All the members are talented beyond words, and you are quite correct. Anytime someone jokes about a bass solo just being E E E E E E, I direct them to 4:38 of Panic Attack.
@@keithkkim Awesome! If you don't mind me asking, did you focus on instrumental or composition? ...I knew while I'm competent at a few instruments, I was nowhere near a level to make a career out of it, so I became a scientist who plays a lot of prog rock/metal in the lab much to the chagrin of some of my grad students. In terms of modern music, I've always found it amusing that for all the hate that gets tossed at any genre of progressive...well pretty much anything, that when you look at the music, you see a lot more elements of music theory. Bands like DT, Rush Opeth, or Mastadon, are all top notch IMO.
@@eng-eq7xy I majored Guitar: Rock Performance. I graduated from Berklee because of DT. and eventually even got Masters degree. I teach Jazz and Latin style at music high school and university because of education purpose(I get side tracked and teach them some Guthrie Govan and DT tunes because some of Rock and Metal music from such artists worth learning by theoretical approach), but my passion is Prog Rock/Metal and that's what I play the most.
Dude, I love you! Thank you so much for reacting to Dream Theater. I subbed to you because of your Rage Against the Machine reactions, but this is my all time favorite band. So glad you're dipping your toe into it. It's out of this world amazing ❤ And btw, I genuinely enjoy your reactions. Keep them coming.
This is one of my favorite tracks of theirs, mainly because of how the music and subject matter mesh so brilliantly. The song is about panic attacks, and the music is so frenetic and unsettling. Never really lets you settle into a groove or feel comfortable with it, and driving to a crescendo that shouldn’t be possible considering the song starts at such a high intensity.
One of my favorite Dream Theater songs. Octavarium is a great album. Dude you gotta check out Dream Theater - Dance of Eternity Live Breaking the Fourth Wall!
Verse 1] All wound up, on the edge, terrified Sleep disturbed, restless mind, petrified Bouts of fear permeate all I see Heightening nervousness threatens me [Bridge 1] I am paralyzed So afraid to die [Verse 2] Caught off guard, warning signs never show Tension strikes, choking me, worries grow [Chorus] Why do I feel so numb? Is it something to do with where I come from? Should this be fight or flight? I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight [Verse 3] Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest Agitated body in distress I feel like I'm in danger Daily life is strangled by my stress A stifling surge shooting through all my veins Extreme apprehension, suddenly I'm insane Lost all hope for redemption A grave situation desperate at best [Chorus] Why do I feel so numb? Is it something to do with where I come from? Should this be fight or flight? I don't know why I'm constantly reeling [Refrain] Helpless hysteria A false sense of urgency Trapped in my phobia Possessed by anxiety Run, try to hide Overwhelmed by this complex delirium [Instrumental Break] [Keyboard Solo] [Guitar Solo] [Refrain] Helpless hysteria A false sense of urgency Trapped in my phobia Possessed by anxiety Run, try to hide Overwhelmed by this complex delirium
@@UroboricNate No do the recorded version :) I was at that show and one of my fav I ever attended but L2L needs a nice headphone experience from the album :)
Stream of Consequences (edit/facepalm: cosnsciousness. I meant Consciousness!! :D), Metropolis, Octavarium, Count of Tuscany... Ahh feck this... I don't have the time to list another 20 or so.
Pandora’s box has been open! Lol Dream Theater is my favorite band of all time! Their musicianship is second to none! If you want to have a visual to go along with their talent check out Instrumedley or Beyond This life from the Live at Budokan album. Congratulations on joining the prog nation and with the prog gods too! Liked and subscribed good sir.
This wasn't an instrumental originally, so no reason for the lyrics not to show up, shame on the uploader! :P You mentioned how you don't even know how to move your face to the verse - this part of the song is a bit of an oddity, literally speaking, because check this out: It's in 5/8 time (as opposed to 4/4, common time), it's the 5th song out of 8 on their 8th album, there was 5 members in the band and the whole album, Octavarium, is about how things come full circle like an octave - again, 8. These guys are not joking around
So, the Panic Attack + Lyrics video was posted 11 years ago at this point, when ANNOTATIONS were still a part of TH-cam videos. The original uploader had the lyrics in the annotations, originally (I should know, I've had the song favorited for 11 years). When annotations were killed, the uploader moved the lyrics to the description box.
So glad you took the suggestion man! It is an amazing song that I think is over looked by many people reacting to Dream Theater. Keep up the amazing work man!
I love this song. Both this one and Never Enough are HEAVILY influenced by Muse. In particular, Stockholm Syndrome and Hysteria, respectively. Even that style of singing at 6:22 is a nod to Matt Bellamy's falsetto and in Never Enough, that loud breathing is also something Matt does a lot. I recommend anything from Muse's first four albums (my favourites being the second and third).
@@reverendjackyll Quite true, but it is reasonably thought that Dream Theater used Octavarium to tribute those that inspired them, while paying respect to those that have come after them, like Muse.
Bro, Dream Theater songs The count of tuscany - Album A change of seasons - Album The ministry of lost souls - live version A Nightmare to remember - Album Octavarium - Album In the presence of enemies part I and II - Live version
Mike Portnoy is one of the greatest metal drummers. Hail to you for giving this a listen. The next song you should check out, in the same groove, is Toxicity by System of a Down.
Got me looking like Cosby. I lost my drink when you said that.:) Dream Theater - Hollow Years Live At Budokan watch one of the greatest guitar solos in the history of music!
I got the meet the band after a show last month in Peoria, IL. They're all super cool. I didn't get to meet JP, but I really wanted to meet John Myung. I reminded him of my bass he signed two years ago.
There's almost nothing to compare these guy's to, loved them since "A Change of Seasons".. Someone suggested your channel to me, I gotta say I am diggin on yer reaction brother. 🤘 ROCK 🤘
i got my 6-string bass because of dream theater. i still cant play correctly any of their songs, but the 6-string did improve my playing and forced me to have a better understanding of music.
When it comes to pure musicianship it's hard to beat Dream Theater. You may or may not like their style of songs but Bro they each and everyone are players.
Rush,Periphery,and Meshuggah can compete with the Portnoy/Mangini and Petrucci drummer/guitarist duo for sure. But as an entire group instrumentally,they’re pretty much the pinnacle of musicianship. I’m not the biggest fan of Rudess,and LaBrie’s vocals hold this band back from being one of my favorites. But there’s no denying their collective talent and creativity.
try listening to Space Dye Vest and Count of Tuscany by Dream Theater. They are slower and a little different than most Dream Theater songs. Both are beautiful songs that give me goosebumps!
Yeah, these guys are an amazingly tight band for the complexity of the music they play, and they rarely miss a beat live either. Whatever you hear on the album, any song, they can reproduce live.
Dream Theater. pound for pound, is the most talented band out there. Their only weak spot (in my opinion only) is their vocals. Instrumentally they are untouchable as a group. Listen to Liquid Tension Experiment for the drummer and guitarist's side project.
@@pablosole3700 Yeah I get it. He's a talented singer, but I don't think his voice is comparable to the musicians (even the old stuff). I wish him only the best though.
@@swordmonkey6635 to each their own, LaBrie has really grown on me over the last 15 years. I think his vocal range really suits the music. been to many shows, and my experience has been fantastic. (he hasn't screeched at my shows i guess)
@@Paregoros123 Lucky you. LaBrie's vocals are really shaky live and his vocals are hit or miss. I remember when they played Wacken 2015. The beginning of the show was a mess by his part. Afterlife and Metropolis were notoriously bad, he screeched a lot and went off tune. But as the show went on, he started to sing better, his screeches became screams (which were fitting, as they were playing heavier songs, like Panic Attack and Constant Motion), and Bridges on the Sky (I think) was almost flawless.
Singer wrote this song to describe what's it like to have severe panic attacks. Glad I don't have them anymore. I wouldn't wish them on anyone they're that bad.
Here are some song suggestions of Prog/Rock & Metal: Dream Theater: Hollow Years Live in Budokan. Rush: The Necromancer TOOL: Jambi Deep Purple: Burn Rainbow: Stargazer Blue Oyster Cult: Psychic Wars
If you like DT man you gotta check out Portnoy's new prog supergroup called Sons of Apollo. They kick ASS like no other newer progressive rock band at the current moment in my opinion.
@@Thiago_Alves_Souza Awesome! I figured I'd throw their name out there for ya since you put some pretty awesome suggestions too. The Necromancer is one of my favorite Rush songs and Caress of Steel is my favorite album of theirs maybe, no actually I can't pick any favorites hahahaha. Btw SOA just put the first song for their next album out yesterday if you haven't heard it yet!
You really should consider doing "The Best of Times" from them, it was a song their former drummer wrote for his dad that was fighting with some terminal cancer, and he managed to sang it to him in his bedside before he passed away. Listening to the music while reading the lyrics is quite an experience, I reckon would be an amazing video. Cheers!
For the people in dream theater world 🌎 those songs 🎵 and guitar solos are powerful and strong 💪 vocals ❤ drums are the best and the rock 🤘 all metal is every were now new York city ✨ and other countries and city's every won now rock fan alex
Musicians's musicians. Super technical geniuses. A lot of their music isn't accessible to a lot of people, can be exhausting. Forsaken( watch video) is a track that makes fewer demands, but is still awesome.
I've always hoped a good reactor would do the entirety of The Astonishing, with the story and lyrics in front of them. Moment of Betrayal is just incredible, but I'm not sure standing alone, out of context, it would have anywhere near the spine-chilling punch. I never thought The Astonishing got a fair shake... a lot of fans were so butthurt over Portnoy leaving they never really gave it a chance. If you study the story and really, really listen to it, it's a deeply moving epic saga. Every time I listen to it, I come out shaken and off-kilter for the better part of two days. I actually *don't* listen to it that often because I feel like it costs me some piece of my soul each time I do. I see comments all the time on their newer stuff, "Man, they never should've got rid of Portnoy" and the like. Well... he quit. What were they supposed to do? They could've disbanded like so many others. Instead, they faced into it, held auditions, and moved on, a bit awkwardly at first perhaps, but as they've gelled as a group with Mangini, and as he's matured beyond just showing off his technical prowess into becoming a true, fully-melded member of the band, I think they've done some of their best stuff ever. Plus, I mean, geez... how many more albums about alcoholism, insanity, and 12-step programs did we really want? I feel like they've gotten a breath of fresh air and got to explore some new ideological and creative ground, making the title of their first album with Mangini extremely poignant: A Dramatic Turn of Events.
You will be blown away by the different masterpieces of those guys (octavarium, illumination theory, the count of tuscany...). Try live versions from Score, budokan or Boston when available... enjoy the ride.
Panic attack is a great tune. Dream theatre ous an awesome band. A few others from them that you should check out are "forsaken", "schmedly wilcox" live, "pull me under", "Peruvian skies", and "dark eternal night". You'll love those ones
Song request, because you're such a good reactor: Dream Theater's "Constant Motion." Take your time though, their library is pretty big and they have so many epic songs
@@jovanyzapata4602 Uh, no, not with DT, cause then you have to know ALL the odd time signatures. And correctly guess the countless transitions. Or just listen to the song a few dozen times until it's in your soul.
The lyrics are likely in the video descriptions, instead of showing up on the screen. But if you want to hear something crazy from them, try The Dance of Eternity. It has over 100 time signature changes in 6 minute.
Please do one of these :) Si Tu No Te Fueras- Marc Anthony -LIVE Hasta Mañana - Grupo Limite Ayudame or Fuerte No Soy - Intocable Wait for the Moment - Vulfpeck Tennessee Rain - Addison Agen Fruta Fresca - Carlos Vives Abusadora - Oro Solido (if you wanna jam out hard lol) Palabras del Alma - Marc Anthony Viveme - Laura Pausini Veronica - Cristian Castro Yes this is my list for you for now and if and when you pick one I’ll remove for the next time I suggest lol. 😜
Excellent!!! Im glad you like to explore this kind of musical projects, Dream Theather i think are the best representation of progressive metal. Check out "The Dance of eternity" "Pull me under" "The dark eternal night" and one of the heavys "As i am" Peace
One thing to always remember about Dream Theater is that they are 100% music nerds, and I mean that as a compliment. Octavarium as an album is wrapped around a series of mathematical concepts relating to 5, and 8. In the case of Panic Attack, some people find the track hard to listen to, as the music seems to be off-tempo at times, but that's more related to the time signature jumping between 5/8 and 8/8. The 8/8 parts, those we're used to, and 4/4 is probably the most commonly used time signature in western music as a whole. Those 5/8 parts? It can seem like the measure is missing notes, or has too many, but it all works together to create that mental dissonance, and exemplifies something like a Panic Attack.
I personally found the song a pretty accurate description of panic attacks.
It is
Oh for sure. I've had a few in my life and they arent fun
No shit
It's quite panic attack inducing lol ,very great work you legit sweat after hearing it
Sounds more like anxiety leading to a panic attack
That intro Bass line. Master Myung rocks!
All the members are talented beyond words, and you are quite correct. Anytime someone jokes about a bass solo just being E E E E E E, I direct them to 4:38 of Panic Attack.

Verse 1]
All wound up, on the edge, terrified
Sleep disturbed, restless mind, petrified
Bouts of fear permeate all I see
Heightening nervousness threatens me
[Bridge 1]
I am paralyzed
So afraid to die
[Verse 2]
Caught off guard, warning signs never show
Tension strikes, choking me, worries grow
[Chorus]
Why do I feel so numb?
Is it something to do with where I come from?
Should this be fight or flight?
I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight
[Verse 3]
Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest
Agitated body in distress
I feel like I'm in danger
Daily life is strangled by my stress
A stifling surge shooting through all my veins
Extreme apprehension, suddenly I'm insane
Lost all hope for redemption
A grave situation desperate at best
[Chorus]
Why do I feel so numb?
Is it something to do with where I come from?
Should this be fight or flight?
I don't know why I'm constantly reeling
[Refrain]
Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety
Run, try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium
[Instrumental Break]
[Keyboard Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety
Run, try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

Always check the descriptions. A lot of people just play the song and add the lyrics in the description or pinned comment.
"They got me lookin like Bill Cosby!" HAHAHA
“Music you can’t bob your head too”...welcome to Prog 😂
Ibanez Lefty Club you can bob your head, you just got to know odd time signatures. 🤣
@@jovanyzapata4602 Uh, no, not with DT, cause then you have to know ALL the odd time signatures. And correctly guess the countless transitions.
Or just listen to the song a few dozen times until it's in your soul.
Jeffrey Scott 🤣
You can't bob your head in 11/8 time?
@@jovanyzapata4602 "just got to know all time signatures"
FTFY
absolutely love this song!
Solitary Shell is my favourite of Dream Theater's. It sounds like nothing else they do. Pull Me Under is also their biggest hit.
Mad Props for making it through a very progressive song !! Prog Metal at it's Best !!
intense!!!! one of my favorite DT songs.
The lyrics are likely in the video descriptions, instead of showing up on the screen. But if you want to hear something crazy from them, try The Dance of Eternity. It has over 100 time signature changes in 6 minute.
"Got me lookin like Bill Cosby" funniest thing I've heard all year.
Shoulda watches the live version. Seeing John Myung play the bass riff is impressive af.
Glass prison by dream theater !!! By far their best song!!!!
you must see them in concert listen “home” live or a balad trough her eyes “ live version
Cool Reactions! More DT reactions please!! Dream Theater - A Fortune In Lies (Live At The Marquee)!
Love your channel
Dream Theater is up there too!
They probably pasted the lyrics down in the description. I sometimes see videos where people do this and it says "+ lyrics" in the title of the video.
Best of times doesn't disappoint
Funny. This was the first song I've heard from them too!
Please do one of these :)
Si Tu No Te Fueras- Marc Anthony -LIVE

Excellent!!! Im glad you like to explore this kind of musical projects, Dream Theather i think are the best representation of progressive metal. Check out "The Dance of eternity" "Pull me under" "The dark eternal night" and one of the heavys "As i am" Peace
greatest prog metal band period.
I've noticed some videos that say "with lyrics" sometimes put them in the description and not in the video.
Or - and this is total speculation - maybe they just claim it's a "lyric" video to avoid ©opyright strikes? Which would be odd cos lyrics are just as protected as audio and video, but it's TH-cam, where there's no consistency or logic. Just rules & regulations.
You really need to react to them live.....a whole 'nother experience...lol
One thing to always remember about Dream Theater is that they are 100% music nerds, and I mean that as a compliment. Octavarium as an album is wrapped around a series of mathematical concepts relating to 5, and 8.
In the case of Panic Attack, some people find the track hard to listen to, as the music seems to be off-tempo at times, but that's more related to the time signature jumping between 5/8 and 8/8. The 8/8 parts, those we're used to, and 4/4 is probably the most commonly used time signature in western music as a whole.
Those 5/8 parts?
It can seem like the measure is missing notes, or has too many, but it all works together to create that mental dissonance, and exemplifies something like a Panic Attack.
It switches between 7s and 6s a lot... so the pulses change size a lot. Hard to keep a steady bounce.
You are awesome!!!
The drummer is actually singing the background vocals.Portnoy is GOD
1:18 'RRR, rrr, rrr' 'boogity bing bong.' DT fucking rules
