Yes, they had some progressive elements on their albums. They're actual musicians with actual talent. But lyrically and musically, there's absolutely nothing else that the two have in common. Not songwriting-wise, not material-wise, and not virtuoso-wise. It's cute that Kip would think otherwise though.
"Our band was known to musicians, and a lot of musicians showed up to see me play - watching trying to figure out how I'm playing - we were like the 'hair band' [version of] Dream Theater -- That is why it's the great irony that we ended up on that geeky guy's shirt on Beavis & Butthead, because Metallica couldn't play what we play, they couldn't do it, they literally - technically couldn't do it. And I'll fucking challenge those chumps to that any day of the week, but we could play their music with our hands tied behind our back. And so, I was a little t'd off about that, but in the end, none of that shit matters..."

SHE IS THE ULTIMATE FANGIRL OF ALL THINGS DREAM THEATER.

A band that sings a song with the lyric "she's only seventeen ...", versus a band who did a concept album about Sarajevo.
Verdict: Kip Winger's a fucking tool. If anybody's getting the Dream Theater comparison, it's Queensryche.
