Through their words

“It definitely takes a certain attention span to be a Dream Theater fan.The fact that we use unusual arrangements and longer song lengths to develop ideas and tell a story can scare people off, because it’s not party music that you can just put on in the background. But the people who get it are passionate about it. I think they appreciate that we never phone it in, and they know that they can expect something interesting from us.” - John Petrucci



“Being a Dream Theater fan is a commitment, but I think that you get out of it what you put into it.Not everybody is willing to take the journey, but I think that if you’re willing to invest the time, it’s gonna be that much more fulfilling. And the reward for us is having these fans that have really stuck by us and helped to sustain us.” - Mike Portnoy

I agree. I do , I do , I do :) :)
