The Majesty Demos are the first recorded attempts of progressive metal band Dream Theater, under their original name, Majesty. The original 1986 tape contained six tracks which were recorded on Mike Portnoy's analog 4-track recorder, and another 4-track recorder obtained from friends at Berklee. Only 1,000 copies were pressed on cassette tape and distributed to fans and rock and metal magazines. Portnoy gave one copy to Jim Matheos of Fates Warning.
The line-up was: Kevin Moore, John Myung, John Petrucci and Portnoy. Chris Collins, the band's then-vocalist, was introduced to the band after a friend heard a demo of him singing a note-for-note version of Queensrÿche's "Queen of the Ryche".[citation needed]
