The keyboardist is Jordan Rudess and he graduated from Juilliard. He's insanely good at piano, and uses the keyboard to its full potential cause he's very passionate about being creative with it and pushing its boundaries.
What's funny is he's a bit of an elitist, and he says if it weren't for the fact that every single member of the band not only is skilled in their instrument but is also skilled in music theory, he wouldn't even consider playing metal.
If you like heavy and experimental, I wouldn't recommend Octavarium though I know it's what every fanboy asks for incessantly. It's not for everyone, and a lot of people are turned off by it. The Shattered Fortress might be a better option for you or In the Name of God. 🤘
i agree octavarium just doesent stick with me because of the insanely long keyboard solo at the beginning
Apologies in advance if I'm explaining things you already know. AA chapters are meetings of recovering alcoholics, (always recovering, never cured) where those in attendance can receive support and advice from those who have struggled with the same problems and challenges. They are generally identify themselves by first name only.
The Glass Prison was the first tract of what eventually became a five track suite chronicling Mike Portnoy's progress through the AA twelve step program. The complete suite consists of:
1. The Glass Prison - from 2002's Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
2. This Dying Soul - from 2003's Train of Thought
3. The Root of All Evil - from 2005's Octavarium
4. Repentance - from 2007's Systematic Chaos
5. The Shattered Fortress - from 2009's Black Clouds and Silver
I hope that helps.
The sound samples which was all weird noises except the cheesy siren, was the wizard Jordan makings. On keyboards. And he does that live as well!
Dude the entire Train of Thought album by Dream Theater will drive you totally nuts. The second part to The Glass Prison is on that album. It's called This Dying Soul. Please react to this entire album!!
Yeah agree
There's also the 12 step suite . Think they played it live one time.
The Dream Theater song Through her Eyes and Hollow Years brings out the incredible ability they have to play something more simple and extremely melodic and heart-wrenching.
clicked on this just because it's a cool song, so was pleasantly surprised to see some sharp and cohesive insight. You come across as thoughtful and intelligent, which is very nice to see. Keep it up man. Oh, and listen to Octavarium
Sam Jones thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! And I'll for sure do octavarium at some point. Probably just wait till I have a few hours to spare haha.
Please Check out Dream Theater - Scarred!
added to the list!
Ooh thanks for doing this song, glad you enjoyed! This one is arguably the heaviest Dream Theater song along with Constant Motion (excluding Train of Thought album). I guessed that yoy were going to choose the epics, A Change of Seasons or Octavarium, so you surprised me :)
If you ever listen to Octavarium, its shortness will astonish you, although it seems like 24 minutes. It's way less heavier than this, probably better and more quality. I bet it's not like something you have listened to before, but you will hear many other bands in the song as well. It's hard to explain, but beautiful to experience :)
Anyways, great review as always! Keep up the good work!
I think The Dark Eternal Night is very very heavy too :P
Yeah thanks for the suggestions, definitely had a good time with this one! And don't worry, I'm for sure going to do Octavarium at some point. Just gotta find the time haha.
DT have huge variety of sound over something like 12 albums. Took me a while to get used to the singer, James LaBrie. I like them now though, very talented musicians.
Pulse yeah I've definitely been warming up to them over the past little while. I love the experimental nature of their songs. Well, at least the two songs that I've heard haha.
Octavarium live on Score
Subbed for dream theater and notification button!
React to anything off of Images And Words album. That is the first album with James LaBrie on vocals (he joined the band in 1991 after Charlie Dominici was fired, beating out 199 other auditionees). Images And Words was recorded right away and was released in 1992. It’s their breakthrough album that got them international attention. They toured for the album before (as a showcase for LaBrie being introduced as their then new official singer), during and after the album’s release until late ‘93. They then recorded the follow-up album Awake (released in ‘94) which took a darker angle both musically and vocally (another masterpiece). It was the last album James LaBrie recorded before suffering food poisoning when he went on vacation with his wife. He ruptured and bled his vocal chords because of violent vomiting (right before being due to tour for the Awake album). The band (including LaBrie) couldn’t afford to cancel the tour, so, going against doctor’s orders, LaBrie agreed to tour for the album (because you’ve got to make a living), so he took steroids for his vocal chords to maintain throughout the tour. He has said he didn’t feel fully healed until around 2003. He has been with the band since 1991- present, but Images And Words showcases exactly why he was chosen to be their singer. It is my favourite album primarily because of his soaring vocals, and he is the reason I’m a trained singer.
Wow that's crazy! And thanks for the info, I'll keep it in mind when selecting Dream Theater songs.
P.S. I hit that notification bell so I'll be watching homie!!!
holla! Next video will come out tomorrow!
Criticizing Dream Theater simply means your brain hasn't evolved enough yet to comprehend the next level of music. :-p Jk. Dream Theater is black hole physics set to music. The culmination of Yes, Rush, Metallica and Steve Vai.
You should give The Great Debate by Dream Theater a listen, it's very proggy, and was mind blowing at the time of release. It's about the debate of Stem Cell Research, And they use things like news clips and different arguments to form the song. Off the same album as this song
Sounds interesting, I'll add it to the list!
Dude listen to octavarium if you want to hear the best from these guys its a 24 min epic and slays on all fronts also the keyboard solo is probably on a korg kronos a high end synthesizer
I second that! Every time you listen to it, you discover something new
Metropolis 2 is the best music they've written imo....-_-
@@michaelrene2551 If only it was short enough to react for them at once. It's over an hour and I don't think anyone will react to it completely. Sad :(
@@michaelrene2551 Its a masterpiece but I didnt connect with the story as much or alot of the music. I still love it and listen to all DT up till portnoy left but just much more like a opera or play than octavarium
ha, yeah its probably hard to connect to a story about reincarnation or a past life as a woman ...ect I think thats what it has to do with,, but then again I mostly listening to music, and arrangements, LoL.
Nice reaction and nice choice of song! :) The whole 6 degree album is one of, if not the best technical production they made, the sound engineering is amazing! The whole 8 part suite "6 degrees of inner turbulence" is a journey through mental distress. It's not something to react to though, better to enjoy like wine! ;)
If you like astonishing vocals and musicianship, I'd suggest Pain of Salvation, you should react to "On a Tuesday", "Idioglossia", "Beyond the pale" or the whole BE album... the signer and founder, Daniel Gildenlöw, is truly a gifted genius... You won't regret it!
It’s about Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12 steps of recovery they adhere to. This is the first song in a series that covers the whole process over the next 4 albums.
...which are
- This Dying Soul (from Train of Thought)
- The Root of All Evil (from Octavarium)
- Repentance (from Systematic Chaos)
- The Shattered Fortress (from Black Clouds and Silver Linings)
Give Sikth a try, most songs will do, perhaps "Philistine Philosophies" or "The Aura"
Hey, what's up, man. I've been listening to alot of Dream Theater songs recently, and I'd like to reccomend some songs to react to. Maybe Instrumedley, Hollow years, The spirit carries on, or Enigma machine. Amazing songs, btw, Imo.
P.S. Maybe Ytse Jam, or Hell's Kitchen, if you want some instrumentals. And btw, Enigma Machine, Instrumedley are instrumentals.
This channel deserve more subscribers
Why thank you
agreed
Nice detailed reaction! Dream Theater have been my favourite band for almost two decades before I discovered BABYMETAL. Interesting that so many people recommend Glass Prison, to me it's one of their weaker songs. Since you obviously know your stuff, I'm sure you'll find a lot of stuff to like in their catalogue. Jordan is the greatest keyboard magician I have ever heard (I especially love his staccato sounds like those that seemed to throw you off a bit during the second verse), and Petrucci makes the guitar cry like no one else.
Moon Tooth - Queen Wolf
Oh wow what a cool suggestion boooooiiiiiii
Slash ft. Myles Kennedy - Read Between the Lines
skitz npcs deserve to be reacted to
Hi !
When you do Octavarium PLEASE do a live version like the « Score » one :-)
I can see that you « get » a lot of things about DT which means that you will so much enjoy the rest of your journey into their best other long songs :-)
Can’t wait to see it !
Cheers from Paris
Definitely if you do a live version, it HAS to be the Score version.
glass prison = music for guys with ADD. when they get it right its fucking mental.
when they get it wrong its instrumental masturbation.
i go back n forth on the singer.... hes .... ok.
petrucci is utterly insane and portnoy .... man.... replacing him was an outright fucking mistake. rudess is always an absolute beast. and myung is very solid although not as virtuoso as the other guys.
this dying soul by them
I seriously can't understand why James (DT) vocalist gets so much hate, as if he is the worst vocalist of all time. He's so terrible that he's still touring and making albums (as a huge DT fan the last few were severely lackluster with the absence of Portnoy) but yet he still remains
Da Propellerguy It's not based upon the albums, he's ok there, it's the live performances that he tends to get lazy. Although it would be hell to go through long tours playing 2-3 hour shows constantly. Instead of perhaps dropping an octave, he tends to do this lifeless screeching that can just take away from the song. I think he's learned to conserve and manipulate his voice better in recent years to make it cleaner, but he's still got work to do.
Another thing is that some of these songs take him out of his realm of singing, some songs were not made for his voice. His raspy singing just doesn't fit well.
James LaBrie really shines on "The Astonishing" album. He really shows his range and versatility. The album isn't as well received as the rest of DT's discography. It's the one album that actually puts LaBrie's talent ahead of the band for once.
@@MetalMann-de3xi What do you want the guy to do? No vocalist can always flawlessly sound on point in a live setting. They don't in the studio either and that is to be expected since professionally recorded albums take time versus being on stage, so you have the luxury of "this didn't sound very good, let's do another take." I know it well recording an EP in a pro studio years back.
There is no way in hell unless you are the most consistent vocal maestro of all time to consistently sound like your studio work, that is gone over and picked clean until you get what you need for the album in question. You want all the parts to synch up for an album, and so what if he/she vocalist can't match verbatim in a live setting the multiple days and cuts to ensure a good performance on a medium that can be enjoyed over and over (CDs, vinyl, etc)
In my mind people bitching about everything not sounding exactly as recorded are a bunch of fucking morons. Almost as if they think every song on their favorite album the band did it in one take, everyone together at the same time and nailing it. "Well shit I paid money for tickets to see this show and he doesn't sound exactly like what I hear in my headphones" and it would have been better if they played a compilation over the speakers and the band just stands there?
Anyone who bitches about their favorite vocalist not sounding completely on point and amazing as the CD you bought when you see them in concert are ignorant living in a fantasy world and have never picked up an instrument in their life or went to a studio.
Da Propellerguy I'm not expecting it to be on point like the album. I respect LaBrie, because like I said in my prior post, they demand a lot from him in concerts. I've also said he's been improving his flaws. He needs to get a vocal coach to help him find ways to produce less strain on his vocal cords to help aide his performance, especially in the very demanding parts. I don't know if you know what I'm talking about. It would be difficult to explain in just text. I'm not slamming the man, I'm just pointing out what he can improve.
@@MetalMann-de3xi Very fair points, but I would like to point out there was a time after Awake was recorded that he had a bad case of food poisoning abroad that took a toll on his overall health but affected his vocal chords a lot as well. Look, I know he doesn't sound great live but no one truly does if it's clean singing. I love Dying Fetus and if there is something wrong and messed up vocally you would never know. Even major pop and country stars can sound awful live, but nobody is calling for their heads. Studio trumps live all day everyday, and just have some empathy that they are doing the best they can with all the spotlights and the pressure. After all is said and done, it always well with the audience loving it.
For me, it's not that labrie is bad or anything, quite the contrary, he's actually a very good vocalist, it's just a comparison issue, every other member is world class in their instrument, and as such he can't shine as bright
If it's not the guitar, the instrument playing the solos will usually be the keyboards.
Have a nice day!
Sharpstick okay yeah, I figured it must be some keys/synth thing. Thanks!
It was a bass and a synth
Hey brother, new subscriber here. I like watching rap fanatics dive into metal and expand their horizons. Speaking of unmatched talent please check out PROTEST THE HERO!!! The song "A life embossed" is about the unfair bans and euthanasia of pit bulls in America and Canada. "C'est la vie" deals with suicide and it's affect on others. Both songs have videos on you tube. They have the BEST singer in the biz and all the guys are technician level musicians. If you do this your ears and face and soul will be rewarded with unbridled metal euphoria!!!! Please please please please please please do a video from them. The world needs to see it!!!!
It's ambulance not police..
As a life long Theater fan, this song was not the best choice.
Something from six degrees or scenes from a memory would have been best.
Fair enough. Got any favorite songs off those albums?
@@JuniioMusic The glass prison it's actually from Six Degrees of inner turbolance :P.
About Scenes From a Memory, you should react on the entire album, cause it is all "linked" and tell a really amazing story, one of the best concept albums out there.
Anyway, I would recommend Octavarium and A Change of Seasons, 2 amazing suites, totally love them.
Well, thats rather personal. For a lot of people this is one of their best songs.
Alex hefner
try to react the band that made Semen Wizards
React to versailles ruclips.net/video/Oqo7Xbfncpo/видео.html
It is sad to know that Labrie could have been a much better vocalist hadnt it been for the food poisoning he got in early 90s that damaged his vocal cords.
Why were you so keen for the vocals to come in? Just enjoy the music.
maybe review the skitz npcs
2:57 sorry but keyboard can not doo pinch harmonics
wow do you like of rock?
way too much talking!!!
Mike Dervos if you want to listen to the song go find it and listen to that instead.... Then it's not a review or a critique, why not watch yourself in a mirror watching yourself listening to a song?
i dont mean it like that...try to review at the end of the song because when you pause it all the time you loose the feeling of the song man ...in my cause this is true! just saying
I wish you wouldn't stop it as much as you do, i prefer if you would comment the song after you listen it!
Kristjan Bahun if you want to listen to the whole song as one go find the many copies of the song across RUclips. It's also a requirement by RUclips to comment on the song and not play the song in it's entirety and has to stop it to comment it within a certain amount of time.
Another question is how do you comment about a song like this, there's so many different sections of music here, how do you not pause it?
You're looking for a critique not someone eating Cheerios while listening and say, that was good, like and subscribe for more, next time I'll pet my dog while listening to Slayer... And say I didn't like it.
