Hi everyone My name is Ricardo and I'm 16 years old.

I became a Dream Theater fan in 2008. A friend of mine had fallen in love with the band's music because his stepfather showed him Live in Tokyo, and he played a few songs of them for me. I wasn't paying too much attention, but I really enjoyed Metropolis. Back then I was really into power metal, so it didn't call my attention that much. A few months later, my brother bought Greatest Hit (and 21 other really cool songs) and played it in the car. That was it for me. After listening to the first three songs, I couldn't ask for more musical perfection. Since then, or well, a month later or something, they've been my favorite band. The first DT album I bought, without ever having listening to it besides the few songs that appear on Greatest Hit (and 21 other really cool songs) was Scenes From a Memory. Of course, I'm also totally in love with it.

I enjoy playing keyboard, but don't play any other instrument, even though I really want to learn how to play the bass. My favorite bands are Dream Theater (duh), DragonForce, Porcupine Tree, Transatlantic, Avantasia, Killing Touch and Vision Divine.

By the way... can anyone help me with my avatar? I don't know how to upload one

Nevermind, already noticed the one I uploaded works

Yes, but do you like Pina Coladas?

DT fan since 2005, a few months before OV was released, but I was listenning SFAM. Since that time, it was 4 live shows: 2 in Sao Paulo (dec/2005 - Octavarium Tour - on the 2nd day they played the entire SFAM!!!!!!!), one in RIo de Janeiro (SC tour), and after, my dream realized - Madison Square Garden - 2010 (Iron Maiden opening act). As far I am a big big fan of Iron Maiden, I traveled almost 10.000 thousand miles just to see DT.

By now, counting the days for my 5th and 6th live shows: Morristown and NYC!!!!

Vacations scheduled, airplane and show tickets ok (meet and greet, of course....lol)........From Rio de Janeiro to NYC!!!!!!

Btw, I´m a lawyer, and even my wife and 12 yo daughter are fans. Spirit Carries On is always playng on her car CD player...

Greetings from Brazil!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm Li Heng from Hong Kong

The very first DT song I got into was Hell's Kitchen sometime in 2004, after my friend showed me a live performance of it (Modern Drummer Festival 2003) and subsequently being really impressed with Mike Portnoy, I only really got into Dream Theater in late 2005 after listening to Octavarium (the album), I was at a critical juncture in my life at that point, many new changes and new beginnings, and through the "turbulence" this album spoke out to me and the rest is history. While DT is my favorite band overall, I'm also into many other forms of metal, e.g. Thrash, Death, Black, Folk etc, and some of my other favorite bands are Symphony X, Threshold, Metallica, Fleshgod Apocalypse and Ensiferum.

Hey everyone,

My name is none of your business :P. You can call me Soulfire :D. However I am 17 and live in Brisbane, Australia. Been into Dream Theater since about 2008, but my first album was Octavarium. TBH I was actually into LTE before DT lol! A friend of mine gave me LTE2, and I absolutely loved it. I heard that it was a side project for Dream Theater, bought Octavarium and fell in love with it instantly.

I'm finishing up Year 12 this year. I play keys, guitar, bass and drums and I compose quite a bit. Going to study composition at the Conservatorium next year.

Aside from DT I love all kinds of progressive music including Porcupine Tree, OSI, Transatlantic, Meshuggah, Animals as Leaders, ELP etc.

Great thread by the way :)

Regards,

Soulfire

Hi, I've been heavily into DT since accidentally discovering Octavarium while browsing cds at an independent music store in 2005. I'm also now a huge fan of Mike Mangini. He's the beast!

I also love to travel and explore new places, food, friends, live theater, all kinds of music...everything from A-ha to Al Di Meola to Porcupine Tree, and I have this little cycling addiction...
