They're passionate about their musicianship.

They may be passionate about their music, but they are too busy fret wanking to notice a world is spinning out there.

PF across the board, not much else to say that hasn't been said..

Nobody milks out musical ideas better than Dream "On and On and On and On, it Goes" Theater. I consider the best Pink Floyd "Space Rock", but I'll take them anyway.

Although John Petrucci is quite the shredder, Dream Theater gets old quick. Pink Floyd is far more versatile and even though they don't have a so called "fret wanker" like Petrucci, they'd take the cake over Dream Theater in my book any day.


I should mention that I'm a guitar player (my influences include "fret wankers" the likes of Paul Gilbert and such) and I listen to more metal than anything else, and I still prefer Pink Floyd.

Shredding dosen't make you a better guitarist anyway.

Gilmour >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Petrucci.

Petrucci doesn't just shred. I don't think you can listen to his solo album and say something like that.

I haven't listened to his solo album, no. I haven't been boiled alive either, but I know it wouldn't be a pleasant experience.

Lol his one solo album vs. 9 dream theater albums.

If you like the guitar and would like to see Petrucci play a bit more soulfully, but still technical than check out his solo album. I will upload it if you want it.
