Dream Theater

Hello folks,

when I first heard "As I am" first vocal lines, I instantly thought of U2's "Elevation",
and given that the DT folks are indeed U2 fans, I said to mysel-f " why the hell not, a U2 tribute song on a Metallica tribute album is fine"

But yesterday I finally laid my hands on the new album,
and quite enjoyed it until "This is the life" where a vocal melody seems directly picked off Uriah Heep's "Illusion".With the same relaxed arrangement. And ,yes, " feed the illusion you dream about" is there,too..

I'm happy that the American folks still remember one of my favourite bands,
but a bit disgusted in general.

So...am I the only one who's heard UH in DT?

I can't say I know the song man. I'll youtube it sometime my internet isn't being such a lemecrepe, because that does interest me.

Wow. I just listened to it. That is INCREDIBLY similar. I wasn't familiar UH before this. You're right.
