I had the fantastic opportunity to chat with the one and only John Myung of Dream Theater. Co-founder, bassist and notoriously quiet artist opens up about Mike Portnoy's return, new album Parasomnia, his love for Rush and the upcoming 40th anniversary tour.

You did the impossible. You made John Myung speak :D
It's great to see John Myung doing more interviews these days. Always such a thoughtful communicator
I could have spoken to him all day!
Famous metal player comes in to support small metal channel. We're all metal :)
Exactly, it's all for the love of metal!
I love how John Myung has been so open and available to interviews during this time promoting the new album! For the longest time Myung was the one that had little to no exposure in interviews, I wonder what got him to be more available to talk. Great interview! I'm so glad I found your channel!
Thank you so much!!
I think he's really happy and excited about Mike being back. There seems to be a fire in him right now
He’s so much more enthusiastic than usual ❤
I love that man, you can tell how much more confident he feels in his car, rather face 2 face interviews.
Good job for you two !
Brilliant interview.Loved the way you let John talk freely without bombarding him with multi-part questions or interruptions, very interesting listen.
I really loved this interview. John doesn’t do many.
Not that I go searching for them, but having followed DT since 1992, this is the VERY first Myung interview that has ever popped up in my YT recommendations. I have watched a ton of interviews with all of the other guys and I know it is cliche, but it really did seem like JM just never talks. Great to hear his thoughts on things.
Wow! That was a great interview. Congrats! 🤘
Thank you! 💜🤘🏻
Really a great interview, thanks!
What a great interview! As a bass player I'm a huge fan of John Myung so it's such a treat to see (or hear) him do more interviews these days and opening up more than he used to.
He was so chilled and definitely a deep thinker!
Great interview, and what a shocker with the 5 band question, really took me back to when I was in to the deftones, RIP Chi.
And as others have stated beyond that troll fucker, seems Jon was really comfortable in this interview, and probably one of his best.
Thank you. Great interview and so great to hear from John. It would be great to hear him add violin to the Dream Theater sound.
Thanks for letting John just speak. We don't hear it that often. He's cool.
He was so lovely to chat to!
He really is. 💙

Thank you!
Yes John!
Very good interview Lindsay. While I know that Dream Theater is a very talented group and I respect them for what they do. That being said I was never a fan of them. I've always checked out their albums but none of them have ever stuck with me. Just never got into them. John is a awesome! Bass player thought. Which I have had his bass guitar video tape many years ago because im also a Rock and Metal Bass player. Great channel you have here. And love your accent you have. 🙂🤘
Thank you so much!
Awesome!
The story John tells about hitting his head, I was at the show that next night in the Seattle area. He sat on a chair with a bandaged head and still played the show. The management was willing to cancel the show but John said no. John is a warrior!
Does he talk about jelly jam? I remember giving those albums a spin back when they were released. Always so so good to hear from the man. As much spotlight as he wants IMO. I think he's the most passionate about the band because he lives to play his instrument of choice.
wow! thank you
Finally!
he speaks!
He did! A lot!
Night Terror isn’t actually the first track on the album. I guess it’s the first track with vocals.
take a shot each time he says "you know"
I think that would destroy me 😂
@@theheavymetaljournal Your liver be like: "Nooooooooooo!!!..." lol
new york style.. you know
Wow, guess John's type is Scottish lasses. He was practically rambling. Great interview!
don't get me excited here 😂 Scottish lassie who loves John Myung ❤
Well,this is a first!😅
Hot female actually has knowledge progressive metal concepts and history of said genre.
To avoid falling asleep (irony) play at 1.25x otherwise u have no chance.
This is the longest Myung sentence ever in history. 👀
Speaking of amps the Chinese are now majority owners of Marshall… Where is the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882??? 👀
This is fake AI John Myung. The real human version is in the studio practicing to a metronome. 😳.
How fitting that Petrucci came up with the concept of Parasomnia. His interviews will put the dead to sleep. 👀
Lame interview questions! Please cite all cd sales since Awake…. 👀
Each CD since Dr. Kevin Moore hit the door is nothing more than a thinly veiled platform for EGOmania. Fail! This band should be renamed and now called EGOmania. The Kevin Moore era smartly balanced technical chops with great melody & counterpoint. Just facts!
My brother, that was back in 1994 wich is 31 years ago. How can you still be caught up on it lol
