In this point of my life, i would not be capable of define myself as fan of any special tipe of music or specific band, because i just love the whole concept of music, and i cannot choose something that represents, in a fragmented way, only a part of this abstract world of infinit sound mixes, so i have to aspire to the all in my search of the perfect representation of my body-mental-and emotional state in the moment, because its that notion, the all, the one who really fits to everyone at any moment, and makes music so special as a way of expression. i necessarily have to choose, then, any rhythm, any melody that moves me at that present time. But only for you, my dear classmates, y will tell you about the band that, in my naive adolescence and no-knoledge of the music as a whole, non fragmented human expression, i proclaim as my favourite: Dream Theater.

Dream Theater its a progressive rock band from usa. The band was formed in 1985 by three of the members, who were classmates in the prestigius music school called Berklee: John Petrucci, guitar, John Myung, bass, and Mike Portony, drums. The other “instruments”, as the keys, has been occupied by the talented Kevin Moore first, Derek Sherinian, and the actual one, Jordan Rudde; and the vocals has been in the power of Chirs Collins with almost null participation, then Charlie Dominici, who only reach the album debut, and at last one, the actual singer, James Labrie, from Canada.

They’re a very famous band and recognized as one of the best progressive bands in the world. Beside, some of their member are now some of the most influential musicians in the world. Their first album was called When dream and days unite”, realeased in 1989, and their latest release was in June of 2009, Black clouds and silver linings, completing 11 studio albums, plus a few live albums, and 20 years of succesuful carrer.

The topics of their music are extensive, from personal troubles to human dilemas, and love to nonsenses.

They have come to chile in 3 different times, i have seen them twice, the first time was the 6 of dicember of 2005, here, in santiago, in the most crowded dream theaters concert ever, with 20.000 music maniacs; and the second one, in 2008. The last time that they came was this year... but i dindt want to pay for it.
