James LaBrie (the vocalist) is the number one reason why people dislike Dream Theater. They say it's his nasal Canadian voice coupled with the fact that he sings way, way up there in the register that turn them off.
When I first started listening to DT, I didn't pay much attention to the singer. I noticed he was very talented (being able to go really high) but didn't think anything of it. Having been a fan for a few years now (1-2), I find it very difficult to get into any other band "because the singer isn't James LaBrie." I know it's ironic, considering he's the reason most people don't like DT. I did manage to get into 1 band though, as they're in the same genre as - and directly influenced by - Dream Theater. They're a swedish Progressive Rock-band called Pain of Salvation. I only have one of their albums - Remedy Lane -, but it's easily as good as most of DT's stuff. I know the title of the band might be a little off-putting, but there's really nothing to that name in their music.

I really ought to get back on-topic, seeing as I started this thread.
What do you suppose snakes taste like? And wouldn't it be dangerous for this man just to kill some random animal and eating it? What if it was ill or diseased or carried some sort of virus? Call me a pessimist, but I'd rather not eat meat that hasn't been passed by some sort of health inspection. On the other hand, I've eaten fish I've caught myself, so I don't know...
