Thats not true, im not saying ONLY freddie is good and there isnt other good music out there
[/QUOTE]
But you have misguidedly stated in the past that, in all aspects, Freddie is the greatest musician ever. As incredible as he was, nobody can be the whole package.
[QUOTE]im just saying ive listened to a few DT songs and while very skilled they cant write a GOOD song.[/QUOTE]
Yes, they are very skilled, but the latter is your opinion. Skill can be measured to some degree, but what makes a good song is relative to one's tastes. I can only hope you'll come to understand this some day.
[QUOTE]Here is a guy that is as skilled as them but the difference being he can write a good catchy emotional song, im pretty sure this song is better than anything DT has ever done:

[/QUOTE]
That is also your opinion.
To me, it's standard 80s speed metal. Great tune, and he's certainly a great player.
[/QUOTE]
Freddie was the complete package though, he wasnt the most skilled piano player ever but he could write A LOT of really good songs in all kind of genres, he could sing any genre better than anyone else and still to this day no one even comes close to him and they never will. His voice and the way he sings will always be the best by far, no one can compare simply.
Its just what i think, DT are very skilled but cant write good songs, simple as that,
yes its from the 80s but the way you say that is like its outdated and DT somehow are better? if thats standard then i dont know what DT is.

Completely agree with the first statement, but disagree with the second statement. He could write a lot of [b]GREAT [/b]songs in different genres. [img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img] (As a songwriter, I consider him to be among the very finest of all time and equally as good as Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Wilson, Cohen and any other legendary songwriter.)

If he had Rick Wakeman's technical ability, would he have then been a fuller package?
It gives me great pleasure pointing out the inconsistencies in your logic.
[QUOTE]he could sing any genre better than anyone else[/QUOTE]
He did jazz better than Ella Fitzgerald or r&b better than Stevie Wonder? But he did do death metal better than Cannibal Corpse, and I have the recording to prove it.

I love their version of Spread Your Wings - TM did you hear that one ?

I think you're thinking of the by-the-book Blind Guardian cover. Dream Theater have never covered the song, though it would be awesome.

The Dream Theater versions of the three Queen songs were released today. Overall, it's superb.
They stay true to the originals, yet they infuse their style into the songs to make them their own. Tenement and Flick are executed grandly, but Lily doesn't completely suit LaBrie's voice. Petrucci wisely concocts his own solo in Tenement Funster, as there's really no point in copying May's. But in the context's of DT's flavour of the song, it works perfectly.
I've heard hundreds of Queen covers, and these rank among the very best, along with Valensia's Liar, Celine Dion's The Show Must Go On, Joss Stone's Under Pressure, and Weird Al's Bohemian Polka.

to Treasure Moment:
do ya think ya could copy and paste your replies, rather than taking up so much freaking vacant space?
Also, if you have only heard snippets of a few tracks............why reply endlessly on something that you obviously have no educated opinion of? It would be like me commenting on this board if I'd only heard 'Two Sharp Pencils', and then calling myself a Queen fan. Geesh.
And, it would be like me hijacking a thread regarding just a few of all the Treasure Moment tracks I have heard, and making an opinion about them.
oh, let me digress.....I've never heard any, so I won't comment or hog the board. If you don't know anything about a band, just leave the comment part alone. Your ignorance is not bliss.
Moving on to some previous comments............DT with nothing melodic?!?!!?!? Listen to disk two of 'Six Degrees' and 'Octavarium'. The band was ripped by old fans because they had sold out for being TOO melodic (just check the amazon comments). To us, they were the band's two best albums (segments of 'Scenes' notwithstanding), but what do we know?
More than you do, sir.
Have a good day.

Dream Theater demonstrate how the job has to be done.
I really like LaBrie's vocals. Listening to LaBrie performing these 3 Queen songs, I think that all the rumours about this American Idol guy joining Queen are ridiculous. LaBrie should get the job. ;)

After reading the previous two posters reviews, I couldn't wait (for a buck twenty nine, wtf)
These were great!!!! It was surprisingly bare bones, almost a garage band type of presentation. Had thought Portnoy or Petrucci would have handled the LVs for 'Tenement', thought that Rudess' synths would have been used as the backing vocals on 'Lily'..........instead, LaBrie was in the forefront, on his own in a way, and the entire presentation was splendid.
Screw the 'Progressive Nation' warm up acts..........Brian and Roger, go on tour with these guys. Trade off top billing. Share the stage for various tracks. It would be killer.
I know....I am dreaming.....but, one is allowed to dream. It would be bliss.

Goddamnit...is it only available on iTunes? Guess I'll have to wait for the CD. We don't have iTunes here. And c'mon.... do you really rank Celine's TSMGO among the best? Oh well, good for you. :)
Dream Theater should at least be Queen's opening act on the next tour.

Myself, I'm very much looking forward to seeing Zappa Plays Zappa. It'll be the perfect precursor to DT. That, and it'll be the closest thing I'll ever get to seeing Zappa.

I also like LaBrie's voice, his technique is certainly brilliant. It would be interesting to hear him sing more Queen songs even though I think there are plenty of Queen songs with which he would struggle. Not because he can not sing it technically but because his voice is not as powerful as Freddie's (or Paul's for that matter). I have a version of him singing 'One vision' somewhere and that was certainly not impressive.

On youtube there is another Queen song played by Dream Theater.
In this case: Death on Two Legs alive from 2004...a very nice version...maybe this could be included on the next Dream Theater's official bootleg of Covers Songs
