C'mon guys.... try and COVER THIS!!! Not sure if y'all can pull it off anymore without your "studio magic" and secret bag o' tricks. Jordan is like 1 year away from retirement on some beach, JP is playing Gibson amps now, John M is the only one pulling his weight. I don't think you guys got it in you anymore...it was a sick run though. I bet if that Liquid Tension Experience (I think that's it) guys saw this they could play it in a second. I don't think they have a singer, or something...or maybe he was sick that time I saw em. Those guys were good though...like scary good. Check em out sometime Dream Theater guys, they do that crazy music without any 'studio magic', but I still bet they are using the ole 'secret of the pros'
I guess you could say that as a child, you were considered somewhat odd. Kept to yourself most of the time. You would daydream in and out of your own world, but in every other way, you were fine.
Fantastic job. The song wouldn’t sound out of place on an album like Six Degrees. The breakdown was especially awesome. However, the song isn’t at least 8 minutes long so gotta dock some points for that
@@treyxaviermusicYou’re not ripping Dream Theater off at all. Unless you would copy their songs into your song. Ripping off a Dream Theater solo, is also not a problem. Because it’s just a regular solo
No wonder Dream Theater shared this video. Well done Trey. That was awesome. And I LOVED the resurrection of your Petrucci costume in the Music Video portion 🤣 Oh, and awesome to see Bruno Valverde in there. He’s a BEAST of a Drummer 🤘
Awesome vid! You did a pretty spot-on job with emulating the member's styles. Hell, you even did a decent job with James LaBrie's inflections, even when vocalists are FAR more difficult to impersonate. That said, I think you actually surpassed Portnoy's old backing vocals lmao. Great song, definitely gave me vibes from all sorts of different albums they've done.
Very About to crash-ish, with Moore on keyboards, Mangini on drums, Portnoy on drum fills and background vocals, a nice mix of Myung and Tony Levin on bass, and Neil Morse on vocals. (And a sprinkle of Tom Sawyer was in there too) Love it!
Absolutely killer job, felt like an unreleased early 2000s DT track. Also props for showing yourself recording vocals. There is something very intimate about people watching you sing espically when you are working stuff out and experimenting.
This was absolutely phenomenal. It really was a trunkated DT song. Sprinkle another 5min of solos/instrumentals throughout and it would totally have a home on one of their albums.
this was just about perfect except that it was less than 20 minutes long and the solo was playable by a human being. Lol no but seriously this was sick!
I really enjoyed the pedal tone lick after that fun little ascending octave thing. Some real fun stuff to play, and it absolutely inspired me to pick up my guitar and jammy the Boogie tones overload.
Crushed it man! So good! Was wondering what you'd do for the bass parts with all the sick riffs you wrote. Glad to see the bass player made it alive and kicking too.
@@TheOobo Yes...but even after 30 years of being a huge fan, I don't have a clue what he's saying sometimes. Also, DT lyrics are beautiful...you always here about JP being the fastest yadda yadda. His guitar shit is incredible...always. Every single thing he writes is incredible, but he's also an absolutely brilliant lyrical writer. His wordplay and rhetoric is pure poetry. Listen to In The Name of God with the lyrics in front of you. It's a super easy song to get into with a huge arena chorus, very standard verse chorus verse chorus bridge type song writing. That's a pure Petrucci crafted lyric. It's about fanatical religious cult leaders who use and twist religion to control people and fit their agenda...like Jonestown or Heaven's Gate. Anyways, that's an easy listen and you can see what I'm saying about how LaBrie can make words hard to understand.
Having been a DT fan for over 15 years, I'm truly amazed by what you did here! Awesome stuff! I especially like that you used elements from their older material (the beginning is definitely inspired by "About to Crash - Reprise"), which is a sound that I've missed.
Intro, main riff, verse, pretty spot on, with a lot of "a dramatic turn of events" on it. The chorus was ok, the "crazy instrumental part" was amazing but I really don't see rudess playing it like that and with those sounds, but is Rudess, pretty hard to mimic him, specially his sounds. But amazing job, defo a tribute to the band style and your inner Petrucci must be proud.
Very cool stuff! Love it, I never comment on your work (just lurking) but been a long time subscriber and also an amazing DT fan for like 20 years. You nailed it! Tnx :)
That was sick. Love that guitar. You should do more videos with those guys. Absolute fantastic musicians. I knew it was going to be good when I saw Crawford’s name. I wasn’t familiar with the other guys but they are awesome.
You did an amazing job with this song. Definite Dream Theater feel to it both musically & lyrically, I Love the end product. I also enjoyed the journey taken, to show how the song process works for you. Congratulations dude, great job.
Dude! EPIC. Just was sick and it messed with my ears so I couldn't listen to music. You're the first metal I've listened to and you did not disappoint!
Thanks! These topics are the boundaries between Technical Music and Neo Prog Rock (Metal): skills and music theory to create the fantasy and other dimensions. I have imagined asking to DT if their music could be possible without technology. In this new era only fans (NOT radio, NOT labels) knows what music is good or bad. Best wishes from a sunny place in Chile.
It sounded so much like A View From The Top Of The World album, which was released 8 months after the video, plus a bit from The Looking Glass. Also, 21:22 to 21:53 reminds me of A7X' Life Is But A Dream. Awesome song overall! 🤘🏻
I found the video because John Petrucci talked about it! Nailed it! Nailed it big time. That's me subscribing to your channel now. Thanks for the good time!
This is so awesome, thanks Gear Gods! 😂
This video is officially DT approved
So can we all now expect a legit cover? 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Very cool 🤟🤘
I still wanna know who controls this channel. If it's a dream theater member then yes,we're getting a cover
C'mon guys.... try and COVER THIS!!!

Classic Dream Theater: very busy bass playing, but nobody can hear it, except for the tapping parts.
Like normal dream theater
nobody can hear what? I could hear everything.
😂😂
"How to write a Dream Theater song"
*25 minute video*
Honestly would have expected that to be the song length and the video to be much longer
if it's less than 8 minutes, it's not enough
@@wintermansion its never enough
@@LightningXD I see what you did there.
Imagine Dream Theater actually playing that song on their new record
realistically speaking, they'd be more likely to do it live
I have been wondering about that with the other bands. I wonder how many bands check this guys videos .
Hey! That was great. Had fun doing it. 🤟🤟🤟
O brabo apenas
Sensacional Bruno!

Dududududun. Dududududududun. Du-du-du-du-du the boy is just simply crazy
Wow, the bass is mixed even lower than DT. This is approaching Metallica levels.
Dude that was a fun experience. Thanks for having me be apart of this video. 😎
Thanks for making it wayyyy sick
And Dream Theater just posted this on their original Facebook Page. Congratulations
Fun fact: Dream Theater concerts last two hours but only consist of 3 songs.
Fantastic job. The song wouldn’t sound out of place on an album like Six Degrees. The breakdown was especially awesome. However, the song isn’t at least 8 minutes long so gotta dock some points for that
understandable
I absolutely and completely see this song in Six Degrees. Love it!
@@treyxaviermusicYou’re not ripping Dream Theater off at all. Unless you would copy their songs into your song. Ripping off a Dream Theater solo, is also not a problem. Because it’s just a regular solo
Everything was reaaally tight, except for jp's sleeves though
🤣 I was hoping nobody noticed
Bro, how do these videos not have more views? This is the most amazing series I’ve discovered on TH-cam in years.
because you haven't told everyone you've ever met about them yet
As someone who's never gotten into Dream Theater, this makes me want to get into Dream Theater
🍷
Dream Theater just shared this!
I SAW OMG OMG OMG my daaayyyyy is maaaaaaade
I like the subtle touch of putting your thumb on the mic, just like LaBrie.
Good job, that drummer is amazing!
That prechorus is more Dream Theater than Dream Theater
No wonder Dream Theater shared this video. Well done Trey. That was awesome. And I LOVED the resurrection of your Petrucci costume in the Music Video portion 🤣
Oh, and awesome to see Bruno Valverde in there. He’s a BEAST of a Drummer 🤘
Cool seeing my favourite drummer playing this. A nice surprise. Bruno rules!!
This is the best TH-cam video I have watched till today! Seriously, loved watching the process of you writing this song!
Can we have a step by step tutorial on "how to write an Opeth Song" ?
Love Bruno's drumming!!!
That breakdown was sooo Symphony X esque, but was still DT like some how! Awesome job dude
That's exactly what I thought! It was such a Romeo sound
@@DanielRicardo42 me too
This sounds like something straight out of 6 degrees. Fkn amazing
My thoughts exactly, hahaha

Dude, you f*cking nailed this. Coming from a huge DT fan, I'm not convinced you didn't have JP off set telling you what to do. This was amazing.
this was just about perfect except that it was less than 20 minutes long and the solo was playable by a human being. Lol no but seriously this was sick!
I'm still on a quest to determine what exactly JP is. I'm leaning somewhere between elder wizard or elder god
@@TheOobo He is an alien
@@TheOobo L20 Bard for sure
Dope song.
Thanks!
Oh man, you guys killed it. Very Dream Theater.
Trey, oh my god. This was perfect. And that instrumental section was SO tasty. Whew.
ty fren
Really freaking loved this song. Not only the creation process, but the feeling of making and analysing Dream Theater, priceless.
Incrível! Os verdadeiros fãs de DT entendem quão complexo foi esse processo. Parabéns, nosso batera BR sempre amassando!
Just casually bringing in Anthony Crawford...🤟
That drummer tho..
Oooh, very nice work from the keyboardist, that little solo truly nailed both sound and style of Jordan Rudess!
Thank you! Its not easy to try and emulate Jordan, both his sounds and his style!
Love pretty much all your lets write a song videos. Crushed it with this one.
Hell yeah! Awesome song, great riffs and sweet melodies. 100% Dream Theater-ish!
The solo section reminds me more of Symphony X if Mike Portnoy was their drummer lol
Awesome stuff!
Totally nailed it! Plus balls of steel to dare sing and perform meaningful, personal lyrics.
So you literally wrote every prog-metal act's song from the 2000s. I dig it!
Dude, that was PHENOMENAL!!! How do you do it?! Awesome.
I really enjoyed the pedal tone lick after that fun little ascending octave thing. Some real fun stuff to play, and it absolutely inspired me to pick up my guitar and jammy the Boogie tones overload.
NOTIFICATION SQUAAAAAAAAD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!
Wow. You guys absolutely nailed it!
Awesome ! 100 % DT. You nailed it.
Can you please put this on spotify? It was soo good!
That was awesome loved it. Fantastic parallel to them spot on.
That was badass brother. Appreciate ya sharing.
Crushed it man! So good! Was wondering what you'd do for the bass parts with all the sick riffs you wrote. Glad to see the bass player made it alive and kicking too.
DUDE!! Awesome song and video! you totally nailed it. Loved the MP singing bits lol 🤣
That had me rolling and saying f*ck yeah! 🤣
This is pretty dope!
You nailed it Trey. Great tribute and kudos to you for having the chops to do DT justice.
nah not dream theater enough. I can understand the words you are singing
This is like Lucid dream theater
but who can't? hahah
Aren't DT's lyrics relatively clean and straightforward compared with...like...most metal?
@@TheOobo Yes...but even after 30 years of being a huge fan, I don't have a clue what he's saying sometimes.

This. Was. AWESOME! You nailed it! I’d totally buy an album from you guys of dream theater sounding songs lol
literally istening to dream theater, great job!
sounds like a mix of octavarium, scenes and astonishing, great job guys!!!
Intro, main riff, verse, pretty spot on, with a lot of "a dramatic turn of events" on it.

Bruno Valverde is a friend of Aquiles Priester, the former drummer of Angra who audition for Dream Theater.
Love it!
Awesome video!!! Really excellent!! Now guys i’m waiting for your album!!
FREAKING AWESOME MAN! As a huge DT fan, this was amazing!!!
AWESOME!
Love these song building video's🤘🤘
Very cool stuff! Love it, I never comment on your work (just lurking) but been a long time subscriber and also an amazing DT fan for like 20 years. You nailed it! Tnx :)
Sounds really good!
Interesting to see your process. The song is sick. Need your course soon...
I love watching your process
That was sick. Love that guitar. You should do more videos with those guys. Absolute fantastic musicians. I knew it was going to be good when I saw Crawford’s name. I wasn’t familiar with the other guys but they are awesome.
The Bassist was good 👍🏻
I can’t wait for the remaining ten minutes of the song to be released
Loved it Trey
anybody noticed the use of Rudess' Snarling Pig in the last part of the song? the keyboardist nailed programming the sound
Thanks! It pretty hard to get right 😩. But totally worth it!
AWSOME, absolutely DT to my ears, and it very GOOD!
You did an amazing job with this song. Definite Dream Theater feel to it both musically & lyrically, I Love the end product.
I also enjoyed the journey taken, to show how the song process works for you. Congratulations dude, great job.
Dude! EPIC. Just was sick and it messed with my ears so I couldn't listen to music. You're the first metal I've listened to and you did not disappoint!
glad I was the one to break the seal
This was freaking awesome, man! You rock!

Incredible job. Subbed.
Fucking awesome, Trey and the others killed it. Great job, dude
man you are so great! this is unbelievable!!!! great talent!
Wow this really turned out to be a DT song ... amazing!!

Congrats man....
This is really good. Good job all!
I'm addicted to your channel and I'm learning a lot .You sir are a master.
Thanks!
Very Systematic Chaos. Awesome video! 🤘🤘🤘
I think you both somehow made it sound just like them, but it's also really original in some ways, super sick man! The middle vocals part was killer.
This was amazing! Great job all around!
Absolutely nailed it! Tasty chops all around!
Dude, a huge congrats on this video. Great job

Also, 21:22 to 21:53 reminds me of A7X' Life Is But A Dream.
Awesome song overall! 🤘🏻
I was waiting for the vocals to unnecessarily soar into the stratosphere, but good job showing restraint!
What a sick song. Really loved how the chorus came out at the end.
I found the video because John Petrucci talked about it! Nailed it! Nailed it big time. That's me subscribing to your channel now. Thanks for the good time!
Sweeet where did he post it? I saw the band post it but I didn't see his
@@treyxaviermusic My mistake. You are right, it was a FB post from the band.
This was awesome. And cool that Petrucci could play the guitar at the end
