I can't believe I stumbled on this. I thought I was crazy with these two polar opposite bands (and vocalists) being my two favorites, and here they are together complementing each other's records. When "Fortress" and "Dream Theater" came out within that close of a time frame of eachother, it was like Christmas. This is beautiful!
Myles is actually not bad at talking to the crowd. Even though he is an amazing musician is so humble and when he talks to the audience he actually "sound real".
Both albums were amazing, both bands are great, and this video is awesome! I think that "Fortress" is AB's best album to date; it has a lot of prog elements, which I, as a DT fan, really appreciate.
Love both these guys. Cool singers and really down to earth guys. Met James on a meet and greet and behind the amazing Portnoy he was the one that made most effort- thought he was very amenable to the fans.
LOVE Alter Bridge! Dream Theater aren't really my thing but they are very talented at what they do, James seems like a really nice guy! Myles is just cool as fuck as always :')
Wow, I never knew James felt awkward about speaking in between songs! That was interesting to learn. Wish I could tell him we don't care what he says, we just cheer cuz he's talking to us! Lol! Actually he usually is pretty funny :)
for me, I love Dream Theater and Alter Bridge. They are in my top 5 favorite bands of all time. To say one band is better than the other is just ridiculous cause I like them the same but in different ways, for me personally, I'd say myles kennedy I like more, although James in his prime was equally as good. Instrumentally, I love both, but I'm sorry, Mark Tremonti is nowhere as good as John Petrucci. Dream theater is creative and kinda all over the place, whereas Alter Bridge is more simple but catchy as hell. Not a single song I dislike from either band. They should definitely tour together though. That'd be a dream come true!
Awesome assessment of both bands. I agree with everything you said. They are my two favourite bands of all time. And I'd love to see a co-headlining tour of both bands! I think I'd just wet my pants if that actually happened though ahah Anyway, I'm seeing DT for the first time in three days time! I bought VIP Meet & Greet tickets, so it should be amazing! I've been lucky enough to see Alter Bridge four times already and managed to get to meet Mark. Hopefully I'll get to meet Myles one day as well :D
IMO Tremonti is just as good as JP or he's better. At leads they are on a same level, but rhythm wise Tremonti wins. He was named as the Guitarist of the decade too. The thing is Mark Tremonti doesn't try to be technical like JP always because songwriting is his first thing.
No Myles.... you guys aren't in kindergarten compared to Dream Theater.... you don't give yourselves enough credit. 6th grade at least....maybe even junior high. ;) JK... Alter Bridge is pretty awesome too. In fact, probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite band right now.... after DT of course.
For me Alter Bridge are number 1 and Dream Theater are a close second. Obviously DT are the far more technically advanced and progressive of the two bands, but I just really appreciate the "tightness" of Alter Bridge's music. Anyway, good to see that lots of people can appreciate both bands simultaneously. I'll agree with your assessment that Alter Bridge are at least in junior high haha
I agree that DT are a very genius band! But Alter Bridge are also very talented. I am not trying to compare them in any way, as they are obviously very different. Just stating why I really love both bands :)
WTF?!?!? How can a Uber-imaginative band like DT not come up with an album title!?!?!? I just don't get it. (I Hate self-titled albums. Pitiful.) (I'm a fan of both bands so don't give me any crap.)
(haven't watched video, but..) You don't think it could be a marketing ploy to engage fans? It also might be they have lots of ideas but cannot agree on one.. (and what they choose to share on public video may or may not resemble the truth in part or its entirety)
axlrosea675 I hope you're kidding... James suffered of a throat problem for years and despite of that he just continued and the guys on DT gave him that chance. Nowadays, his voice is back and better than ever... besides, singing on top of what those wackos write is quite the job...!!! I love DT BTW.

+Stirling Ogden Fully agree. Two of my favorite bands!
Im a fan of both bands and this was awesome to see! now im waiting for Tremonti and Petrucci Inteview and both bands touring together :)
Myles is actually not bad at talking to the crowd. Even though he is an amazing musician is so humble and when he talks to the audience he actually "sound real".
"Myles Kennedy of Dream Theater" is what I would love to hear - best instrumentalists and best singer
My 2 favourite singers!
Both albums were amazing, both bands are great, and this video is awesome! I think that "Fortress" is AB's best album to date; it has a lot of prog elements, which I, as a DT fan, really appreciate.
My two favourite bands of the moment...how cool to get them both together for a chat!
I love Alter Bridge and Dream Theater ❤
probably would have been easier to play a DT song once for the whole video than the same AB song 3 times lol
I would love to see more of these!
Never seen an interview with James LaBrie before, what a lovely chap. Great interview!
At last, my dreams come true to see both of them even just talking not singing :D
but when James talk in concert is amazing! so entertaining and amazing
these two bands HAVE to tour together!!!!!
Love both these guys. Cool singers and really down to earth guys. Met James on a meet and greet and behind the amazing Portnoy he was the one that made most effort- thought he was very amenable to the fans.
So happy to have tickets to both of these legendary bands (3rd time seeing AB) role on October 16th and February 14th
I'd love to hear Myles cover some DT songs
LOVE Alter Bridge! Dream Theater aren't really my thing but they are very talented at what they do, James seems like a really nice guy! Myles is just cool as fuck as always :')
I definitely want to see the bloopers reel for this.....
It wpuld be great if both bands made something together...
Cool interview. I like both bands a lot. AB's new CD is very good. DT CD is ok, but James's new solo CD sounds amazing. IMO .
Labrie really likes talking, what a cool dude.
Two favourite bands of all time
I'm in that happy medium of being able to love both bands : 3
2 favorite Bands. Since Portnoy left i like Alter Bridge even more.
He's not just A Canadian.....he's THE Canadian :-)
Is James from Canada or Minnesota? He kinda has that accent.
Myles kennedy: " ....after listening your record( Labrie)...I felt in kindergarden" hahaha hilarius!
Wow, I never knew James felt awkward about speaking in between songs! That was interesting to learn. Wish I could tell him we don't care what he says, we just cheer cuz he's talking to us! Lol! Actually he usually is pretty funny :)

Elliot Cameron Dream Theater is genious group!!! Alter Bridge is only a very good band. Don´t compare a Great Progressive Band!!!
I agree that DT are a very genius band! But Alter Bridge are also very talented. I am not trying to compare them in any way, as they are obviously very different. Just stating why I really love both bands :)
Train of Thought is the better between those two. But Images and Words is best!
The Best DT album is Metropolis Part 2. Is the best album of all Metal Progressive!!!
if this means ABV will be on heavy Dream Theater influences I'm gonna lose my shit.
Hey roadrunner why play just alterbridge in the background the whole time?
He's Canadian :)
6: 25 hahaah ohh yes it's so funny xD
You so pretty
how bout alter bridge having a keyboardist?? just a suggestion....both bands are great.....but i like progressive
HE?S NOT MYLES... HE'S THOR !!!
WTF?!?!? How can a Uber-imaginative band like DT not come up with an album title!?!?!? I just don't get it. (I Hate self-titled albums. Pitiful.) (I'm a fan of both bands so don't give me any crap.)

Judd Rizzo that's the whole joke right! :p I adore Alter Bridge and I like DT so let's indeed skipp the crap :p
Wow, Ratt is on Roadrunner, how funny is that?
Chris Farley lolz!😉
is Myles Kennedy the secret father of Casey Stoner and the secret son of Kevin Bacon???
I think every human being is so
Aleatoriac boring
These interviews have been really cool. I never realized how much of a goofball James was.
oh Great......James LaBrie had to save his respect and so he joined Alter Bridge for a second or two
Is it just me or does James look kinda like Axl Rose right now
Nah axel's fat
Myles >>>>>>> LaBrie
RIP Chris Farley /watch?v=lFKCM0u99II
(interview with Paul McCartney)
Canadians gathering
those guy's are bipolars!
Myles is the only good singer i see here
+sebastian acuña how about getting a eye surgery and then you need a ear surgery.
nop man, i dont need that
James is good Myles is great.
ab is musically not quite as good as dt, but myles is so much better and more sympathetic than stupid labrie.
axlrosea675 I hope you're kidding... James suffered of a throat problem for years and despite of that he just continued and the guys on DT gave him that chance. Nowadays, his voice is back and better than ever... besides, singing on top of what those wackos write is quite the job...!!! I love DT BTW.
Kleyver Requena
i like dt as well, i still think labrie is worse than myles
So this is personal, Ok. I'll give you that
Myles is a seriously feminine looking man.
