That awkward moment when you are talking to an unknown band but you know - as an interviewer - who will only give you silence (and dont ask him anything).
Ian Cunningham It's just the only video I've seen him talk in is where he screws up and basically says "there's a bass solo in this song where I do a bass solo" and the redundancy of it cracks me up for whatever reason.
The most talented musicians of the entire award show and they get one interview from a chick who has no idea who they are. And to top it off they don't win a grammy, because the foo fighters win every rock category. I'll put money that the voters for the metal category never even listened to DT. These guys deserve so much more recognition after 26 years of amazing masterpieces. The grammys remind me of high school, one big popularity contest. Rock on DT, rock on.
This band is so talented. Probably the best musicians in the world. I'm not really sure if they've won a lot of awards, but honestly, when you go by how good albums and songs are, these guys are the best at what they do. I don't care how not well known they are.
"A 9 minute song?! :O " . . . . "Yes yes madame :( . Like You, we are saddened and surprised that the academy unfortunately has chosen one of our shorter ones..."
There is not many bands so talented and original like Dream Theater, I think they are brilliant, sadly underestimated by public who don't recognise quality. Me and my children love them and glad to get tickets for upcoming concert in London. They are absolute legends to us!
the fact that they didn't win means nothing to me... even if they were never nominated, in my book they are definitely some of THE best musicians, song-writers, and performers on the planet! so proud to see them get some attention in the main-stream, though. maybe someday millions more will appreciate the true geniuses these guys are...
Mike Mangini always looks so professional yet welcoming

I am actually glad that Dream Theater does not fit these type of industry, its a place where music is only a vehicle to make money and not the opposite, making money to keep doing what they love and dreamed of doing. They are in a world they invented themselves, they are free to be creative they way they can...Also it is very good to be a part of something different from the rest of the world, to know how to enjoy something so beautiful and complex that most of people cannot understand.
I think it's epic of how far the public has come. Listening to Brand X who were never paid for their work back in the 70's on imported albums because Americans didn't even know how to characterize the sound to being nominated for best performance is phenomenal. Great Job Dream Theater, I'm so happy for you.
Asking Dream Theater who they are looking forward to hearing at the Grammys is like asking Picasso which kindergarten drawings he is looking forward to studying in depth.
grammys are a pop award, even their cattegory hard rock/metal, it will always be won by the metal song that reaches de radio or the billboard thats why pull me under its the only song by DT that couldve ever win the grammys but wasnt even nominated. its great and funny to see them in a red carpet, sure they had a lot of fun
Fast forward to a few years later when they won it for a 9 ½ minute song in 17/8 that never got any airplay, beating out Rob Zombie, Mastodon, Gojira & Deftones. Who knew? 🤷🏻♂️
If they've been nominated for a Grammy award it means they've done something wrong. I love DT and its not important for me if they ever win a Grammy or not their music is enough for me.
They are not acknowledged by the academy. They are the academy. Those guys who won the whole mess just simply are not at that level to dare to have dream theater as a competitor.
Wow, what an insult...She said see, people are rooting for you. Well I would hope so. like that's so hard to believe. I gave up on the Grammy's when jethro tull beat Metallica in 89'
@@corystanford4491 Tull are a legendary prog band....... they are great, but that year Metallica was nominated for "Justice" album, so you can imagine, how absurd it looked, when Metallica lost...... with an album like THAT, you're not suppose to lose to ANYBODY
Why the hell metal bands care about grammys? stupid academy doesn't even bother to seperate metal from rock in their website menu.. or at least give it a damn more credit, the only metal section is "The best performance". DT DOESN'T NEED any grammys to be proven or anything. Let academy keep its jems for Drake, Pharrel or coldplay... the shit.
Silvi Moemtahana yes, and I wanna kill myself :'v nah, I think he just said that to give a good impression, I don't know.... at least he said they want to see Van Halen performing, too.
Jordan was like I'm talking, let me finish bitch at 1:16 and Magini's face expression at 1:40 is priceless; he was like OMG is this some kind of a joke? LOL
Kinda sad when non-mainstream bands try to get recognition like this. Dream Theater is very popular & pretty much Mainstream in the Prog Metal world but they are unknown to the general music crowd who are really into The Grammys. But I realize it's a business and it's a good opportunity to advertise.
What do you mean they were only nominated for grammy in 2012??? after all the previous albums and performances, Dream theater are well-known but so underated at the same time.
And this is why the music industry is a joke. Dream Theater is the greatest talented band ever and they have never gotten a nomination because they choose to actually focus on music and not some cheesy 3 minute pop song. They don't need to waste their breath and time on these sheep. This interviewer literally had no idea who she was talking to, WHAT A JOKE!!! They are the true alphas of the music world. Greatest fuckin band ever.
James: We are extremely excited. This is a dream come true for us, to be acknowledge by the academy to have a 9 minute song that's up for a possible grammy... Interviewer: A 9 minute song???! Hahaha... It's good that she doesn't know 'bout Octavarium, A Change Of Seasons or 6 Degrees Of Inner Turbulence... I think she would have fainted right there on the red carpet. :)
That awkward moment when you are talking to musician gods but you don't know anything about it.
exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, hahahaha
Too bad they didn't win, but then again... DT is far above the Academy.
That awkward moment when you are talking to an unknown band but you know - as an interviewer - who will only give you silence (and dont ask him anything).
@@eennymo they only didn't win because if they did every single previous grammy award winner would feel that they are of less value (and they are)
James : "a 9 minute song"
Her: *can't believe it's that long*
Dream Theater: *can't believe it's that short*
The reason Myung doesn't speak is because he realizes he is too godly to come down an acknowledge the peasants at this mediocre "award" show.
lol
Lmao ! So true ! I ve seen him live ...he is on the stage in a meditative trance while he plays away his bass guitar ! Great Respect !
This is the comment I was looking for...
comment answer that im looking for , good job
That’s funny, 😅😂🤣😂😅😂🤣
after 10 years, they finally won Best Metal Performance..congrats!
I got here by searching "John Myung interview". I guess this is the closest I'm gonna get.
haha me too! exactly :P
same lol
The same haha:)
bla3912 haha me too :P
Me too haha
She's trying to find which master alpha male to speak to.
Plot twist: They're all master alpha males
she is amazed about their song being 9 minutes long... wait until she listens to octavarium or a change of seasons
+Francisco Neves Or the Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence that's 41 minutes long..
Francisco Neves hahaha change of season if im not mistaken its a 24 minutes song 😂
Francisco Neves she’ll never be prepared
She's going to get a headache if she listen to Enemies or Instrumedley.
I got the impression she never listened to Dream Theater. "Wow, 9 minutes?"
Love that fact that Myung is just like "I'm not talking and i'm okay with that" in most of the videos i've seen. :)
Normally, John Myung doesn't talk. But when he does, he is very wise and says some very deep stuff
Ian Cunningham He doesn't talk much, but when he does talk he talks about a bass solo in a song called metropolis where he does a bass solo.
I guess most of the time he lets the bass do the talking for him.
Ian Cunningham It's just the only video I've seen him talk in is where he screws up and basically says "there's a bass solo in this song where I do a bass solo" and the redundancy of it cracks me up for whatever reason.

Perfectly said and dead accurate DT rules
DT is one of thee best bands to exist in our time.
They are in the grammys again for Alien, might get them the nommy.
They finally won lol but its 29 years too late
Well Dream Theater finally got their Grammy for Best Metal Perfomance with “The Alien”!!! :D
This band is so talented. Probably the best musicians in the world. I'm not really sure if they've won a lot of awards, but honestly, when you go by how good albums and songs are, these guys are the best at what they do. I don't care how not well known they are.

"A 9 minute song?! :O " .

"Yes yes madame :( . Like You, we are saddened and surprised that the academy unfortunately has chosen one of our shorter ones..."
It would be hilarious if for example octavarium was the nominated song. She would be like "is this the entire album or something?"
I just noticed how short Mike Mangini is lol
He is probably about 5'5" to 5'6"
All drummers are short lol
@@kevinmeli Danny Carey is 6'5.
I’m 6’2! Haha that chick is tall!
@@kevinmeli No Marco minneman 6'4 neil pert 6'4 research more you idiot. Gavin Harrison 5'10
*sigh* she has no clue who she is interviewing
Her: "is there anyone you're looking forward to seeing performing tonight?"
Jordan Rudess: "Pffff, no!"
LOL
That was the best part. Then: "Paul McCartney... Van Halen... Coldplay."
Almost a good save, guys. Hysterically well-done.
She doesnt even realize she's leaving out the most important man in the band!!
Myung of course. Many wisdom he has
I like how she was surprised that she was talking to Dream Theater and then they mentioned an average length song from them
Another great interview of John Myung!
That interviewer is the reason I barely give a crap about mainstream stuff
There is not many bands so talented and original like Dream Theater, I think they are brilliant, sadly underestimated by public who don't recognise quality. Me and my children love them and glad to get tickets for upcoming concert in London. They are absolute legends to us!
Dream Theater has intros that should win grammys
1. Set video speed to 0.25%
2. Go to 1:38
3. Look at Mangini's face.
4. Let hilarity ensue
ohhhh hahahahhahahha
i heard that John Myung's parrents were mimes.
the fact that they didn't win means nothing to me... even if they were never nominated, in my book they are definitely some of THE best musicians, song-writers, and performers on the planet! so proud to see them get some attention in the main-stream, though. maybe someday millions more will appreciate the true geniuses these guys are...

Fast forward 10 years. Congrats guys. That Grammy was way overdue.
I think it's epic of how far the public has come. Listening to Brand X who were never paid for their work back in the 70's on imported albums because Americans didn't even know how to characterize the sound to being nominated for best performance is phenomenal. Great Job Dream Theater, I'm so happy for you.
lol mike mangini stands like the timid little brother of the bunch
BEST BAND FOREVER !!!! THEY SHOULD WIN !!!
Asking Dream Theater who they are looking forward to hearing at the Grammys is like asking Picasso which kindergarten drawings he is looking forward to studying in depth.
Lmao that’s so god damn true
They should have won so much more
James Labrie and John Petrucci are the legendary musicians i cant say enough
they are so modest to be a rock gods.
Black suit, black shirt, black tie, black hair....John Myung wins the styling outfit.
the interviewer had no idea she was talking to THE GREATEST set of musicians she'd ever meet in her entire lifetime! sheeeeeez! :-D
I love this band so much
I think it's hilarious that she never pointed the mic at John Myung. HOW DID SHE KNOW?? lol

This is the first time I've seen Petrucci so nervous
Myung smiles at 00:20 XDDDDDDDDD
Dream Theater is too good for grammy
I'm already a Jordan Ruddess fan and my respect for him now is over 9000!
"Is there anyone you're looking forward to seeing perform tonight?"...........damn tough question right?..hahaha
DT should have won a Grammy back in 1999 for Scenes From A Memory imo.
Grammy's out of ALL Dream Theater songs, they picked this one... I hope DT have many Grammys
And the fact that they didn't win but definitely should have says everything about the legitimacy of these "awards".
0:19 this is so good, how she pointed the mic towards JMX and then immediately put it away
Journalist - Which one of you guys should I talk to?
John Myung - Him
Omfg it’s been ten years since seeing this... I have this song onboa it’s been a good time with mangini
If they've been nominated for a Grammy award it means they've done something wrong. I love DT and its not important for me if they ever win a Grammy or not their music is enough for me.
John Myung with the all black suit really fits his character.
I remember this... I remember Dream Theater losing the grammy against the Foo Fighters 😶
They are not acknowledged by the academy. They are the academy. Those guys who won the whole mess just simply are not at that level to dare to have dream theater as a competitor.
They just don't belong on this type of events, it's too glamorous for them. And of course, their quality is incoparably better than other performers.
Good lord James is a great frontman
Wow, what an insult...She said see, people are rooting for you. Well I would hope so. like that's so hard to believe. I gave up on the Grammy's when jethro tull beat Metallica in 89'
Big Tiny Who’s Jethro Tull and why’d Metallica lose?
@@corystanford4491 Tull are a legendary prog band....... they are great, but that year Metallica was nominated for "Justice" album, so you can imagine, how absurd it looked, when Metallica lost...... with an album like THAT, you're not suppose to lose to ANYBODY
We going back. Hopefully she can remember us this time
Words are irrelevant in these times
Why the hell metal bands care about grammys? stupid academy doesn't even bother to seperate metal from rock in their website menu.. or at least give it a damn more credit, the only metal section is "The best performance". DT DOESN'T NEED any grammys to be proven or anything. Let academy keep its jems for Drake, Pharrel or coldplay... the shit.
it's about the exposure the band gets. they deserve way more fans.
+shaghayegh mm agreed..
For your information, DT actually loves coldplay.
I love that not even the Grammy's got JMX to say anything. Love JMX!
He did nod his head once ;)
Grande vittoria ragazzi sono veramente orgoglioso di voi dopo anni di duro lavoro è arrivato il riconoscimento della vostra arte
I like how James says "we've been acknowledged by the Academy". As if the Academy is group of intelligent or musical people...
FORGET THE GRAMMY!!!! YOU GOT THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE!
Myung is definetly my favourite member of that band !!
myung was the best speaker in the video. like always
We all love JM!!!!! :)
So weird not seeing Petrucci’s god beard.
DT wants to see Coldplay?
Silvi Moemtahana yes, and I wanna kill myself :'v
nah, I think he just said that to give a good impression, I don't know....
at least he said they want to see Van Halen performing, too.
Silvi Moemtahana I think that was a joke ;) okay I hope
I don't mind. I love both of them :D
+Zuleffendi Zulkifli (Fendi-Bull) in panic attack i heard evene Muse
+Silvi Moemtahana They just want to be polite... ^_^
Interviewer: "A 9 minute song?!"
Yeah exactly...9 minutes is not enough :)
Dream Theater must win a grammy for each disc.....is sad that people don't like the really good music
The Grammy are not the same :(
We just witnessed the last time JP shaved himself
"A 9 minute song?!" She's never heard of the band has she
Mangini is so cute he looks like an excited kid.
Damn, the interviewer doesn't know that she certainly has the best living bassist next to her....and perhaps the greatest bassist in history!
Jordan was like I'm talking, let me finish bitch at 1:16 and Magini's face expression at 1:40 is priceless; he was like OMG is this some kind of a joke? LOL
She’s come well prepared, hasn’t tried to get a word from Myung…
Just wanted to watch Myung.
Satisfied

Finally, the gods of music have entered the room...
jeez, JM wouldn't shut up
mangini's face at 1.40 is awesome!!
DAMN THEY LOOK CLASSY AF
basically the only real musicians that got a Grammy.
Mangini when she asks what performance they're looking forward to see
What do u wanna see live tonight?
John Myung: Paul McCartney.
Wow!! That surprises me. Amazing dude.
What do you mean they were only nominated for grammy in 2012??? after all the previous albums and performances, Dream theater are well-known but so underated at the same time.
LOL the awkward moment when the reporter asks which acts they look forward to seeing and everyone doesn't know what to say.

Coldplay yeah yeah hahaha.Labrie didn't mean to mention that at all I guess. Idea of the moment. Love this band!
Few are worthy to speak to Emperor Myung, the earth would quake.
"I'm trying to figure out who to turn to"
Definitely not John Myung
We have to go back tomooorow (Canadian)
1:40 I found it very funny
0:48 ♥♥♥ lindo mi petruchin hermoso, estaba nervioso
they all look so well-behaved
"See people are rooting for you" like what the "ef" lady you have noooo idea.
