After that, they want to do smth fill two vacant places in the band, and Petrucci said band to a friend, Kevin Moore, to be the keyboard. He agreed, and when Chris Collins invited to become a vocalist, the band is already complete.

With five members, they decided to name the band with the name Majesty. According to the documentation DVD Score, berlima they are mengantri tickets for the Rush concert at the Berklee Performance Center while listening to Rush with a boom box. Portnoy said that the ending of the song (Bastille Day) sounded very "Majestic". At the time they decided that Majesty is a good name for a band, and keep it until now.

At the time - time is, Portnoy, Petrucci and Myung still berkutat with their study, also with a part-time work and teaching. Schedule them to be stiff competition, so they must decide between pursuing a career in the music or the band Majesty. However, eventually they win and Majesty smth out of Berklee to concentrate on the music career.

Characteristics of writing songs

Some of the techniques of writing songs that have made unique by Dream Theater, which mostly occurred in the period - a period now, when they can experiment with their own record label.

Starting with the Train of Thought, Dream Theater have started to enter the element - a small and hidden elements in their music, and includes elements peminat to the more fanatical. Characteristics of the most famous (which is called the "nugget") in "In the Name of God", which is the Morse code of "eat my ass and balls" (to eat pantatku and penisku), which is the word - a word from the famous Mike Portnoy . Since then, many peminat - Dream Theater peminat start trying to find things - small things which are not interesting for peminat usual.

Some of their techniques, including the famous:


* Voters in the ending of fonograf from "Finally Free" on the album Scenes from a Memory is the same voice in the prefix of "The Glass Prison" on the next album, Six Degrees of Inner turbulence. And ending the last key in the "As I Am" with the same key used on the next album, Train of Thought. Also, the piano is not played in the ending "In the Name of God" in the 'Train of Thought is not the same with the opening of "The Root of All Evil" on the next album, Octavarium.



* Three of "The Glass Prison" on Six Degrees of Inner turbulence, the two parts of "This Dying Soul" at the Train of Thought and the two parts of "The Root of All Evil" on Octavarium show the first seven points of the twelve points -- points in the program Alcoholics Anonymous by Bill Wilson, a program which was followed by Mike Portnoy. He also said that he will make the songs - songs that include the five other programs, which will be directed to Wilson



* Dream Theater sometimes use the technique of writing a song where part - part of a song to be developed each time they played. For example, the song "6:00" from Awake. After the initial songs, they almost play chorus, but repeat the song again from the leading (in the minute 1:33). And when the chorus should have been played on the next time, they repeat again from the prefix, in 2:11 minutes. This technique can also be found in the "Peruvian Skies", "Blind Faith" and "Endless sacrifice"



* Use the repeat notation - also re-used, which are well known from the song - a song Charles Ives, for example:

o The theme song "Wait for Sleep" appears in the "Learning to Live" (8:11 mins) and also appeared twice on "Just Let Me Breath" (3:39 and 5:21 minutes)

o The theme song "Learning to Live" appeared in "Another Day" (2:53 mins)

o The theme song "Space-Dye Vest" is used several times in the album Awake.

o The theme of the opening of "Erotomania" is used in the "Voices" in Awake (4:51 minutes).

o One of the melody - melody in "Metropolis Pt 1 (The Miracle and the sleeper)" repeated in the second chorus in "Home" from Metropolis Pt 2 (Scenes From A Memory), with only one word conversion. Some lyrics from "Metropolis Pt 1" is used in the "Home". Basically, the entire album "Scenes From A Memory" full of musical / lirikal / conceptual variations of elements - elements from the musical "Metropolis Pt 1" and "The Dance of Eternity" is actually constructed from variations - variations in the elements of the music track - a track in album.

o Part - baguan of each song on the album "Octavarium" has been used in the fifth from the same titled song, "Octavarium".





* Six Degrees of Inner turbulence, six studio albums to them, to load songs and have six characters - six characters in the title - the title songs. Train of Thought, seven studio albums to their load of seven songs. Octavarium, eight studio albums to their load eight songs and album title is taken from Octo word, which is a Latin word that means eight, meaning that one octave of the musical term, which is not the distance from one to eight is not not in gamut diatonik . More titles from this CD is 24 minutes, multiple of 8. The front page of album also includes characters - characters with 5 and 8. For example, a set of boxes - boxes and white boxes - black boxes, have a sense of one octave piano.



* The song "Octavarium" used to want to end with a flute that is similar to an echo song. But not replaced with the same piano from an album Octavarium. Mike Portnoy has said that the leading series - album ending akan stop here, because the upcoming ninth album will not begin with the suffixes "Octavarium"
