6:20 famous last words
i read this wondering what part it would be at and after realizing that he could not have timed that comment better i had to come back here to 1000% agree with you
In The Presence of Enemies pt.1 and 2 are quite simply beyond words. Pure magnificence is the best I got. 🤷🏻♂️
Dream Theater is a musician's band... progressive metal kings and were influenced heavily by classic progressive bands like Rush... Yes ... Genesis ... King Crimson... Pink Floyd... as well as heavy metal bands like Metallica... Queensryche ... Megadeth ... Fates Warning...
Formed as the band Majesty in 1985 when John Petrucci (guitar) and John Myung (bass) attended Berklee College of music and met Mike Portnoy (drums)... They wrote and recorded original demos and played occasional shows until the band was signed in 1988 and recorded their debut album 'When dream and day unite'... They changed the band name to Dream Theater after a movie house in California where Mike Portnoy's dad lived and released the album in 1989 w/ Kevin Moore (keyboards) and Charlie Dominici (vocals)... but the album was a crude effort (but showed promise musically) & failed to sell and was never promoted by their record company.
Dream Theater kept writing and recording demos into 1991 and finally found James LaBrie (vocals) as their permanent singer... Their second album 'Images and words' was released in 1992 and they began touring for the first time... "Pull me under" was a hit single in '92 on radio, then on MTV and 'Images and words' sold gold in the US (half million copies) and sold strongly in Europe and Japan.
Keyboardist Kevin Moore left Dream Theater in 1994 after recording their 3rd album 'Awake'... Derek Sherinian (keyboards) joined between 1994 and 1998... but subsequent records like 'Falling into infinity' in 1997 failed to sell up to expectations.
Frustrated w/ the music business, Dream Theater opted to record a concept album based on the 1992 song 'Metropolis Part 1' w/ Jordan Rudess (keyboards) joining the band permanently... 'Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a memory' was released in 1999 and the band performed it in entirety on tour and commanded a loyal fanbase that flocked to their shows across the world.
Dream Theater became more ambitious musically w/ the double CD "Six degrees of inner turbulence' in 2002 and the heavy record 'Train of thought' in 2003 ... It was followed by the album 'Octavarium' in 2005 as Dream Theater celebrated their 20th anniversary as a band.
In 2007, Dream Theater's commercial sales rose quickly after the release of their 9th album 'Systematic Chaos' ('The dark eternal night' was from this album)... followed by the top 10 (and 10th) album in the US - 'Black clouds & silver linings'.
In 2010, drummer Mike Portnoy announced that he was leaving Dream Theater to focus on other musical projects.
In 2011, Dream Theater announced that Mike Mangini (drums) was hired to replace Mike Portnoy and the album 'A dramatic turn of events' was another successful album... followed by the self-titled 'Dream Theater' album in 2013... and a cinematic double CD concept record 'The Astonishing' in 2016... Dream Theater lost none of their appeal after the albums 'Distance over time' in 2019... followed by 'A view from the top of the world' in 2021... They won their first Grammy Award for the song 'The Alien' in 2022 for 'Best Metal performance'.
In 2023, the band announced that original drummer Mike Portnoy was rejoining Dream Theater and would work on a new album in 2024... ousting Mike Mangini in the process. They announced an overseas tour w/ their new album completed and due out soon.
Breaking All Illusions live from Breaking The 4th Wall is a must! Perhaps John Petrucci at his all time best !!!
Good call, one of my absolute favorites from them
Please please please check out The Count Of Tuscany by Dream Theater. It’s a prog metal masterpiece with tear inducing solos and the most beautiful tones I’ve e we heard in my life. Dream Theater is second only to Tool in my mind, although I would consider every member of Dream Theater to be a virtuoso!
Rush, Uber Alle...
Signal boost!
I don't think there's many bands where the keyboard player goes off as hard as the keyboardist in dream theater.
yup. Jordan sets the standard
My favorite band. You picked a good one to start off with
Check out the album Train of thought from these guys… it’s all awesome… if not the whole album check out as I am, dying soul, or in the name of god… and keep in mind half the “guitar” soloing you will hear is actually the keyboard player.
"Excuse me" was super fun 😅
Very progressive l. John Petreucci the guitar player is amazing
More dream theater please!
Get ready for THE BEST overall band for the last 20 years, which you NEVER heard on the radio. Also, all their side project groups are great too.
The closest thing that comes a little close to comparison is Rush. Rush IS my favorite band and Dream Theater my 2nd. I am 59 and been with dream theater since their second album.
Enjoy
always loving your honest reactions! the music isn‘t overwhelming“ made my day👍 turning 50 this year - and been listening to my fab5 since 92, seen them 10-15 times live here in germany and i am looking forward for the new album with mike portnoy again. from their 94 masterpiece (every album is) „awake“ you should listen to the three-part song „a mind beside itself“, where we have great instrumentals („erotomania“), powerful intense stuff („voices“) followed by the beautiful „silent man“
If you’re diving into the DT discography then Octavarium is a must
I was the one that requested it in the live stream. The entire album is a full story. Great reaction!
Ooh rah Devil Dog...Army Infantry here - great choice!
I am glad you liked this song from one of my favorite bands. You jumped into the deep end with this track and you swam and enjoyed it. Excellent!
Another side of them that's a little more accessible is "Under A Glass Moon". I think you would like it. 👍
If you want to hear a musical story, Mike Portnoys 12 step suite is astonishing. Starting with "The Glass Prison". Highly recommend for a react.
Sure, a concept album is cool and all. But he did a concept over five... Respect
The lyrics are based on HP Lovecraft's story Nyarlathotep. I could try to summarize or explain it to you, but you'd be better off looking the story up yourself lol.
Great reaction to a great song! Yeah, the lyrics is supposed to be inspired in an H. P. Lovecraft sort of way.
Amazing prog-metal song!
Man these guys have recorded some really strange, Yes-inspired shit.
Love the off time signatures
thank you for the reaction to my favorite band.
this song is just about an ancient pharaoh. nothing too deep. they went fantasy route that album. BUT, speaking of anime characters, they have a twopart song called "in the presence of enemies" which is an adaptation of the beginning of a korean manwha called "priest". maybe you'll like it even more.
Even Michael Jackson in his prime as a dancer would have had an impossible task interpreting this song!!😁Dream Theater Is a Mindf@ck of a band. Rush is the only other band I would put before them...
Chek out The Light and Shade of Things by Fates Warning, please.
i think the tune is about monster movies we all watched as kids
6:26 oh.. i spoke too soon? 😅
Mike Portnoy is the bomb
What type of music you truly enjoy will define what songs you like from DT. They're all over the map, kind of like Smashing Pumpkins but with a shit ton more talent (Technically). Billy Corgan's writing is damn near flawless in the 90s. Every album has a different sound so it totally depends on what type of metal / prog/ music / etc that you enjoy. My personal favorite is Metropolis Pt2 and The Astonishing. I could give you 2nds and 3rds but there's no point.
Mugs, I left a couple of messages on buy me a coffee, 3 songs.
if u didn't listen to System of a down, definitely need to react, as deep as crazy songs
This is probably not the best song for a Dream Theater introduction lol
I still liked it
It was actually my first time hearing it as well. It was enjoyable. It’s just reaction videos take a lot of work, I just hope this one doesn’t scare you off from doing more Dream Theater lol
@@Jihavoh777 Nah never 😂😂😂😂😂
@@MugnifyRTS I’m glad! They’re a super dope band. I don’t listen to them on the regular and obviously don’t know every song, but they are such masterful musicians I rank them second best behind Journey 😜
It's not, however as he said, he enjoys multipart long songs. That's pretty much most of the catalog of dream theater. Going with that. I HIGHLY recommend A Change of Seasons, 20+ min long epic with multiple parts including excerpts from Dead Poets Society. It's also a song that personally got me through a lot during a dark time in my life.
react on Armenian Space station please
This song lacks cohesiveness. It has impressive musicianship, but doesn't have the relatable sound that their 1992 album Images and Words had, with songs like, "Metropolis-part 1" and "Pull Me Under."
@@R777-RLM Very subjective comment. I respectfully disagree 1000%.
@@alanalanis2257 I see your point. Good way of putting criticism, by the way.
😢this is prog metal which you will never understand
@@jamessewell5636 how do you know I'll never understand?
@@MugnifyRTS He's wrong, anyone will understand with enough attentive listens, that's why Dream Theater grows on you more as you listen and your ear adapt & gets used to more complex arrangements.
My favorite bands have been System of a Down and Dream Theater so i understand the connection you made there. It's hard to explain but there's affinity in the taste, creativity and sometimes craziness between these 2 bands.
I disagree, Mugs loves him some Tool…. And this wasn’t the best into the DT… if he sticks with em and gets a little better guidance he will love them
@@shupakiko Mudvayne vibes also...
