Vocal Coach reacts to Mike Portnoy drummin'
Lmao right?
He is THAT good. Any musician who hears him immediately understands it.
@@malabarista42 , AGREED TOTALY!
The Petrucci appreciation face wasn't bad either :-)
Mike Portnoy on Hello Kitty and Pokemon drum kits. You will laugh.
"It's so perfect that drummer." Yes ma'am you are correct. You are listening to one of the most accomplished drummers ever to roam the planet.
ok people discovering DT is my new favorite thing on the internet
Just like people discovering Angra/Shaman/Viper (all André Matos's bands)
I know right?!
1992 - 1996 was peak Dream Theater. Hearing "Pull Me Under" for the first time on the radio back in 1992 was one of those "Who the fuck are these guys???" kind of moments. And thats saying a lot considering all the great bands and music that was coming out around 1992 and especially 1993. I was an instant fan. Glad she went back with this one.
as soon as the bridge hits you can tell they gained a new fan!
Ikr
She came to listen to James LaBrie but John Petrucci and Mike Portnoy impressed her even more.
arent we all impressed by them more.
@@karasakizbaris I know I am and I guess most people are.
Don't forget about Myung!
MostlyIrishCarGuy it’s hard to give him too much attention in this song since he’s placed so low in the mix here.... sadly. I would’ve recommended metropolis pt.1
@@funnyperson4027 yeah same
"I want a bass solo"
We all do honey... we all do...
Woman after our owns hearts!
METROPOLIS PT.1
Dance of Eternity
from the same concert, Ytse Jam (maJestY) is strong on bass
I'm a Bass player myself but I don't think a Bass solo would suit this particular song. It has so much drive and energy, a Bass solo might be to big of a break.
"I want a bass solo. I hope I get one."
::John Myung hides behind the drum riser::
"Oh, that drum is perfect" Well duh, you're talking about Mike Portnoy...
i love that she said 'it almost doesn't sound real' because that's everyone's problem with mangini
@@landerverlinden9947 I just feel like my parents broke up and Mangini's my new stepdad but my mum was a bitch during the breakup
You said Mike Portnoy, but you meant Neil Peart.
@@thisismagacountry1318 neil couldnt hold mikes jock strap. Most overrated drummer of all time.

I did not expect Dream Theater !!! Amazing band, one of the best. Unbelievable musicianship.
Definitely a pleasant suprise
And a once excellent singer, say it!
@@IkmelAAA No
@@IkmelAAA Nope
They have a lot of masterpieces made until 2010, after this just ok music.
"Clean drums... Perfect drums..." That's Mike Portnoy. He is a genius, monster, perfect, etc... Drummer. Everything you hear from him it's this, going to a better level. ;)
I've normally not liked Portnoy's drum sound particularly his snare. On the studio albums his drums sound much different and very compressed. But live it sounds really fantastic. His snare really pops. First time hearing this. Sounds great.
@@jirky015 In Images and Words it's not actually his snare you're hearing lol. In the rest of the discography his drums sound absolutely phenomenal.
@@Cobalt985 Yeah I read into it a couple of months ago. It was a trigger or a production thing that the band Firehouse used also. Something along those lines. Thinking about it, it was just Images and Words. He does have a really good sound on the other albums.
Hey.. you forget about mangini
From those days Petrucci was a super powered human. Then he has become a God.
After becoming God he envisioned the phyco exercises
I believe he was better musician those years
So true
@@BurrenSHdrums
Actually he is getting better as he grew older. It's just we, a mere mortal who can't keep up with JP godly verse.
In simple English :
DT music is getting harder and harder to digest and enjoy.
@@fajaradi1223 I find your assessment to be quite true. DT is almost comically talented band, but their music is difficult to enjoy. And I'm not saying they're bad, it's just they work on a level that isn't always easy to access. What makes me happy, though, is that they keep making stuff they want to make. It's important. Fan service, to me, feels like talking down on your audience and DT doesn't feel like that. If it means I have to listen to more of their albums, I'm okay with that.
watching someone who appreciates music listen to DT for the first time is like seeing someone see the sun for the first time in their life
beautifully said
Welcome to Dream Theater!!! They're probably the most technically proficient band in existence!! I love how you appreciated every aspect of their music.
Between the Buried and Me
Gojira
MESHUGGAH.!!!!
Animals as Leaders, Thank You Scientist, the list goes on. I do love DT though.

8:44 "I mean... bruh, it's high for me. I am a woman"
Got me laughing out loud. That was innocent.
I feel like the cut right after that part was her laughing at herself, because I probably would have :P
She didnt say bruh you idiot

She is so open-minded and I love it. that's the musician spirit.

Conor Murphy ha, Daddy Trooch!
Finally somebody giving Labrie props. He's an amazing singer. Love the way you mentioned his gift of multiple voice control.
Was*
Squidward's Testicles I saw dream theater a few months ago and he sounded a lot better than even on this video
Michael Smith i saw them in April in Toronto and you’re lying to yourself if you think he’s better now than in 1993. I don’t think he’s as bad as some people do, and I don’t think he should be fired, but there’s no way anyone with working ears can honestly think he sounds better now
As ling as he doesnt try to go too high he's good. When he tries to go all bruce dickinson on "eagles dare" not so much.
But now hes suck. Chicken voice
9:20 Oh this is almost funk with the rhythms........WELCOME TO PROG SWEETHEART!!!!!!!!!
LaBrie deserves more credit. He's been bashed for years but the guy is truly one of a kind and perfect for this style of music. I can't imagine anyone else singing Dream Theater songs.
Also, if you want a Dream Theater bass solo, I recommend "Metropolis, Pt. 1".
Major... But the vocals are the best part.
Their best song, as well.
Thats the song where they have a bass solo where they do a bass solo
Or "The Dance Of Eternity" in Metropolis Pt. 2" album
Or what about Ytse Jam for a shredding bass solo!
i think half of Beth Roars tigers are metal heads...
Makes sense, metalheads seem to have a particular interest in the music as a creative and technical process more than merely enjoying it for entertainment value (at least I do, as a metalhead); it helps that she's covered bands like Nightwish where the composition and vocals are a big point of interest for the fans.
@@HaibaneRakka571 If I remember correctly, Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) once said that there's only two types of music - metal and SHIT.
Can confirm, am metalhead.
Yup me too. As a kid my fav band was def leppard then I discovered Iron Maiden who became my favorite then zeppelin to Rush and dream theater
Metalheads love metal for the music, not the lifestyle, so we appreciate people who focus on the music and analyze it, even when it's just from a vocal perspective. I've also found that metalheads really love sharing their music with other people, which is probably why we're, as a community, drawn to these reaction channels.
"I need lessons from him."
Instant like
As much as I love Jordan Rudess I think Kevin Moore's influence on IAW and Awake are out of this world.
KM is and was a trademark of the old DT. Woth him leaving, DTs music changed. Mpre technical and sterile. KM is Mr. Atmoshere and Mr. Feel himself...
Space dye vest is a testament to that
Space Dye is a freaking rollercoaster. Most people will never get it.
How about Derek sherinian? Is he better than KM?
I am a huge Change of Seasons fan and that has Derek...playing to benefit the song in a beautiful way. I'm thinking if FiF was more proggy he would have shined more there too. All 3 are definitely at the top of what is possible though on a keyboard. Sons of Apollo with Derek and Mikey is sick though.
Check out Three Lives by Octavision RIGHT NOW if you haven't heard it yet. Its a 9½ minute epic song with Victor Wooten on bass. Its A LOT like an old DT instrumental. Very catchy and the Mark V Boogie guitar tones on a 7 string Mayones by Hovak are gorgeous...he is THE MAN. VERY Petrucciesque, only other guy I've heard sound like that is Marco Sfogli on LaBrie's solo records, also rocking the Mark series Mesa.
They're all so disgustingly talented.
Did I just witness the birth of a Dream Theater fan? 😍
If not, you should check them out some more. Loved your reaction and insight!
Warms my heart to see a young girl swooning over DT.
I'm 21 and they're my favourite band, have been for years
"I want a bass solo."
Well, little does she know that there's a bass solo in a song called Metropolis, where he does a bass solo...
"So perfect, that drummer!"
Yes, yes he is :'(
"ThIS is UnDer a Glass Moaawn!"
Such an underrated comment! hahahahaha
I love that little growl at the end when he says "moon"
LaBrie so underrated..he made Dream Theatre. Brilliant. This was DT at their greatest..they were never better
Well, i think they got better when Jordan came in. :D
Love that you came for James's vocals and got hooked by the insane musical talent of the band. Was awesome watching you react to Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, John Myung and Kevin Moore going nuts on their instruments.
Good lord, Petrucci still playing an Ibanez, this is so long ago!!
Your pure joy was awesome! And Petrucci's solo literally brought tears to my eyes. Thanks so much!
When I first heard his solo I didn’t think it was that good but after a few years and buying a guitar myself as well as listening to more metal I am amazed watching this again
Back in the day I had a custom Ibanez that was pretty similar to Petrucci's guitar here. Of course my guitar playing was nowhere near in the same league.
james flames don’t sweat it, comparing yourself to petrucci is unfair
We did it boys, one more on the DT army ;)
M4XC4V413R4 lol get a life
What makes you think she's in the "DT Army"?
She gave no indication she intended on getting into them and listening to more of their stuff nor seemed all that impressed. She just talked about fry and distortion she whole time
which is ironic in a way since there's almost no distortion or vocal fry on the album but he does it tons more live as opposed to in the studio
Wow. LaBrie at his peak was such a monster.
10:28 Beth: "These guys are mad!"
Well, my dear, this is what happens when every single member is an absolute virtuoso on his instrument. Welcome to the wonderful world of Dream Theater!
Stargazer by Rainbow. Pleaseeeee
Ironically, also covered by Dream Theater quite well 😂
Yep.
I think she said on her live stream that she's doing it
Stargazer by Dream Theater is also great =)
Yassssssss
Beth- I want a bass solo. I hope I get one.
Me- Will you marry me?
Fair question.
I wanted to post the same thing when I heard that! xD
I loved your reaction. I love also how you appreciated the entire band individually.
Sadly, James LaBrie can't sing like this any more. He was amazing back here
He can still deliver, Nathan, I went to see the Scenes From a Memory anniversary tour, they start with the new album, but when they finish the new album and start Scenes set, is like as if James had a twin brother thats can sing the whole album amazingly good and in the same original keynit was released! I am so glad I could check that show in my bucket list wich such an amazing performance!!
@@fmbar00 that surely is good to know, since I'm going to my 5th DT concert this December, and I confess I was a little worried about how would James be singing.
I saw DT at Download Festival 2019. James was absolutely amazing
@@fmbar00 sadly, it’s because he’s using overdubs now ☹️
@@petew-berg7791 Yeah? You been to a live show recently? Cause I have, and I can confirm he certainly is not using overdubs.
you should listen to a band called Symphony X. Because the singer Russell Allen is a beast.
Star One live, he plain kills it.
I wish Russel would go to DT. I’ve never been big into Labrie’s style
Yes!!!
Jeremy Tassin old school Russell before he smoked all those cigarettes although Charon sounds pretty good
@@isaiahmumaw Coming from both a DT and SX fan I don't think it would work. Allen's voice belongs in that symphonic beautiful space that just captures your soul. SX is perfect for his style, but DT doesn't do that all the time and it would throw the vocals off.
In the mid 90's Jame's contracted food poisoning while in Cuba that permanently damaged his vocal chords, it took him almost a decade to recover, and he never regained his range. This has lead to a TON of bad live performances in the late 90s and early 2000s. Still, the dude is a powerhouse in the studio, and over the last few years he has been sounding better and better live again!
Didn't know that. Something similar happened to Nightwish's bassist Marco Hietala. He almost lost his vocals completely in 1996 when a surgeon accidentally damaged a nerve in his vocals chords. After that it took him years of hard work to get his vocals back, but still he cannot sing high falsetto vocals.
@@tarmotyyri6733 Jame's ruptured his vocal chords from vomiting so violently
@@tarmotyyri6733 www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/james-labrie-of-dream-theater
He actually just opened up a bit about the incident somewhat recently in this interview.
Yeah, I saw them 2 years ago and am seeing them again in a couple weeks. James has definitely learned to work with his new limitations. The new album that just dropped is amazing.
@@tarmotyyri6733 i cant do anything these guys do, except that i didnt have any vocal injury
If you want a bass solo, there's a song called Metropolis where the bass player does... well, a bass solo...
The guitar solo is also sick... I mean it basically runs you over and once you really recognize what's happening to you it's already gone...
The instrumental section of Metropolis is just masterful. It becomes increasingly chaotic and mad and whatever keyboard effect the keyboard player (whoever was before Rudess) is perfect. Love it.
He does a bass solo... In a bass solo. Absolute madman
I understood that reference
I see what you did there
Your reaction during Petrucci's guitar solo was priceless! Exactly how I'd expect someone to be listening to this the first time.
well, lucky she happened to stumble upon video of DT from 1993, not 2013.
I want to see her react to the download video of pull me under.
Yeah, I had a few Dream Theater songs on my ipod in high school (early 2010s), and I liked their older stuff quite a bit. But I kept meeting TONS of older guys that LOVED dream theater, and I never really understood why. Then I watched their 1993 Tokyo live stuff, and it was like an entirely different band.
That was when I understood and came to respect the old DT fans, because they were the ones that saw it happen live, when these guys were at their peak, and THAT's what they imagine when they think of the band.
Technically, LaBrie is a much better singer now than he was back then. If you go back through the progression of live vids from the Images & Words tour through to the Octavarium tour, and then the subsequent tours after Octavarium, his live performances deteriorated up until that Octavarium tour. Like most vocalists, he most likely did not learn the "tricks of the trade" for preserving his voice throughout those early tours. I think I remember reading he did some extensive work with a vocal coach to address a lot of that (which a lot of other professional vocalists do) and it has made a drastic difference in the quality of his voice throughout the tour. Meaning that in the early days, if you caught them at the beginning of a tour segment, you got a much better performance than if you caught them at the end of a tour. Now he's much better at maintaining consistency throughout.
@@daviddecker404 Yes, David. agree, that LaBrie is more consistent nowadays... singing off-tune. His voice is just not what it used to be any more. Some say that he overused his voice or didn't use correct singing techniques in the early years of DT, which has affected his singing abilities (I also know about the food poisoning incident), I can't comment on those things, but I just don't find that voice very appealing any more on live concerts. I do listen to studio recordings, which are still relatively decent. Not here to start an argument, just my subjective opinion.
@@IntrusiveThot420, when I think of them at their peak, I think of their 3rd album - Awake. The album when Petrucci 1st got himself a 7-string guitar.
Dream Theater is phenomenal. Every single member are considered the top in metal. John Petrucci is just amazeballs on the guitar. Just so dumb how good they are.
LaBrie is widely considered a very mediocre metal singer and easily the weakest member of DT. Petrucci is indeed amazeballs, however.
@S0FTM1GU3L guthrie doesnt count, he is on a level that humans shouldnt be able to achieve. He is probably some kind of divine alien robot or something
I love it when a new metal head gets their dark wings. Especially when they are as happy about it as this! 😂
John Petrucci's solo is one of the best.
It truly is. Extremely creative and highly musical

Hello from California. Just wanted to share with you that the singer had a side band. 5 Tenners something. Oprah.
Bass solo Yetzi Jam by Dream Theater
Hi, Beth. DT is one of my favorite bands. It was 1993; about a year later LaBrie, the vocalist, unfortunately got food poisoning and broke his vocal chord that forced him to compromise his singing for decade. Oh, and this February they just released their 14th album. It's great, in case you're curious to listen how LaBrie sings now.
fuck i just know that. I always wonder why he cant never sing that high again
the best part about JLBs vocal cord problems is that after years and years of excellent coaching, his vocals are arguably better now than they have ever been, even before the incident. James really worked his fucking ass off to get his voice back.
Bad technique, tension and over fatigue. Age as well
@@philipschulze8213 Yeah, Mate; that's a good video discussing LaBrie's voice. Food poisoning is a part of the case, but to say it was "small part" is downplaying its crucial effect to LaBrie's case. Not even that video say it was "small".
However, it's true that the food poisoning per se is not the reason why LaBrie's voice getting worse. We must look at the context at the time. In an interview, he said that after the poisoning, he should take a rest and not singing for a couple of months. But, he "ignored" it because at the time, DT need to grab their momentum by touring after the success of "Image and Words". LaBrie himself knew what the risk was. But, chance doesn't come twice, right? So, basically he just forced himself to fulfil his duty as the vocalist and frontman of the band, eventhough the decision damaging to his asset in a long run.
@@brent3522 ... And super demanding songs, brutal tour schedules (with every show usually take 2,5 hour long), etc., etc. as well. "The Curious Case of James LaBrie" is discussing quite fairly a 'thesis' about almost all possible reasons.
Woooow you did it!!!
Dream Theater, such a unique band, and extremely talented musicians.
That performance in Tokyo is a classic!
I love your expression on the drums and guitar solo :D
One thing that no one notices is that these are the reasons why James lost his voice...
James mentionned shrimp intoxication but yeah, it's obvious his tone had something to do with if you ask me lol
Not to mention the insane touring schedule they had year after year.
He blew out his vocal cords in Cuba and ignored doctors telling him to rest for a while.
No you're absolutely wrong
@@kimchi2780 yes, that's it. And he still regret it
First time I heard DT I was like no way they can be this good.
The whole CD this came off of, Images And Words, is amazing.
@brian: it’s my favorite of their’s by far. Lots of other good albums, too!
One of the all-time greatest. The sound they achieved on Images and Words will never be replicated, it's so unique. Metropolis, Under a Glass Moon, and Learning to Live in particular sound like nothing else.
Hi..please look at king diamond- Abigail. he has a real special voice.
YES!
Agree.
Terrible falsetos :c
Someone needs to react to King Diamond, but I don't know why everyone recommends Abigail. Mercyful Fate and KD both have better songs, though I'd struggle to pick a favorite.
i like "Sleepless Nights"
I came here for Dream Theater. I stayed for your interpretation! Portnoys drumming is incredible. James's voice is really hit and miss, but he definitely has the talent. Back in 2010, Dream Theater was playing with Iron Maiden in my hometown and I had never seen them live. Now, my dad was the one that really got me into this music, and he had never seen Iron Maiden live before, even though it was one of his favorite bands. So, I bought a ticket for him, and we spent that time together. I still have it somewhere. That was a good day 😊 I like spending that time with my dad. He's always been there for me, and I really see him as someone I aspire to be. It helps that he's my bassist lol

You took me by surprise Beth. DT is one of my favorite bands ever! So glad to see it on your channel. Mainly because LaBrie's vocal has always been criticized.
I for one, love the feeling he gives to the songs, but the music is what makes Dream Theater great.
LaBrie is very underrated. He is in a bad spot because he is in a band of great musicians whose songs rely so much on instrumentals.
I know you appreciate good musicianship, but if you're going to do more Dream Theater, expect lots more bits with no singing. This instrumental break's actually pretty short by their standards... :3

Didn't really expect Dream Theater considering how much of their music is instrumental but I'm not complaining because they are one of my favorite bands. If you do another song by them A Change of Seasons or Octavarium are masterpieces, although they are pretty long. Otherwise I reccomend Stranger Things by Periphery.
You know that deep in your heart theres a metalhead hiding right?
how could a music lover with a taste for melody not be enchanted by the evolved version of classical music? :)

I love seeing people's first reactions to Dream Theater... and yes @MikePortnoy Drums are unreal!
Please, please, PLEASE listen to The Count of Tuscany by Dream Theater and give us your review. Your cometary of this footage is the most accurate I've ever seen. Loved this band for many years and its nice to see younger musicians take on them. Thank You so very much!
Agreed! Count of Tuscany is one of my all time favorites!
Beautiful song!
agreed!!!
The Count of Tuscany is the greatest song in the world and you cannot change my mind!
So glad someone finally reacted to this song! Excellent analysis :)
I've seen half a dozen of your videos now (new fan!), and while the others were all great, so far this was the most fun to watch because of your reactions :D Love it!
Beth. Without a doubt the best I've seen doing these sorts of lessons. You always make it about the technique, the music and not about you. I watched every video. Fantastic job. Thank
you.
At 10:10 mark you can cleary see her mind was not ready for the shear petrucciness of the guitar solo and melts away. DT should come with one of those "parental warning" labels, but for explicit instrumentals, for risk of mind blowing.
I laughet at 11:45 when she says "everyone is gonna be trying to do this at home... YOU WILL NEVER GET THERE". Yep. Hahaha! Classic Petrucci psyco exercises there.
Diagonal 4 string whole step chromatics. Yay for this...🤣
This was fantastic. I literally cried tears of joy watching you hear them (at one of their best shows ever) for the first time. Great video!
I love how honest your reaction is to the music. As a long time Dream Theater-fan, it's amazing to watch someone listen to this stuff for the first time and get that immediate "wow"-feeling. Gives me goosebumps. Music connects people because even without words to describe it, I know exactly what you hear and feel just by your reaction. (Sorry for this sidetrack, but I really needed to say this.)
My first video of yours I have watched Beth. I have to say what an amazing video! You can see from that huge smile how much passion and appreciation you have for the music and the vocals. Well you have a new sub from me and please keep up the incredible videos!
Hey Beth, maybe you could get in contact with a fellow vocalist by the name of Mary Z over at Voicehacks, she screams and is also an amazing singer. She maybe able to help you understand the technique of extreme vocals 😏
Fun Fact about Dream Theater: Most of them (Not all) Met at Berkley School of Music. They dropped out and found success. Now most of the members are teachers (part time) at Berkley.
Berklee* and as a student i can say that none of them teach here
Mangini was a professor at Berklee...and DT core (JP, Myung and Portnoy) are Berklee dropouts. You should check facts before posting lies...and its Berklee in Boston, not Berkley in California.
It's always fun to watch someone new to Dream Theater listen to them for the first time. Also, thank you for these videos! I'm not a singer (outside of my car, anyway), but I love hearing about the technical aspects of music broken down by experts.
Thank you very much! I'm sooo happy. The guitar solo is full of emotions.
Really! Someone suggested DT and James Labrie!
Hah! Awesome! Didn't expect a Dream Theater reaction, good stuff!
Love watching your reactions they help me a lot in my singing.Love ya Beth😍
QUEENSRYCHE - Take Hold Of The Flame... Live at Tokyo... Get your ears blown...
Lol. Listened on your recommendation. Lame compared to this when it comes to jaw dropping musician-ship.
Take Hold of the Flame!!
Queensryche - Roads to Madness.
Dream Theatre (Oz spelling) were always "mathematical" and super precise ... like digital callipers for sound. I'm a bit of a DT newbie, but understand they are profoundly adept at being tighter than a fishes clacker on Sunday during a winter storm while Grandpa is having a shotgun crisis with the back flap open. $0.02 ... love your insight Beth ... just bringing some Tasmanian randomness to the equation.
I hope one day Beth reacts to pantera - cemetery gates. The high notes at the end would blow her mind I think.
But I don't remember him ever hitting them live, just screams it.
@@charlesw4316 Cemetary Gates was in their very early days to be fair. Years of drink, drugs, smoking and heavier vocals killed that range of his voice.
I've never heard this band before. They're rather brilliant.
Thanks for making this video.
i do love see your reactions :) very genuine and full of admiration. I am sure even DT will be happy to see your video.

God, how I miss THAT Dream Theater...
Kevin Moore, right? 😉
Images and Words is just such a phenomenal album
You are the worst kind of fan. Just know that.
Valefree how is he “the word kind of fan”
He misses that dream theater , so do I so much. This is one of the best eras for dream theater. I know why he misses THAT dream theater, the dream theater nowadays sucks imo. I miss Portnoy in the band.
The fact that you called him the worst kind of fan goes to show that you haven’t experienced enough of old dream theater to know that it’s better than 2010’s dream theater. Get out of here bud.
Ngl they’re new album is good
A buddy of mine dragged me to a dream theater concert- I was blown away by how awesome they are at their craft.
I respect you very much for doing This video on this specific band, thank you very much friend
Of all the members in Dream Theater James gets by far the most criticism. He's really an amazing singer, but his voice can be a bit of an acquired taste and a lot of people never manage to acquire it.
He's a lot like Geddy Lee. There's nothing technically wrong with his singing but it doesn't resonate with some people. But Labrie likes to bounce around a lot which I think hinders his voice at times. Hitting those high notes takes a lot of air, and when you're running and hopping about, you steal some of that valuable air from the notes.
That's the same reaction I think people have to Megadeth. I remember my roommate used to hate them, but after awhile he got it.
that is true, but another factor is that hes in a band with john myung, john petrucci, jordan rudess and mike/mike (also known as god, god, god, god and god). i cant think of anyone who wouldnt pale at least a bit next to those performers
Or King Diamond. Now HE'S an acquired taste. Andy LaRoque keeps you listening, and eventually you actually start to appreciate what he's doing with his ridiculous falsetto is very complex and original
@@ontologicallyaxiomatic Good point. James is a really great singer, but the other 4 are virtuosos.
This must be prog metal day: Beth reacting to Dream Theater and Rebecca Vocal Athlete reacting to Queensryche. I think Rebecca got the better end of the deal as far as vocals are concerned!
Interesting analysis on the vocals. Been a fan of DT for decades. Thanks for this.
Great video! Images and Words is one of my very favourite albums. I had the pleasure of seeing Dream Theater perform the entire album 3 years ago in Glasgow. Quite possibly the best gig I've ever been to!
interesting choices for reactions. 🤘🏻 I'd love to recommend some songs/artists that spanned a wide genres.
1. Bjork - too many but hyperballad, joga, all is full of love and Pagan Poetry would be ideal.
2. Mike Patton - he's the vocalist of - well, better Wikipedia his long ass list projects 🤣😅. It would be interesting if you pick his band Mr.Bungle songs
3. Incubus - so many of their songs,personally i really like "if not now, when?" which is also their album title of the same name.
4. Karnivool - they're an obscure but brilliant alternative/prog-rock band from Australia respected by so many known bands and have a wide fanbase. 'new day' and 'simple boy' from "Sound Awake" album.
5. A perfect Circle - you already reacted to this but i'd love to see the song 'by and down'
6. Puscifer - you're going to have an eargasm reacting to their songs since it's Maynard James Keenan's most exploratory band as a vocalist, he's having fun singing on this band ! Specifically the songs - 'potions' as well as the epic song called "grand canyon".
^^ THIS! 100%!
Puscifers The remedy pleasee
His name is James and in 1994 he suffered a food poisoning that affected his voice. Since then he has never been this good live. He will always have all my support aswell as you, good reaction!
Unfair levels of skill in all these guys.
Love your reactions! I love this live from DT
React to blind guardian- mirror mirror live
(I recommend the one with 1.9 million views over the official, but both are good)
Please!!! Hansi is a great singer.
HOLY SHIT WHAT A GOOD IDEA!!!!!!!!!
Blind Guardian _The Eldar_ is even better for vocal diaplay
@@revylokesh1783 Yes! Such a great song. But have Guardian ever performed it live-and is there a recording of that?
OMG!!!! Dream Theater and one of their best songs, at least for me. THANK you yo much for doing this. Love this band, love this song, love you, love everything :D Thank you.
Beth, I came for a react to Rush, and fell into the rabbit hole of your wonderful videos. Technical expertise aside, the pure joy you show watching wonderful things is what makes you so great to watch.
Never thought I’d hear a vocal coach wanting lessons from James Labrie 😂😂
thats what i thougt, people hate him so much. even though i need to say if he quits, than DT probably would never be the same.
James was a monster
