More about Dream Theater and their career

Dream Theater was formed in 1985 as a collaboration between guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, and drummer Mike Portnoy while they were attending Berkley College.

The band released their debut studio album, When Dream and Day Unite, which failed to make the charts. This resulted in the replacement of vocalist Charlie Dominici with Kevin James LaBrie in 1991.

The band achieved critical acclaim with their tenth studio album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings, which was released on June 23, 2009. The album peaked at number 6 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
