  • Fucking amazing song....The best band in the world

  • I have the feeling that they give the award to foo fighters just to piece metal heads

  • I can no longer get a video of "Dream Theater" and read something about the Foo Fighters can stop now, or prefer to stay until the next year talking about it?

  • This song should be the Theme of EVERYTHING.

  • Live In Bangkok 2012 Yeah !!

  • Finally!!! James got a beard!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • TREMENDO VIDEO¡¡.

    

  • Just enjoy the music !! Someone who really know about music will judge a music from the composition not from the lyrics !!

  • Mike Mangine muitoo feraa!! e A Banda tambem concertezaa!

  • Can't we all just stop fighting about which bands are best and just agree that they are all better than the crap they put on the radio these days?

  • @xFIRERUSHx

    Agreed

  • It really makes me sick to see people on YOUTUBE insult others just because of different beliefs. You're on a music video so why not just enjoy the music instead of attacking each other like immature children.

  • /user/HauntingSkies please check out this band they need the support

  • Uh ok, I came over here cuz of all the people bitching on the foo fighters white limo video. Personally i like white limo more, but everyone is entitled to their own music preference. I honestly came over here and listened to the whole song through and just gotta say it's not my style. I like some older dream theater stuff like home and dance of eternity

  • this is music......

  • Not sure what the hellfire and damnation is all about. I would say that the Athrob needs to cool its jets and not be so hostile. Hey,Throb, Revenge says hello. The Clopsquatch says hello as well. So, if DT was a Christian band, or wrote Christian themed songs, what is you major malfunction? Is that against your interpretation of the music or an atheistic slant from you? Perhaps you should open your mind to the ideas of others instead of attacking the way fans enjoy the incredible music of DT.

  • @clopsquatch Amen.

  • Why say that Dream Theater is a band of Christian influences?

  • the solo stabs right through your soul for good!!!!

  • JAMES LABRIE AND PETRUCCI ARE THE FUCKIN LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!!!

  • 1:27-1:53

    Omg epic part..

  • Por mais que o álbum esteja realmente fantástico, ainda sinto falta do grande Mike Portnoy e suas baquetas mágicas.

    As much as the album is really fantastic, I still miss the great Mike Portnoy and its magic sticks.

  • Minas Tirith rulez !

  • This video has a substancial amounts of likes and few dislikes, DT got a Grammy Nomination for this album, and Mangini is doing a great job covering up for Portnoy... so whats the problem? Don't shoot the messanger, but some people need to get over it. The past is the past and there is nothing anyone can do to change it.

  • @Kid12Ghost

    but u never actually said anything...i was hangin on every word u had n u gave me nothin....ur killin me smallz

  • @xmusicman29x I was talking about Mike leaving the band and how people need to get over it. Make sense?

  • I loved new album.. I ll always love DT music but seriously, wtf is wrong with all those DT music videos, most of them have really bad qualified special effects, like.. some amateurs who can use after effects are making them.. its the only negative part about DT.

  • This is a Masterpiece <3

    I saw dream theater a week ago and it was just stunning!!

  • FCK GENIUS ! 

  • Comment removed

  • dt rules

    

  • Justin Beiber plays drums better than both mike!

  • @hayato1ful Fail troll sighted!

  • @hayato1ful Then clearly a chimp on acid has more intelligence on the subject of drumming than yourself.

  • lmao thought id give them another chance after they rejected mike. but naa. mike made DT special

  • Fuck this religious shit.

  • @AdrenalineThrob apparently someone doesn't know what the lyrics are about...

  • @probester9487 I know what the lyrics about, but I kind of agree with the guy you quoted. I feel like this album relied far too much on using religious imagery and lyrics even if most of the songs are only tangentially related to religion if at all.

    I always knew DT was a religious band but never cared before because it wasn't as in your face. With this album, I feel kind of alienated by them, because it uses religious lyrics and symbolism so heavily.

  • @AdrenalineThrob This song is in no way religious. It's about American politics & how corrupt it's become.

  • @TheBostonRage Ahaha bullshit. Nice half assed 'analysis' attempt. This song is about religion. ANGELS. GOD. HEAVEN. This song is about salvation. It's not about Obama or Bush or Darwin.

  • @AdrenalineThrob If you take it literally. However, the line "Mounting the attack While heroes carry your weight," can refer to how politicians declare war & send others to die for them. "Riding out the wave Content to feed off the machine Bleeding us to death The new American Dream" can refer to the economic crash that this country has suffered. Not to mention the video showing images of corporate buildings, money, the White House, & ruins. There's a thing called "symbolism." Look it up.

  • @TheBostonRage read the bible faggot

  • @AdrenalineThrob That's your response? Seriously? I have read the bible, & it was the worst piece of shit ever written. If you can only respond by calling me a faggot, you really have no argument.

  • @TheBostonRage enjoy hell

  • @AdrenalineThrob I'll be sure to say hi to Satan for you

  • @AdrenalineThrob Where can I find a copy of this book "The Bible Faggot"? Seems like an interesting read.

  • @AdultSwimRules Walmart. Aisle 5. King James version bitch.

  • @AdrenalineThrob Dude, this song is not religious, even as some of DT's work may be influenced by text from the Bible, but it doesn't make DT a christian band. And seriously, calling someone a faggot while telling them to read the bible? You don't understand Dream Theater, and a real man of faith isn't a shit hypocrite like yourself, thinking that Bible-thumping makes you a good person. You and the rest of the Christian community are nobody to preach judgments upon others. Btw, Satan says hi.

  • @AdrenalineThrob actually the angels,god and heaven are metaforas. which JESUS used pretty much too. think you should read your bible/wizardbook whatever that is called nowadays :DD

  • @PeikkoKuningas95 I can't believe you how idiots CAN'T see the obvious religious parallels in this song... Verse 2 is taken almost WORD FOR WORD straight from Ezekiel.

  • @AdrenalineThrob that isn't what anyone here meant. they meant the connection and metafors of that text. and btw bible is for retarded people that are brainwashed since their date of birth.

  • @PeikkoKuningas95 The Bible is the holy law of god. Enjoy hell

  • @AdrenalineThrob bible is just an old book written by perverted men with beards. nothing more. there are similar religions all over the world so it's pretty unlikely, that the words in BIBLE are the true ones. just sayin' because science is the only truth. enjoy wasting your life by BELIEVING and i enjoy mine by KNOWING. thank you

  • @PeikkoKuningas95 If you don't believe in the bible why are you even watching this video???? It's common knowledge to anyone that Dream Theater is a Christian band.... On The Backs of Angels, I Walk Beside You, The Spirit Carries On, Lines In The Sand....I can go on and on and on...these are all Christian songs. If you don't believe then why are you even listening to this??????

  • @AdrenalineThrob do actually think that music is about believing into something?? i like this MUSIC and dont care a fuck about their religions or anything like that. i enjoy the music and dont care about anything else. just like people eat tacos or spagetti even if they are NOT mexican or italians.

  • @AdrenalineThrob and many bands have lyrics from bible, even if they dont believe in wizardry or religious carbage. it just has a very powerful act in our western society that it's easy to write music and lyrics from the bible.

  • @AdrenalineThrob Although Portnoy isnt in the band currently, Mike Portnoy was jewish, would be kinda awkward if they were a "Christian band". Petrucci and Myung are Christians and they draw some lyrical themes from their faith, but they're a prog metal band

  • @AdrenalineThrob They don't have to be christian. That's how you interpret them. I think the band is pretty secular and open minded.

    Lots of people can write lyrics with things like angels in them but there are more than one meaining to those words.

  • @AdrenalineThrob The bible is fiction. Enjoy living in a fairy tale world.

  • @AdrenalineThrob I had no idea that The Bible was the holy law of Rob Halford? I don't see how Rob Halford could condemn homosexuality when he is a homosexual himself. But he does sing for Judas Priest, so The Metal God can do whatever the fuck he wants

  • Still be my idol forever

  • Very gorgeous luxury and powerful

  • This is true modern rock. So epic that it puts a smile on my face.

  • Demais o Dream!!

    Pena que o Portnoy saiu!

  • This is so epic it hurts. Fuck Foo Fighters.

  • SO much better than "White Limo," just saying.

  • Comment removed

  • Let us take a moment of silence for MIKEPONTOY, who has retired his channel. 

  • watch?v=-QtFovp1KOE DREAM THEATER lml

  • just before the video played, there was a Durex commercial playing attached to the vid... and I thought.... what are the lyrics to the song? "Cumming on the backs, of angels destined to create...." :P :P hahahaha

  • you know Im not a Dream Theater's fan, but this drummer make 'em sound diferent, im actualy likeing it I think im Becoming a Fan . allright I'll purchase the album

  • To quote corey taylor! how hard can it be to win a grammy, kelly klarkson has three! So dont give too much attention to where grammys go... And furthermore all you people who hear bands like dream theater know that this kind music doesnt appeal to the majority today because of its complexity. An untrained ear cannot appreciate the complexity of dream theater and thats why it prefers foo fighters who wrote a simple riff and solo song!

  • @13pao13pao13 It's like comparing a snack food to a high class dessert. You can eat snacks mindlessly, because they're addictive by nature. They make reach for more even if you don't want more. But a high class dessert demands that you take a moment to enjoy how complex & satisfying it is. In the end, you'll always think more highly of the high class dessert because it gave you a feeling of true satisfaction. What you had was delicious, & you're glad you had it.

  • By the way, great work Mr. Mangini! Keep it on!

  • @TheBostonRage Grammys are pre-determined to win prizes given by the Failed, Decadent Phonographic Industry, to Pre-Produced, Unnatural and Driven to Success Lab-Produced so-called Artists. Not being indicated nor winning a Grammy is the proof Dream Theter is a Great Band.

  • My science teacher told me about DT a year or two ago and I can't thank him more!

  • Mike Portnoy brought originality and experimental concepts that are no longer relevant in this band anymore. Not every thing that Mike tried worked but it least it wasn't predictable.

  • glad they didn't cut stuff out of this one like they did with constant motion and a rite of passage, those were just really awkward. love this album, it's the perfect blend of prog and metal, this is the sound that i think of when i hear someone say Dream Theater. this is prog metal! anyways, can't wait to get the tab book and start learning and also can't wait to hear what they write with mike mangini contributing

  • Ohh Yeah !!! My Idol Mike Portnoy !!!

    I So Love this Song !!!

    and i from INDONESIAN !!!

  • @DreamerIndonesian mike mangini is playing drums in this song (and video)

  • This song fking rocks, and defines Dream Theater once again. They have become a band to listen to once again!

  • grammy is bullshit!

  • Is Dream Theater christian?

  • @Coliosis5 no.

  • @Coliosis5 they're not a Christian band but i believe most of the members are, Jordan Rudess is jewish but i'm not sure if he practices the religion or not. i've heard that petrucci is catholic, not 100% sure though. either way, their music doesn't speak out against Christianity so I'm good with them

  • Hey guys, wanna know what happens when you leave a critical comment on Thiago Campos' channel? He will delete it and block you. What a coward. Not only is he an unimaginative dickhead, he doesn't even believe in people's right to call him an unimaginative dickhead.

  • @MIKEPORTNOYING A thumbs up rating on any Thiago Campos video is a thumbs up for tyranny and oppression.

  • It´s amazing how 7 minutes build up to the very last minute...

  • great!!!

  • Guys I have a really important question to ask. Why is that I decide 2 upload a few videos of you guys a& they get deleted? How do I get around this, is there something I can add, so it doesn't get removed again? After all it is promotion not only 4 myself but, promoting DREAM THEATER & your official website as well. Yet I see all kinds of movies & full concerts posted & the links r still alive. As 4 the Grammys u guys deserve a category for best progressive band. Thanx 4 your answers & time.

  • It's the Grammy's people. They never choose the true best for their categories. Remember the first Hard Rock/Metal Grammy? Jethro Tull beating out Metallica? I don't have much respect for Metallica after 88, but still, Jethro Tull should not have won. Just like Dream Theater shouldn't have lost to Foo Fighters. Just glad it wasn't Sum 41 who beat them.

  • @jamie30jamer I hate when people say that they should win because their the most technical band, it's not a bands talent that makes them famous it's the choices they make, Wasting Lights has overall better songs, not guitar, not drumming but the final product was amazing.

  • @pkpheanix7 I'm not saying they should have won because of their technicality. The final product from Dream Theater easily beat the Foo Fighters album. I have listened to both, and there are some weaker songs on Wasting Light. (White Limo). A Dramatic Turn Of Events is a strong album from beginning to end with no filler.

  • One of the better things I did on YouTube was to subscribe to Roadrunner recors, they shook me with prog metal all day long, except for nickelback lol

  • Dream Theater is a diamond treasure, and upon discovery becomes a life-enhancing experience in entertainment. Awesome video, and A Dramatic Turn Of Events is a

    musical marvel. Stellar kudos to DT and Thanks JP for an awe-inspiring production, God bless ya.

  • Intro reminds me of Diablo I & II :)

  • @dvonogastonoga YES!!!omg my friend asked me to listen to this song yesterday,first thing that came to mind when hearing the intro was : OMG TRISTRAM THEME SONG FROM D2 lol but wow,amazing song Im seriously amazed by it and somehow I cant help but Imagine somekind of Anime fight going on while this song plays in the back.

  • Amazing Song!!!!

    Dream Theater Rules!!!

  • Wow,how stupid are you guys!DT fans and FF fans sometimes were best friends and now we're fighting because of stupid Grammy?

  • @makakamakaki youre right......

  • Listen guys, I know you're upset about the Grammys, but, honestly, how important are they? They're based on who votes for who, & fans, with very few exceptions (like Cristti), will always vote for their favorite artists. It's a popularity contest, nothing more. If it's not based on actual talent, it's not reliable.

  • @TheBostonRage personally i think it's great that they were there, i knew they wouldn't win but hey they made it there which is a huge step forward. the grammys are just one big commercial anyways

  • @TheBostonRage Yeah it sucks. I kinda hate how most of everything nowadays is a popularity contest. I know some really talented musicians, but they don't get half the acknowledgement some "stars" get. It's a mockery to art and talent imo

  • Adele is pure shit compared to this. Just goes to show far gone humanity has become. And how rigged the Grammys are.

  • You know what i love of this album……THE KEYBOARD TRACKS ARE AWESOME. Well, actually there is a lot of stuff i love from this new album, but the keyboard track is really strong

  • epic song

  • Love DT Here, I'm sometimes critical of Labrie as occasionally he gets drowned out or has an off day, but he is great on this and was amazing at the last gig I went to only a week or so ago!! Best DT Album in years!!!

  • i'm very happy with the lineup change. they couldn't have picked a better drummer, honestly.

  • Yeah why won´t you asshole MIKEPORTNOY get away trolling every Dream Theater song cause I´m getting really tired of it, and those of you who don´t like Mangini, WTF because of he didn´t even compose the fucking drumtrack, it was Petrucci, goddamn, so you really can´t tell which one´s better better by listening to the songs on an album in which he didn´t compose his own part on drums, he did what he was told since that he was new in the band. After the next album you can.

  • FOR FUCK SAKE! seriously!? Both Portnoy and Mangini are brilliant artists!! Personally I prefer Portnoy but noone could've filled the spot better than Mangini! Theyre good friends both very experimental with things and are good at what they do so shut the fuck up, if you dont like the album cus Portnoy aint in it stop searching for this album and sitck with the others.

  • petrucchi is the BOSS!!!!

  • Why you guys always debating something that not important ?? Just watch the video !! *if you're real fans of them* .....

  • I'd rather HIT THE WALL than listen to this Jesus freak crap. Check out ADRENALINE MOB and relegate A Dramatic Turn Of Events to being a beer coaster or perhaps doorstop.

  • @MlKEPORNTOY A QUESTION WHY DO YOU HATE DREAM THEATER?

  • @MlKEPORNTOY Adrenaline Mob is good but nothing compared to Dream Theater, Portnoy just transfered his DT experience into Adrenaline Mob, Their song are made by these 2: Lie/Dark Eternal Night and Zakk Wylde's stuff

  • @DreamTheater1985QL If you tarnish the name Adrenaline Mob any further, I will find you.

  • @AdrenalineThrob sure. fuck adrenaline mob, fuck you, fuck everyone here postin about adrenaline mob.

  • GREAT

  • One of their best videos (no need to lie since that there´s only ´bout 8 made) till

  • I really love the intro clean guitars, a really cool eighties metal sound, Testament-ish, just a shitload of more notes! :P

  • @calixtoyuri and I think you are a great bullshit. Good thing everyone can have different opinions.

  • Dream Theater live @Palaevangelisti Perugia Forzaaaaaaa! ! ! Manca poco !!!

     =)

  • There's a new gang in town. They're tough and tight-knit, and they're not taking any prisoners. Bringing together acclaimed Symphony X singer Russell Allen, former Dream Theater and Avenged Sevenfold drum virtuoso Mike Portnoy, and Sonic Stomp shred extraordinaire Mike Orlando, Adrenaline Mob is a musical mafia of the highest order.

  • Any one else reminded of the tristram theme from Diablo when they heard this?

  • Grammy is just a big bullshit... They think that understand about music, just think! :P

  • Comment removed

  • Petrucci's tone is perfect. just perfect.

  • From Wikipedia:

    When asked about the meaning of On The Backs Of Angels, guitarist John Petrucci replied "It's about niggers. Filthy, looting niggers who pilfer from the white man, and the politicians who enable them to do so."

  • @MlKEPORNTOY lol wtf

  • @simpson1511 get used to it

  • This band has a really relevant pianist, which is very rare..

  • @Auvrith this pianist called Jordan Russes and he was named as the best keyboard in the world.

  • Second one of thier songs I've heard and I really enjoyed it.

  • @techpaia :) good for you man.

  • no se siente la falta de mike portony, manginni es genial batero y logro capturar el espiritu del grupo

  • GABA* If you have never heard of what I'm talking about research it and find out for yourself. The information discovered will help you vastly understand your own consciousness and others.

  • The concept the masses will ever have good taste is a laughable concept. The majority of the population can't comprehend well composed musical art. This has much to do with the fact half the people are GABBA dominant types equating to they generally have little interest as a whole in things of an intellectual nature; for example complex music. Upon realization of this reality none of you who appreciate the finer arts should really care if that art is popular in the eyes of the idiocracy.

  • @indicasativafusion Bravo! Could not state this much better myself. Adding to that, MPAI. If I were forced to live with exclusivity of a catalog of J.S. Bach, I would rejoice in that persecution, and count myself fortunate. Without Bach et al, we would probably not have the pleasure of a Dream Theater, et al. In the words of Joseph II (speaking for the masses) "there are simply too many notes."

  • Whats more worrying about the Grammys is that no ones saying anything about Dream Theater not being up for album of the year?? Thats the award they should've got.

  • Corruption=Grammy

    

  • Now. This "boohoo, DT didn't win the Grammy, the voters are assholes" debate is plain stupid. Ever heard of a thing called opinions? Maybe the voters aren't corporate sellouts, maybe they just liked Foo Fighters more. Plus, DT doesn't need a Grammy, they are amazing anyway. Same goes with Megadeth AND Foo Fighters.

    Yours truly, hardcore DT fan since 2003, big FF fan and occasional Megadeth listener.

  • the grammy voters obviously don't have any ears. this is a masterpiece

  • @jsblaze112

    Grammy voters can't appreciate anything that isn't mainstream. Thank God Dream Theater isn't abandoning their own prog style just to appease the musically tone deaf. As much as I hated their loss they should probably take it as a badge of honor. Keep rocking DT and thumbs up to Mike Mangini. He's doing a heck of a job \m/

  • @xphile77

    Dream Theater is in general going in a more mainstream and accessible metal-esque path now though. Some intros and riff I quickly pass off as being very generic, like the into to Build Me Up And Break Me Down. I just can't hear Dream Theater in that song except for Petrucci doing his usual ostinati.

  • @jsblaze112 It is isn't it? I hated it when I first heard it, then I liked one part, then I liked most of it, and now I'm obsessed with all of it.

  • @jsblaze112 The grammys are rigged and pointless. Adele won Best music video.... need i say more?

  • Foo Fighters is my favorite band. I love them to death, but the Hard Rock category should've been won by Dream Theater. I was not aware of this song, heard it yesterday and now I can't stop listening to it.

  • @Cristti foo fighters is a great bullshit

  • @Cristti You sir are a good example of an open minded honest person.

  • @Cristti listen all the album of dream theater

  • Not the DT I fell in love with all those years ago.. :(

    "Glittering Pirzes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity"

  • Perfect music perfect band

  • perfecto...!!!

  • So, with all of the other specialty categories they have for the Grammys... where is the Metal category?

  • i would kill for that drum set...

  • glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity
