Do you like Periphery's music and does it fit dream theater?

I'm like Periphery ok. But I think it's just a little weird for them to tour with DT. Seems like a better fit with All that remains tour. What do you guys think?

I dont like them to be honest. If I go, I will go in time for DT or just get the M&G ticket.

As always, I'd much rather see one band at a time. If more than one band is playing one night the chance of me being a fan (or close to) of both is like 10%. Waste of my time. Periphery is ok, but nothing that I would put on by myself every day. First part of the concert will probably be quite meh, as usual. I've seen only one booking with artists that I though were great on the same evening, The Four Tops and The Temptations. Both old Motown groups, so they couldn't miss. Within metal the difference between bands is often pretty huge, and I only like a very small percentage.

Just tried to listen to them, and kind of awkwardly remembered that I tried to listen to them one time before. I like some of it, but can't really stand the screamo vocals.

yes i like most of periphery's music.
probably not best suited as a DT opener - but really who cares? it'll be great shows regardless.

but in the grand scheme of things, does the opener matter? i can only think it would if it was general admission and you HAD to sit through a band you dont like.


anyway, its cool that jake bowen (periphery guitar player) did key tech for jordan on the octavarium tour, and now hes on stage opening

I dunno, it's about the tour with DT and whether the two bands fit together. I guess it could be moved to the Concerts & Setlists board, but then it would probably get ignored and that's more for concert discussion and review.

As for me, I love Periphery and think they fit as well with DT as most of their support bands have done.

I enjoy them lots. As my musical taste is diverse amongst diverse, Periphery and Dream Theater actually feels right.

And lol at periphery being fitting with All That Remains. Trivium fits with All That Remains more than Periphery.

that is true, but they dont like to broadcast it. in fact, im 98% sure they turned down trivium's spot on the US tour so they can do a headlining club tour

Yup, which I like because Periphery are playing at a small place called The Launchpad, which has a bar in the front and the stage in the back. The most intimate place in Albuquerque. You can meet the band pretty much, so lets hope I can go and possibly get a pic and autograph from these guys.

Personally don't think Trivium OR Periphery's sound fits DT.  I guess I am just not into the whole scream-o sound....  Actual SUNG lyrics are much better imho


My vote was No they don't fit.

Not too familiar with their music, been listening a little to them on spotify today and watched some low quality live vids on Youtube, not too impressed after all, but I guess it could be fun seeing them, the vocals is the biggest issue for me though.

Instrumentally I quite like Periphery, but I'm really not into the whole screamo vocals (hence why I only have the instrumental version of their album).

It will be interesting to see them open for DT, so I'll hold my judgement until I've seen it.

I'm not all that familiar with Periphery, but I also don't know how much it matters what kind of "fit" they are with DT.

People think they don't fit because of the singer? Why? I knew of their instrumental versions and think they fit even with their singer, whom I actually enjoy as he does cooler phrasing with his style.

when spencer joined the band the amount of butthurt was astronomical. hes been improving ever since and is able to scream very low and sing very high. ive always liked him, but hes a polarizing figure for sure

I don't mind his screaming but I wish he sang more. I think his clean vocals are damn good.

I think the fit their music just enough where they are perfect for opening. Kind of like Between the Buried and Me fit.
