Well, to appreciate metal...

I guess you guys just have to be metal fans!

Dream Theater, Symphony X.. when it comes down to it is just metal.

But if you're going to complain about Dream Theater.. I mean.

I just don't think I've ever heard anyone say they're not musical enough. I mean... damn.

Hell, John Petrucci really isn't a solo guitarist. He's been in Dream Theater (and spending a lot of time with them) all throughout his entire career.

Composition is an essential part of being a musician. How can you say Jeff Beck is a top axeman..but not like his music? Playing the right notes is every bit (in many ways moreso) important than playing them well.
