First Time Listening to Dream Theater Songs, And It's The Dance Of Eternity, It's like you're a Beginner and Trying the Hardest Level
"As I Am"
I guess I am kinda off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream new movies online?
@Clyde Van lately I have been using FlixZone. Just search on google for it =)
@Arlo Francis Yea, I have been watching on flixzone for months myself =)
@Arlo Francis Thank you, signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it !!
Don't be sorry, it's a reaction and not an ad. Your honesty is worth a lot more than any fake excitement.
I really like the progressive complexity of DT songs. I can listen to them for hours and don't get bored at all.
You got thrown into the deep end my friend, so I'd like to suggest another Dream Theater song that will be a lot more accessible to a new listener like yourself. That song is As I Am.
It's more of a medley than a song, I'm not sure why people recommend this. Train of Thought is the album that got me interested in DT so good choice with 'As I Am',
My fav now is probably Images and Words or Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence but it's hard to pick a favorite, so many amazing albums.
These recommendations are just silly imho.
@@Pulsed101 When Lost in Vegas reacted to As I Am, they said that it should have been the first Dream Theater song they reacted to, and to please recommend it to other reactors first. I try to follow that advice.
@@Pulsed101 for me Metropolis Pt2 was the album that threw me into DT... but I can understand that the best two songs for introducing yourself to them are As I Am and Pull Me Under.... from there you can go to Metropolis Pt2 or Octavarium
This song is a part of a complex concept album. The whole track is a kind of a transition between the previous and the next track of the album. Taking it out of context and listening to only this, doesn't make much sense. I would definitely recommend listening to the whole album if you haven't already, it is a masterpiece. Thanks for the honest opinion, though.
yeah this was literally my first experience with the band, but a lot of you are giving me the same feedback. So we will definitely be checking them out again...very soon!
@@TomTuffnuts You should go chronologically from their 1992 album images and words....
The Frontman of Dream Theatre is James Labrie, a really great singer. I guess this one was played during his pause😉 I've heard him at Ayreon: The Day that The World Breaks Down, a project where he participates together with 10 other singers (some of which you've already seen) Highly recommended for it's great and introduces you to a LOT of good metal singers.
Tom, you are not allowed to react to Ayreon without your wife!!!!
@@Wriwnas1 I have to second that. Sarah has been pushing for musical Theater and Ayreon is just that, but with a serious metal twist.
I love the band, but I really hate when DT fans request reactors to listen to Dance of Eternity or Metropolis Pt1 for their first song. The songs are great songs, but they are among the least accessible to new listeners who aren't use to extremely proggy songs. It's a cliche, but Pull Me Under, As I Am, and/or Panic Attack are much better songs introductory songs for the band (all of which do feature vocals). After doing a couple of those assuming you're still interested, then graduate to some mildly proggy ones like Home, Breaking All Illusions, Learning to Live, In The Name of God, and The Glass Prison. Once those are under the belt, then graduate to the epics like A Change of Seasons, Octavarium, The Count of Tuscany, and Illumination Theory.
You are so correct
I believe DT is the best band in history and I totally agree with you on this!
Dream Theater is the most talented band ever.. These Gods are Gods among us.. 🤘🏽
Dream Theatre does indeed have a front man, this is just an instrumental. Fun fact in this performance Mike Mangini is behind the drum kit, but this was originally performed with Mike Portnoy as drummer. The song is a monster with over 100 time signature changes through the song. As a recomendation, "Metropolis Part 1", "Enemy Inside", but for a more conventional style of song writing definitly "As I am"
You should react to the count of tuscany, it represents what you're looking for
I don't think this song should be listened to alone as it's from a concept album, except as a display of crazy stuff DT can pull. Listening to it alone is kinda like listening to a pre-chorus of a pop song alone.
Maybe try Pull Me Under (don't go for the music video, there's sections missing to keep it short), that's their greatest hit. They even named their consept album _Greatest Hit (...And 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs)_
I love this: The guitarist is really good too!
How dare he speak like that of THE GOD of guitar.
By this time, does he have realized who John Petrucci is?
6 string basses are pretty common now, especially in jazz. No one is going to be playing 4 string bass before long. A cop-out I think, Jaco Pastorius played a 4 string. The problem with the 6 string is that the sound and the tendency is to start sounding like and competing with the lead guitar. The bass is supposed to work with the drummer to hold down the bottom line. As Jaco showed, it can be done brilliantly and powerfully on 4 string.
You should really check out The Glass Prison next from Dream Theater to hear the original drummer Mike Portnoy in his full glory. It's from the album Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Insanely epic stuff!!
Actually, Dream Theater is from Long Island, NYC. John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston.
I can't figure out why anyone who is suggesting a DT song to someone who's never seen nor heard the band before would pick "Dance of Eternity" as their introductory offering. It's not even their best technical song, let alone a good intro. I would have gone with something more melodic like "Under a Glass Moon," "Take the Time" or the ol' standby, "Pull Me Under." Suggesting an instrumental wouldn't be the way I'd go, outright.
That's a middle piece from a very conceptual album telling a very specific mystical story, and it's definitely one of their "non-song" structured songs, kinda a medley type composition. They vary from ballads to even more experimental. I think you would like "Train of Thought" 2003 album of theirs
Trying to keep count with this song is so hard. The poly rhythms and unisons are unbelievable
Well you certainly picked the right band. Still going now. Count of Tuscany, Octavarium, On The Backs of Angels, all worth a listen but frankly there are hours and hours of amazing music from this band. They are all elite musicians and whilst the vocalist is not thought of as the best live, he is brilliant on the studio versions.
This song is a bit like a music theory and technical test but trust me they have some amazing melodic songs into which the solos are more integrated and which Have James LaBrie up front singing which I think you would probably prefer.
Try ‘On the backs of Angels’ (Live from Luna Park) next. See what you think of that.
Octavarium is not a good song to recommend for his 2nd track of DT
Thanks for admitting that you *don't* like this track. This is everything that people love & hate about DT: it's just so difficult to play and they are the ultimate “virtuoso” band. But while I like the piece myself I think it's completely legitimate to zone out and say “difficult to play? so what if I don't enjoy it!”
Dude dream theater is such a talented band thanks for reacting to them love these guys !!!
If you want to see the drummer on action react to his solo ( Mike Mangini Drum solo Live at Breaking the fourth wall )
Lol. Don't be sorry. This music is very much like jazz. It took me years and years to reach a point in my life where I finally heard in jazz what jazz lovers had been talking about. Up until then, it just wasn't for me, I didn't get it. Now that I do hear it and love it, I also finally get the appeal of listening to other great musicians like Dream Theater, and Animals As Leaders, and Buckethead, etc. I would just encourage you to every so often, maybe every time you feel your musical tastes get stretched, that you go back and give this music another listen to just to see if anything has changed about the way you hear it. And if it never changes, that's okay. Not everything is for everyone.
First time listener of DT's The Dance Of Eternity who can react somehow impressive are people who know a lot of music and can understand the amount of talent and composition, if you are not, then this could happen, At this time you maybe have listened to another DT songs, but for a new DT listener this is no the way you can carry them in into DT music.
Plays Dance of Eternity live with an orchestra and you were expecting a lot more? I think you mean, you were expecting something different.
As mentioned by someone else. Just like Nightwish you began at a very advanced level. Try" Count of Tuscany" live.
If you don't know Dream Theater,... "You know nothing, John Snow."
Go chek lines in the sand of dream theater. Falling into infinity , images and words, Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory and awake albums is a good way to introduce to this band!
This one is to complexe to listen if you are not prepared and in the mood of the show.
Lines in the sand is One of the most powerful guitar solo and song!!!!
And Hell’s Kitchen !!!
GO CHEK IT!!!
If you are more metal, go dig train of though album , like as I am, stream of consciousness.
Or Systematic of chaos album with dark ethernal night and the presence of ennemis 1 and 2
Then, count of Tuscany, six degree of inter turbulence, a change of seasons, Octavarium etc.., they have tons of album since 1985 🤘🏼😎
So you’ll gonna find your best song in the world in their discography for sure 😉
Originally from Long Island NY. The new drummer is from Boston.
airman+DEEP end= crash and burn. Try “Pull Me Under” from the Images and Words album. It’s more what you’re looking for. Proggy without being too self indulgent.
Cheers
Here's a like for your honesty
You wanted your mind blown? This is the perfect song for that.
Panic Attack is one of my favorites of theirs, I think you will like it. It's extremely fun and energetic.
If you want to understand a bit better what the hell is going on, I recommend you watch the video where Mike Portnoy (their former drummer) explains all the time signature changes that are in this song. This is a very complex and purposely chaotic song which is part of a concept album, meaning, it makes more sense within the context of the story they are telling in said album. Not all their songs are instrumental, most of them feature their vocalist, James Labrie, who I personally don't really like, specially live. In any case, they are all highly trained musicians (in the beginning they were all Berklee College of Music alumni) and their technique is exquisite. If this song is not to your taste, I highly suggest you don't give up on them or on the whole progressive metal genre and keep listening to more songs and bands. It will be worth it. I promise. ;)
Def give them a shot on some other stuff. The Dance of Eternity is solid and gets recommended a lot because of its crazy time signature changes (over 100). Here are some I can think of that may be more to your liking: As I am, In The Name of God, Panic Attack, Constant Motion, A Nightmare to Remember, The Shattered Fortress, The Enemy Inside, Untethered Angel, Paralyzed
Check out Babymetal, Boh the bassist plays a custom 6 string,
Rondo of Nightmares with Mischief of the Metal Gods inteo
My "gateway drug" to Dream Theater was "Pull Me Under". It appears on the album "Images and Words" and also "Greatest Hit (...and 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs)" (it'd be the hit that they're referring to. I'm pretty sure that "Pull Me Under" was a lot of fans' introduction to the band as the original video appeared fairly regularly on MTV back in the day.
Beyond that, I'd throw out "The Spirit Carries On"...the version that features Theresa Thomason. It's a pretty epic version of the song.
And, because I'm trying to throw out songs that haven't already been recommended, "Panic Attack" is a bit manic.
And, like others have stated, an instrumental probably wasn't the best way to get introduced to the band.
If this is your first dream theater listen it's no wonder you dont get them. Songs like this or metropolis etc. Arent great for first listens and are more enjoyed by more fans of dream theater
Clicked send too soon lol. Dream theater is extremely prog/experimental based metal and have quite a few songs that arent good for discovering the band. I'd recommend some of their more straightforward tracks to start like pull me under, finally free, pale blue dot, panic attack, another day, as I am.
OOOF! Starting your DT journey with The Dance of Eternity. OUCH! Who ever suggested this for you found the deepest pool they could find, tossed you in and made sure there wasn't any water in it.
This piece of music is most likely the quintessential of prog. And as others have mentioned it is a bridge piece in a concept album. This piece, as a stand alone, I think is more for music nerds, math geeks and musicians. For me, I find DT music relaxing. This piece is SO far outside the box that the string anchoring you to your box was becoming to thin and you didn't want it to break (ya lost interest). Thanks for at least staying till the end. I believe I've seen one other reactor not even finish. If you do return to DT, not too many songs of theirs that are less than 5 mins. Most of their music pieces (and with lyrics) are between 7-13 mins. Maybe for SAG, watch reactions from musicians , vocal coaches, and composers that have done this piece.
Thanks and have a good day!!!
They are actually from New York
The reason this song gets suggested is the sheer complexity and showing off thats going on with made time signature changes etc. But as an introduction to the band its definitely not the way to go. There's plenty of songs i have no doubt youd enjoy, most with vocals too.
As I Am
Paralyzed
The Glass Prison
In the Name of God
Honor Thy Father (if not just for the crazy drum intro)
There are many more
I reccomend u listen to A change of seasons or metropolis pt 1 i think u'll enjoy those wayyyyy more. This song is not really meant to enjoy per se they just decided to DESTROY TIME SIGNATURES in one song....
React pale blue dot dt the best band ever
This is more of a medley than a song, If you want heavy, "Train Of Thought" is a damn solid album.
Why people recommend this blows my mind, it's pretty cool technically but, first time hearing i'd be like no dude this is fucking weird. Just hit up 'Train of Thought' on the way to work one day, you might not love it but I *guarantee* you will like it
This track is actually like an overly complex instrumental version of the track "Metropolis pt 1" because it has so many elements from that original song. That's a track that I'd definitely recommend listening to next, it's the first song I heard from Dream Theater and it got me instantly hooked. I appreciate Dance of Eternity as a technical showcase but the original song is a much better composition.
Yeah they have one of the best vocalists... and many simple songs too
It's not that drummer that sounds insane...
That is portnoy's song and all the lines were created by him
Much better drummer than the "new Mike"
Very technic song !
You just jumped head down into one of the most complex and difficult pieces of Dream Theater. This band needs a little ear and brain training to get used to them. Normally I would recommend you to start with some of the more commercial songs of them. If you want to give them another cance, "As I Am" and "Pull Me Under" are the ones you're looking for...
Oh yes!! And this is one of the few songs without lyrics >O
As many people have said, you were thrown into the deep with this one. Is beyond me why people recommend this as an introduction to DT, are they just going for the wow factor? There's easier gateways into DT that people have mentioned. There's Pull me Under if you want an older hit song, As I Am if you're in for something heavier and catchy while still having amazing instrumentals or Illumination Theory if you want something longer and epic with symphonic elements.
Don't be sorry, liked you reaction
the song you chose is one of the most complex ones, the band plays progressive metal, so it will always feel different than the usual music you are used to to, you might wanna give them another chance, check out songs with the vocals you might like it.
Oh my lord. Dream Theater is from Long Island not Boston. Being from Long Island myself, I might have let that pass if it wasn't Boston you said they were from. LOL. The bassist and Guitarist went to H.S. together in Kings Park Long Island. When they went to Berkeley, they met the original drummer and namer of the group. He is from Long Beach Long Island. I know at least three of the group still live on Long Island.
They are considered the number one prog band in the world. They have been around since I think 1988 and release a new album about every 2 years with another one due later this year. And around ten live dvds. Because their music is so complex, I can see this not being for everyone. But saying that, the more you listen to them the more you tend to like them. This song you picked is like 20 years old but this is a newer version of the original live performance and while representative of their musical talents, maybe not the best song to start with because there is no singing in it. Most of their songs, maybe 95% of the songs has a singer which you didn't see here. This by far is not one of my favorite songs by them either. My original favorite songs by them were "As I am" "In the Name of God and "Home" But they have so so many songs I like way better than this one.
Try The Enemy Inside, I think you will like more and have the singer
I dislike that your first DT experience wasn't a stand alone song instead of a track of a concept album. It's like trying to judge a band based on only a solo played during a song without hearing the rest of the song. You got robbed a little here
Yes, you got flung at the deep end of the pool buddy. Just like Nightwish, there is a starting point and this was not it. This was one of their few instrumentals.
DREAM THEATER - THE GLASS PRISON
Been a DT fan since 2000 and in my opinion they are by far the best band in history! But you ran into the only problem with Dream Theater which is, there isn't one single good song to introduce anyone to them with lol! They have only a handful of instrumentals and this is part of a concept album in the middle of an epic story.
I'd say a good handful of songs to check out is Count of Tuscany, The Alien, The Spirit Carrie's On, and Illumination Theory!
If you really like Mike Mangini (this drummer) you will be amazed by Mike Portnoy (the original drummer)
You might like the album Distance Over Time from Dream Theater. Songs have lots of energy with singing. It has more rhythmic melodies that you might like better.
I'm a fan of DT but I'd never suggest to anyone to listen to this song as first song from them, it's like trying to drive an F1 as your first car. BTW if I understand it correctly you've never listen to many US metal band, well there are tens of great US metal bend to listen before DT, I love them, but my first choice would be Metallica or Megadeth or Pantera, not DT!
I have seen them live in the Netherlands and it was kinda mindblowing they're awesome musicians without a doubt but yeah there is a but, everybody in the crowd stood there with their mouth open because it's not normal how they can play this is real next level stuff but everybody was standing still and seems to be hypotised including me, I saw Metallica a couple of times live and they may not be as talented as Dream Theatre is but Metallica blew the roof off and it was party time the whole crowd went nuts if you look at the crowd in your video ok you see a couple of hands sticking up in the crowd but that's it there isn't a party going on unless they are great musicians but play awesome and preform awesome are separete things, i saw them live and James la Brie was the singer and they had an other drummer i think it was Mike Portnoy or something band is great but without a real party.
You should check out this same song but with the original drummer Mike Portnoy on their Scenes From New York tour. Incredible stuff.
Who knows how many odd time signatures there are?
A lot!
This is with the newer drummer, Mike Mangini. Look for an older video from something like Metropolis 2000 (not the Live at Luna Park version) with their original drummer, Mike Portnoy. Mangini is great but Portnoy is much more fun to watch and listen to in my opinion. And James Labrie could actually sing back then.
I think that there are “gateway” songs to get into bands, songs that are listener-friendly but are representative of what the band does. Roundabout by Yes comes to mind immediately. Gates of Delirium shouldn’t be one’s introduction to Yes. Dance of Eternity shouldn’t have been your introduction to Dream Theater. If you’re willing to give DT another chance, try the album version of Pull Me Under, not the shortened music video version. It’s how most of us first became aware of DT. Enjoy.
The fact that this is always the first song suggested makes the average DT fan a total sadist....why is that I wonder? This song here is not a song, but an instrumental "interlude" that is part of an album which is written in acts and is at the same time also literally the second part of a song published in 1992. Sounds and references to that song are scattered throughout the album that this song is from. Listening to just this song is like only eating the flour of a cake, an especially courageous introduction. I don't know your channel well, but try the song "Breaking all Illusions" live in Boston.
Thank you and yes we will be reacting to more DT with vocals. Just went where I was told
Yes very complex song to listen to for the first time. There are so many great songs they do. In the name of God is awesome, Illumination Theory is amazing. The enemy inside is also great. They are very complex and do a lot of time changes but are monster players and best of all are really nice guys. Great pure comment. Very refreshing.
Got to Check out Symphony X. There from US.
No, They are from New York.
Every DT fans that suggests Dance of Eternity for a first time reaction to DT are idiots, way to soon for that as it's more complicated for someone who's not used to Dream Theater to digest. Literally every other popular tracks that gets reacted to are better for a first listen, The Glass Prison (perfect track to start with Dream Theater), On The Back of Angels, A Nightmare to Remember, The Count of Tuscany, Breaking All Illusions, Pull me Under, Panic Attack, Honor Thy Father and In the Name of God are all songs that I would recommend.
Try Dream Theater feat. Lzzy Hale "Our New World" ? If you want some US Symphonic metal try "Mute Prophet" - based in St. Louis? Appreciate your honesty. Horses for courses, mate!
Ouch, that is a hard start…and understable.
I would recommend to go with «In the name of God» live, much easier start.
You like listening metal while metal is listening Dream Theater.
Where have you been 😅
Any from the US? Don't forget *KAMELOT* (Tampa, Florida). A must hear/see is a (live) song called *_"Elisabeth (I, II & III) "_* (with their first singer Roy Kahn (Tommy Karevik now)): ruclips.net/video/ecvHBLadaxM/видео.html
Btw. if I'm not mistaken, this one is in your favourite color too 😉 (well, some parts).
Btw2. and it's ....... Sarah-material 😜
Dream Theater is light-years more talented than any Euro group.
also hello to the people stalking my comments
Wow, you got thrown into the deep end! This is definitely not the song to be introduced to them and I would've been very surprised if you were into it right away. Definitely give them another chance - The Count of Tuscany, A Change of Seasons, Illumination Theory, or if you feel those are too long you could go with As I Am, or Barstool Warrior. Stay away from Metropolis Pt1 if you didn't like this one (for now at least). There's plenty more to be recommended but I think any of these would be a good starting point.
Dream TheatER.... get it right kids.
That comment at the end just proves you’re not a musician. If you “lost interest” it’s because you couldn’t keep up. This is a masterpiece and the level of complexity of their music is just at another level. Just react to Justin Bieber next time since it seems “catchy tunes” are your thing. This is music for musicians, not fanboys.
Where did i ever state i was a musician? Go back in your dungeon, because sunlight clearly does you no good. Also, Justin Bieber is my dawg ;)
jason richardson tendinitis :)
Yes they have songs with singing, but look Prog Metal is not for everyone.
And this song in particular is very experimental.
You probably like shorter songs, most people lose attention after 4 minutes, so can't blame you.
You do anything other than metal?
check out Band Maid.
Or check our Dreamcatcher, they are a Kpop band that attempts to mix in metal and hard rock in parts of their songs, to be "creepy spooky kpop"
Dance of Eternity and he is waiting for more? ok. jajajaja I like the video because he says the truth but man.
"Dream theater " is literally musicians 's music!
Anyways.. Great reaction!
Maybe you should further react/listen to their discography.
I would suggest that better listen to their older discographies and then move on up on their time-line.
"I kind of lost interest.." Yeah, I am a huge DT fan, but to be honest "Dance of Eternity" is a bit wordy. This is one of a few song's that you will hear people reference, that James Labrie (their vocals) does not sing in.
Okay, next DT's octavarium
Slowly bro..u r not used to this kind of genre..listen more and u will be interested soon maybe..rock on🤘
This was one of the absolute wrong songs to start with. It’s a mid album instrumental from a concept album. If you want to hear a more atomic song from this album, try “Home” from Metropolis Part 2. But really, you should probably start with “Pull Me Under” from their Images and Words album. With Dream Theater, like Nightwish, you should start with their more accessible stuff first. Another excellent starter song is “As I Am” from their Train of Thought album.
This song just "too high" for you as a first listener. Well, don't blame yourself... you've got to be honest. Maybe you can listen to Burning My Soul or Pull Me Under... try it.
Please react Dream Theater Illumination Theory live on boston
Sounded like free form jazz on acid, great musicians but not for me. Have heard their lead singer James Labrie on an Ayreon track and he's good.
7:35 - And not all Dream Theater is as good as this, unfortunately they also have an singer that .. well is not the best. Especially live.
But for more 'murican instrumental goodness, try "Animals as Leaders". Here's a link to a double whammie live, first "The Woven Web" and from 4min30sec onwards "CAFO"
ruclips.net/video/DWfg5BhYL5I/видео.html
So I notice you didn’t even do another song by dream theater. You don’t even know anything about music if you don’t appreciate this
Hmm youre an interesting type. I do the majority of my reactions based on what is suggested by You. I do plan on reacting to another DT song. Also, did i claim anywhere in the video that I am an expert in music? Did I say I didnt like this song? Nope. If you are going to attack me, atleast make sure u can back it up with facts rather than twisting my words. Thanks, bye
Try the spirit carries on
Wrong song to start with Dream Theater, if you want to get into their style you should listen some easier stuff as Pull Me Under, Learning to Live, Scarred, Lines in the Sand, Panic Attack and after that try to other songs such as Metropolis Part I, Home, The Glass Prison and so on. And here's one tip, don't listen Octavarium until you get used to their style, although it is my favourite song, but it's very strange arranged and written song that really demands carefully listening with knowledge about Dream Theater's influences and their music. All in all, don't listen Ocatavarium 'til you ready for it.
Hope you check out blind channel with snake with gg6 from amaranthe
They call the style violent pop
Rock music with a mainstream touch
You will like it
Hoping for more? Lol was 100+ time changes not enough for you
Not the best DM song for first reaction. I would recommend The shattered fortress or Illumination Theory from the same concert
Get to react to Home by them! It's like Tool on steroids
Dude you're insane...what more could you want? No other band could play what they are doing...it's the most technical and difficult stuff any musician could play...if you lost interest it's cause you where not paying attention to how difficult and on point they have to be in order to play that stuff like they did...smh
Have you lived under a rock? Not trying to be mean but..YOU Never heard of dream theater??
Ok exit America here----------*
Haha Im telling ya, i grew up on country, christian rock, and the crap they play on the radio. Its quite sad I know
The Dance of Eternity is literally the WORST song to start off with when going down the Dream Theater rabbit hole, especially if you're a metal head or used to mainstream music. It's way too "proggy" for people who aren't accustomed to the time signature/melodic changes. For a more metal-oriented Dream Theater, two albums come to mind: Awake! and, especially, Train of Thought. I suggest you begin exploring by listening to the songs in ToT in order, starting with "As I Am". Talk about pedal to the metal!
Wow?! I can understand that you couldn't get into it to a certain extent, but holy crap?! Talk about COMPLETLEY missing the point! As a suggestion, perhaps you should do a bit of preliminary research on songs/bands that you intend on reacting to! No offense, but I did leave a thumbs down! Not because I expected you to feel the same way about this music as I do. But, because of your clear lack of interest in actually taking the time to, at the very least, understand why your viewers suggest what they do!
