I played Rush Natural Science audio off TH-cam during a break in a recording session, and our singer said That band is definitely influenced by Dream Theater
No one is Going to take Rush`s crown, I was merely saying that in my opinion they were the nearest of the modern bands to play in the same genre and attempt similar levels of complexity albeit with five band members. There lies Rush`s genius, to make that music with just three people. I`ve seen both bands live many times and they are both amazing. I don't believe in rating music, its not a sport. If something makes you happy then its good.
@@marty8370 delusional rush fan. You're crazy if you think that. They've surpassed Rush in terms of musicality and this is coming from a huge Rush fan myself.
Gods of instruments... they are the best... Dream theater is not for everyone .. Progressive is a special kind.. but every “musicians” love and respect them.. thanx for the reaction 🤘🏽
Most of this album, "Images and Words" is gold. "Another Day" could have been a radio hit (but somehow wasn't), "Surrounded" has one of the best build ups and releases in all of music, and "Metropolis" is so good it got a whole album as its sequel. "Leaning to Live" is also great. Again, just... the whole album is gold. And the rest of their catalogue has gems like "Hollow years," "The Glass Prison," "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" (It's 40 minutes long; you probably don't want to do that monster here), "Home," "The Count of Tuscany," "Change of Seasons," "Mirror/Lie," and about half of the rest of their discography. So much great stuff.
I've been listening to this band since Images and Words got released. I taught myself to type by typing Wait for Sleep repeatedly.. and Surrounded is one of my all time favorites.. Many tears were shed to that song in my life.
@@LiquidSpartan117 You are right, but in music, speed and technique isn't everything. Both are great in their own way. But the "new" version of DT has no soul. It's all technique and speed. Doesn't reach my heart anymore. Nevertheless I respect all 4 players you mentioned for what they are capable of doing.
@@RogerLaLoutre Jordan did have hair in his first couple of years with the band. Check out anything from the Metropolis 2000 Scenes from New York DVD to see his long rocker hair.
Since i heard it many MOONS ago, it immediately became one of my top 3 in no specific order: Randy Rhodes "Over the mountain" John Petrucci "Under a glass moon" Yngwie Malmsteen I'll see the light tonight
Dream Theater in Tokyo changed my life! This whole VHS Tape is sick! Lol. I bet you’d be in awe of you saw Petrucci’s beard now! Listen to Dance of Eternity! So many great songs with different flavors!
Maybe it's a bit too early, but you have to get around to Dream Theater's "A Change Of Seasons" - all 23 minutes of it. Legitimate use of the word "epic".
This, all of this! We have a rule in my friends group, that when we are going on a road trip, we all get to pick songs, in a roundabout fashion, one at a time. When its my turn I usually break out the Dream Theater. On occasion, or a rather long trip, I will break out "A Change of Seasons." I have only had one complaint in 15 Years, and it was that a buddy of mine never got his turn. LOL.
Dude, you gotta do "Take the Time". So many awesome twists and turns in that song. Also, it has a sample of "Christmas Rappin" by Kurtis Blow (yes, really).
Oh man oh man oh man oh man we're back to Dream Theater I'M SO EXCITED I know DT is not really your thing and I will never expect you to legitimately bump them in the car like I do, but it's still great to see you give them the time of day. Also, my request would be: Beyond This Life (Live at Budokan)
SO GLAD you finally got back to my favorite band!! Bear in mind that this performance was only two studio albums into a very long career that continues to this day. Dream Theater is the greatest band of all time in my opinion, and their music literally changed my life and altered how I look at or approach music as a musician. PLEASE do more!!
I love your reaction to this epic song ! It transcends reason how amazing in every way this piece of music was orchestrated. These are all highly trained musicians at their absolute best. It's beautiful to see people from different cultures enjoying music from the souls of others to theirs !
If you want to listen some more, check Ytse Jam, Pull me under, Take the time, Metropolis pt 1, The mirror, Lines in the sand, As I am, Panic Attack, and when you are ready check the behemoths that are A change of seasons, Six Degrees of inner turbulence, Octavarium and In the Presence of enemies, which are tracks where the band truly shines. And last but not least check the Concept album Scenes from a Memory (one of the best concept albums in history) and the songs known collectively as the 12 step suite (The glass prison, This dying soul, The root of all evil, Repentance and The shattered fortress, in that order) sorry for the long answer ;p
@@jasonallen5318 Home is my favorite song of theirs and I just don't see it other than the instrumental opening, but once James comes in nah. In The Great Debate I feel like James is even mimicking some of MJK's cadence. "LIFE to SAVE LIFE"
I've probably watched around 20 to 30 of your videos so far, and I really love the fact that you just LOVE music all around. It doesn't matter what genre it is, you simply and purely love music. It's an absolutely wonderful thing and I appreciate you being so open to anything the vast universe of music can offer. All the best to you, sir!
This vhs is what molded me into the drummer I am today. Watched religiously. Watch the entire thing it’s awesome. Mike has a drummer solo on it and it’s awesome!
I was 18 when I saw this tour. It was at a club with maybe 200 people which was its max but you would swear there was thousands by the crowds response. Such an amazing band live. Still got my t-shirt & photos..might have to dig them out now to reminisce.
Greg Kihn is a classic for sure. How about Aldo Nova life is just a fantasy. Bu the best 80s track that everyone forgets is Autograph turn up the radio.
I was 13 and didnt even know of Dream Theater when this came out...I didn't get on board until 2002. Never looked back since! DT is my favorite band of all time.
Saw them in Glasgow same year, 1993, been a fan since 1989...love your reaction. Pretty much as everyone at the gig. Christ! They're even better live!!!
I had the pleasure of playing with dream theater in 2000. I played with a band called Jacobs dream. We opened for Dream Theater and symphony X then Queensryche end of the show
There is so much Dream Theater you can listen to. If you can find live versions of whatever gets suggested, its one thing to hear the music, but its another to see them do it live.
"A Change of Seasons" is a magical journey, I really love Derek Sherinian's keyboard sounds and feel. He really added something nasty to DT. It's awesome.
I got to see Dream Theater once back in 1995 I think on their Awake Tour, in a 500 person occupancy club. Awesome show. I was deaf for a week, but still awesome.
I have been seeing them since they did small clubs opening for Winger in 1988 before the aquired James LaBrie. They still blow my mind. Love every second of it.
Man, DT used to be so much more alive when playing live back in the day! Way more energetic. Even John Myung is far from the stoic bassist he's become. And more than 25 years have passed, and I still miss Kevin...
Jamal! Thank you!! Did you know they are Berkley trained musicians? I have followed them since they started in Long Island and have been to at least 100 club shows and every tour. They are my ❤️ band. Please do “silent man” to hear amazing lyrics and James voice. “Untethered angel” off their newest album for the latest sound and of course where they got noticed on the scene with “pull me under”. There is just so much to appreciate musically now that you have found them. PLEASE MORE! 🤗
True, was thinking same thing. The fact LaBrie held those last couple notes without any vibrato was kind of damn crazy to me though with this live version, shame what happened to his voice
@YelloFattyBean Because James can only sometimes deliver live. It's really painful to hear him strain. It's like later-year Geddy Lee. Just can't do it anymore.
@@HollowGolem I also feel like Portnoy is overplaying/changing this live version a little bit. That's nice for big fans like myself but I definitely would want first time listeners experiencing the track recorded as it was. They were meticulous about that album!!
Seeing these guys live really makes you appreciate what they actually do. They had big screens focused on the players and you could see the magic happen. The chemistry between Rudess on the keys and Petrucci on the strings... it was unbelievable. My friends and I kept looking at each other in disbelief. We witnessed greatness.
Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Petrucci [Guitar] , John Myung [Bass] and Mike Portnoy [Drums] while they attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. ✌🤘
A local club back in the 90's used to play Images and Words between bands. It was awesome with the amps turned up to 10. That is still one of my favorite albums. I like the sound and it brings back a lot of memories with friends before everyone got busy and married.....
I think my favorite thing about watching your reacts is you have a genuine love for music and whether you'd listen to this stuff on your own time or not, you still seem to appreciate and love it. Thank you for being a positive force in the world.
Amazing! My brother was a huge Dream Theater fan and I was taken to many of their concerts. They are incredible live and Mike Portnoy is godly on drums. My brother passed away and this made my day, brought so many memories back. He would have loved your reaction. Thanks man
Wow you found an old gem! I had this on VHS when it came out. Met them when they played with King's X at the Stone in San Francisco. Thanks for reacting!
My first VHS tape (second was operation Livecrime from Queensryche) i bought when i was a teenager. Unfortunately i cannot find it (thanks Mom for throwing all the "unecessary" stuff when i went to Uni) but i memorized every single minute of that live and i am very glad for the Internet that i can still relive these happy memories.
I need pop my dvd in the player and watch this concert again! I have seen them live once. Sadly without the keyboard player in this video. But Derek Sherinian (sp?) was great live as well.
FINALLY! More to react from them: Glass Prison, Dance of Eternity, Change of Seasons, Count of Tuscany, Home, Instrumedley.. that should start you right down DT's path
John petrucci you slay me with your music 🎶 and so much guitar 🎸 and bass drums for the people and dream theater land every were now Tokyo Paris London New York city ✨ 🎶 ❤
Probably the biggest names in prog metal after Queensryche "Hear in the Now Frontier"ed themselves. So much great stuff. You can throw darts at the Awake, Images and Words, and Six Degrees album and come up with gold almost guaranteed. "Scenes from a Memory" is a great concept album and their epics, like "Octavarium" and "Count of Tuscany" were always a musical journey. These guys kick so many different flavors of ass.
Oh, man, they have so many classic albums, a few with a decent number okay songs, and some utter crap. They're not the most consistent band, but when they hit high, you get glorious stuff like "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence," "Octavarium," "Lines in the Sand," or "The Glass Prison."
@@Copperwise I see that. It was up. it might be one of the videos he had to take down. You might want to check out that video and see if it was on the list.
Dream Theater has been my favorite band since the very moment I first heard them in 1992, and they probably always will be. Got to see them live a few years ago, and they have only improved with age! Thanks for the video!
The Whole Dream Theater album Scenes from a Memory is one cool long story across the album with some great songs. I remember having to look up what it was all supposed to mean. Pretty cool
My fave song by my fav band. For such a hard song, it's so sweet that it is about John Petrucci's proposal to his wife... Some beautiful lyrics "bathing your soul in silver tears"
I saw them last October, 5th row center, and one thing you will discover about DT is they sound as good live as their studio releases. Like you said "it's not fair" to have it all. But sometimes it doesn't pay to play fair. Which allows the universe to bring musical genius like DT to the masses
JP is probably the greatest guitar player ever. The leads are incredible and his riffs are insane too. Not to mention the countless shredders who have taken his master classes sparking a generation of influence.
And btw you should definitely check out their 20th anniversary DVD "Score". Not for the reaction, but for your personal joy. It's 2,5 hours of quintessential Dream Theater that changed my life forever!
@@thecolouroutofspacee I prefer listening to all of the "score" performances over the studio versions. Every single song. That is how good that show was.
James LaBrie, the lead singer was in a band with Sebastian Bach… can you imagine those man sirens singing in the same group. Damn!! Similar vocal style and range. Bach is a damn talented vocalist too.
![[ TEASER ] เงาะป่า - วงL.กฮ. | TMG RECORD](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/M4ObdFfcPww/mqdefault.jpg)
John Petrucci's guitar tone when he used Ibanez was unreal
Também acho!!!!!
That is modern classical music IMO
Ibanez is my favorite guitar🔥
I think hes tone from awake till train is his best. Dunno if its ibanez
Ur makin me regret buying the majesty stop
Dream Theater is what happens when all your friends play baseball and ride bikes and you practice your instrument....
And yes, The Spirit Carries on, live is a MUSTTT
😃
Great reaction. Dream Theater are from the same planet as Rush. They are not human lol
Richard Towell ha ha. So true!
I played Rush Natural Science audio off TH-cam during a break in a recording session, and our singer said That band is definitely influenced by Dream Theater
Is that a joke. Dream Theater are knowhere near Rush. Never will be

So much great stuff.
The Mirror is one of their heaviest songs ever, especially for the era
I've been listening to this band since Images and Words got released. I taught myself to type by typing Wait for Sleep repeatedly.. and Surrounded is one of my all time favorites.. Many tears were shed to that song in my life.
I mean hollow years isnt really a gem, but there is no such thing as a dt "gem" because every song is.
This was Mike Portnoy the original drummer and Kevin Moore the original keyboardist.
Jordan kicks his ass tho.
The Mikes are pretty much equally savage.
@@LiquidSpartan117 In technicality yes. But songwriting-wise, you'll have an argument.

@@RogerLaLoutre Jordan did have hair in his first couple of years with the band. Check out anything from the Metropolis 2000 Scenes from New York DVD to see his long rocker hair.
John Petrucci's solo is still one of the best I've ever heard. Let the face melting begin.
Yes that solo just melts me everytime.
"What is the drummer, a damn octopus?" Bruh, youre so close to the memes without knowing lmao
Under a Glass Moon actually made the top 100 guitar solos of all time in Guitar World magazine.
It deserves to be in that ranking! For me, it's one of the most memorable of John's solos over the years.
"Top 100 guitar solos of all time" should contain more petrucci's solos
Since i heard it many MOONS ago, it immediately became one of my top 3 in no specific order:
Randy Rhodes
"Over the mountain"
John Petrucci
"Under a glass moon"
Yngwie Malmsteen
I'll see the light tonight
I would add Michael Romeo's solo from "Dawn Of A Million Souls" in there as well.
"They about to melt it..." Yep--and they are still melting it. SO many great albums. I've seen them live 20+ times and the melt it every time!
Dream Theater in Tokyo changed my life! This whole VHS Tape is sick! Lol. I bet you’d be in awe of you saw Petrucci’s beard now! Listen to Dance of Eternity! So many great songs with different flavors!
yeah it's like each band member took turns leading the band down a musical path
Dance of Eternity is wonderful too. But he already did a reaction to some live "instrumedley" mostly based on Dance of Eternity.
OH SHI-- my man has discovered Dream Theater
Try "Metropolis pt. 1" or "Learning to live"
Владислав Плужник Jordan R for the win!
Great song!
Yes! please!
Such a good album.
Definitely two greats for DT fans but not for the casual fan IMO. Gotta do some stuff that is accessible for sure.
Maybe it's a bit too early, but you have to get around to Dream Theater's "A Change Of Seasons" - all 23 minutes of it. Legitimate use of the word "epic".

Too early

I love that song, very underrated.
Yes.. especially when they played that song live in tokyo.. petrucci did a monster guitar solo.. damn

Also, my request would be: Beyond This Life (Live at Budokan)
From the album Awake in 1994, Erotomania, its an instrumental masterpiece
Their all instruments is my love.. Steam of Consciousness, Overtures so on
Ok now check out Metropolis Pt. 1 by them! That was the intro song in this video, and it has a couple of the wildest guitar solos you’ll ever hear
And some of them were guitar and keys in unison and harmony. That's when the song gets really insane.
Dream Theater? CLICK!!!

"LIFE to SAVE LIFE"
I saw this same tour in Tempe Arizona maybe 250 people there. so much talent. So awesome;I’ve thanks for taking me back jamel. Brotha!!!
i've seen DT a couple times in Tempe.. Great band..
"just to see all these instruments ...just being violated" literally made me lol. Great vid as always, thanks!
The one word that comes to me about this band... PRECISION!!!
Not one note or beat wrong or out of place. Thanks Brother J. That was tons o' fun!☮&❤

Please check out Octavarium. It's 20 plus minutes of shear musical epicness and genius. It will blow your mind out of your soul.
It's a great musical and lyrical tribute to all of the greats that inspired them. I hear something new every time I listen to it.
Pause after the song......GOLDEN.
"Images and Words" was an incredible album! Any song on there would be worth reacting too.
This vhs is what molded me into the drummer I am today. Watched religiously. Watch the entire thing it’s awesome. Mike has a drummer solo on it and it’s awesome!
I saw them twice during this tour, both times were great shows.
I was 18 when I saw this tour. It was at a club with maybe 200 people which was its max but you would swear there was thousands by the crowds response. Such an amazing band live. Still got my t-shirt & photos..might have to dig them out now to reminisce.
Greg Kihn-Breakup Song and Manfred Mann's Earth Band- Blinded by the Light
Greg Kihn is a classic for sure. How about Aldo Nova life is just a fantasy. Bu the best 80s track that everyone forgets is Autograph turn up the radio.
Tbh anything off Nightingales and Bombers is fire

I went to my first DT concert last year. It was insane but surreal. I loved every moment.
Instant click when I saw!! Definitely need to check more DT...
Trial of Tears
A Change of Seasons
These Walls
Just a few suggestions 🍻
"A Change of Seasons" is a magical journey, I really love Derek Sherinian's keyboard sounds and feel. He really added something nasty to DT. It's awesome.
A Change of Seasons, the second or third longest DT song? Oh God. He ain't gonna survive this X)
I got to see Dream Theater once back in 1995 I think on their Awake Tour, in a 500 person occupancy club. Awesome show. I was deaf for a week, but still awesome.
Jamel I am stoked that you feel my favorite band Dream Theater!🤘🏽😎🤘🏽 Thank you for another great reaction!
Cool! One of their best songs from my favourite DT album. That keyboard intro says it all!
Have to react to “pull me under” by them. One of the longest greatest intros ever.
Should definitely react to Pull me under and surrounded.
I have been seeing them since they did small clubs opening for Winger in 1988 before the aquired James LaBrie. They still blow my mind. Love every second of it.
Dream Theater is always awesome. I've loved them for a long time.
Man, DT used to be so much more alive when playing live back in the day! Way more energetic. Even John Myung is far from the stoic bassist he's become. And more than 25 years have passed, and I still miss Kevin...
I think this is the only tour with clips where he moves lol. In the Awake Tour videos he's already stagnant.
Yeah…..Love Jordan to death, but Kevin Moore was just awesome!
I had forgotten how insanely good this live track was. JP is absolutely on fire here.
Jamal! Thank you!! Did you know they are Berkley trained musicians? I have followed them since they started in Long Island and have been to at least 100 club shows and every tour.

I think my favorite thing about watching your reacts is you have a genuine love for music and whether you'd listen to this stuff on your own time or not, you still seem to appreciate and love it. Thank you for being a positive force in the world.
Amazing! My brother was a huge Dream Theater fan and I was taken to many of their concerts. They are incredible live and Mike Portnoy is godly on drums. My brother passed away and this made my day, brought so many memories back. He would have loved your reaction. Thanks man
Wow you found an old gem! I had this on VHS when it came out. Met them when they played with King's X at the Stone in San Francisco. Thanks for reacting!
Live 'Scenes from a memory' is where it's at.
Pull Me Under is the song that made this band popular.
My first VHS tape (second was operation Livecrime from Queensryche) i bought when i was a teenager.

Great reaction, great band, song and album! Love the t-shirt your wearing too!!!
Dude, I love getting blazed and listening to music with you!
"It's not fair! You can't have it all!" LMFAO
Dream Theater is the tightest band i have ever seen! They really are a synced up group.
Listen to Extol!
Another Gem that never reached the masses was Rodriguez "Sugar Man" unbelievable talent never fully recognised.
This whole album, Images and Words, should've just been called Facemelter Volume 1.
Early ninites I saw them in concert, and heard them. Heard them a lot. Loudest show I have ever been to, but incredible time.
I'd love to see a reaction to A Nightmare to Remember. All time favorite DT song. Such powerful meaning behind it! And it rips
This whole album it’s from is all gold, if you play an instrument then learn it.....then you’ll experience bliss
I need pop my dvd in the player and watch this concert again! I have seen them live once. Sadly without the keyboard player in this video. But Derek Sherinian (sp?) was great live as well.
FINALLY! More to react from them: Glass Prison, Dance of Eternity, Change of Seasons, Count of Tuscany, Home, Instrumedley.. that should start you right down DT's path
John petrucci you slay me with your music 🎶 and so much guitar 🎸 and bass drums for the people and dream theater land every were now Tokyo Paris London New York city ✨ 🎶 ❤
I love dream theater I would give anything to see them live
You're teaching me today. Never heard of these guys before this video either.

You're right Jamal! Images&Words it's all about waving hair and "dididi-di-di-didididi" and that's why we love it.
Never listened to these guys...WTF is wrong with me? Awsome, fucking awsome!!!
Oh, man, they have so many classic albums, a few with a decent number okay songs, and some utter crap. They're not the most consistent band, but when they hit high, you get glorious stuff like "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence," "Octavarium," "Lines in the Sand," or "The Glass Prison."
Welcome to DT Patrick - one of the very best bands ever.
What's cool is you have this giant library of music to dive into!
Ya, what the hell is wrong with you man?!?! lol Better late than never as they say.
Welcome to prog - we've got cookies. They're all intentionally crooked though - 17/16th cookies :D
King Crimson, "Elephant Talk", live on "Fridays" tv show, 1981

Idonoywant Thisaccount why are you yelling at people?? 😠
@@idonoywantthisaccount7675 I just searched it and it is showing nothing. If he has done the reaction already I can't find it.
@@Copperwise I see that. It was up. it might be one of the videos he had to take down. You might want to check out that video and see if it was on the list.
The drummer is relentless 💖
Hey man. Discovered your channel during the Pandemic. It’s helping to get me through. My two year old son now asks to watch you by name!!
Trust me they sound just like thisthey have just gotten better with age the 3 times I've seen them awsome performance every single time .
Dream Theater has been my favorite band since the very moment I first heard them in 1992, and they probably always will be. Got to see them live a few years ago, and they have only improved with age! Thanks for the video!
The Whole Dream Theater album Scenes from a Memory is one cool long story across the album with some great songs. I remember having to look up what it was all supposed to mean. Pretty cool
Ah, one of my all-time favorite bands. Progressive metal at its finest! rofl You're right, these guys just aren't fair.
My fave song by my fav band. For such a hard song, it's so sweet that it is about John Petrucci's proposal to his wife... Some beautiful lyrics "bathing your soul in silver tears"
Great reaction! I’ve never even listened to them before. I’ll be checking out more Dream Theater.
Top 5 bands of all time for me. This album is their best IMO. SO glad you found them!
I saw them last October, 5th row center, and one thing you will discover about DT is they sound as good live as their studio releases. Like you said "it's not fair" to have it all. But sometimes it doesn't pay to play fair. Which allows the universe to bring musical genius like DT to the masses
Rush fan here. Dream Theater got me the first time I head them. Do Take the Time and Metropolis studio versions.
I was lucky to see the band 4 times in the nyc area in 97-98
Pull Me Under, all time favorite of dream theater
What you are watching my friend is a group of beast musicians put together.
JP is probably the greatest guitar player ever. The leads are incredible and his riffs are insane too. Not to mention the countless shredders who have taken his master classes sparking a generation of influence.
Your"e as much fun to watch . As listening to the music .. Everything is better when experienced together
And btw you should definitely check out their 20th anniversary DVD "Score". Not for the reaction, but for your personal joy. It's 2,5 hours of quintessential Dream Theater that changed my life forever!
Most underrated and overlooked live performance of all time
@@tobyb4304 yup, just a whole orchestra playing a 42-minute suite with the band, nothing special :D
@@thecolouroutofspacee I prefer listening to all of the "score" performances over the studio versions. Every single song. That is how good that show was.
@@thecolouroutofspacee Portnoy's drum cam aswell 🤤
James LaBrie, the lead singer was in a band with Sebastian Bach… can you imagine those man sirens singing in the same group. Damn!! Similar vocal style and range. Bach is a damn talented vocalist too.
loved it, tnx. my fave dream theater era...
I saw them live on this tour. It's absolutely insane how good they are/were live.
