Its unbelievable how Dream Theater in almost every song explain to me my own psychic and spiritual problems. Im struggling with schizophrenia for 7 years, and by listening to these genius songs and lyrics I find myself fighting with more and more strenght and faith. Thank you, Dream theater
I served in the Marine commandos. Bosnia, afganistan and iraq. The lyricks hit right to my face. DT is always been close to my heart. Remember: Life is good.:D
Been a huge fan of DT since Images and words. I really liked systematic chaos . This seems to be nice and heavy, just like that. I am glad they are still putting out great music.
I don't know why everyone in the comments are complaining about the 4/4, this song is fucking awesome, like a million times better than all the shit you hear these days on the radio, I know since Mike is gone, things are different, but the are still great af. Wish there was more bands like Dream Theater!
That, my friend, that is the worse opinion of all. Resignation. To say "a million times better than all the shit you hear these days on the radio". Who cares what the radio plays? No, I won't resignate to accept that a song is good just because it's better than others. You can't compare DT to inferior bands, you have to compare it to the better bands, or to their own better songs. Also, there are a lot of bands like Dream Theater, some better, some not so much, some different. Planet X, Porcupine Tree, Tool, IQ, Plini, Spastic Ink, etc, etc.
I know the other bands, but they are waaaaay different than DT. I know the music today is garbage and its a bad comparison I made, but come on, isn't true that everyone in the comment section is complaining of this masterpiece. It is a million times better than other "metal bands" even, and people still complain about this? Is that fair?
Agreed! DT are the masters of metronomes, but there is nothing wrong with writing a good song in 4/4! Why not? For those complaining, I guess they committed suicide upon hearing the Astonishing! (Just a joke guys, OK?)
This is not a masterpiece. Learning to live, Metropolis, Finally Free, a Change of seasons, Octavarium, The Dance of eternity, those are masterpieces. This is an ok song. I like it and all, but this is just a good song, nothing else.
Amazing... DT has captured the essence of PTSD without experiencing it. Most of us will never know what our returning servicemen and women are really going through. I hope this song helps some of them know they are not forgotten.
This will forever be Mangini's song for me... It's not less iconic than any DT banger made with Portnoy too. It's is such a good song and this is the Dream Theater that I love
I didn't see this song until today. It is probably one of the best Dream Theater song's i have ever heard. I have many more favorites, mainly from the album "Images and Words", yet I have not really looked into their new songs until today. Wonderful job, well done
QUOTE FROM JOHN: We hate doing music vids...this is just for the hell of it, explains why they never make them guys its about the music, not how cinematic your videos are
Shamic Entertainment Bb is a note not in the key of the song making a sense of release when the note switches, even though if you played both notes at the same time they would play very dissonant and would sound good, it’s held to portray the stress of the song
@@osmanhadzalic9060yes! Since the summer of 2020 i lost a good deal of weight and started weight training in 2021, I’m in a much different shape lol, just trying to keep it that way
I'm really digging the more straight metal approach this song has. A lot of people say DT releases the same album over and over, and this proves they can change things up a bit. Only thing lacking for me was Myung's godlike bass riffs, but I'm sure we'll hear many more masterpieces when this amazing album drops!
If you've stuck around long enough, you know their albums usually have one or two more mainstream suited songs, while the majority of the album is still what they always do...
Yash Chauhan I've stuck around long enough to know that they've practically released the same album 5 times. Talk about being progressive. Go on, vehemently deny that that's the case. I'm one of those fans that thinks FII is a good album, because it's an enjoyable listen and feels natural, unlike most modern DT albums that are contrived as hell. They need to loosen up again.
Omair Sheikh I agree they are a little bit contrived right now, but this song is as good as anything they've ever released IMO. One of my favorites. As for denying that they haven't released the same album five times, I'll agree the album structure is similar, but each album is distinctly themed and strikes me in their own unique way. The same goes for every song, powerful in it's own way. I will agree they need to loosen up a bit and be themselves again, but this is still a AWESOME song on an album which is a worthy addition to the Dream Theater Lineup.
Omair Sheikh Yeah, sure. This is definitely the same song, ops, same mainstream song over and over again. Even radio-stars suprises us more frequently. :) You've probably never listened to Iron Maiden,
My favorite things about Dream Theater have to be: When LaBrie sings during their bridges, when Petrucci sets off on his insane solos, when Rudess just sweeps that keyboard like there's no tomorrow... And then, together with Myung's badass riffs, and Mangini's fantastic fills and rolls, it creates a masterpiece like this. I'm happy that every album I hear of theirs gets better and better. Can't wait for the 24th!
For drummers: The fill at 1:22 is nearly impossible to play without having mastered limb independence. It is sixtuplets where the toms create two descending arcs between double bass and the snare still stays on 2 and 4. You could easily just play the toms and double kick as sixtuplets but getting the snare in there on 2 and 4 is quite tricky at that tempo.
I like how the riffs and grooves in this song seem like there is no escaping them and they always fall a bit short on where you were expecting them to end, it kinda gives the feeling of some sort of desperation and "powerlessness" that goes well with the song meaning.
+Rubik ehehe ... I`m in the merchant navy, I remember listening to this song on the bridge full volume and my 19 year old filipino watchman said about this part: `sounds like a anime theme song` second ... aaaahaha now I don`t know anime but I always smile when i hear this part XD.
Cesar Burgen Heaviest song in the album* because their heviest song from them maybe its Lie, almost anything from train of tought or the dark eternal night
They played this track in Hala Tivoli, Ljubljana yesterday early on in the concert, and it was so fucking powerful live. Unreal... The chorus won't stop ringing in my head.
I was listening to this today, and I never payed attention to all the lyrics. And then I heard "paradise came to an end...and no magic pilllll...can bring it back again". I thought that was a pretty clever lyric.
This new DT is awesome! I heard they are going to releasing another track from the self-titled album this upcoming week too. Definitely going to buy this new album when it comes out.
I was wondering if there is anyone (of course, I suppose there is) listening to Dream Theater, who never played any instrument... Since all my friends who at least heard of them are musicians, this has made me wondering. Also this shows the value of this music.
This is an incredible song to find. I came here from a dream, listening to a song that probably doesn’t exist. I tried hard to focus in dream to memorize at least a bit of lyrics so I could come out and find something. The dream lyrics were, “it just goes to show, you never really know, the enemy inside you”. This is what that led me to. It goes so well with the issues I’ve been dealing with, and is incredibly ironic that the band is “Dream” Theater. Synchronicities man.
The video reached the million views, proof that no matter the pissed off kids about the already 3 yo story on Mike Portnoy's departure bullshit, and the "they are not the same anymore" argument (while each of their albums are completely different from one to another anyway ! ) people are still listening to that and keep coming back to the video !! nicely done dt. + most of you are saying "the drum mix sucks" actually the snare drum is only a bit goofy, but the rest of the mix is just flawless (maybe a bit too loud, but you know the mastering has to be louder and louder if you want your shit to be "sellable" in the market)
Daniel Crozier rly? For me, they can put all the last albuns in one big 10, 15 cd´s pack. they all look the same for me... before was 1 or 2 "bad songs" in a album, now its hard to find 1 or 2 really "new" song! Even the guitar effecs are the same. I´m done for DT since SDOIT...
Marcos Alencar Yeah unfortunately will have to agree. The new album isn't anything original. This song is fun and has sweet riffing but much of it is recycled.
I do not understand why people criticize Mangini so much, the guy does it very, any drummer would like to have his level, DT was the one who chose Mangini because it is the best option after Portnoy. I recommend that you stop looking for Portnoy in the drums of Mangini, and enjoy what he has to offer. The band sought a replacement, not a new Portnoy
What I don't understand is why hiring one of the greatest drummers in the planet to make him sound likes 'generic metal drums preset n°2' from Addictive Drums
The Mangini haters need to sort themselves out. Just because he plays in a different style than Portnoy doesn't mean he is robotic, lacks soul or whatever excuse you might come up with. You guys are just trying to find errors with him that aren't there just because you're still pissed over the fact that Portnoy left. Face it: Band members come and go and that's nothing to whine about. There aren't many who whines over the fact that KK Downing left Judas Priest anymore, neither are there many who whines over that Peter Lindgren and Martin Lopez left Opeth or that Marty Friedman left Megadeth. Dream Theater fans should reason the same with Portnoy. You don't have to like Mangini but please, stop trying to find errors with him that doesn't exist just because you want to have another member in the band. Admit that you don't like him simply because he's not Portnoy. I admit: I also prefer Portnoy to Mangini but that's simply because Portnoy was a founding member, played in the band for 25 years, was a creative force of the band and drummed in a way that appeals more to me than Manginis. That is not a reason to bash on Mangini or to find excuses without grounding in reality in order to unjustify his membership. I love Mangini as well and I admire his contributions to the Dream Theater music, and even though I prefer Portnoy when it comes down to it, that is not a reason for me to try to find errors with Mangini that doesn't exist. I bet most of you reason the same when everything comes around. You are just to blind, dumb or proud to admit it.
Ok here are the track lengths, don't know if it's official but found them in wikipedia. False Awakening Suite 12:42 The Enemy Inside 6:17 The Looking Glass 4:53 Enigma Machine 6:02 The Bigger Picture 7:41 Behind The Veil 6:53 Surrender To Reason 6:35 Along For The Ride 4:45 Illumination Theory 22:18 .
Todos los dias escucho Dream Theater, para mi ya estocar el cielo, si bien Iron Maiden ,Kiss;Ozzy,Slayer,Megadeth ,satriani, ect,etc,son buenos o buenisimos, que de hecho e escuchado de todo, Dream ya es mas que musica mas alla de lo puedas imaginar con demasiadas notas y mucha melodia e inspiracion , esta banda piensa en notas musicales demasiado, buen video buena cancion ,aunque ay temas mejores que este, esperemos su disco para el mes proximo, suerte Dream Theater...
It s about a personne that has a virus. Trying to run from the pain. I am not surprised you have 50 something people linking your comment... People preffers take all things easy with no reserch.
@@alinmateescu1221 Actually, dipshit, it's about P.T.S.D... that's painfully obvious in both the lyrics and the other music video that was released. So not only are you a hypocrite because you also didn't do your research, but you're also a fucking moron for not being able to detect a joke. Get off the internet
Over and over again I relive the moment I'm bearing the burden within Open wounds hidden under my skin Pain is real as a cut that bleeds The face I see every time I try to sleep Staring at me crying I'm running from the enemy inside Looking for the life I left behind These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind And I can't escape from the enemy inside I sever myself from the world And shut down completely All alone in my own living hell Overcome with irrational fear Under the weight of the world on my chest I buckle and break as I try to catch my breath Tell me I'm not dying I'm running from the enemy inside Looking for the life I left behind These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind And I can't escape from the enemy inside I'm a burden and a travesty I'm a prisoner of regret Between the flashbacks and the violent dreams I am hanging on the edge Disaster lurks around the bend Paradise came to an end And no magic pill Can bring it back again I'm running from the enemy inside Looking for the life I left behind These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind And I can't escape from the enemy inside
Maybe you people don't get it, but if you ever experienced sorrow, despair, confused, haunted by irrational fear caused by things that you've done in the past, maybe you will do the same thing as the guy in the video.
It´s all about our inside darkeness..or a heavy episode of our lives, that was too strong for us and comes back again and again..so "relive the moment".. Great song, great sound.great Dream Theater as always!
Everyone in DT are excellent musicians, & I agree that they don't keep the same beat for too long, but this is very good video, & shows what some soldiers go through, coming home from wars.
Vato Natroshvili Yes you are you right. New compositions of DT (and LT) are nothing like the old ones like Universal Mind, Paradigm Shift, Freedom Of speech, Kinderd Spirits, Erotomania and many others. Sorry extreme fans but these are bullshit, comparable to the music of punk groups like Limp Bizkit, Green day and others.
Ma tutti li a dire..."io preferisco Mangini" "io preferisco portnoy" allora premesso che come batteristi spaccano tutti e due. Uno ha fatto la storia del progressive e l'altro è una macchina da guerra con la batteria...sapete cosa preferisco io?? Qualsiasi altro cantante purchè non sia LaBrie...questa è la vera cosa da dire!!
Con 'sto commento avrei concordato, se si fosse trattata d'un'altra canzone, magari un po' più vecchia... ma in questo pezzo la verità é che James é una bestia!
Questione di punti di vista. Non mi permetto di sminuire il tuo. Ma per me non è cosi...non so...io per i dream avrei preferito proprio un altro cantante.
***** Mah, mi sembra abbastanza adatto. Non poteva trattarsi di qualcuno di troppo aggressivo. Il problema era che prima non lo era affatto. Adesso, invece, è notevolmente migliorato. Magari una voce simile a quella di Russell (che tuttavia preferisco di gran lunga a James) dei Symphony X non sarebbe accozzata bene col muro del suono sofisticato dei Dream.
Angelo massimo Si allora diciamo che per come la penso io è peggiorato...e ti spiego perchè: nei primi live cantava abbastanza bene era persino intonato. Poi se ti vai ad ascolatare live scenes from new york i pezzi dove stecca sono veramente tanti e non sono di certo quelle stecche che dici " ma si dai ci può stare"..no proprio no...poi a roma si va a sentire i dream da poco...non ci sarei mai voluto andare...forse era anche colpa dei fonici...ma comunque lui di sicuro ha penalizzato molto tutte le canzoni...era inascoltabile, stonato...mentre gli altri erano fantastici suonando (ecco perchè secondo me meglio cambiarlo). Sinceramente io ci avrei visto una voce sempre pulita...ma non la sua. Ma questo è sempre un mio parere...non so io sono sfegatato di dream e mi sono sempre piaciuti...ma c'è sempre stato un po di amaro mentre li ascoltavo...è proprio una cosa mia....non mi piace come voce e se lo cambiassero magari con uno un po più giovane con una voce alta e pulita secondo me ai vari fans non dispiacerebbe.
C'è anche da dire poi...che la sua voce in pezzi come "a nightmare to remember" ecc... non ci sta a fare proprio niente...in canzoni come quelle ci starebbe bene la voce russell! (sempre un mio parere eh) :)
Its unbelievable how Dream Theater in almost every song explain to me my own psychic and spiritual problems. Im struggling with schizophrenia for 7 years, and by listening to these genius songs and lyrics I find myself fighting with more and more strenght and faith. Thank you, Dream theater

I do not understand why people criticize Mangini so much, the guy does it very, any drummer would like to have his level, DT was the one who chose Mangini because it is the best option after Portnoy. I recommend that you stop looking for Portnoy in the drums of Mangini, and enjoy what he has to offer. The band sought a replacement, not a new Portnoy
Pablo Antonio Rivas Azuaje agreed 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Both Drummers are very talented. They both are definitely above par. Better than most all of the rock Drummers out there.

marco minemann was a much better choice
@@drbastianac8252 Nope. Mike Mangini is far2 better. Minemann had no same energy on audition. So DT didn't choose him.
What I don't understand is why hiring one of the greatest drummers in the planet to make him sound likes 'generic metal drums preset n°2' from Addictive Drums
The clip is a huge selfie hahaha. Love the song!
I'm surprised people don't realize this song and video is about a person with anxiety/panic disorder. Takes one to know one I guess.
+Gabi S I'm pretty sure they do... hopefully
+Damien Mutzakki See, I thought anxiety and PTSD.
same with me, +depression
it's about an ex soldier not being able to find a home with Anxiety and of course PTSD hence the lyric "I'm running from the enemy inside"
+Gabi S PTSD, actually. If you watch the other video it's highlighted somewhat more.
This is quite good.
Download it all and listen to it all. I've been listening to DT nonstop for 10 years now. Loving them more and more!
When you have 5$ for the music video
And 35 million for the musicians
Nice Agalloch profile pic!
@James LaBrie nah mike is just too good
But this one actually have one 😝
I don't associate dream theater with videos. They're beyond imagery. But I get the idea of what you're saying
Johnny Sins? is that you?!
Hahahahaah çok komikmiş
Cagdas Tekoz you made my day dostum
I thought the same thing 😂
Türkler olarak her yerdeyiz
Batu Tuncel aynen
Esta canción es una brutalidad!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
When you already have a song called: "War Inside My Head".
It's even about the same thing :/
Ot was just a movement tho lol
@@Cobalt985 it's not
@@respaticondro5905 one's schizophrenia, other's PTSD, schizophrenia can actually be triggered by PTSD if you're already prone
But that's not a song, that's a segment of a song.
Walking to school like.......
+Auvell Mullens fucking true feeling hate and fucked up ahahahah
True lol
Its always a pleasure to hear whats new from DT despite all comments pos or neg
that moment when you realize the lyric video has got more views than the actual video clip !
Beacuse it has been realeased long before the videoclip.
I'm not even sorry about Portnoy, amazing job Mangini!
The intro so powerfull !!
DT's music is like wine, they sound better and better as they age \m/
The Mangini haters need to sort themselves out. Just because he plays in a different style than Portnoy doesn't mean he is robotic, lacks soul or whatever excuse you might come up with. You guys are just trying to find errors with him that aren't there just because you're still pissed over the fact that Portnoy left. Face it: Band members come and go and that's nothing to whine about.
There aren't many who whines over the fact that KK Downing left Judas Priest anymore, neither are there many who whines over that Peter Lindgren and Martin Lopez left Opeth or that Marty Friedman left Megadeth. Dream Theater fans should reason the same with Portnoy. You don't have to like Mangini but please, stop trying to find errors with him that doesn't exist just because you want to have another member in the band. Admit that you don't like him simply because he's not Portnoy. I admit: I also prefer Portnoy to Mangini but that's simply because Portnoy was a founding member, played in the band for 25 years, was a creative force of the band and drummed in a way that appeals more to me than Manginis. That is not a reason to bash on Mangini or to find excuses without grounding in reality in order to unjustify his membership. I love Mangini as well and I admire his contributions to the Dream Theater music, and even though I prefer Portnoy when it comes down to it, that is not a reason for me to try to find errors with Mangini that doesn't exist. I bet most of you reason the same when everything comes around. You are just to blind, dumb or proud to admit it.
ok but mangini still sucks and nobody understand why DT didnt choose marco minnemann at the audition
Wonderful song! It's so nice to listen it! Thanks! Congratulations!

Todos los dias escucho Dream Theater, para mi ya estocar el cielo, si bien Iron Maiden ,Kiss;Ozzy,Slayer,Megadeth ,satriani, ect,etc,son buenos o buenisimos, que de hecho e escuchado de todo, Dream ya es mas que musica mas alla de lo puedas imaginar con demasiadas notas y mucha melodia e inspiracion , esta banda piensa en notas musicales demasiado, buen video buena cancion ,aunque ay temas mejores que este, esperemos su disco para el mes proximo, suerte Dream Theater...
Dem drums! hmmmhph
go dream theater!!!!!!!
in an interview the band mates stated this song was inspired by the feeling of constipation
A Acks The title makes so much sense now.
It s about a personne that has a virus. Trying to run from the pain. I am not surprised you have 50 something people linking your comment... People preffers take all things easy with no reserch.
@@alinmateescu1221
Actually, dipshit, it's about P.T.S.D... that's painfully obvious in both the lyrics and the other music video that was released. So not only are you a hypocrite because you also didn't do your research, but you're also a fucking moron for not being able to detect a joke. Get off the internet
Made me laugh for real.
@@alexg3455 Lack of IQ in general population and degree of fragidity is really infuriating isn't it?
Drums, Bass, Guiar ALL of the instruments are unbelievably tight together!
I ask this seriously, are you can't stop listening this song too?
Over and over again
I relive the moment
I'm bearing the burden within
Open wounds hidden under my skin
Pain is real as a cut that bleeds
The face I see every time I try to sleep
Staring at me crying
I'm running from the enemy inside
Looking for the life I left behind
These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind
And I can't escape from the enemy inside
I sever myself from the world
And shut down completely
All alone in my own living hell
Overcome with irrational fear
Under the weight of the world on my chest
I buckle and break as I try to catch my breath
Tell me I'm not dying
I'm running from the enemy inside
Looking for the life I left behind
These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind
And I can't escape from the enemy inside
I'm a burden and a travesty
I'm a prisoner of regret
Between the flashbacks and the violent dreams
I am hanging on the edge
Disaster lurks around the bend
Paradise came to an end
And no magic pill
Can bring it back again
I'm running from the enemy inside
Looking for the life I left behind
These suffocating memories are etched upon my mind
And I can't escape from the enemy inside
Bless you all lyrics guys
Good luck dream theater!!!!!!
Maybe you people don't get it, but if you ever experienced sorrow, despair, confused, haunted by irrational fear caused by things that you've done in the past, maybe you will do the same thing as the guy in the video.
Al Pra you do realize this song is literally about constipation
Memicus Dankis
O_O
Memicus Dankis Isn't it about schizofrenism? That's what JP said.
Come back here after play Night Terror 👀
It´s all about our inside darkeness..or a heavy episode of our lives, that was too strong for us and comes back again and again..so "relive the moment"..
Great song, great sound.great Dream Theater as always!
Definitely one of the weirdest songs to put at 2x speed
It is as weird played in 0.5x speed!
0.75x sounds so badass
Dude what the fuck lmao, Dream Theater nightcore lmao
@@nicolarighetto3767 it is!
Sounds happy
Rhythm is like "This Dying Soul"
Took me awhile to get into this song, now I can't stop listening. Perfect "single" for this album, everyone shines in it.
1:30 James Mustaine(?
Dave Mustaine + James LaBrie = James Mustaine LOL
You are re hard
Daniel Esteiro What the faaak ar u duin hir nigga???
Ramiro Ezequiel Stalking. Actually just checking what you and dee ehs are so fangirly about
Daniel Esteiro huehueheheu spik teh Turth
Everyone in DT are excellent musicians, & I agree that they don't keep the same beat for too long, but this is very good video, & shows what some soldiers go through, coming home from wars.
this is not progressive! this is pagan metal :| this is extreme/heavy and new wave of something (for me boring) metal. this is regressive for me.
Vato Natroshvili Yes you are you right. New compositions of DT (and LT) are nothing like the old ones like Universal Mind, Paradigm Shift, Freedom Of speech, Kinderd Spirits, Erotomania and many others.
Sorry extreme fans but these are bullshit, comparable to the music of punk groups like Limp Bizkit, Green day and others.
***** sorry if i get it wrong, but if you compare one music to shit and say that it's better :d it's the same shit. :d
One of my favourite songs ever!
Pain As Real, As A Cut That Bleeds,
The Face I See Every Time I Try To Sleep... Is Staring At Me Crying.
D.T.
Pain "As" Real As A....
Cotramjoxxx Look for lyrics.
J.P. you mean...:)
Ferdinando Beneventano del Bosco in this lyrics says "pain AS real..."
love this song! sounds like DEATH THEATER!
Awake, Images and Words, Black Clouds and Silver Linings. These are great.
imagine watching this guy filming this clip in the streets and thinking to yourself "jesus chirst this guy's high as fuck"
when you just ate a wickedly strong edible, it hits and you're out in public
Arguably the best work MM did in DT, probably because it sounds very MP like and he was still trying to fill MP's shoes when he first joined.
That's my favorite song from Dream Theather *-*
+Karen Leon have you ever heard about an album called Train of Thought ?
+Purplespecter Sure! That album is a pieze of art! is pretty cool
+Karen Leon then you can't say that this song is dt's best
+Purplespecter man, that is my opinion e.e if your favorite song is in this album great for you, but for me this is muy favorite song.
+Purplespecter WTF? That's her oppinion lad
Anyone in 2024?
yes I just discovered it and am wondering where was it hidden from me all these years
@@narekbuniatyan1596Jajajja me too
Can't stop listening to this awesome music
Ma tutti li a dire..."io preferisco Mangini" "io preferisco portnoy" allora premesso che come batteristi spaccano tutti e due. Uno ha fatto la storia del progressive e l'altro è una macchina da guerra con la batteria...sapete cosa preferisco io?? Qualsiasi altro cantante purchè non sia LaBrie...questa è la vera cosa da dire!!
Con 'sto commento avrei concordato, se si fosse trattata d'un'altra canzone, magari un po' più vecchia... ma in questo pezzo la verità é che James é una bestia!
Questione di punti di vista. Non mi permetto di sminuire il tuo. Ma per me non è cosi...non so...io per i dream avrei preferito proprio un altro cantante.
***** Mah, mi sembra abbastanza adatto. Non poteva trattarsi di qualcuno di troppo aggressivo. Il problema era che prima non lo era affatto. Adesso, invece, è notevolmente migliorato.
Magari una voce simile a quella di Russell (che tuttavia preferisco di gran lunga a James) dei Symphony X non sarebbe accozzata bene col muro del suono sofisticato dei Dream.
Angelo massimo Si allora diciamo che per come la penso io è peggiorato...e ti spiego perchè: nei primi live cantava abbastanza bene era persino intonato. Poi se ti vai ad ascolatare live scenes from new york i pezzi dove stecca sono veramente tanti e non sono di certo quelle stecche che dici " ma si dai ci può stare"..no proprio no...poi a roma si va a sentire i dream da poco...non ci sarei mai voluto andare...forse era anche colpa dei fonici...ma comunque lui di sicuro ha penalizzato molto tutte le canzoni...era inascoltabile, stonato...mentre gli altri erano fantastici suonando (ecco perchè secondo me meglio cambiarlo). Sinceramente io ci avrei visto una voce sempre pulita...ma non la sua. Ma questo è sempre un mio parere...non so io sono sfegatato di dream e mi sono sempre piaciuti...ma c'è sempre stato un po di amaro mentre li ascoltavo...è proprio una cosa mia....non mi piace come voce e se lo cambiassero magari con uno un po più giovane con una voce alta e pulita secondo me ai vari fans non dispiacerebbe.
C'è anche da dire poi...che la sua voce in pezzi come "a nightmare to remember" ecc... non ci sta a fare proprio niente...in canzoni come quelle ci starebbe bene la voce russell! (sempre un mio parere eh) :)
