Hes not even close to the best bassist of all time,thats objectively speaking,but that doesnt mean he isnt great and doesn't have unique and solid elite level skill though which he for sure does.
I finally got to speak with John Myung tonight at our kids' National Honor Society's induction. Not a warm or personable guy at all. The conversation got funky when I started talking about Dream Theater from a drummer's perspective, which evolved into a conversation about M. Portnoy.
Lt. Frank Drebin Depends on the conversation. I play the cello, so being constricted to a bass part I shouldn’t have to be in in modern compositions seems commonplace with a normal instrument; I mean seriously, John Petrucci’s guitar is tuned lower than the cello’s mild C string. I’d always love to try playing the bass, I’ve got the big hands to do it. When it comes down to it, it’s not that he’s not easy to get along with, it’s that he’s experienced and generally is used to hearing stuff about his own band. Perhaps you took him into a personal level when you brought up the drums and Portnoy.
@@jacobjohnson2603 its not like dance of eternity is very similar to metropolis lmao. youre acting like the part they transitioned from was similar to the original, it wasnt
John is SUCH a good bass player but I often lose him in the mix...I get that dynamics in a band like dream theater with a keyboard are different than Rush, but I wish John's tone cut through the mix a little more like Geddy's and I could listen to him throughout every song.
John Myung, Dream Theater's secret weapon they don't even know about. I really wish he could be heard a little more in the mix of their stuff. I know he can't have such a big presence as say Geddy Lee or Chris Wolstenholme, but let me hear him. And I get that you don't want too much bass, but Yes has a very similar lineup to that of Dream Theater and you can hear Chris Squire fine. John is still a legend, just wish he was more audible than he is.
I am speechless.........I watched the drummer auditions and that was awesome.......but seriously....who could replace this guy?.....or the guitar player ...or the keyboards.....I am a new fan of Dream Theater........BIGTIME......
Everyone knows how good Petrucci is. And although Rudess could have been a concert pianist, good luck finding anyone to cover any of the three keyboardists' parts. And when you try to find a drummer of Portnoy's (or Mangini's) calibre, you're in trouble. But John Myung is just unique.
I Think this is a matter of ear training, after some time of playing and listening to bass lines and solos, you can hear the Low voices better in the music
What i love from John Myung is: no one ever compare him with other bassist. Like there are so many people compare John Petrucci with Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, or Steve Vai. Mike Mangini with Mike Portnoy. Jordan Rudess with Kevin Moore or Derek Shrenian. And James Labrie with other vocalists
@@MrVideoCreative Style Billy : bump all note with fuckin technique Myung : keep the Bass line and know his portions in song But Billy and John myung is my favorite Bass players
Sad to see that watching these extremely gifted musicians evokes stupid arguments about how good John really is, even adding vampires (wtf!) to the 'discussion' and how people have the urge to resort to meaningless name calling. All I can say is that these guys are the most gifted musicians I have ever seen or heard. But music isn't all about virtuosity. Simply compare Mozart to Paganini, or David Gilmour to John Petrucci, or Tal Wilkenfeld to John Myung. I have been playing guitar and bass for over 45 years now but I will never ever reach this level of perfection. Anyway, my deepest respect to these hard working geniuses.
I see his fingers moving but I haven't heard a note he's played! How does anyone know how good this guy is if you can't hear him! Are there any videos of him playing without all the treble turned up to 11? Geez!
it's very hard , but not as hard as you think , that's a two hands octave tapping riff , left start at fret no.2 , than do a octave , same to right hand but start on fret no.9 , than tap 9 again , than tab 4 on d string than double tab a's 9 than e's 9 than repeat.
É impressão minha, mas segundos antes do taping, deu a intender que ele tava sumilando a base, porque ele parou antes, porém a imagem continuou normalmente 👀
This video is at least eight years old because Portnoy is still in the band. I spoke with John Myung a few nights ago and he looks remarkably older than you see in this vid.

John myung is a vampire, I swear his appearance never changes while the other members change so much
:D
:D
korean's supernatural power lol
hes a vampire from noblesse
yes, john is a vamp. this is a secret.
When John Myung met the devil at the crossroads to become the greatest bassist of all time, he sold his voice instead of his soul.
Hes not even close to the best bassist of all time,thats objectively speaking,but that doesnt mean he isnt great and doesn't have unique and solid elite level skill though which he for sure does.
Fact: Myung is better composser and bass player than Geddy Lee.

no one talking about how smooth is the transition from dance of eternity to the metropolis solo??
almost as if dance of eternity was another take on metropolis
@@jacobjohnson2603 its not like dance of eternity is very similar to metropolis lmao. youre acting like the part they transitioned from was similar to the original, it wasnt
@@jacobjohnson2603Well, It's not that wrong because dance of eternity is from metropolis pt2
Holy smokes lol
One of my favorite Bass Player.
Bassist.
As a guitarist I often overlook John Myung, but damn he is the John Petrucci equivalent of bass
All of these guys make me ill, they're so unreal in their ability. OMG
John is SUCH a good bass player but I often lose him in the mix...I get that dynamics in a band like dream theater with a keyboard are different than Rush, but I wish John's tone cut through the mix a little more like Geddy's and I could listen to him throughout every song.
True!!
DontKillAnts so true
That's so true, It happens with most bass players in a band.
Claypool is the best one
@@li-ion6333 Claypool by far has the loudest instrument in every Primus song.
John Myung is LEGEND...
Period!
The legend says that any women who's touched by Myung' fingers, would never feel pleasure again.

These guys were my favorite musicians when I was in high school. Everyone in jazz band listened to them. It’s been 20 years I still can’t get enough.
This man inspired me to get a 6 string bass. Now, I just can't put it down!
How is it going?
I was skeptical buying mine but god is it fun. The high range just adds so much versatility

Well,John Petrucci is the one who mixes DT songs,so of course he wants his guitar to be the loudest in the mix.
Asian Solo Fingering would be the best title I guess
Kevin Gardo black long hair asian solo fingering
soooo clickbait hahahahahahahaha
I am speechless.........I watched the drummer auditions and that was awesome.......but seriously....who could replace this guy?.....or the guitar player ...or the keyboards.....I am a new fan of Dream Theater........BIGTIME......
1:17 the lick
The lick but it's played over the giant steps changes in 13/16
Never noticed that ahahahah
Wow. I never caught it
Nice

But John Myung is just unique.
John is an astounding bassist truly and in my opinion the second greatest of all time
whos your first pick
@@luigitedjoputro3056 personally? Geddy lee
He`s Monster of the Heavy Metal, Bravo!!!
Does anyone else notice him trip up starting at 0:44? I can't be the only person who noticed that.
NO amount of practice or time will have me playing this....but I'm good with that....there's only one John Myung.
1:02 Really??? No reaction? If I could do this I would smile for the rest of my life
Andre Santos hahaha
These guys sound like they would make music for final fantasy
Yes
That's only this song, the rest of their discography is more "easy listening"
@@marius9372 ok
笑う以外無いです✨
Great player but they mix his bass horrible. You can never hear him unless guitar stops playing. It's a shame cuz he's so awesome.
Brian Dickinson this is so trueeeee
that’s what you get for having JP producing DT’s albums
I Think this is a matter of ear training, after some time of playing and listening to bass lines and solos, you can hear the Low voices better in the music
distance over time changed that for the better
Jack, exactly and that’s the problem with skilled musicians. They don’t realize the average ear can’t pick up those sounds. Like Rex from Pantera.
Here's a drinking game: every time Myung moved his head to fix his hair, take a shot
*Oh no*
He's never aging
I don't know, what cooler
Memes about John
Or
John
These guys abilities are too awesome
Myung the best ...
... amazing .!!
so freaking awesome
O melhor do mundo sem dúvidas
好き・・・・。
Myung is the best; none other can compare; from any age...Plus, he usually plays a six-string bass.
Guys barley audible most of the time
@@joesmith4045
He's playing what Petrucci plays, mostly, who is the best guitarist of all time.
David 504 : *checkmate*
Davie could probably play this
@@jacurururur8848 Davie could probably somehow slap this.
hhahahahhaa
John Myung is a wayyyy better bassist than Davie, love davie but John Myung is on a whole other level
@@aidenlol546 obviously, but Davie can do this solo
Any time I hear a Dream Theater song, I get the urge to pick up a game controller
É muito pouco dizer que esse cara é fantástico!
Listen these argentinian bassist..better than myung

Don't compared john myung and Billy Sheehan cause they play with different style
bicho é monstrinho mesmo no baixo. Toca muitoooo
John Myung is the greatest bass player and it's not even close.
1 of the few times you could hear John Myung playing.
Legend
World Class
The way he flicks his hair back like it's just a breeze.
This is music for musicians. The Lehman will be lost.
PURE BASS GOD!!

I know how talented he is, but everytime I watch his videos, I'm like what the f**k was that... And my head still couldn't wrap around that.
Bass is a part of his body

Davie504(ik he's a youtuber, but I'm gonna mention him anyways), Les Claypool, Geddy Lee, & John Myung are my favorite bassists
Davie is nowherr close to these guys
LOL Davie is so out of place amongst the other 3 names you mentioned.
Davie who? haha His just famous to the kids this days
@@natnatdarwin I saw his latest video
@@natnatdarwin About his difficult challenges by some kid's bass skills, etc
Dude what is that last song? I can't find it and it seems like the craziest thing he's played. Even more so than the dance of eternity.
A Change of Seasons - about 12:18 min.... :)
that was a cut from A Change of Seasons
Yeah its a change of seasons
The part around 0:50 was from Metropolis Part 1: The dreamer and the sleeper I think
Fucking Slayer *Miracle and the sleeper. I love that song. Makes me wanna pick up a bass, but Petrucci inspires me to keep going forward till I shred.
it's very hard , but not as hard as you think , that's a two hands octave tapping riff , left start at fret no.2 , than do a octave , same to right hand but start on fret no.9 , than tap 9 again , than tab 4 on d string than double tab a's 9 than e's 9 than repeat.
Lel tripple solo at the end
Michael Niesobsky Then it's no longer a "solo" is it
Anyway he is the greatest bass player in the world
No. Al Cisneros
Sounds like sega games
1:17
1:40 shit, that sound!
My only complaint is that they do not mic up his sound enough. He is too good to be lost in the mix.
É impressão minha, mas segundos antes do taping, deu a intender que ele tava sumilando a base, porque ele parou antes, porém a imagem continuou normalmente 👀
This video is at least eight years old because Portnoy is still in the band. I spoke with John Myung a few nights ago and he looks remarkably older than you see in this vid.
This was recorded for the Live at Budokan video in 2004, so the footage is 14 years old.
If people's body were 3m tall giant robots instead of 2m flesh body, we'd be enjoying this as dance rhythm....
