Thank you Rush and Iron Maiden! Rush is considered by many to be one of the pioneers of the prog rock music genre.

Answer: DOMINICI

In September 2010, a fan of Dream Theater discovered that all of the letters of "DOMINICI" fit together perfectly into the Majesty symbol. When Charlie discovered this, he laughed and mentioned that "it only took them 25 years to figure out the 'Dominici Code!'"

Answer: Steve Stone

In mid-1990, at a gig in New York, Dream Theater introduced Steve Stone as their new singer. They had successfully recorded demos with him, which can be seen on the "Images and Words" demos, though he only performed one live show with them that ended up disastrous, and Stone was fired immediately.

The band says he had been dancing around the stage in a rather odd manner, seemingly doing a bad impression of Bruce Dickinson. Also, he had infamously shouted 'Scream for me Long Beach!' several times throughout the show, although they were actually performing in Bayshore, embarrassing the band further. In January 1 9 9 1 , Kevin James LaBrie, of glam metal band Winter Rose, was flown from Canada to New York for an audition. LaBrie jammed on three songs with the band, and was immediately hired to fill the vocalist position

Answer: Light Fuse and Get Away

"Majesty Demos": 1. "Another Won" 2. "Your Majesty" 3. "A Vision" 4. "Two Far" 5. "Vital Star" 6. "March of the Tyrant"

"Light Fuse and Get Away" is from the album "When Dream and Day Unite".

Answer: Like Bruce Dickinson

Charlie Dominici was let go because the band was starting to feel the limitations of his voice based upon the vocal style they wanted. The band was looking for more of a Bruce Dickinson/Geoff Tate type of singer, and his stage presence was not what they wanted for a front man. Shortly after, however, the band Marillion asked Dream Theater to open for them at a gig at the Ritz in New York, so Dominici was given the opportunity to perform one last time.

It would be another two years before Dream Theater had a replacement vocalist.

Answer: A Rush song

According to the The "Score So Far..." documentary, they were waiting in line for tickets to a Rush concert at the Berklee Performance Center while listening to the band on a boom box. Portnoy commented that the ending of the song "Bastille Day" (from the album "Caress of Steel") sounded "majestic". It was then decided that Majesty would be the band's name.
