band, and was immediately hired to fill the
vocalist position. Once recruited, LaBrie decided to drop his first name to avoid confusion with
the other Kevin in the band. For the next few months, the band returned to playing live shows
(still mostly around NYC), while working on vocal parts for the music written before acquiring
LaBrie. Derek Shulman and Atco Records (now EastWest), a division of Elektra Records, signed
Dream Theater to a seven-album contract based on a three song demo (later made available as
"The Atco Demos" through the Dream Theater fan club).
The first album to be recorded under their new record contract was Images and Words (1992).
For promotion, the label released a CD Single and video clip for the song "Another Day", but
neither made significant commercial impact. The song "Pull Me Under", however, managed to
garner a high level of radio airplay without any organized promotion from the band or their label.
In response, ATCO produced a video clip for "Pull Me Under", which saw heavy rotation on
MTV. A third video clip was produced for "Take the Time", but it was not nearly as successful as
"Pull Me Under".
The success of "Pull Me Under", combined with relentless touring throughout the U.S. and
Japan, caused Images and Words to achieve gold record certification in the States and platinum
status in Japan. A tour of Europe followed in 1993, which included a show at London's famed
Marquee Club. The show was recorded and released as Live at the Marquee, Dream Theater's
first official live album. Additionally, a video compilation of their Japanese concerts (mixed in
with documentary-style footage of the off-stage portion of the tour) was released as Images and
Words: Live in Tokyo.

Longer Than Poets Will Rhyme
Girl My Love Will Burn For You Until The End Of Time
If I Should Die Before Tomorrow Comes
I Wont Regret A Single Day, Because I Had Your Love
Must Be Somethin In The Way You Say My Name
It Takes Away My Worries And My Pain
Girl I Know We'll Make It Through The Rain Together
[Chorus:]
If I Never Get To Heaven Then At Least I Will Have Known
I Had An Angel Here On Earth That I Could Call My Very Own
And If This World Should End Tomorrow Girl This Much I Know Is True
I Found My Piece Of Heaven The Day That I Found You

Like A River Flows And A Flower Grows, My Love For You Will Never Fade
Like The Sun Will Rise In The Morning Sky
You Know That I Am Here To Stay Forever
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus:]
If I Never Get To Heaven Then At Least I Will Have Known
I Had An Angel Here On Earth That I Could Call My Very Own
And If The World Should End Tomorrow
Girl This Much I Know Is True
I Have Found My Piece Of Heaven The Day That I Found You
Like A River Flows And A Flower Grows, My Love For You Will Never Fade
Like The Sun Will Rise In The Morning Sky You Know I Am Here To Stay

"Javier" (2003)
[Verse 1]
Kind of like a summer's breeze,
you do exactly as you please,
drop a brother to his knees just for fun.
I think it was the first of May,
girl I can't forget the day,
right then and there I knew you were the one.
Do you think that possibly,
you could spend your life with me,
cause girl this love is growing, and it's hotter than the sun.
[Chorus:]
I get a little bit crazy baby,
everytime you call my name
my heart beats a little bit faster,
after, you are in my arms again.
Can't try to fight it,
won't even try to hide it,
emotions falling down like the rain,
I can't find the words to explain it,
ain't it, crazy how i fall,
everytime you call my name.
[Verse 2]
It's kind of like a work of art,
you shot an arrow through my heart,
even though we're worlds apart I can't deny,
it feels like your apart
of me the finish and the start of me,
girl you are the heart of me,
and that's no lie,
did I mention that I love you so,
and I just want the world to know,
if I could you know I would write your name across the sky.
[Chorus]
Crazy, crazy...
Evertime that your close to me,
I lose control of my sanity,
everynight, everyday, every word and you say,
girl do you know you put a spell on me.
[Chorus]
Crazy,
Everytime you call my name,
I don't know what to do,
I'm so in love with you.
