Pick #2: Take A Seat and Enjoy-You're At the Dream Theater!
I Walk Beside You
Dream Theater, Octavarium 2005
Welcome to the Dream Theater. Today's act: the best damn progressive modern rock band in America, and probably the world. Initially known as Majesty, the band changed its name early on and hasn't missed a beat ever since. From its founding in 1985 until now, the band has undergone a number of changes, but has remained true to its commitment of making music with the world's best rock instrumentalists. Look out for Mike Portnoy, Dream Theater's kickass drummer, and the youngest to be inducted into the Modern Drummers Hall of Fame, as well as the always guitar flaming John Petrucci. Dream Theater, like Rush, is probably one of the most underrated hard rock bands on Planet Earth, and gets little radio airtime. But check out their live DVD's and you'll be as angry as us about that. Any rock fantasy or genre you cater to, the boys from Dream Theater will leave you speechless, no doubt. So what are you waiting for, come and see the show that's taking the rock world by storm! Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Pick#1: Not A Bad Way to Start
Hearts Burst Into Fire
Bullet For My Valentine, Scream Aim Fire 2008
If you can understand a person from Wales, then, hey, more power to you. But if you can dig the lively and intense ripping sound of metalcore band Bullet For My Valentine, well then you're most definitely in the asset column. With the always shell shocking vocals of Matt Tuck, fused with the bombastic guitar playing of Michael Paget, it's only a matter of time before this group plays their way to the cream of the crop in the metal world. And their newest album, Scream Aim Fire, kicks off that very journey. Released in January of '08, the record has hit number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 525,000 copies worldwide. Check out the biggest track on the album, Hearts Burst Into Fire, which was featured in the video game NHL 09, and happens to be the intro song to our radio show: NHL 2K9. So listen and learn folks, the Welsh ain't coherent, but you better believe their music is!
