Dream Theater is an
American progressive metal/rock band formed in
1985 under the name
Majesty by
John Petrucci,
John Myung, and
Mike Portnoy while they attended
Berklee College of Music in
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.[3] 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. In
2007,
Systematic Chaos entered
U.S. Billboard 200 at
No. 19.[5] By 2011, Dream Theater had sold over 12 million records worldwide.[8]
The band's eleventh studio album,
A Dramatic Turn of Events, was released on
September 13, 2011. It entered the U.S. Billboard 200 at No. 8, two positions lower than their previous release
Black Clouds & Silver Linings which entered the Billboard 200 chart at
No. 6. The album is the band's first with Mike Mangini, since Mike Portnoy's departure.[9] 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.[10] Dream Theater's self-titled 12th studio album was released on
September 23,
2013 and sold around 34,000 copies in the first week and landed at
No. 7 on the Billboard 200 chart, one position higher than A Dramatic Turn of Events.[11]
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.
