DREAM THEATER's JAMES LABRIE: 'We're Much More Than' Progressive Metal

In a new interview with Revolver magazine, DREAM THEATER singer James LaBrie was asked if there are any ways people characterize his band's music that bother him. James responded: "They might just go, 'Well, that's progressive. They're all noodling, and it's these long, long songs.' And I'm like, 'Oh my God.' Obviously you haven't really listened to our album, as an album, and heard all the differences throughout each and every album, all the styles that we touch on. It's not about the epic songs."

He continued: "We love to play epics, and that has become a big part of our identity. I'm extremely proud and I'll stand behind any one of our long songs — as some people refer to them — because I think that they're brilliantly done. I'm not trying to sound pompous and conceited. I just really think that if you are going to do songs that are 12, 15, 20 minutes and so on, there's got to be a purpose behind it. There's got to be a ride there for the listener. There has to be the dynamics. Then people are going to walk away and go, 'Holy shit! Wait a minute, 25 minutes just went by?' But at the same time, you have a song from DREAM THEATER like 'I Walk Beside You'. Come on, that could have been on radio. That could have been, as far as I'm concerned, a U2 song. So it says that there's many layers to us.

"So when people say, 'Oh, you're DREAM THEATER, progressive metal,' I'm like, 'Yes, we are. But we're much more than that.' And progressive metal, I think it does describe who we are because there's an edge to our music, but there's a lot to us. There's the diversity and it's very eclectic, and we pull from several styles, and I think that's shaped us into who and what we are."

In a 2015 interview with Prog magazine, DREAM THEATER guitarist John Petrucci said that he and his bandmates "got a ton of criticism" for their songwriting approach. "They'd say our songs were too long, that we didn't know how to write songs, how the music was too complicated, the arrangements were too busy and how everyone was overplaying," he recalled. "But we just continued to do what we felt was right musically because that was just the kind of music we wanted to play together."

He added: "You have to ignore those criticisms as it only creates self‑doubt and then you get uneasy about what you're doing. If the music doesn't come from the heart, then it's all over. Now it turns out those qualities for which we were criticized were actually the ones that were embraced and praised, and even influenced other musicians."

"The Alien", a track from DREAM THEATER's latest album, 2021's "A View From The Top Of The World", landed the band its first-ever Grammy in the "Best Metal Performance" category at the 64th annual Grammy Awards, which was held in April 2022 in Las Vegas. DREAM THEATER's previous Grammy nominations were for the song "On The Backs Of Angels", from 2011's "A Dramatic Turn Of Events" album, and the single "The Enemy Inside" from 2013's "Dream Theater".

DREAM THEATER is on the road this summer presenting the first edition of "Dreamsonic". The trek will feature special guests Devin Townsend and ANIMALS AS LEADERS.

DREAM THEATER includes Petrucci, LaBrie, Jordan Rudess on keyboards, John Myung on bass, and Mike Mangini on drums. The band shares a unique bond with one of the most passionate fan bases around the globe as evidenced by their 15 million records sold worldwide. The 1992 opus "Images & Words" received a gold certification and landed on Rolling Stone's coveted "100 Greatest Metal Albums Of All Time." Guitar World placed the follow-up "Awake" at No. 1 on "Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994." The 1995 EP "A Change Of Seasons" provided the soundtrack for NBC's coverage of downhill skiing at the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Fans voted the 1999 "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory" the "Number One All-Time Progressive Rock Album" in a 2012 Rolling Stone poll. The album also was ranked as the "15th Greatest Concept Album" by Classic Rock. The 2009 album "Black Clouds & Silver Linings" crashed the Billboard 200 at No. 6. In 2019, the band continued to expand its audience when they released "Distance Over Time" to critical and commercial acclaim.

Corpsegrinder04

Сразу вспоминается Мановаровский Ахиллес, Эгони и Экстази - 30 минут отборного дерьма, которое на кассете всю сторону занимало.

Mich

Corpsegrinder04, Это да, таких "песен" можно писать бесконечное количество и любой длины - главное, побольше грома, молний, ржания коней, пафосных рассказов, соло на ударных минут на 10, и где-то среди этого периодическое "дж дж дж" с выкриками "power, glory, metal. hail and kill" - текст можно написать по вкусу )))

Mich, хорошо отжог

Ахиллес - великая композиция талантливой группы.
А дискография Dream Theater - набор всевозможных арпеджио, гамм, стаккато, тремоло и тп.

Mike Barlow, Чот я прям в голос орнул сейчас)
Спасибо! Позитива не хватает.

18 июн 2023

Mike Barlow

Starbreaker, Что позитив, это всегда пожалуйста. Но имею уточнить,что у театров кроме того есть ещё глиссандо и секвенции.

18 июн 2023

Starbreaker

Mike Barlow, А у талантливой группы Мановар в таких высокохудожественных композициях, как "Черные стрелы" или "Барабаны рока" есть секвенции и глиссанды?

18 июн 2023

Mike Barlow

Starbreaker, Несомненно, эти технические приемы использованы ими в некоторых художественных полотнах. Особенно обращает на себя внимание легендарная композиция "Мой дух летит прочь"/"Сегодня хороший день для смерти". Но в случае с Воинами техническое мастерство уравновешено композиторский талантом и чувством меры и служит средством, а не целью .
Театр же снов вообще страшные люди. Кажется они в самом деле пришли на сцену ради музыки, а не ради халявного секса и выпивки в гримерках. А это ещё хуже, чем барабанщик в поисках слабой доли.

Mike Barlow, Советую заценить альбомы DT, записанные с первым клавишником Кевином Муром.

Mike Barlow

Вашингтон Ирвинг, Да нет, не буду. Не хочу сводить все к троллингу, но у меня без шуток какая-то идиосинкразия на их звучание.
Притом что я не то, чтобы совсем ничего прогрессивного не слушаю. Но вот Ark, Savatage , или Magellan почему-то норм, а этих даже в девяностые Pull me under, на сборниках, пропускал.

18 июн 2023

Вашингтон Ирвинг

Mike Barlow, А, ну тогда просто не зашло, бывает. Соглашусь с тем, что на некоторых альбомах не достает им музыкальности, слышно, что тужились «чего бы такого эдакого придумать, чтоб удивить технически».

GlowoErzum

Ну, лично для меня, Октавариум (песня) - визитная карточка группы. Однако, в целом песен такого же уровня у них очень немного. Из всей дискографии дай бог наберётся 15-20 реально интересных треков.
