I'd say Dream Theater are more like a 21st century Yes.

DT and Queen are from pretty opposite ends of the playing field, I think.

Not entirely.  Just depends on how you view it.

Songwriting wise, both bands are very diverse and creative.  They both make good use of harmony and they both have knowledge in a wide range of music.
[/QUOTE]
Very true.  So once again, you can find a link between any two bands if you look hard enough, and differences if you look hard enough.

I see where you're coming from, and on some points you're certainly correct.

But without strong musicianship and innovation, they're nowhere near being the new Queen.

If any band these days can be called the new Queen, it's Muse.

I second that.

and I third it

While I do agree with Sir GH that Dream Theater are more like Yes than Queen, Dream Theater's covers of the SHA songs remain IMO among the all-time great Queen covers.

Brian's a great guitarist. But Petrucci's a hell of a lot better.

Sorry, I don't agree.

And you don't have to. This is a forum, where people may have different opinions, and often do.

Absolutely agreed.  They were a colossal achievement.

I'll third that. They sound absolutely incredible.

I don't ever remember Queen starting life as a a punk rock band. They don't sound anything like each other,so i am afraid the answer to your question is Nooooooooooooooooo !!!

What's so great about Muse.  Personally, I hate them.

What do you hate about them?

They are strong musicians, and one of the very few rock bands in the mainstream who are continuously growing and trying out new sounds, instead of churning out the same old predictable crap like virtually everyone else on the radio.  They are one of my very favourite bands right now.

[/b][/QUOTE]So even if John Petrucci is a better guitarist than Brian, so what?  99% of the population wouldn't know a note of John Petrucci's music.  My parents, and most of yours, and grandparents have heard WWRY guitar solo and can probably hume it note by note, plus Bohemian Rhapsody's solo. Whenever these threads turn into who plays like what, I don't get it.  It's not like Brian is Bruce Springsteen or Billy Joe Armstrong on guitar, he's a certifiable guitar hero.  Thousands of kids on YouTube are "better" than Brian.  BFD.  [/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]As a casual Green Day fan, I see the point of the thread.  They've changed, and change is always good musically.  Queen's fist was a fantastic album, would hate to see KYA clones on NOTW, The Game, AKOM etc., and apart from a few retries (Tear it Up trying to recapture WWRY) they were always into new things, to the dismay of long time fans, but did capture new fans.[/QUOTE]

I heard them playing for free at the start of the month, as I live over the road from the Big Day Out venue.
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]They were good at recreating their sound in a live environment, but I think they must have picked all of their most derivative songs to play, or something.  Honestly sounded like someone was covering The Wall.  With some "Was It All Worth It" thrown in.
