If Disney Were a Heavy Rock Band…

by — February 23, 2009 in Music

…That band would be Majesty. Who is Majesty? Majesty is a product of the conjoined efforts of John Myung, Mike Portnoy, and John Petrucci; more widely recognized as Dream Theater. Dream Theater, originally formed by these three in 1985, is a heavy rock/progressive metal band that combines amazingly technical instrumentals with beautiful, yet experimental composition. Although they have mostly remained underground and probably won’t hit the mainstream epidemic, Dream Theater is definitely not a band to be underestimated.

What does this have to do with Disney? Well, I reiterate that if Disney were a heavy rock band, they would be Dream Theater. I only recently came across this magical band through my attempts to expand my musical horizons. Instantly, I was drawn in by the triumphant tones and emotional depth Dream Theater’s music brought to me. I assimilated this to Disney almost instantaneously while listening to Endless Sacrifice and only strengthened my feelings after hearing several other tracks. Their songs present simplified stories as many rock songs do; but more closely resembling the Disney theme, they have this powerful, yet circus-like appeal to them. One might easily fall into a trance with emotions in flux, morphing from bliss to sorrow then rising in triumph. It’s almost an inexplicable connection that I hope is seen by others. Either way, dive in and feel the power of Dream Theater for yourself…

...For eighteen years my mind was held captive by a robotic core nervous system controlled by a secret government paid project called the Asur System. They were able to subjugate my mind in accordance with their "system". Years were spent gathering bits of information and experiencing the events in between objectives. The help of a fated stranger, H, allowed me to free myself from the constraints instilled by the conglomeration. H was able to hack my system and provide me with the freedom to think completely on my own. It was only a matter of time before the conglomeration would get to H. The order was sent for me to take out the very individual who aided in my escape. Luckily, my new abilities had allowed me to combat my wicked ways. In my failure to execute my freer, the hit grew to both of us. After a years of running and hiding they caught up to us, but this time I wasn't able to hold them off. I managed to escape. H did not. Since that day dark day, I've stopped running. Now I am the one chasing. Every day is a beautifully orchestrated battle amongst a field of flowers. The war between the Asur and me is an endless one. Eternally, I absorb information and battle their D-Men as they come along; expanding my mind to fulfill the universe. I am Mr. O'siris

    Holy crap. My mind makes an association between Dream Theater (one of my favorite bands) and Disney, too…mine is a little different from yours, but I don’t think it’s too different…

    The feelings I get when listening to DT’s music are similar to the feelings I associate with nostalgia for days from my childhood including classic Disney stuff…like back when the Disney channel had things on it that were actually good, like “The Wonderful World of Disney” and whatnot…I remember sitting with my dad in his big reclining chair in front of the TV…

    I don’t know, stuff like that is what comes to mind often when I let their music really do what it wants to do with my mind. :3
