Threshold - Pilot In The Sky Of Dreams

[Modjahed2002]

The most underrated band among prog rock

[24tabura]

All i can say is that I'm sorry we lost another great talent. R.I.P. Mac. You will be missed but not forgotten.

[thundersteel21]

Thx Mac thx threshold....a really talented band that didn't get the attention they deserved. It was not in vain for those who listened. This song changed me and moves me every single time I hear it

[BrisaTube1]

Amazing!!!

[andromedic1]

RIP Mr. Andrew.....

[goeiezooiisdit]

Masterpiece.

[MegaNoobee]

Threshold deserves much more attention!

[MegaNoobee]

RIP i was totally in love with your vocals :(

[dreamvic]

AWESOME SINGER!!! R.I.P. MAN!!!

[annore68]

Thank you for the music. RIP Mac :-((

[Big77Jim]

Why are there not more British prog metal bands?I would have thought this genre would have gone over great in the UK but all we seem to get is neo prog and pop music.

[zombiezombie1977]

30 people thought that ''dislike'' button was for download...if they really don't like this song it means that they are allready dead...:(((

[zombiezombie1977]

:((((((

[JoaoL0pes]

Only today i found out about the sad and chocking news about Mac. One of the best voices i have ever heard. Thank you for the good moments you (and the band) gave me all over the years! Descansa em paz!

[Gazpacho09]

;...((

So sad!

[budokandream]

Only the best die young! That's so sad! RIP

[Fluffypopcicle]

Who has actually listened to Threshold while flying? I just did lol. Most epic flight ever. And of course R.I.P. Mac. What a shame. The music community has lost too many good people in the past couple of years. I'm stll waiiting for a crappy artist to die...

[Amorr666]

Lov3 it

[damillionmalania]

Rock has lost one of it's greatest voices. I felt saddened the day Mac left Threshold and I feel even more sad now knowing we will not hear his mind clash with this super-group again. He remains one of my idols and I wish I could have seen him live. Unfortunally I discovered this group too late. May be rest in peace. He'll be missed but remembered in his works, which still slip into my record player after years and years of heavy use.

[MaggotsInDisguise]

RIP!

[metusaalemi]

R.I.P. Mac. 

[Keyboardist18]

R.I.P. Mac :-<



[CarlosH1982]

I'm trying to express my sadness about Mac's loss but I really can not... I just receive this notice about it, and It is so hard to believe yet. Another great voice, a unique talent has passed away (I still remember the sensation I felt when I knew about Steve Lee's death, that happened no more than a year ago, and actually it's so close to this feeling)... you will be in our thoughts and memories Mac!!!.

Now, go and be the pilot in the sky of dreams!!!

[francismusique]

R.I.P Mac

[TodorChristov]

RIP.... I have been listening to Treshold since I was a student back in the 90's Great band, great music!

[drevilrodrigues]

Only today i Heard of Andrew McDermott Death :SI love all the albums with him on front of Thresolhd, his voice is somehow unique... pleasure to have heard this band in time, before the becoming era of Damian Wilson opnce again with Threshold

rest in peace

[drumius]

This man has been singing this soundtrack to my life for 4 years. Rest in peace Mac.

[chipmunksyndrome]

RIP Mac

[dionysuschrist]

Favourite Thresh/Mac song.

Just stopping by to pay respects: Rest in peace, Mac

[Jarv1178]

RIP Mac

[SLjimbolian]

R.I.P. Mac

[gabriel13296]

Oohh God!! RIP Andrew Mac McDermott

[MegaPedro76]

Rest in peace, Mac. May you be the Pilot in the Sky of Dreams.

[zweetvoeten]

Pfffff it makes me very sad to hear Mac passed away. One of the most beautiful voices in the rock/metalworld. What a terrible news. R.I.P. Mac. I will never stop listening to your voice

[Tingsryd1923]

Rest in peace.

So sad to hear the news...

[Duhitch]

You will be missed, Mac. Rest in peace.Thank you for your incredible music.

[Steelhead1986]

What a tragedy. RIP.

[toxickissduo]

RIP Mac. You will be missed. What a tragic loss. :(

[jmdb1994]

666 videos uploaded? 

[mcufre]

orgasmic mindblowing shit!!!!

[eatyourmumshead]

Good song. Get a hold of Dead Reckoning and listen to the whole version. Gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it.

[ANOLDMANONCRACK]

WHY THE HELL IS TAYLOR SWIFT APPEARING ON THE RECOMMENDED VIDEOS!? GTFO BITCH

[NilReccuring]

BLACK METAL DRUMMER FTW!!! xD

[rogermsw]

@NilReccuring and one hell of a drummer his it. Classic rock's drummer of the year 4 times.

[TitanNerd68]

@NilReccuring I'm normally not this guy, but it's always refreshing to see black metal artists. Hopefully I'll be one someday.

[Kamerian]

This is what progressive rock / metal aspires to be.  Beautiful lyrics and complex melodies that somehow come together and make magic. I love Andy's voice. It's truly unique....very clean, clear and crisp. I really hate that he left Threshold.

[edurasc]

I love those kind of songs with melody's changes every 20 seconds, only great musicians are able to do this in just 3:57...

[MrKindaSux]

he's voice reminds me of Dream theater's James LaBrie

[MrNclaw]

not a bad song but the video is so unfitting makes them look like some shitty mainstream rock band

[SearchWithinDivine]

Top class&talented band! Threshold is amazing!

[SubDural12]

Thumbs up is you think this sounds like "Shadow Gallery"

[cobramaster100]

@SubDural12 it has a lot of the same loops and singing power, they are both great bands.

[remoods]

Wonderful song.....guys, you are great !!!

REMOODS

[NukeX66]

Very sad they shortened the song so heavily. Its 9:47 minuts long normally ;-)

[SexRobotOfDoom]

This song is so familiar to me, where could I have heard it before?

[Metalblowing]

actually the first song I heard from this band ))) and I wan't to say I'm still listening to this great stuff !!! all the albums are unic and I can't understand why they aren not givint solo show out for 100-200.000 thousand stadiums )))

[ThrashMetalGuy]

the band is not that popular but they sure do make great music :)

[balkansk1]

You're telling me there are 29 people who don't deserve their ability to hear?!

[MisterUndead]

I think that people pressed "thumbs down", because there are 6 minutes missing. That's sad. :(

[dionysios1991]

28 people must be retards! This is a brand new masterpiece of heavy metal music! Finally a dfferent band from these mainstream shit

[D4nte87]

@dionysios1991 It's not heavy metal..it's progressive..

[torspo75]

Aina vaan paranee.. :)

[thechainzter]

holy fuck!!!!....i just got goosepops with this song.....

[appleman53]

Beast of a song

[malicorowe]

very goood ^^

[thedustcart]

Shame the singer walked away. He was the best thing about this band.

[evolutionrest]

This guy is whining like a little bitch, I dig Porcupine Tree..I just saw them with Big Elf..I appericate good music..but I'm not buying this shit..it's just completely nutless..you can't just throw a few heavy riffs in a otherwise completly pussified song and thank that it saves face..it does not.

[geront]

Incredible. Had to play it twice. Freaking amazing sound. Strong, rich vocals, melodic and haunting sound, great lyrics, and geez, the band just throws it down, and it gets even better! Not over done, just complex enough to keep me twitching in my seat, and that pounding beat just delivers some thunderous bottom end. I will be listening and find more of this band!

[naykidice]

I seriously like this band and they're now one of my favourites along with Rush, Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree. Just recently got the "Dead Reckoning" CD and I love it, love it, LOVE it!!! I'm trying to find their earlier cds but it's hard. I don't have a credit card so that limits my options quite a lot...

[mattliebl6199]

can somebody give me a list of progressive metal bands from england?

[JustTheThruth]

Nigga drum sounds awesome.

[hellingtyn]

reminds the 80s for some reason, good song btw

[UltraGorillaz]

damn i love threshold!!!

song elusive is awesome!!!

[tafkusbudgan]

this band is more like Shadow Gallery or Spocks Beard IMO

[cyborgninja89]

one word .....GODLY

[123nathy246]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! :D

[vilhelm60]

blade guy!

[fragmentopolis]

Very sophisticated music. I adore this song.

[korntwist1]

what a great band

[Vratig]

Ooooh, I've heard this one on a radio a looong time ago. You just gotta love it. Is it just me, or the singer sounds JUST like James LaBrie?

[Andydude9293]

Not even close..... if you you actually listen to both bands......

[Vratig]

I do listen to both bands... And I'm a singer myself... They just sound so alike to me... :)

[JustTheThruth]

The nigger guy rocks!!!

[Sharron8]

Well well. You obviously dont know any BLACK people, do you? You must know that what you said is an insult. You ought to learn some social skills, and perhaps get some real human friends...and pray that you never meet the 'nigger' guy! He happens to be an ex-boxer, and a very good friend of mine.

[JustTheThruth]

blah blah, shut the fuck up you stupid n00b, i'm just trolling around.

[Sharron8]

'Trolling around'?!' Sounds like racism to me - and learn to spell - T-R-U-T-H. Try trolling about in an educational establishment next time.

[JustTheThruth]

@Sharron8 you're most stupid that i thought, haahahahaha, a nick is something totally irrelevant since it have a personal meaning to the owner. I could use Yustdethrroooth if i would or youRastoopidFATHniiigger (yeah you lol) and that wouldn't be a misspelling mistake you smartguy. You have to learn some internet business, being a n00b is not your fault. (nahh, it's your mother's fault LMAO)...

[Sharron8]

@JustTheThruth : You are too right! The term 'thrush' probably has a lot of personal meaning for you. But seriously, try and get an education- you will raise your self-esteem. You have a couple of accounts on Youtube where you make cowardly racist comments - enough said, i think. The drummers name is Johanne James.

[JustTheThruth]

I don't care the drummer name, he's a nigger. lol

[Maelstrom787]

That's fucked up. He's an amazing drummer.

[JustTheThruth]

@Maelstrom787 did i say he isn't. I'm just saying he's a nigger.

[Diomaeth]

I want to sing like this guy so much :(

[sirsadoldgit]

just try to be you ,, you might turn out better.

but thanks anyway...mac

[grstalikas]

One of the best songs I' ve heard the past 2 years. Excellent work!

[Diomaeth]

These guys are strongly underrestimated.

[SuperSaiyanJoseph]

I concur

[ReBornLive83]

He was awesome! Seen him in Uden (Holland)

[akaius]

Killer sound!

[Snyderman41104]

Just heard of these guys and they're awesome! Since I'm just getting started with them does anyone have any song suggestions? Much appreciated :)

[frehleyscomic]

Yes start with this fantastic album, "Dead Reckoning" and then pick up their Live DVD to see how great they are.

[stanawart]

All of them this band has nearly 0 songs that dont have a catchy hook

[Efishinsea1]

Threshold is AWESOME!!

Great Pop/Metal Prog music..love it!

[queenixa3]

pop/metal?? que definición es esa?

..ajajajjajajajaj

[youskinfan]

Threshold has always reminded me a little of Queen.

[toxickissduo]

Just picked up the album today, sounds amazing so far. The full version of this song is an opus. I don't mind this little edit, but the full version is an incredible 10min journey. Looking forward to discovering more from this great band!!

[toxickissduo]

Just found out how long they've been around. It's shameful that bands like this work hard for years and never get the recognition they deserve. Just proves how stupid the majority of music listeners are.

[howdyfeller]

@toxickissduo The blame falls on the record labels. They promote what they deem "popular or cool" Power metal was replaced by Grunge back in the 90s and has gone downhill since. Negative, whiney dumbed down music is what is promoted, along with gimmicks hot singers other meaningless crap, while REAL talent is no longer considered "money making"

[annore68]

@toxickissduo you are so right!

[toxickissduo]

Holy shit! This is world class music. I can't believe I'm just hearing of this band right now. I must go and buy this album. These guys should be huge. What a great, fresh sound.

1:22 - 2:12 could possibly be the best piece of music I've ever heard!!

[NikolaEON]

@toxickissduo real beauty is that this is a cut version :) for video

[yes90125]

@toxickissduo AGREED!!!

[Bnaikjmnopl]

@toxickissduo The singer MAC left this beautiful band >_< becuz he tought he'd get more money @ another band! PS that band suxxx

[sirsadoldgit]

fuck you you fucking twat he got nothing from threshold

[sirsadoldgit]

if i ever meet you i will fucking rip your head off

[AulPedajas]

@toxickissduo Hi mate! Like you, I also discovered them last year. I have all of their studio albums now. Rock on!

[SpartanLaserCanon]

@toxickissduo Sniff Sniff Fucking Amazing ='D

[Starcruiser81]

@toxickissduo Check out Pagan's Mind, if you haven't already. It took me three years to admit I like PM more than DT...! ;-) A bold statement indeed, which I told them in person in Charlotte a couple years ago, to which their jaws hung open...

[WarlordXVII]

Well, they are both classified as progressive metal, but that is where similarities end(in my opinion). Threshold has their own, distinctive style that sets them apart from other bands, and so does Dream Theater.

[arpegiosamistikus]

Video reminds me of some Rene Magritte's paintings:)

[swolocz07]

fuck this edit actually

fuck the idea of making a song 2,5 times short than it is originally

[swolocz07]

i meant shorter of course.

[BlazeReborn2]

You really do expect them to release a 9 minute-long single?

Laf.

[swolocz07]

well The Mars Volta did make a 10-minute video for a 7-minute Goliath. And yeah, I really did hope they wouldn't cut the song that cruelly.

[nemmigirl5]

These guys are amazing. I went to see them last night and they are such a great bunch of guys :) They are so much better with Damian

[keiichiyamada]

Man they really gutted this song for the radio edit, that kinda sucks.

[ox991]

It's a shame that they cannot put the whole almost 10 min song in the video. Like Greensmurf said, they cut all the best parts out. Great song from a great album.

[MasterCheifn343]

yeah, but it's a good video none the less

[DeathToNewbie]

They sure did, I love the part where the lyrics are;

"Get me back down, I lost my way and I want to be grounded

Get me back down, I lost my wing, falling on the storm!"

[kevinquet81]

I love that song! it's great

[Petruccinho]

Then go sleep if you don´t like it.

[rubendrakkar]

MAC ruls man. . . I wish I could hear a combination between MAC and Damian Wilson BOTH are AWESOME

[plokijufr]

good song but the drumer look like Darrius in Mortal Kombat

[DexelBDX]

cutted version never make justice to full ones.

[Greensmurf]

I have to agree in this case. It's a good video, but they cut out all the best parts

[DTismajesty]

I have to say I share his surprise, though I think its nice to see an African American with an appreciation of good music, with rap and hip hop being more popular.

[Greensmurf]

While that is a compliment, I'd just have to point out that he's not American. Threshold come from the UK

[vaporarrow]

Check out Tony Macalpine, a black neoclassical fusion guitarist who also happens to be a classically trained pianist.

[fromdusttogold]

Just checked out SWAMPFREAKS Mac`s back!!! Missed his Energy, Power and ofcourse his VOICE!!!

[MasterCheifn343]

you sure about that?

[returnofsonofgod]

about what?

[SIRledzeppelin]

keyboard warriors with web courage

[MasterCheifn343]

what?

[LEONIBAS]

I can't but just agree with you all! Damian Wilson is such a charismatic vocalist but Mac... Jesus! he is so fuckin' GREAT! His voice is so unique and so special! He is amazing. Too bad he left Threshold..

[heedsdoon]

If you like MAC'S voice, check his new band out SWAMPFREAKS. Just found it on youtube and it's class.

[LEONIBAS]

I checked one song, monkey in her bed, but it didn't sound that good. I' ll try to find more material thought! Thanx mate!

[fromdusttogold]

I think it`s great that he`s with SWAMPFREAKS and doing what he does best... he should have left threshold much earlier, if you happen to comment on their site and only a junior member your comment gets taken off??? SO GOOD LUCK SWAMPFREAKS!!!

[Estefano80]

A great great song! But, as it has been said before, it's strange to know that Damien Wilson is now playing it, even if we all know he's a great singer too! Mac has a real unique and special tone...

[yuna1602]

great song ! one of my favs !!!

[robin7kurdo]

I can't believe. Three different singers and every one has his different style. But when anyother sing a song from other singer, it's no nice to hear... Is sad, it's remember another disc of the band...

[avengedsevenfoldsam]

really similar to dream theater arent they?

[caritosm]

of crs not

[avengedsevenfoldsam]

of course yes

[Darkblood189]

I wouldnn't say so, but they are progressive. In no way do see any resembelence to DT though. When I listen to this band I hear a song. When I listen to DT, I hear something more, like a work of art. If that makes any sense. lol

[santyrush]

muy buenos, tremenda musica,me gusta mucho la voz,el cantante....I like his voice,music,etc,...I hope that will play here in Madrid next time..!!!

[mamlasu]

Threshold makes wonderful music and they have recorded a few real masterpieces... this is one of them, maybe with Mission Profile my favourite

[doarner]

stupid racist that 666Bae666:

first, "negro" is an offensive word, the correct one is afro (and the nationality, like american or italian) [if im wrong im open to suggestions].

second, what if he's playing metal? ANYONE with talent can play anything he or she wants, even if is metal, doesnt matter the skin color.

[avengedsevenfoldsam]

u are correct u are LEGIT

[darfunkelidas]

lol, a redneck who has a computer xD

[666Bae666]

who x) ?

[sephirothweapon]

Not my style.

[Animelovahr]

They've cut away so much sweetness -_-

[RPZ500]

The Peel - Kingston on Thames, 09/05/09.

Get down there and maybe this band will play more dates in the UK !!!

[lapicki51]

I thought it was Porcupine Tree.Excellent song.

[MisterUndead]

The song kicks ass, no question, but I prefer the 10 minutes version.

[yes90125]

@MisterUndead the 10 min version is mind Blowing!! CHEERS!

[Ibanezrj]

beautiful song!

[MasterCheifn343]

The drummer's a badass

[caritosm]

sweet lyrics..omg almost make me cry

[RPZ500]

This band are a hidden gem, if you haven't done so already rush out and buy every album they have released..... you wont regret it !

Hopefully they get a new vocalist so they can continue to make more albums!!!
