I acutally only found out about DT when I met Mike Portnoy ata drum clinic right after 'Awake' was released. Mike played the drums live to the digital music track of 'Erotomania'. All I could do was stil there and drool. He was amazing. I got to meet the entire band at another drum clinic a year later. These guys were incedible. Not an ego among them. '6:00' is my all time favorite DT song.

Actually, Dream Theater started out as "Majesty," not "Mirage." It is also interesting to note that one of the songs on the "When Dream and Day Unite" album (Ytse Jam) is actually Majesty spelled backwards. Majesty had already been taken, so they had to change the name to Dream Theater based on the suggestion by Mike Portnoy's father, Howard Portnoy, based on the aforementioned California theater. But yes, I agree, DT is an incredible band, the best I have ever heard!

Dream Theater started out as "Mirage", but when lead singer Chris Collins left the band they changed their name into Dream Theater, inspired by a now-demolished California movie theater. Charli Dominici became their frontman. He only lasted one album (When Dreams and Day unite) and fortunately Dream Theater came up with a bloke called James Labrie. Their second album "Images and Words" produced a small "hit", namely "Pull me under". Since then they are THE best Prog Rock band I have ever heard.
