Welcome to now knowing the most talented band in the world. Theyve only been my favorites for 30+ years lol. With the nicer stuff just as amazing! Cant wait to hear their new material with their original drummer back!
My father (David Epstein, credited on Kokomo as “David Blade”) worked with their producer for years before dream theater’s conception. Keith was my dad’s assistant sound engineer in his studio in the 70s and 80s. It’s insane hearing him talk about it, as my dad left the industry for buisness while Keith went on to produce dream theater, as well as several other bands. Makes me almost sad.
Dream Theater is a fantastic band that one would never hear except under 3 conditions: 1) Word of mouth from other fans 2) You are old enough to have listened to rock radio in 1992 when Pull Me Under charted and were instantly hooked because Images & Words was a fantastic album. 3) You discovered them through the Rock Band / Guitar Hero and discovered Pull Me Under on Guitar Hero World Tour, Panic Attack on Rock Band 2, or this song on Rock Band 4. DT songs are not radio friendly due to their length and making radio edits of DT songs tend to destroy their greatness. That's why their songs have typically never been on radio airwaves since 1992. It's actually somewhat of a miracle that they won a Grammy for The Alien a couple years ago.
The same for Rush when they first hit the scene in 1974 through 1980. The criteria for knowing they existed were: 1) Word of mouth 2) Word of mouth 3) Word of mouth They were reviewed in Rolling Stone magazine in 1975 by co-founder of Rolling Stone and later co-founder of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Jann Wenner as quoted: "This band is so bad they are almost unbearable to listen to. Geddy Lee's voice comes across as nails on a chalkboard and the only thing you will hear when he sings is Blah,Blah,Blah. It's incoherent babbling. Suffice to say, Rush will have no choice but to sell their albums out of the trunk of their car because in the next year or two, no one will remember them" Because of that one article, no one would give Rush a chance and it took literal word of mouth for them to move any units of album sales until 1981's Moving Pictures when on the back of "Tom Sawyer", they became a household name. They were rejected for 20 yrs of eligibility because Jann being on the RRHOF board rejected them until public outcry of a boycott on the hall forced his hand. Alex Lifeson's famous induction speech was blah, blah, blah, blah as a FU to Jann lol. Progressive rock/metal bands hardly get any love because most people just don't get it. It's sad.
@@MetalMcfly In spite of going against the grain (the "grain" being the music industry "establishment" at the time), they sold enough records in the 1970s to garner a very big following, especially after 2112 - enough to fill 20,000-seat arenas in their multiple tours (I saw them 4 times during that period, always to packed houses). As a DT/Rush fan, I agree with your last sentiment, though. :(
@@nexuslang Funny enough. I discovered DT through MTV of all places. The old Headbanger's Ball had a segment with the editor of Rip magazine. He played a clip of Pull Me Under and said if you liked Rush, give this band a listen. I've been hooked on them ever since and love seeing people react to them for the first time.
Fun fact: Mike Portnoy, the founding drummer who actually just recently returned to DT after leaving the band 13 years ago, is a huge Beatles fan (I saw you have several reactions of The Beatles). He cited many times Ringo Starr as his earliest influence on the drums. He even created a Beatles tribute band that also included Mr. Big's guitarist Paul Gilbert (I also saw you reacted to them). You should check out their tribute band called Yellow Matter Custard which was a reference to a beatles song called I Am The Walrus.
There are some songs where you can remember exactly where you were when you first heard it (or the group). It was late 1992, I was working in Pinole, CA (near Oakland) at a Safeway grocery store. I went on my lunchbreak in my car, rolled back into parking lot as the local radio station from San Jose (some underground metal station 92.3) played "PULL ME UNDER". I was starstruck gobsmacked flabberghasted. I couldn't stop listening - 7 minute song - was late to work cuz I didn't want to turn it off. Never heard anything like it. Later on my break I used a payphone to call the radio station and find out who it was. Never heard to DT before that. Next day I went out to Tower Records and bought their CD played it over and over - not a bad song on there! I was hooked. IF you watch/listen to Pull Me Under be sure not to watch the official video as it cuts out like 2 minutes of their great music. Just listen to the lyric video from the original CD. Song will blow you away! Later that song wound up being a "boss fight" in the Guitar Hero World Tour game.
portnoy is an incredible drummer. the drummer in this vid is mangini who is also an incredible drummer, but he's far too technical and robotic. portnoy has a lot more groove and feel. both are fantastic in their own ways.
@@u.v.s.5583 listen to his trilogy O3. It's fantastic, yet nobody has heard of it. concept album about a plot to destroy all life on earth by converting o2 oxygen into poisonous o3 gas and the main character knows it's going to happen and tries to stop it. weird af and very listenable.
You should check out the Images and Words album, along with the Awake album. Its some of James' best vocals ever, before he injured his voice. He's still pretty good later on and live, but those 2 studio albums were absolutely his best stuff :)
Luna park is an arena venue in Buenos Aires, Argentina (Dream Theater sold out 2 nights there in 2012) ... Dream Theater have built a significant global fanbase since they first started touring in 1992... and not just in North America. James LaBrie (vocals) has been w/ Dream Theater since 1991... John Petrucci (guitar) and John Myung (bass) met Mike Portnoy (drums) in college and decided to form the band Majesty... They changed the band name to Dream Theater in 1989 (The rights to the name 'Majesty' were already taken) after recording their debut album 'When Dream and day unite'... w/ (the late) vocalist Charlie Dominici and Kevin Moore (keyboards)... Between 1985 and 1991, Dream Theater only played occasional shows and spent much of those years rehearsing, writing or recording music... They were frustrated that 'When dream and day unite' got no promotion from their first record label. Dream Theater were huge fans of Rush but they wanted to be a progressive metal band that could fuse metal and non-metal influences... They were fans of Metallica, Iron Maiden, Fates Warning, Queensryche... and were also fans of progressive artists like early Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Queen, etc. Very technically challenging music to play live in concert... After extensively searching for the right vocalist, they finally found Canadian singer James LaBrie, who became the voice of Dream Theater. After changing labels, Dream Theater recorded 'Images and words' in 1992 and started touring for the first time... Radio stations started playing their single 'Pull me under'... then MTV put it on airplay and 'Images and words' sold gold in the US (half million copies) as Dream Theater also toured Europe and Japan. Keyboardist Kevin Moore quit the band in 1994 after recording their 3rd album 'Awake'... Derek Sherininan joined on keyboards from 1994 to 1998... Jordan Rudess (keyboards) joined Dream Theater in 1999 and has been w/ the band ever since. Subsequent Dream Theater albums like 'Falling into infinity' (1997)... 'Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a memory' (1999)... 'Six degrees of inner turbulence' (2002) ... 'Train of thought' (2003) and 'Octavarium' (2005) ... did not sell as well but still maintained Dream Theater's large, loyal fanbase... The band could write both heavy metal tracks and mellow numbers and alternated between short songs and epic tracks. Founding drummer Mike Portnoy quit Dream Theater in 2010 and was replaced by Mike Mangini (drums) who was on the Luna Park 2012 performance... Dream Theater carried on making successful records like 'A dramatic turn of events' (2011)...'Dream Theater' (2013, self-titled) 'Distance over time' (2019) ... The opportunity to reunite w/ original drummer Mike Portnoy came in 2023 when he attended a Dream Theater concert and they decided to work on a new album in 2024 w/ him and let drummer Mike Mangini go. Some other Dream Theater songs to check out - 'Pull me under' ... 'The glass prison' ... 'Another day' ... 'Caught in a web' ... 'Anna Lee' ... 'Constant motion' ... 'Trial of Tears'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘
No, the keyboard is not tilted sideways, and yes it is the camera angle!!!

They finally won a Grammy last year. That is the typical reaction from someone hearing Dream Theater for the first time. 19:58 I guess you noticed to not focus just on Petrucci’s guitar playing because you miss the greatness of the rest of the band.
I can understand. Some like more of a groove or something else. I am a big Rush fan and never got into DT as much as Rush. DT can never do the time changes so effortlessly and they are too metal for me sometimes.
Jordan's keyboard is on a gimble and he can rotate it on the vertical and horizontal axis. He also plays a keytar on stage standing in between the guitar and bass player.
James LaBrie took over on their second album, Images and Words. He suffered terrible food poisoning in Cuba on vacation in 1995 that ruptured his vocal cords. It took 10 years to get back to 98% of his original vocal range.
Watching someone read vaguely from Wikipeadia, get all het up about a mic stand and the angle of a keyboard, and sit with their mouth open...always entertaining.
You should try a band that has inspired DT - Fates Warning !!! Anything off of " a Pleasant shade of gray " would do. It's a concept album and is technically 1 song with something like 11 "chapters"
Yeah, if you like blues, that would be decent. The best thing certain members of Fates Warning ever did was to record the EP A Twist Of Fate. It is head and shoulders over the best material they made ever, and that includes the Guardian.
That is James LaBrie that is singing. May i recommend listening to Illumination Theory live in Boston for another song of theirs. They keyboard is on a swivel so it moves in all directions. This song is also the basis for their concept album Scenes From A Memory.
I think all 3 are. No one sounds like Tool. Rush is such a a chameleon band and no one changes time signatures so effortlessly and without many knowing. DT has everything one would want in a progressive metal band. All are great musicians and can-do great solos. There are just some bands that are just what they are DT, Rush, Tool, Pink and Pink Floyd are four that come to mind.
is this james labrie just with more weight? yes this is metal at it's finest. yes is his keyboard titled sideways? yes that bass solo was crazy yes does he have a snake mic stand? yes (did they just improvise that middle section and the outro) (yes) If you like the big vox on james, youd probably like the big vox on his contemporaries like Sir Russell Allen of Symphony X or Michael Akerfeldt of Opeth. If you want to go back in time a little, listen to Magnum Opus by Kansas (you can skip Carry On Wayward Son, it is a garbage single for radio and not a true example of their effortless musicianship). You can also try stuff by Yes or King Crimson or Fates Warning. If you like the metal stuff more than the progressive odd-timesignature stuff, you might like Power Metal - stuff like Blind Guardian or Judas Priest or Iced Earth. Huge vox, brutal riffs, songs about dragons and swords and kings or sci fi nonsense. All great.
Only true masters of music theory (or, at least the full range of fundamentals in a given genre of music) can just take such a stylistic detour from the actual original musical notation and IMPROVISE in such a way that what they play STILL sounds like it actually BELONGS to the original song. It's like they thought of all of the ways that the basic chords and riffs COULD be played and said, "Hey, let's improvise in a Calypso/Reggae style tonight." And then they pulled it off flawlessly.😮
Oh no. I would not have started off with this song if you never heard them. Something much more straightforward would be a great introduction. Pull me under, as I am, enemy inside
@@B00STICLES I don't think I would go any further if first DT song I ever heard was Under glass moon. It is so far out there, and I don't even like that direction. Metropolis pt 1 is a masterpiece and a great first song. Pull me under is fine, but not enough.
They wouldn't deny it. Rush is one of their biggest influences. They grew away from that sound in the later releases. This came from an album where the influence is really obvious
As a life long Rush fan, I found DT during Neil’s hiatus. An extremely talented and passionate group of musicians. I recommend that you go down the rabbit hole… absolutely worth it

I am a big Rush fan, and I was looking for new progressive rock when I found them. You can hear the influence of Rush amongst many metal bands.
Jordan Rudess uses a swivel stand for his keyboard and swings it around and tilts it toward the audience so they can see him play his intricate parts
yeah! That's awesome. I wonder if anyone else uses this
he tilts it all kinds of which ways but most of the time towards the audience when he does tilt it
@@nexuslang just like Lawrence Gowan of Styx!

One of my favorite DT songs. Their 1992 album Images and Words is one of the best albums EVER! The entire album should be reacted to.
This song and MANY others are the reason why I think there no other artist that comes close to the BRILLIANCE of DT ❤
Imagine hearing this for the 1st time in 1992
First time for me was 1995 I was 13 years old. That day I went from being 13 to 45 in music years.
Portion is a incredible drummer
Yeah I'll have a large portion of fries
@@cunjoz lol damn autocorrect

Literally a jaw dropping reaction 😮😮
Singer James Labrie has been a member on all albums except on their first one. His name was Charlie Dominici. He passed away last year by the way...
It rhymes. "He passed away...
by the way"
I really liked the first album with Charlie. The Killing Hand was probably his DT masterpiece.
@@u.v.s.5583 listen to his trilogy O3. It's fantastic, yet nobody has heard of it. concept album about a plot to destroy all life on earth by converting o2 oxygen into poisonous o3 gas and the main character knows it's going to happen and tries to stop it. weird af and very listenable.

Dream Theater doesn't ring my bell, but I totally understand why their fans are so fanatical. They are incredibly talented.
Don't give up them. Every album has a different feel and sound
Dream Theater take the long way home, So to speak... And Dream Theater fans are fine with that😁

Welcome to the club.
people need to stop recommending one of the final bosses of prog songs as first listens lol
Right, like would you like to listen to Tarkus, or Close to the Edge, or perhaps 2112 as a first introduction to the band? :")))))

Around 1645 minutes thats all improvised and not on the album. Just them jamming freely

You just can't play decent music without ripping off Rush. That is what Rush is. Same story with tool. AND Dream theater.
How about showing the video instead of a shadow? I'm done...UNSUBSCRIBE!!!
Douche. Go watch the original if that's what you want
