Dream Theater Reactions
![Wintersun - Ominous Clouds + Storm [Reaction/Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/aeaAEyjDtKc/mqdefault.jpg)
🤙🏼🤙🏼HOWZIT!!! Just wanted to let you know that I have done other DT on the channel - just search it from the front to my channel page. Cerveza Sunday is underway!! 🍺🍺
Dream theater is great!! But please do one more Mastodon tune. The Czar would be great. I've been requesting it the way you asked (I think). I'd love to hear one more before your break. This channel is my youtube favorite! Btw while I write this
..this song is killer!!!🤘
If you're looking to move to underground bands, I cannot recommend Alkaloid or Aether Realm highly enough. In particular, The Sun, The Moon, The Stars by Aether Realm or Rise of the Cephalopods by Alkaloid
Some other ones I recommend would be Wilderun, Ne Obliviscaris, 1914, Archspire, Diablo Swing Orchestra, In Vain, Misery Signals, Native Construct, Persefone, or Zeal and Ardor. You wouldn't go wrong with any of them
Enjoy! @Key of Geebz
Please guy, Streetlight Manifesto! We Will Fall Together is a good starting point.
To add to the list of underground metal/prog bands you may want to check out by @Acre00 :
The Stranger,
Judicator
Disforia or Principium,
Vulkan,
Lor,
Xanthochroid
I think a good song to check out is Passenger by Wilderun. It's a single from their upcoming 4th album, which judging by their previous releases, is going to be phenomenal.
The weird "ending" is not actually part of Panic Attack. Octavarium is based on the notes in western music, with all the songs representing F, G, A, etc and little interludes between representing sharps and flats. In the CD version, they're done with "gap tracks" which are separate from the actual songs but when they get ripped into streamable formats, they get tacked on the end of the track before. They're technically their own little separate entities in the key between each of the main songs.
And I thought I knew everything about that album.
Interesting. What other Dream Theater songs can this be heard in? I did always wonder about the ending to Panic Attack
@@LanguagesWithJamie On Octavarium, pretty much every song that doesn't "end"right away. Like, if you hear some kind of weird sound effect or ambiance that doesn't belong, those are they.
In between The Root of All Evil and The Answer Lies Within (birds chirping and whatnot). In between The Answer Lies Within and These Walls... This one is subtle but the last note of the song gets slowly pitch shifted up a note. In between These Walls and I Walk Beside You, the whole thing with the clock. And the final one (since we already mentioned Panic Attack) is in between Never Enough and Sacrificed Sons. All the artificial Arabic style chatter. If you want to see where these actually start, Google the back cover of the album if you don't own it. They have the true track lengths on them. You'll notice a difference to what's shown online.
@@NaanProphet thanks for the in depth comment! I love Octavarium and I will now go and relisten to the album and try and listen out for these endings. I have noticed in a few songs the endings are abrupt, do you know the reason behind Pull me Under’s ending which ends abruptly? On Spotify it’s followed by Another Day but they don’t flow into one
@@LanguagesWithJamie Yeah, so on the original demo for Pull Me Under (then called Oliver's Twist... Which actually featured the entire Erotomania solo in it if you can believe it), the song fades out. The band felt this was an unsatisfying way to end the track but never wrote an ending they were happy with. So, Mike Portnoy, who is a massive Beatles fan, took inspiration from the song I Want You (she's so heavy), where they literally took scissors to the tape as it was running and cut it. Kevin Moore was behind this as his lyrics dealt with death being a very sudden and permanent thing. So that's what they did.
Octavarium should be your next Dream Theater track. This is your "Tool: The Grudge" moment. As a Composer, you will LOVE it. Garranteed. You mentioned in the Dance of Eternity video the balance between Orchestral and Metal arrangements can be tricky. Octavarium NAILS it. Keep doing what your doing, see you tomorrow AWLRIGHT!
im not sure if hes ready for 20+ minute songs. if so he has to start with a change of seasons.
Both of those are excellent choices you can't go wrong with either of them. They are both pretty epic masterpieces. 😎
Cotabato um is long but a masterpiece imo
@@loschain2224 he did reptile which was pretty close
My favourite song of all time
Title track is truly a masterpiece. It will alter your perception of the compositional ability of the band. From the Pink Floyd inspired intro to the orchestral crescendo at the end. A truly different experience from what you've heard so far. I can tell by the comments, I'm not alone in recommending it.
I second this!
The isolated bass, guitar, and drum tracks are on youtube and are wild to hear on their own!
Well. There goes my day.
This album was heavily thought out, lots of recurring themes around the numbers 8 and 5, I think each track is in a different key ascending through the album, and each one has a intermissionesque ending that helps guide the change into the next one. I may not be 100% on that so don't quote me, but this is one of my favorite albums of theirs. It's definitely a masterpiece with octavarium being the grand finale that ties it all together, even using samples from the other tracks in the song.
Please listen to octavarium or even the full album of you feel up to it.
Stellar choice.
Keep it up we love you geebz
I think you are right, at least in some manner, about the themes of numbers and something like that, those guys can be really technical and profound. Also, if you listen to the instrumental, you can feel the "panic attack" by the claustrophobic feeling of the harmonies and melodies, the odd time signatures and the changes of speed. This is album is full of this, and don't even need to talk about Octavarium.
What’s cool is the intermissions (I think) are representing the black keys on the keyboard, and the songs themselves are the white keys.
Don’t get me wrong, Mike Mangini is an unreal drummer; BUT, Portnoy has so much character that shines through in his drumming.
Mike Mangini is a machine. A very accurate, fast machine.
And I don't even like him.
he has the groove
Listen to manginis work on the new album
@@bobwest9729 was that directed at me?
Portnoy is also doing backup vocals, and every performance I’ve ever seen he makes it look so effortless. What an absolute beast
What a pick! So many people probably got introduced to Dream Theater around this time, and Panic Attack and Octavarium were rotated around quite a bit when this came out (I remember playing Panic Attack on Rock Band 2 quite frequently!)
I have always loved Petrucci and Portnoy as musicians, and have never had a less than stellar experience with listening to Dream Theater.
Loved this breakdown, and am glad you got around to then again, Geebz.
Keep on rockin'! Awwwwright!
Bro, I love your energy and how you put things across to us! Don't ever change, keep being yourself because it is magnificent!
Mahalo my dude! 🤙
Thank you! 🤙🏼
Love this one. Always thought the part from 9:27-10:07 sounds like it could be straight out of an early years Muse song
I do recall them calling the working title of a Systematic Chaos song (maybe Prophets of War?) something like the "muse song", so clearly they were somewhat inspired by their sound in the mid 2000s.
@@Kipex Mike Portnoy said somewhere that Absolution was one of his favorite albums
@@Kipex I read somewhere that never enough was inspired by hysteria
I want to remember something about several members of the band binging Muse at the time they did Octavarium. I can't remember the details, but it's something along those lines. Makes sense when you hear a bunch of the passages in a few of the tracks on there.
I always thought that too
If you’d like to continue with Dream Theater, I think their song Octavarium is their magnum opus. It’s incredible! It’s a compositional and musical masterpiece, and I’d love to watch you enjoy it. :)
I'd love to hear you do some old school Dream Theater. Things like A Change of Seasons (25 mins long).
There are so many tracks from DT that are epic and I bet you'd love em.
Dream Theater - Space Dye Vest
something different most people don't expect. A real gem of a song.
Hardest song in Rock Band by far
I could never beat that last song during the career. Still haunts me till this day.
Please do Dimmu Borgir "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse"
If it wasn’t for Rock Band and those cheat codes to get the super hard songs while stuck on easy mode, I wouldn’t be in a band now. DT is goat
Geebz - MISTER MISTER "KYRIE" (ua-cam.com/video/9NDjt4FzFWY/v-deo.html)!!! Also... so that's where my whammy bar went...! 😱
Ah, Rock Band 2 nostalgia.
Your energy today is phenomenal! =D great to see, have a nice week.
Thank you - Same to you 🤙🏼
Thanks for a wonderful reaction Geez!!!! This album was from 2005 😊😊. Just a sidebar you hurry up and get better my friend 🤗🤗🤗
Going deep and long. Three Minute Warning by Liquid Tension Experiment. Metal improv sounding like whales? Long song? Yes
Mike Portnoy doesn't get talked about nearly enough. The man has 8 fucking arms and 4 legs.
You definitely have to check out their song The Count of Tuscany.
Oh yes please. One of my personal Top 5 DT songs
The keyboardist Jordan Rudess was accepted into Juilliard School of Music at 9 years old lol
That's sort of the beauty of Dream Theater. All of the musicians are powerhouses in their fields.
Hope you get to listen to Octavarium (title track), for me it's their Magnum Opus, my favorite by them.
Mike Portnoy is still one of my favorites drummers - He always found that nice balance between his "Big 4" influences - Starr, Bonham, Moon & Peart - as the song dictated ... And this is a great example of how he was able to combine the prog technicality with his powerful pound-the-crap out of the kit side. He also (as you may be aware) has done lots of side projects - mostly with Neal Morse - so I hope some Spock's Beard or Neal Morse [Band] stuff eventually makes it on here. Also, in case no one else mentioned it -"Octavarium" was the last album recorded at the legendary Hit Factory in NYC before it was turned into condos, so you're talking about a top notch engineering staff.
The whole album is a masterpiece from start to finish.
My fav DT album but has I walk beside you
Look for drum cam of dream theater song Prophets of War. Just check it out. Don't have to do a video. Pretty cool Portnoy
This was my first DT song that I ever heard.. I’ve been hooked ever since then!!
Now you have to do the next song “Never Enough”
Some albums had connections with bands I recognised their quality of work and talent... And this track as so much "Muse" to it I wonder if it was on purpose...
The title track Octavarium is a must for sure!!!! Just allow yourself some time, as it’s 24 minutes long. But we’ll worth the listen!!!
My favorite DT song. Close second-Constant Motion.
That sequence at the end was actually there by design as it's in the key of C# being in between songs in C and D. The album itself is a cycle from F up the scale to F again and these little interludes are the black keys in the sequence.
Please do revival of darkness by shokran.
Nice. Please do Octavarium next. Its one of the greatest pieces of music IMO.
You keep saying you're going to change your channel when you come back from break. Well, do what you need to do to keep yourself interested, but please don't change TOO much! We kinda like it here already.😏
Love Portnoy's Drumming... Check out the actual recording of this track at 26:54 from Portnoy's Drum Cam during the studio session... ua-cam.com/video/N2xECPhtUxE/v-deo.html
I've been learning Dream Theater songs on bass for 15 years and this is absolutely impossible.
The reason it's so hard is he plays one note on a string and then two notes on a lower string, but he doesn't rake the strings (he uses free strokes)!
I don't know how he uses his ring finger on one string and index + middle on a lower string. Doesn't make sense at all.
Seeing your journey has been amazing! Thank you so so much for being you!
Would be great if you went back to an album like Awake (one of my favorites)... Listen to 6:00 or something. Classic.
Octavarium will be the best reaction
Riverside - Left Out. That is all. :-)
Bass...bass...Bass!
Oh this is going to be great!!! One is my favorites from Dream Theater
Geebz your reactions are great. I love the Insight you bring as an old composer. great breakdowns you give us and I love all the different music you react too. The last year has really sucked and I've found peace in all your reactions so thanks a lot and keep up the good work.
Another brilliant decomposition,thanks Geebz!
Glad you enjoyed it
This song was my introduction to Dream Theater. I was just starting college and the game Rock Band just came out and I was addicted to it. I remember hearing this song and just being blown away. It’s been 13 years and I’m still a big fan.
Like a swiss clock.
On the topic of more obscure bands, I'll recommend Subetroth - "Ungrown Tug".
I remember the first time I listened to dream theater was when I was in middle school actually. I had heard Mike Portnoy play fantastic drums on Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare album after The Rev had passed away in 2009 (RIP Jimmy). Octavarium was a surprising track for sure but 13 year old me wasn't bored by a 24 minute long track. I would definitely recommend The Soulcollecter by Bloodbath (Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth singing) or The Shattered Fortress off Dream Theater's Black Clouds and Silver Linings album.
Try a nightmare to remember!! Or dark eternal night next
Been asking for The Human Abstract - Antebellum since you had like 3k subs. Pull through for me.
Best reaction channel on UA-cam🙏🙏 Can we hear more of The Contortionist??? Causality is my personal favorite from them, or else their language: reimagined sessions are unreal too
Mike portnoy>Mike mangini. Always.
Portnoys creativity, flare, personality, comes through his drumming so well and it's so enjoyable to listen to.
If you ever want to do a super extended show, think about decomposing "De Futura" by Magma you are gonna love the bass and drum interplay.
Any Magma is a worthwhile choice.
@@mposh This is true.
When you change up your format, please, please, please check out Fates Warning. Start with The Light and Shade of Things. You won't be disappointed.
This Godless Endeavor by Nevermore. Give it 30 seconds and you'll know why I keep recommending it very different not math metal just refreshingly unique.
TOSKA, or maybe even Dorje????
UK bands. You may dig it?¿?
As far as 'new' goes, I think you could dive a bit deeper into some of the alt rock/indie scene; i.e. later incubus (dig, black heart inertia), Death cab for cutie, Wet leg, Silversun Pickups (Lazy Eye, The Pit), Cage the Elephant (Back against the Wall, Mess Around, Shake me Down). These bands don't get the attention they deserve, especially from a composition standpoint, minus incubus, but overall I think it would be an interesting way for you to break up some of your other reactions
A gigantic band I discovered some years ago (that has so little views it's sad) and is just incredible is Sun Caged, and their album "The Lotus Effect" is a masterpiece of songwriting, storytelling through music and some Dream Theater into it too.
Great channel, hope to see your new stuff in the future! 😄
"Seamripper" would be ridiculously awesome
How are they gigantic then lol
@@Heatwave9000 "Gigantic" in the way they play, not recognition. They are all great musicians and the compositions are really great imo.
I love DT but! this song? is a copy paste of MUSE, specifically stockholm syndrome song
oh yeah! they're music wizards!!!! haha! if you haven't seen this clip from the channel "loudwire" it's a must see! the keyboard player talks about his way of playing stuff and it's mesmerizing to say the least!!! aaawright! ua-cam.com/video/kCimXv5LzcY/v-deo.html
The tension in this song is sooo high. Harmonic tension that goes away to be replaced by rhythmic tension then to tonal tension and back to harmonic, and it never quite resolves even at the very end. It just keeps building and building, and finally bursts at the last note. Brilliant.
Your insights would be appreciated for Dream Theater's In the Presence of Enemies, pt 1
Geebz you have to listen to Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis. I think you'll love it 🤘
It would be awesome to see your opinion on Devin Townsend, especially "genesis" that guys a really incredible musician. He truly transcends genres and makes incredible music !!
He just reacted to Planet of the Apes!
@@aidenhagler4388 oh yeah, hadn't seen that 👍
If you're going to dib into more obscure stuff, than starting now I'm going to comment every now and than that you should check out Textures! A Dutch metal band that has some great material! Lament of an Icarus, Awake, and Messengers are all great tracks that you could check out! :)
You need to check out An Evening with John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess (guitar and keyboard)
I apologize for random stuff, can you recommend a ventriloquist teacher to help with my voices? Thanks man.
Some bands are obscure and are unknown simply because they suck, being underground doesn't mean they're good musicians
For recording and mixing music, how do those AKG's compare to the Sony MDR-7506's?
Hey mate, i know you probably won't even see this but can i suggest a song for you to decompose, it's an older band that just recently formed back up, you would enjoy it for sure. Conception - Parallel Minds !
Heil Roy Khan🤘🏼
@@jorgengabrielsson6660 Absolute beast of a singer man!
@@vukjovanovicofficial loved him since the early Conseption days🤘🏼🤘🏼
I again humbly request "Rebirth" by Eluveitie.
Next Dream Theater reaction should be Metropolis part 1.
how he reacts! and his reaction where he stops to analyze.. :,D Bruh.. made me feel the sound. xD
Hey Geebz, you need to get your cans some Coldplay - Coloratura :) Some nice Prog from Coldplay!
I remember playing this song on Rock Band for hours on the Xbox 360, it was so hard.
Please, react to "Angra - Upper Levels". Bass and drums will hit you hard
pls react to some new infant annihilaotr, my suggestions are swinaecologist, ov sacrament and sincest, or necropocalypse. They have rlly good musoc
duder check out this one octavision ua-cam.com/video/_z-ZrQPfY5o/v-deo.html oldie nowdays but the flute solo kicks ass
You should really check out Symphony X - Egypt
If you're going for lesser known bands, you have to check out Dog Fashion Disco!
I know you've got many songs to get through, but 2 songs by DT i can wholeheartedly reccomended are: "under a glass moon" and "the glass prison". They've inspired my guitar playing for years!
Ever heard of the band Area? Many consider it one of the best prog-rock bands ever, and the singer Demetrio Stratos is considered one of the best singers of all time. I’d love to see a reaction!
All the best
You gotta hit that early MESSUGAH. Gods of rapture. Killer track.
Liquid tension experiment some of the craziest progressions
Thanks geebz. The Jesus lizard please I am still here Awwlright
This isn’t just a song, it’s a journey
My favourite DT song, do Behemoth "Ov fire and the void" pls! Greetings
It's actually the only track of them I like so far
You should really give the band ATOMSHIP a try. They had one truly awesome album in 2004. I would call them alternative metal or rock maybe depending on the song. Excellent songwriting, good singer and instrumentation plus one of the best drummers I’ve ever heard. Start with the song MOTHRA to get a good all around idea of who they are but the whole album is is full of phenomenal songs!!!
Dream pick right here. This song is amazing. I _love_ that bass intro to death
Yeah it'd be easy to just have the icons for patron and other with text that says "If you want to support, links below"
Geeeeebz!!! You’re so awesome and radd bruh much love :)
Mr. Mister - Kyrie is the song you were referring to? Great breakdown as always!
There’s an isolated bass video of this song on UA-cam.
Aloha! Please do Gorod-Transcendence!
Pues no serás tan buen compositor si no conocías esta canción... Majete
if you're looking for an "obscure" current band, Blood Incantation is a must. Absolutely mind blowing material \m/
Yeah! I would love to see him react to The Giza Power Plant in particular.
This song on expert on rock band 2 is my jam
Yes, I'm old enough to remember Mr. Mister.
Kamelot - Memento Mori
this is a timeless epic masterpiece.
also yhe ending to a 2 album concept based on Goethe's classic literature Faust.
Heil Roy Khan 🤘🏼🤘🏼
they end the song so strange because it's the entry for the next.
Next video pliss react to the Ministry of lost souls 👌
