'Images and Words' in Loudwire's March Metal Madness

[SeRoX]

I loved the one comment: "Dream Theater is music for gays."

I never realized, as a gay man, that that was why I liked DT! 

*btw, totally off topic, but just got engaged to my boyfriend. Yay lol!*

Oh wow! I'm honored. 

And congrats my friend.

DT's losing badly.  28% to 72% in favor of Megadeth

I guess Megadeth fans are the spammiest.

[Syzzle]

Nah Megadeth fans have to sleep but DT fans never sleep we wait

Wait for what? Wait for sleep?

[champbassist]

60-40 now.

[Rattlehead]

As good as Images is... sorry, but I had to vote for RIP.

[BlobVanDam]

Damn, Sabbath is getting their asses kicked in the other poll.

Which is unfortunate...Paranoid is a better album than Master

Ooh, that's a toughy for me. They're both about as classic as metal albums get, and both have a bunch of essential songs on them. Either one deserves to win the entire thing imo. It that seems a predictable outcome, well it's for good reason.

[TheGreatPretender]

I actually think Rust In Peace is pretty overrated. I'd take Countdown To Extinction or Cryptic Writings over RIP any day.

[Rattlehead]

Couldn't disagree more... RIP slays anything Megadeth has done besides Peace Sells imo. Every track is amazing, and on a "Metal Madness" poll, I didn't even think twice about voting RIP over I&W.

[champbassist]

Looks like we're up against fans of all our previous opponents combined. This is like a video game now - pre-final boss: Megadeth

[tuto]

Come on guys! Lets keep voting every hour. DT HAS to win this!

[The Stray Seed]

I'll keep up voting =)

Oh wow congrats!

Shit that's why DT has no girl fans, you can't be a gay man if you're a girl *disappears in a puff of logic*

[Shadow2222]

Haha, thanks gentaishinigami, SeRoX, and Mora!

I really appreciate it.

[wasteland]

Haha, thanks gentaishinigami, SeRoX, and Mora!

I really appreciate it.

That's really great news 

I would have loved to see their faces upon reading your message

Congrats, Shadow2222!

Maybe those DT haters took the misheard lyrics from You Not Me and Status Seeker too seriously

[SomeoneLikeHim]

I can't believe we're in the lead 

[TheGreatPretender]

I can't believe we're in the lead 

Our VICtory will surely RATTLE their HEADs!

[SeRoX]

It's one thing DT's offical twitter account constantly gives the link for voting and that's ok but when JP and JLB do that it feels weird.

Subtle.

Also, what's it with the "we"? Maybe I'm just weird, but I find it very strange to use in these circumstances. It's not us, it's the band.

But then I was also kinda flummoxed when my countrymen were proclaiming "We're Pope!" left, right and center after Benedict XVI had been elected, and I was the only one to feel like that, so...

[SomeoneLikeHim]

Well, I guess it's because I feel this is more a battle between the voters (us) rather than the actual bands. If that was the case they wouldn't allow multiple voting etc.

The pope thing is different. The country didn't do anything to make him pope.

[Scorpion]

Good point on the voters. Though it also makes the whole thing completely worthless.

[SomeoneLikeHim]

Isn't it?

I think the main point is getting DT more publicity.

[TheSilentHam]

Yes, the poll is worthless in regards to answering the question "Which album better?".  IMO that question has little value anyway.  We already know which album is more popular and has a wider audience.  Maybe the strong showing in support of I&W will at least motivate a few people to check it out if they had never heard of it before.

[Dream Team]

I actually think Rust In Peace is pretty overrated. I'd take Countdown To Extinction or Cryptic Writings over RIP any day.

Objective explanation for this? You prefer slower tempos? Less awesome riffs and solos?

[TheGreatPretender]

You call the riffs and solos less awesome, and ask for an objective explanation? Isn't that a little contradictory?

Keep Voting !

Dream theater = 51,99%
Megadeth = 48,01%

[TheGreatPretender]

Now that Megadeth is asking THEIR fans to vote on Facebook, they're probably gonna catch up as soon as they stop their butthurt-ness.

I like the one comment I read, "I how the hell can DT be winning!? I never even heard it!"

[Black Devil]

I cant stop laughing at comments like "How the hell megadeth lose against DT?"
Anyway, im sure, Dream Theater ask their Fans later again ( if they go down under 50%), then we will get all the Votes. After one hour Megadeth started asking, we still have far about 51% ( before: 53,80%).

[Scorpion]

What are you gonna do, people on the net are idiots.

Though I have to see out of the remaining four, Megadeth and DT are my personal favourites, though they are all great albums.

Metallica's gonna win. I'm calling it now. Last time I called AC/DC and DT won, so I'm calling it now just so that DT would win.

Megadeth, 'Rust in Peace'  49.11%   

 
Dream Theater, 'Images and Words'  50.89%

Keep voting!!

More votes > Better chances to win > More publicity > More people checking out IAW > More happy people > Better World.

Vore Dream Theater. For a better and happier world

I dunno, I still say that if anything, all those people who voted for the other band, would be more angry and spiteful at the fact that DT wins, that they'd shit talk the band, without even bothering to listen to it. It's already happening, and the polls aren't even over.
