Dream Theater, one of the greatest progressive metal bands who ever existed, encounters a strange phenomenon when they're transported to the land of Equestria in the middle of one of their shows.
Despite assistance from the princesses, the earliest they can return to Earth is within a few days minimum. Thankfully, the ponies do the best they can to accommodate their strange new guests, who soon become their friends.
Special thanks to user Sabre for editing this story.
Prog. Metal Band X Pony crossover.
This site never ceaces to amaze/horrify me.
Finally!! A metal crossover that isn't based around techno or pop.
KEEP IT UP!! \m/\m/
So I wasn't the only person to think this is a great idea! Nice bro keep it up!
There needs to be more metal crossovers, and more of this excellent story. I love it all ready keep up the good work
why not the movie JackAss crossover? THAT would be so funny if you use that idea for a story *thank me
961647 Because that would be something funnier seen rather than read.
but are you up to the challenge to possibly write it?
This is relevant to my interests.
I bet the four dislikes are metal haters lol
I'm not sure you're a strong enough writer to pull this off, because with a out-of-left-field crossover like this, you better do something epic. Not the casual kind of epic that's thrown around by dumb teens and such, but I mean Fallout: Equestria epic. I have put my faith in you, sir.
961866 What would you even suggest? I'm not sending the band out on a huge swashbuckling adventure if that's what you're hinting at.
Anything that has Dream Theater in it, I shall like
speaking of Dream Theater....try listening to this in one sitting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhck33eDlcY&feature=related
i really what to know what happened next
966109 IMMA WORKIN' ON IT!

Are you kidding me? This is Dream Theater teleported into Equestria, why would you NOT go all out? I really don't give a fuck, just do something with this concept that's not just "get human back to earth with some hijinks". You can't make a story on concept alone, there needs to be a good execution as well.
967370 To answer your question: because it's fucking Dream Theater, not the Expendables. And who says that "good execution" means throwing in some massive, epic adventure? The Slice of Life category was used for a reason.
967398
Then this will be just some generic Human in Equestria fanfic.
Why would you take an awesome concept and make it into a slice of life, generic mess?
967452 Because it's my story, and I can do whatever I want with it. Don't like it? Feel free to hit the dislike button. The amount of fucks I could give is ungodly low.
when will u finish the story can i know cuz i relly what to know what happened next
969633 Wait...
ok
All I can say is that this cannot be updated fast enough you are doing a great job
i relly wish it could be updated relly quick so i see what will happen next
You know, after reading this chapter, I just want to write my own band in equestria story. Then I remeber that I am a terrible author, so the world will have to go without Slayer in Equestria for some time. Never the less this is so awesome, I can't wait to see how the poines react to there music. It will be the best part.
961674 I think you're on to something there...
QUICK! I need animators, voice actors, and rubber bands! Lots and lots of rubber bands.
962538 I did three times. Twice during a long car trip, and once when I played all five segments of the suite... at a BAR!
HOLY SHIT, I'M FUCKING DANGEROUS!!!
I need to see more pls
K thank you bye
1498965 I'm sorry, but I really haven't been taking this story anywhere. Like I've said, I really appreciate what you've done for my story, and I'd love for you to edit a story I'm currently developing (that will involve similar music), but this story just isn't cutting it for me anymore.
I only hope you can understand.

Probably too late to say this, but like...
I told you so.

Good job, one problem. John myung doesnt ever speak, he is a mythical creature that spends every second of every day playing bass guitar and comunicates with a secret language of notes and rhythms. But seriously the dude never talks. Also, what would it be like if buckethead got sent there and he stayed in character
Okay, calling it now. John Myung strikes up a friendship with either Fluttershy, Big Mac, Marble or Maud.
Also, Luna fangirling is just the cutest thing.
Absolutely spot-on characterization. All throughout, actually, but especially that moment.
So that's where John Petrucci got the inspiration for The Astonishing!
YES! I WAS RIGHT! Well, kind of. I don't know why I included Marble and Maud in that prediction. Did I forget that Maud hadn't been invented yet and Marble hadn't been revealed to be shy yet? Yes. Yes, I did. Anyway, MyShy is new best ship!
It's too bad that this story won't be continuing, but on the other hand, this does seem like an alright place to end it.
You got Myung's and Fluttershy's relationship taking off, Jordan getting a gig, Petrucci in his natural habitat, James just kind of doing whatever, as James does, and Mike concluding the story with what we all would probably say in the same scenario.
Anyway, great story; I thank you for it.
