I'm glad you appreciate this band. There are some people out there who lack the intellect to understand and appreciate the genius of Dream Theater.
The drummer(Mike Mangini) has a ridiculous drum set for several reasons but the main reason is he taught himself to play ambidextrously. He's got pretty much a mirrored set-up on the left and right to where he can turn and play right handed/left handed or a combination of the two. Also at one point in the mid-2000s he held several speed records for hand and foot speed. He's also known for his work with poly-rhythms. His jam session during his audition which is on UA-cam(Dream Theater Take this for the Pain) is absolutely insane considering it was his first time playing together with the band.
what a badass!
@Sudipto Bhattacharyya Bro, you're totally wrong because Portnoy NEVER had a drum kit set up for playing ambidextrous because Portnoy doesn't play drums like that That is a Mangini thing. Also this particular song that they were reacting to "Lost Not Forgotten" was released AFTER Portnoy left the band. So, I'm not exactly sure how he composed the song in the studio with the band months after he'd left the band? For the record, I do prefer the Portnoy stuff.
@Sudipto Bhattacharyya Of course, Mangini has to use the same types of drums, toms and cymbals in order to recreate the sounds of older Dream Theater. He can't play an entirely different kit and expect the band or the fans to go along with it. Just because they reused some parts they(Petrucci/Rudess) had written beforehand doesn't mean anything. Furthermore, the majority of the drums were written/programmed by Petrucci because he and Rudess went away alone to write ADTOE and Petrucci was programming drum parts so they had some backbone to go along with. Mangini was brought into the studio to add to what Petrucci had laid out. Portnoy had nothing to do with the writing of drums parts on ADTOE. Honestly, if Portnoy was in the band ADTOE would've never happened since it was a re-hash of Images and Words.
@@sudiptobhattacharyya4184 The album this song is from was written after Portnoy left Dream Theater, and was the first album to be recorded with Mangini.
American progressive metal band Dream Theater's 11th album, A Dramatic Turn Of Events marked the first time that guitarist John Petrucci contributed the bulk of the lyrics, following the departure of founding member Mike Portnoy. He told MusicRadar it was an opportunity he relished. "I've been wanting to write an entire album of lyrics for a long time now," he said. "The process of connecting music to a message is so gratifying, especially when I have a singer like James La Brie, who can make words come to life in ways that are spine-tingling."
This song found Petrucci harping back to some of 1950s Hollywood's depictions of the ancient civilizations. Said Petrucci: "The mood of the song always reminded me of an old-time epic film like Ben-Hur. So I wrote lyrics that are somewhat historical about this ancient Persian elite fighting force that kind of died out. Again, a good example of my love for storytelling and linking music to words."
Petrucci told MusicRadar that musically this track is one of the most technical songs on A Dramatic Turn Of Events. "It has a lot of twists and turns and some crazy ideas that were confusing to us as we were writing and recording. It took a while to get it all under our fingers," he said. The axe-man added: "Guitar-wise, it's the one song where I tune down to D. I thought it would sound heavier that way. And it does - I think the song kicks some serious ass!"
The song features a diminished passage of unison playing. Said Petrucci: "I wrote it out and built it piece by piece, programming drums as I went. I showed it to Jordan (Rudess, keyboards), who said, 'That's crazy!' He learned it and put a harmony to it.
We played it for some of the people from Roadrunner who came by as we were recording, and they went crazy. One of them remarked that the diminished section was like being tickled - that feeling you get where you're saying, 'Stop, stop!' but somebody keeps tickling you anyway. So we started referring to that part as 'The Tickle Section.'"
I wish I could go back and discover Dream Theater for the first time again. I saw them in concert with Queensryche in like 2003 and was blown away. Been a fan ever since.
🤟!
I find myself coming back to this reaction. I love it.
This was a hell of an intro song into DT for you guys! They have a wide range of sounds, this is one of the more technically crazy songs!
They are amazing!
Check out their Instrumedley from their Live From Japan dvd. You will lose your mind!!!!
I already requested it. It's coming in Sept.
Now these guys are just showing Off! An amazing band
With DT’s deep New York roots, I’m surprised that you were unaware of them. Their music falls somewhere between Prog and Metal. You might enjoy the DVD of their 20th anniversary concert recorded at Radio City Music Hall, half of it with an orchestra. It’s called Score (get it?). Enjoy.
Well they were bigger outside of the states so they spent most of their time elsewhere but don’t get me wrong they did play a lot here and still do but just because they’re from New York doesn’t mean New Yorkers will be into them Just like anywhere a lot of people in New York like really shitty music
Great reaction, guys! I would love to see more reactions from you to Dream Theater... Like Breaking al Illusions, Voices, As I Am... Cheers from Brazil!
Cheers from Brooklyn!
Takes a few more people but good to hear someone to help fill the hole that's left with the exit of Rush in the musical cosmos. Progressive heavy metal.
Luna Park is in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
VIEW FROM THE TOP PF THE WORLD PLEAAAAASE ... GREATEST MASTERPIECE FROM THEM. they had a great journey during the pandemic
The former drummer of Dream Theater Mike Portnoy played drums on the Nightmare album by Avenged Sevenfold in 2010. That was about the time he left Dream Theater.
They're one of the biggest bands in Progressive/Metal, and somewhat known outside of that world, but not much, They had a slight radio hit in the early 90s, but I'm Not surprised you never heard of them.
They’re awesome!
Just NUTS,man!! 😮😂🍄
Please react to more Dream Theater. I recommend Metropolis Part 1, The Glass Prison, The Mirror/Lie (together), This Dying Soul, Octavarium, Dark Eternal Night, Illumination Theory, The Count of Tuscany, Pale Blue Dot, The Alien (new stuff). There's just so much to hear from this phenomenal band. They have been around since 1986. I look forward to more reactions to Dream Theater's music.
We definitely hope our patrons suggest more!
They have, basically, an instrumental side project called Liquid Tension Experiment you might enjoy, also.
one of the nuttiest song of theirs
For real
Only thing I can say is, you guys killed it! I loved watching your faces as Dream Theater melted your mind. These guy have been producing music as Dream Theater since 1988. They just finished there 15th studio album, and there still touring. Ok, so sit down for this. Originally 3 members of DT are from, you ready?.. New York! John Petrucci the lead guitar player is from Long Island along with John Myung the bass player. The original drummer Mike Portnoy in from Brooklyn I think. Those three met at Berkeley school of Music in 1984, and formed Majesty/Dream Theater. Jordan Rudess the keyboard player went to Julliard at age 9 and in now known as the world's top Piano/keys player. The Drummer, Mike Mangini Joined the group in 2010 after Mike portnoy left the group to form others like Sons of Apollo, Transatlantic, Liquid Tension Experiment, Winery Dogs, Neal Morse Band, and more. All these bands are at a Purple level. As Musicians I know you really appreciated this. You want more. You guys did such a fantastic job that I'm upping my Patron to 5 dollar tier. And I'm sending you more to mind melt off of. Now you know why I said they were # one on my favorite of all time. I was introduced to them in 1995, and my life with music has never been the same. I'm upping my tier, and requesting another. You think there Live performance was great, wait till you hear there Studio versions. Thank You oh so much for making my day. Now I'm gonna listen to it again. They've been all over the world, and there fans are millions.
Acctually technically during 1985 they were calling themselves majesty
Petrucci and myung lived in long Island NY not Manhattan
@@Moskal91 for a very short time. I didn't want to confuse them
@@michaelpebbles6243 fair enough lol

I'm sorry, ... I forgot to tell you, they leave you Speechless. It happens to all who hear and react. One guy said his brain was so fried he had to go to bed, and he did. The one I recently sent for Sept. is an instruments only piece. With four different camera angles., I can't wait.
😆 we were blown away!
Dream Theater formed in 1988. So yeah, that have been around forever. They have a new album out in a month or so. As I am sure others have said. The guitarists and bassists are High School buddies from Kings Park Long Island. The original drummer, founding member and namer of the band, not the dude in this video, is from Long Beach Long Island and I believe the keyboardist went to Juilliard in Manhattan. The singer is from Canada. The there Long Island boys met in Berkeley college and eventually dropped out to form DT. And this is not even their most complex song. Nor the best guitar solo. Most people say this drummer is a little better than the original dude but I prefer the original drummer. He helped write the songs and I think their songs are better with him. Also, the first drummer is more of a showman.
Thanks for the info Glenn!
1984
@@michaelpebbles6243 You got me on a technicality. LOL. Yes, when they formed they were known as Majesty but another band had the same name and they had to change their name to DT. I can't get a date for when they changed it other than sometime before their first release, "When Dream and Day Unite." But that was probably around 1988. For some reason I never seem to count the Majesty days.
Here's a comment you would have heard in the 60's which pretty much describes the way I feel about this. "And their music, it's just noise" But I am sure that is how my grandparents felt about the Beatles.
There’s a good chance!
Always think they would be better as a purely instrumental band.
Interesting! We ca see that.
the woman looks sleepy😪😁
That’s all you got out of this?
@@SightAfterDark Of course not, if you enjoyed the band, it is very usual for me, because me too. the man reaction is an usual thing when we hearing this band. but the woman is not usual. look the other reaction in the other channel. their reaction is looks like excitement.
No offense for the woman, this is my opinion for a thing what I looked in this video. Ok, fine.
The greatest story ever told by Dream Theater is The Count of Tuscany. It's 19min and it's a journey, and vastly better than this song.
Even if you don't react to it, do yourselves a favor and listen to it. ;)
Thanks for the tip!
Avenged Sevenfold was influenced by Dream Theater.
We can hear it for sure!
I tried to give you some new direction on what to focus on with your reactions. The only other artist that I see beating Dream theater is Frank Zappa. Pretty soon and your gonna run out of Frank, then where do you go. Dream Theater views are going thru the roof. The last request that I gave you ran into a wall. I didn't understand why you weren't interested in More subs and views. The last request was a band that consist of three members of Dream Theater, hence continuing the trend. I had unsubscribed from your page cuz you just don't seem interested in them to much. Liquid Tension Experiment was the group I requested. But you have other ways that gets plays. Ok.. If I'm gonna pay 5 dollars a month then I should get at least one request. Otherwise I'm just paying for a vote, and that isn't why I subscribed. I was wanting to help your page out. Now I have to find someone else. Everyone the reacts to DT has their UA-cam page going thru the roof. These guys are # 1, 2, and 3 in the World right now with the new Album. Your missing out.
Sorry for me boring! Its so predictable!
If its so boring and predictable. Please go ahead and compose something that isn't
I understand. Not so crazy about the lyrics and singing myself. Love the music though
DT have never been the same for me since Portnoy left. He WAS the spearhead for the band. He wrote so many of the songs and was the main creative force when it came to writing new material. He wrote the set list for every gig and did all of the bands social media and promotion even when the internet was barely a thing!
I like Mangini, hes technically probably better than MP, but that doesnt mean much. Its what's inside a persons head that matters when it comes to writing, and they lost something huge when they lost MP. As for Labrie, I've never rated him as a singer. Not a fan of his operatic style and he sings flat at 90% of the shows ive seen. In fact, wasnt it MP's dislike of Labries voice and wanting a new singer that eventually caused him to leave? The best thing about DT has always been the Portnoy, Rudess, Petrucci and Myung chemistry.
But to say DT are predictable or boring is a pretty odd opinion to have for a band that creates music that not many others can. Name me another band that sounds like DT and then I'll agree.
@@3allz I agree. But no portnoy left bcs he told the band That he thought they should retire for like 15 years and then make a comeback. It was a stupid idea and Obviously everyone else got pissed. Portnoy Made a rash decision and left the band He regretted it. But to say MP was the Creative force for the band is a little much. The main creative force is everyone... except labrie. Labrie has had a bad time taking care of his voice. I dont see where u get operatic thou
we respect your view!
