problem of almost any musician, when you see a music store you always wanna go in there and buy everything but usually you only have money for picks :/
I'm confident this guy is sitting near the top of improvisational artists today, as far as sheer practice volume and technical ingenuinity. He seems completely unprecedented and unique, yet his influence is ubiquitous.
***** With my thumb in my anus I can do more true music than Jordan Rudess with any instrument. They guy is super overrated cause hes not a real musician, just a keyboard technical nerd.
I just don't understand how you think his piano skills can't compare to your thumb in your ass. He's really good, while you might not love the type of music he creates, he's still plays fast and steady and knows his music better than anyone else I've seen. Don't call him shit considering where he's gone with his talent.
From a technical perspective Jordan definitely outshines Moore and Sherinian. But there's something to be said about that classic Dream Theater sound. Sound sampling, neo-classical shred, and a more avant-garde approach. Now they're just another run-of-the-mill symphonic metal band, like Dimmu Borgir or Symphony X.
Jay MacDonnell Portnoy s Exit changed the band Mangini is great drummer but Portnoy was the essence of that band was his baby he's very happy now with the success of the Winery Dog's that's for sure it's what he wanted guess 25 years of prog was enough he accomplished much in his career youngest drummer to be inducted into the Drummers Hall Of Fame that alone is something though I think Marco Minnerman should have got that gig he clearly had the chemistry with the band shame would have been a different sound for sure with him behind the kit
We're talking about Rudess not Portnoy. Portnoy's influence is undeniable. He founded the band. Rudess coming in 14 years after DT started is a little different. He's a symphonic, classic prog guy, influenced by groups like Genesis, ELP, King Krimson, Deep Purple and of course his own classical Julliard background. DT is and always has been a group with the heaviness of Metallica and the creative, technicality of Rush. So incorporating Jordan's style was a gradual process.
I miss 48th Street in NYC as well. I can't remember if it was Sam Ash or Manny's but I was there on a weekday afternoon in the late 1980's or early 1990's when an entire entourage came into the store. Of course it drew everyone's attention and we all realized that Stevie Wonder had come in to try out some new keyboards. Amazing!
I remember a small music instrument shop in Bremerton, WA. I stopped there the first time and playing a few keyboards and pianos and the owner came out to talk to me, and even meeting me the first time, he gave me an acoustic piano, even delivered to my place that was outside of town on the other side of the sound. Told me all I had to do was do a gig with him. Was sad to hear the store isn't around anymore.
Its amazing how many keyboards are in this little hallway, meanwhile massive Sam Ash's and Guitar Centers and don't even have as many here in The States...
I spent the most awkward eye contact with this guy during his keytar solo when the opened for Maiden years ago. They were so out of place and they all knew it as we in the pit just stared...
Someone needs to make a spoof of this titled "What someone screwing around with the keyboards in a music store ACTUALLY sounds like" and just have someone making obnoxious sounds on all of them, lmao.
You got to understand Jordan and I grew up with Kieth Emerson, we both went to Julliard for years yet classical was not our thing after a while. I stuck it out for a couple of more years unlike Jordan, he left before he was twenty
In the mid-1990's I flew from London to New York to buy six Sennheiser radio mic kits from Sam Ash. It was cheaper to do that than buy the same 6 systems in London. It also meant "cough, cough" that I didn't have to pay taxes.
Imagine what this guy could do if he actually owned a keyboard rather than just practice in music stores.
Samuel Betes yeah I know. It was a joke.😀
@@samuelbetes3474 r wooooooosh
Maybe he could go on to feature in some prog rock band or two.
Yeah.. he can play n practice keyboard in ma house
Damn this guy is talented, he should join a band or something
that smile after each keyboard just means, "can't help it man.. can't help being awesome"
Hi
tell me please the title song minute 2:28
@@AzizChocho Beethoven - Rage Over a Lost Penny
The shop owner can write "This keyboard had been played by Jordan Rudes", put it in, and increase the price. 🤣
Unfortunately he doesn't know him. 😂
I would do the same. It will be on collectors edition
lol
Exactly@@Svasprod
I’ll ask Jordan playing every keyboard in my store and sign on them, no play no go.
I appreciate how Jordan shreds insanely for 30 secs on a random keyboard then look at the camera and simply smiles
problem of almost any musician, when you see a music store you always wanna go in there and buy everything but usually you only have money for picks :/
Alex Suxiashvili bahaha
Hahahahahahahahaha it's true
😭😭😭
Relate much. Hahahahaha. Damn!
Sometimes I get a little over-enthousiast and I buy a set of strings. Uhu.
Jordan walking around making non-professional musicians reconsider their piano career. This is what this video is.
Celari Laughed hard at this!! hahaha : - D
Celari Or getting inspired to be like him. That's more likely.
@@JohanBrodd yeah that's more what a Profesional would do.
bacot
Yes, crushing hopes and dreams since 1999
you know you're good when even asian people are impressed by your keyboard skills
asian people "aahhh this guy reminds me of my 5 yo daughter"
The only reason the band it's not called Dorimu Fitta it's because western audiences would have problem to understand
So happy for the guy of the photo in middle of the street :) once in a lifetime feeling :)
Max Cioffi same here
Every store owner is looking at Mr. Rudess playing and thinking to themselves, "Buy something, you bastard!"
I have been a firm believer that when he isn't touring or recording in the studio, he just roams the world looking for keyboards to play in public
Jordan Rudess is one of my inspiration to continue my keyboard learning despite being lazy on practice.
I'm so happy to know that I'm not the only one who loves playing Tarkus on the Organ settings at the keyboard section!
Jordan Rudess after playing anything: "hehe"
I'm confident this guy is sitting near the top of improvisational artists today, as far as sheer practice volume and technical ingenuinity. He seems completely unprecedented and unique, yet his influence is ubiquitous.
Every instruments have been played by Rudess should have its price raised.
Yes
Imagine being able to wake up every day as Jordan Rudess...I'm jealous
What a treat to walk into a store and find this magician!
I love how he just graces everyone in the store so nonchalantly and then the guy filmed him after Jordan being in the store for about 15 seconds
Okay, so Tokyo just has 6 or 7 music stores on every other street.
They have it going on.
It's just this area of Tokyo
did they realized a god just visiting around the shop? lol
***** With my thumb in my anus I can do more true music than Jordan Rudess with any instrument. They guy is super overrated cause hes not a real musician, just a keyboard technical nerd.
You'll think twice if you just go listen to his work.
*****
Are you saying that listening to him live will be a different experience than listening him playing on youtube ?
I just don't understand how you think his piano skills can't compare to your thumb in your ass. He's really good, while you might not love the type of music he creates, he's still plays fast and steady and knows his music better than anyone else I've seen.

"he plays fast and steady" SEE ??? you know shit about music. Sorry but youre wasting my time.
Just love the smile he does after playing.
Awesome keyboard player..his addition to DT was like Neil Peart to Rush. Major Upgrade
Wise words

Yes this is true guy is amazing keyboard player and those influences you mentioned are evident
very inspiring is Jordan's playing. I'm new to the keyboard. can't wait to get playing :)
I died when Jordan played Tarkus
What, so you haven't checked his cover album with the Drummer from Dixie Dregs?
RIP
that's the best moment! Rudess is Emerson fan for sure
1:41 and 1:58
GMGuitar I think he plays Benny the Bouncer around 2:13

Jordan is such a cool dude!
i love how at 2:34 he plays over the price tag and still does a good job :D

Seems like a very gracious man. I enjoyed this snippet.
He should be in a band
😂😂
Maybe he should audition for Dream Theatre 🤔
I have so much respect for this man
Playng so calmly. Incredible this dude
I just luv going into musical instrument shops and playing all the keyborads
Now you're just showing off..... DECADES of practice. This is what Absolute Mastery looks like, folks.
1:04 The lick.... in tripple time :D
Justin Hombach WHAT SCALE IS THAT HES IMPROVISING OVER?!? Is that even a scale ....?
Gerron Marquel he's using many scales not just one
It's you!
I wonder if the people around, specially the young ones, excluding obviously the dude who asked for a photo, are aware of WHO Rudess is, lol.
Give those kids a break. Not their fault. Im sure when you see mozart on the streets you wouldn't recognize him too
this guy should be the sole music creator for all of gaming.
hes like a sunshine in one's day, always smiling!
I don't know how this guy gets up every day, sees his beard in the mirror and thinks "yeah, that looks great"
because
He's a celeb.. whatever celebs do it's fashion.. if we do the same thing..then it's ugly
wizard of beards, ops, keyboards.
I'm more curious about how he gets up and realize he's one of keyboard god in universe. That probably the best feeling ever.
HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
1:57 Tarkus ostinato but with his right hand
1:41 don't worry Jordan, I didn't miss your little Tarkus homage ;)
It must be a great feeling to know that probalby every owner of a keyboard store knows your face and name :D
4:05 Jordan gives me a "my human vessel is starting to decay" kinda feel...
Its amazing how many keyboards are in this little hallway, meanwhile massive Sam Ash's and Guitar Centers and don't even have as many here in The States...
Esse cara é de outro planeta!
toca muito!!
When he play and smile at the camera, he looks a bit like Vin Diesel..
I would be Star Struck if I saw this
happening at my local music! 😎
Me too
I love these types of videos.
おー凄い！自分もよく行くこの街にジョーダンルーデスが遊びに来てたとは！
He’s actually pretty good. I wonder if he dreams about playing in a theater someday.
Nice composer and pianist! Legend!!!
Seems like a chill guy some one I would like to hang out with. :)
I wish I took my piano lessons way back when seriously.
I spent the most awkward eye contact with this guy during his keytar solo when the opened for Maiden years ago. They were so out of place and they all knew it as we in the pit just stared...
すっげー日本に魔法使いが舞い降りた！！
The amount of times I’ve walked where he’s walking is insane to me
Someone bought those keyboards and used them without ever knowing Jordan Rudess touched it
El fin de semana de todos, absolutamente todos: ...
Mi fin de semana: Acá paseando con Jordan en la Colón viendo casas de instrumentos musicales.
I'd love to visit Japan some day.
Legend has it...when Jordan left the store , they doubled the price 4 all the keyboards he played
modern day Mozart! it's like keyboard is already a part of jordan's body, just amazing..
And playing tarkus? Amazing!
BEST 'VLOG' I EVER WATCHED
60 years of experience and practicing!
どんな鍵盤楽器でも彼が演奏すれば最高の楽器になる。それがジョーダン・ルーデス。
Indeed JR Line in Japan are named after Jordan Rudess...
"It's all about the levels". Perfect! :-)
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻always great Jordan 🙏
Imagine randomly encountering Jordan rides playing Emerson lake and Palmer in a random music shop on Tokyo that would be insane
This must have been around the time Dream Theater played at Loud Park. I was at that show; they were awesome.
Jordan looks like a wizard walking on the streets 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed so hard when I read your comment lol
Gandalf the BEARD😂😂😂😂
That's cool Jordan gets recognized randomly on the streets of Japan.
whoa, that is some trippy distortion at 4:37
He was walking on the street like a sensei Master of keyboard xD
This is Dream Theatre's Legendary Keyboard/Piano/Synth player. Check him out with the Band. He is with John Petrucci
whoa...2:30 ode to a lost penny or something.. I learned this song in a piano class about ten years ago!
Chow de inteligencia..e tecnologia..parabens..eu admiro muito suas musicas seus videos..RUDES VOCE É UM TOM MUSICAL..
0:55 He could played what he need to play. He is The God of Piano and Keyboards :)
Dude doesn't just tickle the ivories. He has them side splitting in laughter and hysteria.
No asian impressed 🤣
The shop owner think "Ah my son can do better than that" 🤣
Lol asians are only better on playing songs they didn't write, that's it.
@@deathoftheendless001 Bullshit :) They are even better writers than the others countries
@@CryingMoon61 any piece/music that can support your claim?
Go check A2C/Mintjam, Daisuke Kurosawa, G5 Project and many more foto example

you said it, Mann....if I saw Jordan in a music shop I would just walk in get my shit an run..
Great Jordan Blessed man
i just love this guy!!!!!
If I encountered Jordan in music store I definitely buy a keyboard and get some autograph 😅😅😅
Super cool person!
He seems pretty fixated on Keith Emerson's stuff-Tarkus and Benny the Bouncer
+john “cooley88” smith Nothing wrong with that.
You got to understand Jordan and I grew up with Kieth Emerson, we both went to Julliard for years yet classical was not our thing after a while. I stuck it out for a couple of more years unlike Jordan, he left before he was twenty
Emerson is the greatest keyboardist that ever was in my opinion. I am glad Jordan keeps up the heratige.
the keyboard went up in price...signature psr!
For some reason he reminds me of Mr. Rogers... And that's awesome!
お遊びの試し弾きがエグすぎるw
5:45 .... what is sounds is Jeff Beck "you never know" .... cool song
Leonardo C no it’s not, it’s led boots
Looks like they prepared to the visit of the Keyboard God. Instruments in music store usually not connected to PA
Just found this video! Somebody needs to make a video of Jordan Rudess jamming on a cheap keyboard (like that Yamaha on the video) or a toy piano!
the piano GOD!!!!! 😲😲😲😲😲😖😖😖😖
Welcome to Japan,Mr.WIZARD!!
I past the day with him tomorow in saint jean de luz
