I've been posting here for a while now, mainly in the genesis survivor but I never introduced myself properly so here goes.

My name is Erik and I live in Sweden. I'm seventeen years old and have been a DT fan for almost a year. My musical journey began when I was 12 years old and bought Guitar Hero. I soon discovered that the music there was a million times better than what was on the radio and I found my two first favorite bands: Iron Maiden and Avenged Sevenfold. These were the first bands that i listened to a lot. Guitar Hero also provided my first introduction to Dream Theater via "Pull Me Under". I thought it was a good song but I didn't dig in to it any more. When I was fifteen I started paying attention to the bands my dad used to play (Mainly Genesis and Marillion) and discovered that it was some high quality shit. When I rediscovered DT it was for me just a perfect balance between prog and metal and they have been my favorite band ever since. I am currently consuming more music than ever before and I am always open to suggestions.

Bands I am currently digging into:
Opeth
Rush
Haken
Post-Gabriel Genesis

Hey dude! Welcome to teh forumz.  :tup

Interestingly enough, I got into DT through Frets on Fire, a free Guitar Hero clone for the PC, where ITNOG was available as a custom download. By the time I had managed to get through the instrumental, I had fallen in love with the song.

Okay, I'd never have identified that guy as Peter Gabriel. Then again, I'm not that familiar with the guy, but still...

I plan on doing so - both Genesis and Gabriel are on my DTF-based recommendation list. Problem is that this list is soooo long that it might take time to reach him.

Have no fear, though, for his time shall come!

What? As the resident Fripp lookalike your favorite prog band can't be other than King Crimson.

Peter Gabriel era.

Sorry, I should have clarified that.

Nah, I haven't heard that much King Crimson. Just the first two albums.

Another noob here. 

I'm an historian / policy analyst, and metalhead lifer.  I first became a fan of DT when I saw the 'Pull Me Under' video on Muchmusic in 1993 or so, drifted away for years, but am now back in a big way.   

In the intervening years, thanks in part to this band, I became interested in old school progressive rock like King Crimson, Gabriel-era Genesis, and Captain Beefheart as well as technical metal like Watchtower, Cynic, and Anacrusis.  So in addition to liking DT's music, I also feel like I owe them something for this other stuff.   :smiley:
