Dream Theater is shit.

All Shall Perish is better in every manner.

We Versus The Shark is better if you're going for pure technical skill.

OH GOD THANK YOU!
I've been searching for that song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlENwK26Ufk&playnext_from=TL&videos=F-tKws_VS-c) some months ago, and couldn't find it. Thanks again! :D

Back in topic ;
The Dillinger Escape Plan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHcYDlRomeM&feature=related), not really my taste, but people say they are skilled. meh.
Protest the Hero (http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/s/Heretics+and+Killers/2sFBeT), more accessible.
And search for bands labeled as math- if you want skilled bands.

Also, Aphex Twin (http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/s/Vordhosbn/2vy2fF) (proof (http://blogs.sun.com/plamere/resource/aphex%20twin.jpg)), Sonic Youth (http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/s/Rain+King/1OVyvo) (inb4 modern band), God is an Astronaut (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rr89FCGhEs)...

LOL @ pics, found a DEATH METAL band that has a very talented "screamoist" (? idk what you would call it) They're called Into Eternity, to understand how talented it is, watch the Music Videos. Not really my "taste" but its "good" i guess you could call it. And Dream Theater is still tops. The EARLY Dream Theater when they were very progressive, with all of their album long songs and intricate works (of art). o.-

Troo there.
If you want technical skill I recommend Here Comes The Kraken and Nile.
If you want music skill, metalcore would be the place to go. Technicality combined with musicality and metal.
All That Remains, Lamb of God, As I Lay Dying.
As far as musical talent goes, none other than Bach, that man will take you on a journey.

Modern can be interpreted in many ways....

Dream Theater? Now they I would say are Iron Maiden and Def Leppard rip offs...

Many modern bands are just ripping off sounds PERFECTED years ago... By the greats like, Metallica, Godsmack, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Slayer, Anthrax, etc..

So in answer to your quetion... The best modern band is Metallica, as they brought what these young punks have been destroying to life and mainstream in the 80's..

After reading your message, I think you are obviously a troll who just seek hating from the others.

Old bands are old bands. Saying that many modern bands are rip off of older bands is like saying that Tremulous is a bad rip off of Gloom.
Young Punks have destroyed life and mainstream music in the 80's ? Yeah, and that's why good (off course it depends of the pov) bands like Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Kraftwerk and Joy Division have post-punk influences.

Metallica best band ever ->  ;D. Everybody knows it's Miley Cyrus.

Which means = Metallica brought this type of music (grunge, thrash, heavy metal, whatever you wanna label it as) to life and mainstream success in the 1980's. And these new geek bands are destroying it.. Misquoting me to prove your point only makes you look stupid... No offense..

Sorry but your little bands there have got nothing... Metallica put out another album just last year, And they still outsold them. Death Magnetic... You kids need to look this type of thing up, maybe listen to some of these 'older' bands you say are so terribly old and see how these 'modern' dweebs took their sounds from the real bands back in the good ol'days.

Your failure to articulate does not mean an attempt to fail to comprehend, and it's quite silly to toss out insults when you can't make yourself understood.

That is the childish thing.

Sonic Youth was formed in 1981, Joy Division in 1976, Kraftwerk in 1970.
Metaliclol was formed in 1981, like Sonic Youth. And I don't think a trash metal band could influence new-wave bands like Joy Division or Kraftwerk, especially when this band was formed after them.

I like old band and I never said they were "terribly old". My grammar is not perfect, yeah, sorry for that, but whatever, you can understand what I say, can't you ?

Well when the truth is out there and you wish not to see it that is your problem.  I listen to a huge range of music, just no ghetto shit.

As far as you comments about the other bands being older etc,... and your point? I grant it your bands may be older, true, BUT they did not bring the type of music to the mainstream masses... It was Metallica and Slayer that did that. Before that the majority of rock listeners listen to glam rock... (Motley Crue, Def Leppard, KISS, ETC) Metallica was after a couple of those little New Wave geeks you mentioned, but they were the one to gain the monster success, the notoriety, and the staying power that is Metallica.  So, excuse me for showing that to you, bu they have the success and the records sales to back me up...

You wanna listen to New Wave? I dont care thats your choice... But when they are not really 'the most skilled bands EVAR<<<<People cant type any more I swear LOL  It will be pointed out.

Everything ever made, whether it is in music or elsewhere, is recycled back into culture somehow at one point or another. You're trying to tell me that Metallica was this amazing group of artists which created a sound never before heard by man? Puh-lease. Saying that the new bands are destroying a genre (AN ENTIRE GENRE MIND YOU) of music is entirely pointless because music is constantly evolving.
