I will always remember the first time I heard this song. I was in the car on a family trip and we were just about to get on the ferry from Gothenburg, Sweden to Kiel, Germany. Me and my brother in the backseat when this song came on the radio. Glorious band I’m im still a fan. Saw the Images & Words tour live and last year in 2022 saw them on the “A view from the top of the world” tour. It’s never to late to be a Dream Theater fan bro 😊
Oh!! There's also their recent stuff like Distance Over Time and A View From the Top of the World. Believe me! Every single album from Dream Theater is amazing in their own ways. They also just won a Grammy for Best Metal Performance for a song from the latter album mentioned above called The Alien. It's a phenomenal and epic track as well.
@@boki1693 That's understandable but it's still better than most of the garbage in the music industry. I just kept an open mind to the direction they were taking on The Astonishing. I feel it's quite a brilliant concept album. If they had released it in the 70s they would be as popular as Queen or Rush.
saw them do this live way back in the day and note for note perfect, I was in the front row right in front of Petrucci (guitarist) got a high five from Portnoy (the drummer), and cause we got to the club they were playing so early, we met them when they were in the parking lot by their buses, and they invited us in for sound check. What a day and night. They played like a 3 hour set it was incredible.
You should check out "Sleeping Giant" and the Grammy winning "The Alien" from the latest album! They are the marquee prog metal masters and are on top of their game!
They have a whole concept album called Metropolis Part 2, and the whole chorus/chord theme (?) of the album is the first verse riffs of Part 1. The song Home from that album is so very good, I'd love to watch you react to it. Many other gems in that album.
In 1992 I heard DT for the first time on a PHX radio station KUPD. The DJ announced it as: "If Metallica and Rush had a baby, it would be Dream Theater." So I listened and fell for the great sounds of both songs they had on the radio. Later I thought..."If Iron Maiden, and Rush had a baby..." The vocals and time changes were too hard for Metallica. :)
As an even older music fan (My faves are Pink Floyd, Moody Blues and Jethro Tull) but I really liked Dream Theater for my first time listening to it. Oh and the Drummer and Vocals were: Dream Theater Mike Portnoy - Drums John Petrucci - Guitar John Myung - Bass Kevin Moore - Keyboards James LaBrie - Vocals
@@ilyas_claymore i prefer rudess over moore.....and either of them over the other guy....cant even remember his name......that being said, i do like moores playing quite a lot. i just like rudess more.
Hell's Kitchen / Lines in the Sand (combined) if you're into guitar. Great solo and complex play by Jon Petrucci. Count of Tuscany for losing yourself in one of those many so well-told stories. Musically complex and multi-layered. And ALL those below mentioned are worthy :)
There's so much epic greatness from Dream Theater to recommend. May I suggest Learning to Live next. It's like Steely Dan on steroids. 🤣🤣 There's also A Change of Seasons, Octavarium, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, In the Presence of Enemies Parts 1 and 2, Illumination Theory (live in Boston), Metropolis Part 2, and In the Name of God. Be prepared however. Dream Theater does explore some dark and heavy themes. But they do it with such brutal technicality that is beyond ridiculous. This includes the Alcoholics Anonymous suite which consists of 5 epic tracks over 5 albums. It includes: 1) The Glass Prison 2) This Dying Soul 3) The Root of All Evil 4) Repentance 5) The Shattered Fortress You're in for 30 plus years of intensely epic music.
You jumped right into the deep end with one of their craziest songs, right next to the instruemental "The Dance of Eternity". They have more standard sounding stuff, and everything in between.
I also highly recommend their side-project: Liquid Tension Experiment (LTE). Songs like "when the water breaks" or "acid rain" are just great instrumental tracks. ^^
More for you to checkout. Band name 1st. Song suggestion 2nd. Panzerballet: White Christmas Fates Warning: pleasant shade of grey Beardfish: sleeping in traffic part 2 Coheed and cambria: welcome home
Check out, “In the presence of enemies” part 1 and 2 together probably the best link between old prog and Dream Theater’s prog with some metal without being too much to spice it up a bit. Also check out The Neal Morse Band, similitud of a dream, The Great Adventure and the last one Innocence and Danger, Mike Portnoy ( Dream Theater’s pre 2009 drummer) plays and contributes to Neal Morse band, genius work and American pride like DT since most and better known prog bands are British ✌🏼
Stumbled on your channel. Great job my friend 👍👍👍. I love Dream Theater. They have several songs that are 20+ minutes!!!!! I would love for you to do anything at DT.
Every DT fan has their favorite album and I like Train of Thought because most of it it very heavy metal and Petrucci's guitar drives so much of it. His song "As I Am" on that album is Petrucci's answer to the record company that wanted them to change their music to what was more popular.
METROPOLIS PART 1 Is LEGEND💜🤘🏽. Its the song made me fall in love with Dream Theater and play guitar💜 i like your reactions man i hope you keep makin more Dream theater✌🏽🤘🏽
Drummer Mike Portnoy was heavily influenced by Rush, Genesis, etc. If you like early Genesis and Yes, etc, check out Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy in Transatlantic with Neal Morse of Spock's Beard, Roine Stolt of The Flower Kings, and Pete Trewavas of Marillion. Portnoy & Morse also play together in the Neal Morse Band and also in Flying Colors with Steve Morse of Deep Purple & Kansas, Dave LaRue of the Dixie Dregs, and Casey McPherson of Alpha Rev.
The drummer’s name is Mike Portnoy. He also plays with Neal Morse, The Neal Morse Band, Transatlantic, Flying Colors, Sons Of Apollo, The Winery Dogs, OSI, and probably a few other bands that I forget or even I was not aware of lol.
Drummer Mike Portnoy, vocals James Labrie, Bass John Myung, Guitar John Petrucci, Keyboard Kevin More. Check out the live show from the Boston Opera next time. There is an epic song called “Illumination theory” that is a breathtaking masterpiece.
@@SebaProgre Exactly. I love Mike Mangini, he's a beast of a drummer, but in my opinion, DT hasn't been the same since the departure of Portnoy. Mangini doesn't write lyrics or contribute vocals. It's a different feel. Enjoyable but not the same. My opinion.
@@mikenastasi8927 Yes, there are a ton of stuff that Portnoy did behind the scenes that fans usually don't know. Lyrics, concepts, album covers, playing covers live, documentaries, the inspiration corner ...the list is endless. I'm sorry for Mangini because he will never be at the level of contrtibutions of Portnoy.
I love the musicians in this band, the singer not so much. 3 of these guys plus Tony Levin make Liquid Tension Experiment, check them out live, it’s great!
Other prog to check out: Everything by Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson. Brilliant music. You won't be sorry! Start with "Arriving Somewhere but Not Here" and "Anesthetize" by Porcupine Tree, then "Drive Home" by Steven Wilson. Those are a few of my favorites.
Great track, from a great album, by a great band. DT has earned their place at the top (as well as the number of tracks on the list). There are, however a lot of others around from the past decade or two (some you may have heard of, most probably not). Here's my list, with sample tracks for each, that deserve a listen: Symphony X - "The Odyssey": th-cam.com/video/MaN3pwBsRf8/w-d-xo.html Circus Maximus - "Glory of the Empire": th-cam.com/video/PgJvBfQh_cE/w-d-xo.html Vanden Plas - "The Last Fight": th-cam.com/video/MnLTwldY630/w-d-xo.html Threshold - "Mission Profile": th-cam.com/video/GaxkZdAEUXU/w-d-xo.html Earthside - "All We Knew And Ever Loved": th-cam.com/video/KVh_Y4o3C0Y/w-d-xo.html Shadow Gallery - "Crystalline Dream": th-cam.com/video/efwkJxVHa9U/w-d-xo.html Starcastle - "Lady of the Lake": th-cam.com/video/_OgrMMQZf1c/w-d-xo.html (reputation earned as YES lite) Just sit back and enjoy.....love to see a reaction to a few of these).
"Modern prog", lol. DT started in 1985, and the song/album is from 92. thats 30 years ago, by the way. And how a "prog head" never heard any of dream theater is beyond me. A little doubt, but okay. It's like a metalhead that hasnt heard of Metallica. Anyways, you got quite the journey to go through if this is the only thing you have heard of them. Fantastic band, fantastic music, for the most part. Mike Portnoy is the drummer as you probably know now, hehe. As a drummer myself he is probably my number one inspiration. Him leaving and Mike Mangini taking over kind of ruined dream theater for me. Mangini is technically superior and faster and all that but he's not a musician like Portnoy. It's never boring with Portnoy. He adds so much to the songs, without being too much. And the groove is something Mangini will never match. It's amazing how good mangini is and how.. static it all feels.
@@ophreacts214 I'd recommend Breaking all illusions next. Its from the first album with their new drummer, Mike Mangini. I think its DT's best album although its quite underrated by the fanbase. They are definitly influenced by bands like Rush and Metallica but their skill level is much greater in my opinion.
OPH, I second that recommendation for Breaking All Illusions. If you figure out a way to watch live concert videos (by limiting the size of the window or limiting the opacity), Breaking All Illusions from the Breaking The Fourth Wall concert Blu Ray in Boston is a great choice. Dream Theater are not just a bunch of Berkeley and Juilliard guys who are great studio musicians; they are amazing live, as well. Enjoy.
That must be an old list because this song is 30 years old. Since they release a new album about every 2 years, they have many songs now better than this one.
Somehow I never saw this comment originally, but just saw it now. Easy. I explained in my first videos and in the description that I'm an OLD prog head. Grew up with the classics, but never, somehow, knew that anyone was making anything that was "prog" beyond the early or mid-80s. That's basically the whole POINT of my channel. I'm trying to catch up! Anyway, thank you for stopping by and sorry I never saw this before. Cheers.
This is very old DT stuff. They did so much better stuff since that time. Once you begin to dig into this band, this will occupy your minds on a permanent basis for many months if not years…. You should listen to the albums Scenes From A Memory and Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence, their two best albums in my opinion. Octavarium was also a very good one.
I wouldn't exactly call this 'modern prog' it's over 20 years old at this point. But I get the point. Saw the reunion live show for this album and I'll never have to go to another concert ever again.
It's relative. Compared to the "classic" prog era of the 60s-70s, this is "modern". Doesn't mean it's "new". Anything post 1990 is considered the modern prog era. Thanks for stopping by!
The album that introduced me to progressive metal!🤘🤘
Me too and probably a ton of others
Same! There's just somethi g about Petrucci that I wasn't getting from other bands, and now I love all the ones that I used to skip.
Vocalist is James LaBrie from the great country of Canada 🇨🇦! Glad you enjoyed. Cheers from Canuckland!!!

@@alanalanis2257 It's definitely not for everyone, but it's certainly not horrible.

"Very Rush like..." was when I knew I was going to dig your reaction.
Mike Portnoy on the drums, James LaBrie on vocals, and John Petrucci guitar and John Myung on the bass.
You should check out "Sleeping Giant" and the Grammy winning "The Alien" from the latest album! They are the marquee prog metal masters and are on top of their game!
This be OG DT!
Way back.
They have a whole concept album called Metropolis Part 2, and the whole chorus/chord theme (?) of the album is the first verse riffs of Part 1. The song Home from that album is so very good, I'd love to watch you react to it. Many other gems in that album.
This is my favorite song of dream theater 🎉
In 1992 I heard DT for the first time on a PHX radio station KUPD. The DJ announced it as: "If Metallica and Rush had a baby, it would be Dream Theater." So I listened and fell for the great sounds of both songs they had on the radio. Later I thought..."If Iron Maiden, and Rush had a baby..." The vocals and time changes were too hard for Metallica. :)
the iron maiden part is definitely true for their first album
As an even older music fan (My faves are Pink Floyd, Moody Blues and Jethro Tull) but I really liked Dream Theater for my first time listening to it. Oh and the Drummer and Vocals were:
Dream Theater
Mike Portnoy - Drums
John Petrucci - Guitar
John Myung - Bass
Kevin Moore - Keyboards
James LaBrie - Vocals
Am I the only one who prefers Kevin Moore's playing more than the current keyboard player?
@@ilyas_claymore Lol most of the fanbase prefers moore over rudess. I do aswell although its mostly because of the choices of keyboard sounds.
@@ilyas_claymore No you are not the only one. This line up was the best. ie Portnoy and Moore
@@ilyas_claymore
i prefer rudess over moore.....and either of them over the other guy....cant even remember his name......that being said, i do like moores playing quite a lot. i just like rudess more.
Hell's Kitchen / Lines in the Sand (combined) if you're into guitar. Great solo and complex play by Jon Petrucci.
Count of Tuscany for losing yourself in one of those many so well-told stories. Musically complex and multi-layered.
And ALL those below mentioned are worthy :)
Images and Words is such a classic album 👌. I'm so happy that I found a reaction to Metropolis part 1.
There's so much epic greatness from Dream Theater to recommend. May I suggest Learning to Live next.

Who needs a song chorus when you can play like that!!😂

And Porcupine Tree! :)
Really recommend At Wit's End from album Distance Over Time by Dream Theater.
Thanks buddy! Was a great one! Welcome to the journey of Dream Theater ❤️
One word, OCTAVARIUM
I also highly recommend their side-project: Liquid Tension Experiment (LTE). Songs like "when the water breaks" or "acid rain" are just great instrumental tracks. ^^
