Turn Back!
This blog is dedicated to the progressive metal band Dream Theater. And not in spirit!
This post is entierly devoted to Dream Theater, and their various apperances in rythmgames.
Yesterday marked their first apperance in a videogame, when the track "Constant Motion" was released as DLC for Rock Band.
My internet, amount of IPs and router are zarked so I have jet to expirience Online play. Anyway.
The track is awesome and one pf the hardest tracks released for Rock Band, in terms of guitar game play.
If one should descripe the chart for the solo, one could say something like this:
Imagine the hardest parts of Jordan by Buckethead, those are in there.
Now stick that machinegun part of One by Metallica on the end and you got constant motion.
John Petrucci must have killed a couple of plastic controllers yesterday.
But there is more to come!
DReam Theater will be in Rock Band 2 as well. And Rock Revolution. A Guitar Hero Worldtour apperance is rumored as well, but GH:W is banned from this blog ever since they included "Low" in the soundtrack. (Bunch of mainstream Emo and Rap loving idiots)
The track for RB2 will be Panic Attack, from the very awesome album Octavarium, which is  great track, and the solo has a little more restrain .
The track for Rock Revolution is Pull Me Under. Which became a moderate radiohit (Dream Theate´s coplication album is (un)officialy called "Pull Me Under And 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs")
This track is not good, it is not great, it is awesome. This track migth be the reason i buy RR. (if I buy it that is)
But what I really want to do in this blog is to put some ideas out there. (And get you to buy some goddamn Dream Theater)
The currenct ammount of Dream Theater is appaling.
There should be way more tracks avalible from this awesome band. I like to remind you dear reader that we had an entire album be The Cars, ( no offence to any kind of petrol based transportation) and ONE song by Dream Theater.
I have couple of suggestions for DLC song from this awesome band, but I will air those out after arguing for the release of this.
Dream Theater is one of the bands with the most skilled musicians. Any Dream Theater song will  belong in the top tiers as far as Guitar, Drums and Bass goes.
And not in the same way that a Metallica song does.
The problem with many bands is that you can´t hear anything but the guitar and the vocals. ( I believe that the Metallica bassist is comepletely useless and inaudible)
Dream Theater (along with Rush) doesn´t have this problem, you can hear the shit your playing, even if it is the bassline.
The inclusion of Dream Theater could also pave the way for more long tracks in rmusic games.
I was well beyond stocked, when I heard about the live Who tracks coming for RB. But the live version of My Genration was ass raped into a third of the original length, (from 15 to 5 minutes) not as bad as a Travis Barker "remixes", but it is up there.
If we could have a 10 minute Dream Theater song it would be great. If we could have a 24 minute track it would be a bit to much for some, but not for me .(Trapped inside this Octavarium!)
We need more tracks for the hardcore music lover who has the paitience for the long songs.
Admit it you liked Foreplay / Longtime and Greengrass from RB and you want more, more song and more minutes.
In short:
Give us some damn Dream Theater guys!
Which track should they give us?
I have a selection ready (all DLC for Rock Band (2))  and her it is:

Single tracks:
Pull Me Under from Images and Words
Metropolis Part 1 from Images and Words
Home from Scenes From a Memory
Octavarium from Octavarium
In The Presence of Enemies from Systematic Chaos
The Ministry Of Lost Souls from Systematic Chaos

Full album:
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

This is Now a very epic blog post, so I will cut it off here. More tracks might be added so hang thight.
And as the end:
Big shout out to Pelle for introducing me to Dream Theater
