Yes you are right. That is why Dream Theater is my best band in the world. They got it ALL technicality, emotion, art, trance session, story telling, powerful energy, chill out energy ..... anything !. Thank you for reaction this. “A Change Of Season” will be another great great trip and journey. One of their masterpiece.
Haha an indian origin/native indian Dream theater fan! It's very rare to find people of India into prog Rock and soft metal genre and related genres especially into the GOAT bands like DT,Pink Floyd, Metallica,Genesis,Rush,Guns n Roses,Yes, Queen,Iron Maiden,AC/DC etc
One of the most beautiful songs ever written ... with goofy lyrics/story. The album came with an instrumental version too. If you haven't yet, check out their song A Change Of Seasons.
Easily my favorite Dream Theater song. It’s not the most technically complicated, but it is IMO their prettiest song from a musical and compositional standpoint. The story behind it is quite funny as well. It’s based on a situation guitarist John Petrucci (along with his guitar tech) found himself in while touring in Italy. He met the titular Count who offered to give him a tour of his estate and surrounding countryside. Of course he accepted, but as the tour progressed he got spooked by some of the stories, starting with the Count telling him that the character of Hannibal Lecter was based on his brother who he was then introduced to, followed by stories of Italian soldiers hiding in the villa during various wars and dieing when they became trapped in the barrels of wine they were using as cover, and culminating with the mummified remains of one of the saints kept in the manor’s private chapel. Through a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings, He thought he was going to be killed or something and had a bit of a panic attack, much to the amusement and chagrin of the brothers. They later suggested that he write an opera with the Count as the main antagonist, so he did. XD
I love your authenticity, your real ness and how you feel the music. Dream Theater tends to bring out that in people. More Dream Theater please! Guarantee if you do Octavarium next it will take you on a journey like no other.
A story about John Petrucci went for an Adventure in Florence, Italy. The story recalled and started during Dream Theater 2002 tour where John Petrucci and his Guitar tech went for a visit to meet the Count of Tuscany and view the wine farm. But for John Petrucci this is not a regular visit as he thought it would be. Yeah, that’s another example of a story that I shared, you know, something that happened to me that I would tell my friends and family but I never really wrote about it. Yeah, it’s sort of hard to follow the story but it’s basically a few years ago when Dream Theater were playing in Florence or something and there was my friend who is my guitar tech, he’s also wine importer, so he wanted to visit a winery in Tuscany, so he asked me if I wanted to come along. So, yeah, the guy who owned the winery is a count, he wasn´t the count of Tuscany, he is a count of something, anyway he brought us to this winery, it was a very old castle in the hills of Italy, it was very bizarre, you know just really weird stories the guy told, you know, like a mummified saint and a chapel, very strange and weird, I thought it would be great to tell that story, probably make a movie of it!
Loved your reaction, Dream Theater has been my fave for years. I'm a drummer, so I appreciate the weird time signatures. I also write drum parts and lyrics, so DT has been a definite influence on me. Working on a new album concept, after two failures due to band member deaths. Our current situation gives me lots of material to express.
I went to their show in Raleigh a month ago and had no idea beforehand of their set list. They came out with this as the encore and the place came unglued. Great show, even my wife who doesn’t love rock music was impressed how good they were.
So happy you have taken to Dream Theater. What is most amazing about this group is how ridiculously well they play live, given the complexity of their material. Please do a reaction to Breaking All Illusions from the live album Breaking the Fourth Wall. And if you really want your mind blown, check out the instrumental The Dance of Eternity from the same album. They are all classically trained musicians, the guitarist, bassist and drummer from The Berklee College of Music and the keyboardist from Juilliard.
So much Dream Theater available to listen to. Definately listen to the early stuff and if you liked Count of Tuscany listen to the Metropolis albume....album.... will take a full hour of your time but it is a rock opera and tells an amazing story if you really listen to it. Musically the whole thing kills it from heavy rock, prog rock, unexpected instrumental, and very subtle ballad work as well.
This will sound ridiculous but Despite many obv differences, DT has always attributed their prog roots to the influence of "YES". THAT has always been a matter of "pride" for me lol. Cuz I love Yes... and DT :)
Ive loved dream theater since i first heard them when i was 12 - im 34 now, and theyre still my favorite.. I dont comment a lot but i appreciate that you actually "got" the music off the bat. To appreciate DT ypu need to have patience and a good ear and I can tell you have both, just by the way you were vibing with the music... Love it when people actually get the one of a kind experience that is DT. Props
My new favorite reaction guy right here. I love it how he doesn't stop every min and start describing the aspect of what he's hearing. Super cool dude. Yes, as far as progressive music they are the pinnacle. If you want to ear something deep, try the spirit carries on man. Think you will dig it as well. Keep it up!!
Dude. Glad you discovered this. If you haven't already, Dream Theater did a concept album named Scenes from a Memory. It is incredible. The entire album is one long story that you simply have to experience.
Dream Theater is on tour RIGHT NOW!! You should definitely check to see if they are coming anywhere near your area, and snag a ticket and go see them. Your jaw will hit the floor. And btw…they are playing THIS VERY SONG on the current tour as well!
Glad to see you’re moving forward with your Dream Theater journey! They’re truly one of the greatest! If you’re up for it you should react to their album “Scenes from a memory” aka Metropolis Pt 2, from beginning to end. Best album of all time IMO. It’s a concept album that tells a story about a mans regression into his past life. Anyways it would be a great reaction video idea.
I love how deeply you get into the music you listen to. Just along for the ride and taking in the journey. It’s refreshing and the way music should be absorbed. Keep it up my friend!
Pope: Same album "Nightmare to Remember" Also all of "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" (title cut) EPIC! "Presence of Enemies Pt 1/2", Enigma Machine, Illumination Theory, and esp the newest EPIC: "A View from the Top of the World"
Hello, Another amazing reaction about an insane song :). Another epic song they never played live - maybe the only one - with yet their best guitar solo in my opinion: "The best of times". Same album, the song before. Simply magic, especially lyrics. U've got an epic choice to make about DT songs U will pick ^^ The "Change of seasons" I already suggest before (live version if possible) or "Illumination Theory"... .. and all songs other people may propose... Good luck and in waiting for your next reaction ! Reguards
Still waiting on your reaction to the studio version of The Glass Prison by Dream Theater from the album Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. It's going to melt your brains out of your ears!!🤯
I agree you need to see it live I saw them once a lot of people said they copied rush I don't know who came first doesn't matter both bands are great depends on what you want to listen to. ✌️✌️✌️🎶🎶🎶🎶
Well you just gained another sub right here. Dream theater is my favorite band and I have a feeling you will be doing a lot more of these songs. If you want another long epic song I should yes illumination Theory live at the Boston opera house
@@POPE. Please react to the studio version from the album Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence!! There's not an official live version of The Glass Prison. The live version on RUclips is good but not high quality.
Ok next song, Honor Thy Father (ruclips.net/video/P_8brIcOiG8/видео.html). Absolutely have killer grooves and riffs just like The Count of Tuscany. I bet you will like it as well.
PÔPE man, Great reactions! Please put the band REDEMPTION on your list. They are a lot like Dream Theater. Songs to consider: Black and White World, Memory, Walls, and Bleed Me Dry.
You thought this was good wait til you hear some Liquid Tension Experiment. Check out Liquid Tension Experiment Live in LA. Probably the best live show I have ever seen. Just absolutely amazing and it literally sounds better than the actual studio recording’s of their songs.
Also, just a side thought. If you want something to react to outside of prog or classic rock, Primus might be a pretty good one. Jerry Was A Racecar Driver, My Name Is Mud, and Devil Went Down to Georgia are a few you could start with. They’re as good as they are funny 😆
I know I recommended something so I’m a lil pressed but good ass choice, it’s interesting, you kinda jus reacting to whatever you want which is dope tbh
The count is a friendly dude, isn’t he? Once again, incredible reaction, my dude. This is just the tip of the iceberg. We’ll be, in Dream Theater’s own words, along for the ride. My next recommendation is Metropolis pt 1. Also, your dog sounds a lot like mine lol
Illumination Theory by Dream Theater is another tour de force 20 minute plus symphonic epic that will also take your breath away. Please react to the live in Boston version of this song.
Yes you are right. That is why Dream Theater is my best band in the world.
They got it ALL technicality, emotion, art, trance session, story telling, powerful energy, chill out energy ..... anything !.

I have to agree.. I have always loved this song.. the current tour, this is the Encore.. heavenly.. cheers
myung was there too, tho i never heard the part about them telling petrucci to write a song about it, tho it is in the lyrics..
@@arpeggioblues5924 saw them perform this in Atlanta on March 12. The whole show was incredible with the encore being even better.
I love your authenticity, your real ness and how you feel the music. Dream Theater tends to bring out that in people. More Dream Theater please! Guarantee if you do Octavarium next it will take you on a journey like no other.

My absolute favorite of DT!
If all the world's a stage.. then life is a Theater of Dreams !!
I appreciate the poetic reference to Rush or should I say Shakespeare!!
My Favorite Dream Theater songs. Nice reaction, nothing like feeling the music.
This is one of their modern classics. I'm so glad they are playing this on their current tour!

Kamu sangat menjiwai lagu ini... Demikian juga kami sebagai fans DT.. Aku bisa merasakan apa yang kamu rasakan bro.. ❤🎉
Dream Theater is on tour RIGHT NOW!! You should definitely check to see if they are coming anywhere near your area, and snag a ticket and go see them. Your jaw will hit the floor. And btw…they are playing THIS VERY SONG on the current tour as well!
Can't wait to see more DT reactions! I like how real you are and how you vibe with the music

Great shirt!! I’m italian and a Milan fan!

I love how deeply you get into the music you listen to. Just along for the ride and taking in the journey. It’s refreshing and the way music should be absorbed. Keep it up my friend!
Pope: Same album "Nightmare to Remember"
Also all of "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" (title cut) EPIC!
"Presence of Enemies Pt 1/2", Enigma Machine, Illumination Theory, and esp the newest EPIC:
"A View from the Top of the World"
A Nightmare to Remember from this same album is another BEAST MODE epic.
Agreed I like that song even more than this one because it’s definitely a heavier song than this.
Great to see you give it a listen. So melodic and complex. Keep up the good energy. Like it ;-)
Dude looks like your mind was just blown in a good way
Yes, THE Masters! Great job!🙏🏻
The Illumination Theory from the Breaking the 4th Wall DVD. Live with Berkley school of music orchestra and choir. You'll be blown away.

I recommend you to react "in the presence of enemies I&2", u will like the journey there. Feel and watch the lyrics too, u will shock i guess.
These 2 songs are the most under appreciated Songs they Do. Maybe the Whole Systematic Chaos Album is underrated.
Your reactions are the best.
thank you!
You must have an eclectic iPod playlist!
havent listen to this song in a while
Try out Change of Seasons, 23min Epic earlier song. It's about the drummer losing his mother to a plane crash when he was 15.
I agree you need to see it live I saw them once a lot of people said they copied rush I don't know who came first doesn't matter both bands are great depends on what you want to listen to. ✌️✌️✌️🎶🎶🎶🎶
You really need to see A change of seasons live 2000.
Well you just gained another sub right here. Dream theater is my favorite band and I have a feeling you will be doing a lot more of these songs. If you want another long epic song I should yes illumination Theory live at the Boston opera house
Dude how amazing is it that anybody can write stuff like this it's unbelievable this or comes from down deep deep in the soul
Need to get used to odd time signature when you listen to them rather than 4/4 only 😁😁
Please do The Glass Prison. One of my favourite songs by them.
live or studio version?
@@POPE. Please react to the studio version from the album Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence!! There's not an official live version of The Glass Prison. The live version on RUclips is good but not high quality.
Yooooo!! You must react to A View From The Top Of The World!! 20 minutes that will be a blast for U, I guarantee!!!!
poor boy..this must be torture
Man, i luv dream theater tho...
Progmet rules..
Ok next song, Honor Thy Father (ruclips.net/video/P_8brIcOiG8/видео.html). Absolutely have killer grooves and riffs just like The Count of Tuscany. I bet you will like it as well.
PÔPE man, Great reactions! Please put the band REDEMPTION on your list. They are a lot like Dream Theater. Songs to consider: Black and White World, Memory, Walls, and Bleed Me Dry.
Give a chance to ministry of lost souls man, is a great great song
Epic!
You thought this was good wait til you hear some Liquid Tension Experiment. Check out Liquid Tension Experiment Live in LA. Probably the best live show I have ever seen. Just absolutely amazing and it literally sounds better than the actual studio recording’s of their songs.
Real story.
Yoo you should react to "A change of seasons" and "pull me under"
Love the reaction but you must change the shirt with an inter's one
Try Breaking the fourth wall live concert
based on a true story. Believe the count is niccolo caponi. He took petrucci around tuscany or smth.
Also, just a side thought. If you want something to react to outside of prog or classic rock, Primus might be a pretty good one. Jerry Was A Racecar Driver, My Name Is Mud, and Devil Went Down to Georgia are a few you could start with. They’re as good as they are funny 😆
I know I recommended something so I’m a lil pressed but good ass choice, it’s interesting, you kinda jus reacting to whatever you want which is dope tbh

Also, your dog sounds a lot like mine lol
sorry about the dog
@@POPE. No need to be, bud. Maybe he/she might enjoy reacting with you? 😄
19:12 and that's the last we heard of Mike Portnoy on DT :(
I think Raw Dog came after
@@forentertainment3259 absolutely right! My bad
Breaking All Illusions!
Thank me later
Please react Dream Theater trial of tears live on Boston
Illumination Theory by Dream Theater is another tour de force 20 minute plus symphonic epic that will also take your breath away. Please react to the live in Boston version of this song.
Forza Milan
