Tbh i havent heard many jazz keyboard players from the 40's and 50's mimic a metal guitar sound and play at the same speed as a metal guitarist shredding. Yes it may be that i haven't heard enough keyboard/piano, but it has nothing to do with whether i sing Jazz or not.

It's basically Dream Theater (Petrucci, Rudess and Portnoy, who was the drummer before Mike Mangini) with a different bass player (Tony Levin here, using a Chapman stick, instead of John Myung) and without singer James Labrie.
And they formed and put out their first album before Rudess was a part of Dream Theater (their keyboardist at the time, Derek Sherinian, was their second choice to Rudess who was unavailable when he was hired). So John Petrucci is the only LTE member who has consistently been a member of Dream Theater across the supergroup's existence.
Well, when LTE was conceived, Derek Sherinian was DT's keyboard player, so it kinda made sense back then. Then it became redundant. Now that Portnoy is out of DT, it's not redundant anymore.
Mike Portnoy was approached by Mike Varney of Shrapnel Records about the possibility of assembling a supergroup to attempt creating and recording an instrumental album in one week's time, including the writing of the music. Liquid Tension Experiment is the result. John Petrucci was the last member added (guitar), because Portnoy wanted this project to be completely separate from Dream Theater...however, when he could not find a suitable guitarist for the project, he reached out to his bandmate Petrucci was Dream Theater. Jordan Rudess (keys) is one of the best who ever played keyboards. At the time of the first Liquid Tension Experiment album's recording, he was just someone Portnoy had always wanted to work with. By the time the second LTE album was released, Rudess had also joined Dream Theater. So basically, you were watching Dream Theater's instrumentalists with a different bassist. The song you listened to/watched, as well as the rest of the album, was written basically by improvisation. A few of the members brought some beginning ideas, then the band jammed around with them to write the songs. The first album was indeed written and recorded in a week's time. Tony Levin (bass) is another guy Portnoy wanted to work with. He's from King Crimson, and he's playing an instrument called the Chapman Stick on this song (and much of the album). So far, LTE has released two albums, with another album soon to be released. There is also a related project called Liquid Trio Experiment featuring the same guys minus Petrucci. One last tidbit...Mike Varney of Schrapnel Records approached another drummer with the same idea. This drummer is Terry Bozzio. He formed a very eclectic trio featuring Steve Stevens (guitars, Billy Idol) and the same bassist as LTE, and they also created an improvisational album that was written and recorded i one week's time. Their band was called Black Light Syndrome, using the first letter of each member's last name as a template. Sorry for such a long comment! God bless!
@@gregorykenfield3134 you had the energy to type in the information in this comment. So kudos to you.🙏 Kudos to Portnoy as well. Love the DT guys. Mind checking my covers of John Petrucci on my channel? They're not that good but I'm trying. xD
The bassist is Tony Levin, playing a Chapman Stick. He's probably the most well-known master of that instrument. You'd know him from King Crimson's '80s lineup, and Peter Gabriel's band (all of his big hits from "Solsbury Hill" on) and he's been on dozens of other recordings since the late '70s with many, many popular artists and bands.
John Petrucci - Jesus Lookalike (and side gig as DT guitar player) Jordan Rudess - DT keyboard player Mike Portnoy - Former DT drummer Tony Levin - Bass legend
This band seems to have been rediscovered! I'm seeing reactions everywhere (finally) and derive great joy for first time listeners. Their songs are even better after multiple plays, there is so much to unpack.
Like you, this was my first time hearing this! HOLY CRAP that was something else! I think I'm going to have to delve into some more LTE in my near future! Cheers for this - made my Friday morning!
Isn’t it humbling, and overwhelming when you discover music you hadn’t know before? I’m near 60 years old, and I’m discovering music every day, some new, but much that’s been around, and I wonder how I didn’t discover it years ago. It’s the infinite nature of music. And it’s always satisfying to see fellow travelers discovering music just as I do.
Approaching 60 here as well. Been a DT and LTE fan for years. In terms of discovering "new" (to me) music, lately I've been getting into a lot of metal that I missed the first time around. Opeth and Voivod are two excellent bands that have been around for decades, but which I've only gotten into recently.
Tony Levin from King Crimson is on bass, he's playing a Chapman stick. If I remember correctly it has 6 bass strings and 6 guitar strings, I think it's almost always played tapped, and you can tap bass and treble lines simultaneously like a piano composition. Members of King Crimson and the Crimson Projekct seem to love these instruments for their compositional flexibility, and there's other instruments like the Warr guitar (played by Trey Gunn) and the Touch guitar (played by Markus Reuter) with multiple bass/ guitar strings played simultaneously to fill out the sonic space.
Hello Tommy!! Im glad you checked out some LTE stuff 🤟🏻, they have very good music.... they are unreal!! Thata why i would like that you check out Awake album from Dream Theater! Also! When the water breaks from this same concert! Be well man!
Dream Theater and LTE fans like myself are struggling to hold it in when you tell us you're not sure which one John Petrucci is, but that's okay, no one has to share our same enthusiasm. I'm just glad you took the time to watch and listen to these amazing musicians. By the way, LTE' genesis was a record label tapping Mike Portnoy to form a 'allstar' band and gave him freedom to pick players who might be available. While Jordan Rudess and Tony Levin are amazing musicians, when it came to choosing a guitarist, Portnoy didn't have Petrucci in mind originally, he noted that he was probably looking to distance the project from Dream Theater, but after some other guitarist considerations ran into availability issues, he came back to the idea of his Dream Theater's bandmate Petrucci as the guitarist and acknowledges in retrospect that Petrucci was the perfect guitarist for the project.
Mike Portnoy - drums - founding member of Dream Theater until 2010, Neal Morse Band, and numerous side projects. John Petrucci - guitar - Dream Theater Tony Levin - bass/Chapman Stick - King Crimson, Stick Men, Peter Gabriel, numerous side projects, and probably *thousands* of session musician gigs Jordan Rudess - keyboards - Dixie Dregs, Dream Theater, numerous solo projects. Rudess was not a member of Dream Theater when this band was formed, but long before this concert had joined DT, replacing outgoing keyboardist Derek Sherinian.
This bass instrument called Chamen Stick. Two sided finergoard espeically invented to (split) tapping bass plaing stiyle. This fingerboard hase two registers. The lowest string is in the middle. I don't like it because (as a bass plaer) I don't feel the lowest bass registers. This is an instrument for special players for.
Legit probably in the 5 digit realm man. It is fucking absolutely unreal, he’s playing faster than the ear can discern unless you have lots of training 😂😅😭
one of the greatest concerts of my life was these guys in Detroit. I've been to at least 100 shows in my life, and these guys really are a head above the rest. Edit: John Petrucci is the guitarist. He is easily one of the best in the world today.
Basically, you're looking at Dream Theater minus the singer and bass player, with Tony Levin of King Crimson fame on "bass", which is actually an instrument called a Chapman Stick.
Jordan rudess(keys) is one of the best keyboardists i know. he is a juliard graduate and to put it into perspective juliard is a school. for intense classical study and as of 2019 had a 7.6% acceptance rate
Hello Alan, I agree, their version of Rhapsody in Blue is amazing. The sheer fact that these instrumentalists thought to tackle that piece is itself impressive and underscores just how wide and broad the progressive rock ethos is.
So it IS, basically, Dream Theater with a different bassist (Tony Levin actually plays something called the Chapman Stick, which is like a 12 string bass that you finger tap on). However, at the time they originally formed, the Liquid Tension keyboardist (Jordan Rudess) was not Dream Theater's keyboardist. Because they gelled with him so well in this project, and because they were already letting their current keyboardist go (who they'd always thought of as a temporary keyboardist after their original keyboardist left them), they asked Jordan to join Dream Theater.
So what I know - this was formed basically after Rudess declined to join Dream Theater in 94 (went on to join Dixie Dregs instead) but Portnoy was still keen AF to play with him so they made LTE along with Petrucci and Levin. And then like 2 years later or something Rudess joined DT anyway haha. Side note: Petrucci wasn't Portnoy's first choice for guitar - Dimebag Darrell was!
Tony Levin is a legend beyond all legends. Can't be overstated -- everyone else in that band looks way, WAY up to him. Dream Theater were all still a bunch of kids when Tony was literally playing bass on a freakin' Pink Floyd studio album.
You should check out John Petrucci's solo albums. They are incredible. The best rock/guitar instrumental music ever. Check out Suspended Animation and Terminal Velocity.
@@ThomasJ_Music I suppose in some way, yeah, but this is much wider, the average stick has from 10 to 12 strings and you can't pick it traditionally, i mean, you can, but the action is so low that it would sound like crap.
All I am saying is that this live recording has the most unapologetically bad ass guitar solo ever played in front of a live audience. Hands down, John Petrucci is the greatest of all time. No contest.
LTE is one of the many many many bands Mike Portnoy is in. It was meant to be a Dream Theater side project back in late 90s, he asked Dimebag Darrell from Pantera (you already reacted to one of his songs) to play guitars but wasnt available then, so he asked Petrucci instead. And it is because of the success of LTE, that they both Portnoy and Petrucci invited Jordan Rudess to join DT for their album Metropolis pt 2: Scenes From a Memory in 1999.
Just to clarify one thing, MP and JP had already invited JR to join DT prior to LTE 1 (right after Kevin left), but he went on to join the Dixie Dregs, so him becoming a part of DT didn’t have anything to do with LTE, they already wanted him since before that.
That was a celestial conjunction. By that time I would go to sleep listening to that album in a loop with headphones. I always woke up in the "open your eyes Nicholas" part lol. I would fall asleep again and wake up again in the same section.
Highly recommend you check out the 80s King Crimson - with Tony Levin in full stick beast mode (oh and Fripp too): th-cam.com/video/kREFiWkUE_M/w-d-xo.html
They are from a "little" band called Dream Theater (excluding the bassist). They're only some of the biggest names in.. Well, the prog genre, metal, fusion.. Idk. Famous for being some of the best players on their respective instruments. You havent heard of either portnoy, petrucci, Levin or rudess?
The keyboardist rotates because there are different pedal setups on each side. If you watch you will see him look down and activate a pedal each time he turns. It's not for show.

And the good news are that they're coming back in 2021 with a new album: LTE 3.
SUPER HYPED!
In case you've missed: on March 26th th-cam.com/video/jWP4JLUxiqY/w-d-xo.html
Just as sick as ever. They dropped a single
And now that it’s out...
WOW!
The Passage Of Time is my new fave. As a well seasoned, hack drummer, the numerous time signatures blow my mind!
If you thought that was crazy, do 'When The Water Breaks' next from these guys, same concert!
Word!
That is much better musical work of pure art.
This is more crazy prog metal. When the Water Breaks is a piece on par with the Great Composers. As someone said, a work of art
