Dream Theater - Panic Attack + Lyrics

[calceamentum]

This song is unbelievably great. It gives me goose bumps and GAH can repeat it forever.

[hayato1ful]

Justin Beiber play the drums on this song!

[stephensedward2]

@hayato1ful HELL FUCKIN NO.. this song and band is well beyond Justin Beibers swag level.. THIS SONG IS LEGENDARY.?!

[AvengeOrVengeance]

@hayato1ful No. Just no.

[CliffemAll1983]

bout to learn this shit on bass negros!

[CliffemAll1983]

@CliffemAll1983 well, nvm, i dont have a FUCKING 6 string!!

[kingsyder]

i have anxiety and this song is scary to me but its good

[DasWehrmacht666]

@kingsyder LOL what?!

[remy0420]

The transition to the riff in parts 2:20-onwards for about ten seconds is unparalleled in rock. It's one of the best riffs I've ever heard.

[wiggs333]

This.

Is.

Heavy!!!

[TheAyshunDragon]

@wiggs333 If you think this is heavy, YOU DON'T KNOW HEAVY! Awesome song though and if you replaced the 'Heavy" in your comment with "Awesome, Amazeing, incredable etc.' then you have just earned a thumbs up. PM me if you want some of Dream Theaters epics or some really heavy shit.

[wiggs333]

@TheAyshunDragon Ive seen loads of DT videos, and Ill admit that they have some pretty heavy stuff as well, but there is something about the melody abou tthis song, and yet so brutal, that is why I like it so much! But nontheless,

AWESOME,AMAZING, INCREDIBLE! Hope youre satisfied.

[bleh151]

I will like to thank Rock Band 2 for me finding this AWESOME BAND

[glassbelljar]

This song is fucking amazing. I've suffered from panic attacks since I was six years old and I'm now 18. This song is fantastic.

[kutlessrocker23]

First Dream Theater song I ever heard. Guess, Rock Band.

[Nercrophage]

I had some panic attacks in the winter of last year from stress related to school and health issues, and I gotta say this has it dead on... It's super intense with moments where you think its ending and it slows down then hits all over again... I never truly got how amazing this song was until I experienced it lol...

[j0hke]

I love the cool guitar at the beginning. :)

[CMorlandBassist]

@j0hke *bass

[j0hke]

@CMorlandBassist Oh, thanks. I did not know. :) Guitar and Bass sound similar. Or to me I guess.

[CMorlandBassist]

@j0hke yeah sometimes they do sound similar. you can tell though because of John Myung's signature "clankiness"

[ixcaliber]

@j0hke No they don't sound similar. A bass has a bass tone and guitar has more treble typically.

[j0hke]

@ixcaliber I don't listen to enough bass and guitar to know their difference right off the bat. I guess I'll be changing that.

[CliffemAll1983]

@j0hke not too hard to tell, just bass has a thicker deeper tone

[bleh151]

@j0hke That is the bass intro

[j0hke]

@bleh151 Thanks for replying but someone already told me it was a bass.

[minastriss]

What the hell is Rock band???? DT /M\

[marcusclonts2]

@minastriss Wow.... Just wow.

[jhelumjabs]

i think the bass intro is on myung's 6 string bass. is it?

[Zakariah1971]

Crrrrraaaaaap

[megadoomed100]

@Zakariah1971 GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

[FrankoMcToshy]

@Zakariah1971 you need to unmuted it mate, because what i hear its FUCKNG GENIUS!

[LightsOfShadows]

@Zakariah1971 There are other inspiring and creative songs from Dream theater, they do have some lighter stuff you stereotyping unintelligent oblivious prick.

[trevrox2]

Dreamtheater is actually an old band.

[iSomeonex]

I started to like this song when I heard the first 5 seconds

[MrSimonono]

hey it just rolled over to 1 million!

[FoxyTimezSANA]

No 1080 HD for safety

[xXxRUNDMCxXx]

you look so hot

[brianownsall123]

thumbs up if you tried to play along and died

[MrAustindanderson]

physics class in a nutshell

[ixcaliber]

@MrAustindanderson Such an easy course.

[flyingeggrolls]

I'm sorry I'm raping you, repeat button :P

[WeAreUnity]

@flyingeggrolls STOP POKING MEEEEEEEEE!

[WiilItBounce]

DAMN THIS IS GOOD



[LoveThrashMetal666]

the bass in the beginning sounds creepy ..

[Corupshunzz]

holy crap how the hell can you play the drums like that and the guitar!!!! freaking crazy!

[adam1ooo]

@Corupshunzz I can play this up to a point on drums. Just takes patience and practice man.

[cckid566]

never played rock band but it must be a fucking good game if it had this song in it...

[MIKEPORTNOYING]

My sister said this song was bad. So was the smell of her rotting flesh.

[filth69ify1]

yo, sup dude.

[ninjapenguin115]

i always liked prog rock but never heard them till rockband and now theyre one of my favorite bands

[darkmatter83]

i have a panic attack when the song ends

[juan1974mendez]

first time listening to Dream Theater.. never heard of them.. where have i been all this time.. :( Great song,, love the beginning.. 

[Cioara8]

@juan1974mendez dude, it doesn't matter "where have you been all this time." The main thing is you're on the right place now ;)

[juan1974mendez]

@Cioara8 thanx.. :)

[jeg622]

I wonder if this song was influenced by video-game music, some parts sound awfully familiar.... :S

0:30 - 0:48 call me crazy but that sounds like Ridley's theme (Metroid)

[Enzo000000000]

@jeg622 - You crazy ol' fella!

It sure does remind me of Metroid.

[bleh151]

Everyone knows that this song is epic because of the keyboards.... Yes I am a keyboard player

[mrgober0ne]

@bleh151 and the guitar, and the bass, and the drums, and the vocals

[Vvoornth]

I ran this song through my head while I was having a panic attack.......and it helped me to overcome it. Kudos do DT and Rock Band 2

[metalguitarman100]

huh i didnt even know this was on rock band lol

[KyNaStyLe]

Thumbs up if you hate comments like 'thumbs up if...'

[directorc1]

Seriously guys, stop fucking talking bad about rock band. Music games are pretty much extinct these days, but back then they were a real inspiration to many people, myself included. Where I come from there is shitty music galore, and games like RB or GH were the only place I heard good music like this. I'm now in a band playing metal music, and alot of that is thanks to Rock Band.

Stop being so arrogant, just because I heard DT first on Rock Band doesn't make you any better than me.

[GurkorEverywhere]

Shameful that Justin Beiber is a suggestion. This good music is getting invaded by that crappy peice of "music". What is this world even?

[iArianTV]

Is this song in Rockband... didn't even know..

DT is too epic \m/

[adam1ooo]

I don't see the problem with Rock Band. It gets people into new bands and maybe inspires some people to actually pick up an instrument. You don't get extra points for saying "I liked this before rock band" no one cares if you did. Just listen to the music eh?

[firelord699]

@adam1ooo .. You deserve a hug.

[TMNoob3]

@adam1ooo

I picked up bass from rockband about 4 years ago

Now I'm a primarily jazz bassist, which I consider much more challenging

[OllieS216]

@adam1ooo You are exactly right! Rock Band inspired me to pick up the real guitar and I'm loving it. There are just too many hipsters around now a days looking for reasons to make themselves feel better than others.

[MrXboxplaya1]

@adam1ooo FINALLY SOMEONE WHO DOESNT CARE!!!!!

[oloade123]

yo



[Enzo000000000]

@adam1ooo - I couldn't agree more. Without Rock Band, I wouldn't become interested in DT's music at all.

[nomasia2277]

@Enzo000000000 Rock Band/ Guitar Hero got me into music. I'm now the Drum Captain at my school thanks to Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

[Enzo000000000]

@nomasia2277 - I play drums because of RB/GH too. I owe all of my talent to them.

[robertmoses02iscool]

@adam1ooo that's what i was trying to explain to others a couple of days ago, but they just didn't agree with me.

[LawnmowerLobotomy]

@adam1ooo Exactly, I was playing this on rock band yesterday and now i'm getting into dream theatre. Also it inspired me to learn harder songs on drums

[asfarfafar]

@adam1ooo LOL exactly, it's such a silly thing...who cares if you discover a band when the band is new, or 50 years later? xD

[adam1ooo]

@asfarfafar Exactly. I think if you listen to them when the first began or even after they have disbanded the fact that the fanbase grows makes them even better.

[completechaos21]

@adam1ooo I know I pickd up guitar after playing a lot of GHII, but i was never good with it. But then i tried playing bass for my school Jazz band, now im the lead Bassist in the Wildsiders(my schools top jazz band, they are well known too) and i can created this success to guitar hero's failed attempt of guitar picking up.

[adam1ooo]

@completechaos21 I used to do drums when i was in my first year at High School but lost interest due to my teacher being horrible but 2-3 years later i got into Metallica and i got "Guitar Hero Metallica" and i played a lot of drums in that and with the combination of my love for Metallica and playing drums on GHM i eventually started playing drums now i have been playing drums around 2 years now and i honestly say this that GHM helped a lot with basic drumming co-ordination.

[frodijr]

The only song where it is acceptable to play air bass

[SnowyMintFX]

@frodijr that is so true the bass in this song is awesome

[MrSlope52]

This is what keeps me going

[zipzap313]

@Depth8700 LOL

[shibektor]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaa muhahahahahahahahaa

such a mess in my head .... humamamamaauauauauaa

[BADRANG4EVER]

I don´t really suffer from panic attacks but I get stressed out extremely easily, a man who has certain routines and needs and if something goes wrong I start to feel pain in my chest and such..so i can REALLY relate to the lyrics!! and yeah i heard this in rockband and fucking love it...this or constant motion is their best

[VxmikeyxV]

If you think you're cool because you knew this song/DT before Rock Band, you're a metal hipster.

[dopert2]

@VxmikeyxV Ehm, no.

[BlueberryTN5224]

@stealthyfern LOL I cant believe you got 40 morons to like that comment.HAHA I almost gave you a thumbs up for that but i didnt wanna be a moron too.

[KagomeNakamura]

Also if you like DT,you should check out Yngwei Malmsteen.He's one Bad-Ass dude!

[KagomeNakamura]

Dream Theater is probably the most talented band EVER.What they do is pure TALENT,what Justin Bieber/Ke$ha/Lil' Wayne/Beyonce/Lady Gaga and those other dip-shits do,is pure RETARTED-ness.

Your Argument is invalid.

[CuddleShit2]

Fuck Rock Band. My taste in music is what brought me here.

[TJ12Review]

thumbs up if you didn't know it was on RockBand

[JacobJPL]

THIS IS ON ROCK BAND(!) MUST BUY NOW (!)

[HitodamaKyrie]

@hola456comoestas @stealthyfern I liked after rockband, but not from rockband. I found this song through These Walls, which i mostly found because of consequence of Katawa Shoujo. What does that make me?

[Diamondhide1994]

Those with anxiety disorder know exactly what this song is about.

[mexico1629]

Love this fucking song, man! The band rocks!

[MrBreeeezy]

Thumbs up if... gah, fuckit, who cares. It's a song.

[ElectroHouseTunez]

@MrBreeeezy and a fucking good song too!

[MrBreeeezy]

@ElectroHouseTunez Damn right!

[spkiller1]

thumbs up if u just love them

[MyEggIsBoiled]

@spkiller1 Thumbs up for that, and because I knew about this before any dumb ass music game.

[spkiller1]

@MyEggIsBoiled same XD

[MyEggIsBoiled]

@spkiller1 Feels good to beat the masses, eh? :D

[aeselhovedet]

@spkiller1 *cough* Thumbwhore *cough*

[spkiller1]

@aeselhovedet jealous?

[aProxyNation]

I hate that game



[raphaelb94]

thumbs up if you liked it before rock band and still liked it after rock band!

[RiverreidAbook]

this song is fuking a peica of art to me,didnt even no this was on rockband never played that much

[ameat13]

Thumbs up if you don't give a flying fuck about after and before rock band comments and simply scrolled up to enjoy the music.

[wiggs333]

That opening bass riff....AAAAAAAAH

[UnendingEmpire]

(Follow my playlist and find all my comments :D)

Tortured insanity, a smothering hell

Try to escape but to no avail

[MrAustindanderson]

this song is exactly how I feel about physics class

[MrAustindanderson]

thumbs down if you give comments that say "thumbs up if..." a thumbs up

[demonpickleofDOOM]

M0:00RE

[DeadBallz1000]

This song would sound epic for black ops zombies

[themegapkr516]

@DeadBallz1000 absolutely

[DeadBallz1000]

@themegapkr516 so you have a ps3?

[DeadBallz1000]

@DeadBallz1000 do you have a ps3?

[ChrissA20]

my computer exploded after this song finished wtf

[awolfnamedtom1989]

good music is good

[snakebitemaster44]

too damn long for my taste.

[bushboi69]

It doesn't matter how you 'discover' a band, even if it is through rockband or something similar, These sort of platforms help such music reach a far greater audience, hopefully some of those 'gamers' will hear this track, which is awesome, and then go onto listen to more tracks.

[pryvisee]

Beat this song on RB2 for drums on Expert.. Jelly? :3

[TooManyPotatoes420]

@pryvisee

Would you like a cookie?

[Iceh1337]

@pryvisee i have. 98% 400k points :D

[kirbyguy12]

@pryvisee 100% FC buddy. u get no cookie

[K6Mace]

OMG I used to love this song without even knowing who plays it. And then I discovered Dream Theater, and came alive :D

[Depth8700]

Me: Enjoying music:)

*Music Stops*

Me: NO!!!

Youtube: An Error Occured.

Me: Oh, you bastards!

[tinman10104]

I'm proud to say that I was a DT fan prior to Rock Band, but I won't say that it didn't make me happy to see them on there. And us fans that were fans prior to Rock Band care because it's just like every other artist from those games that people hear. "Man, I really love Dream Theater" "Oh yeah, what's your favorite song?" "Panic Attack/Constant Motion/Pull Me Under" "Have you heard As I Am? How about The Root of All Evil? No? Caught In A Web? No? Really? How sad..." Typical convo.

[ISesseriI]

@tinman10104 I really started listening after i found out the Six Degrees of Inner Turbulance was 42 mins long. Then I found everything else

[tinman10104]

@ISesseriI See, that doesn't bother me at all. I hadn't heard a Mastodon song until Rock Band 2, but after I heard it and liked it, I found everything else. But I have been a fan since When Dream And Day Unite even though now I consider that their worst album, but I enjoy James Labrie's voice. Anyways, check out Octavarium the song. It's like 24 minutes of pure orgasm of the ear.

[ISesseriI]

@tinman10104 Oh i did, and when you play the intro with another octavarium playing 5 seconds behind. My God the epic.

[Viibrate]

I could really give a shit who knew this before it was on Rockband.

Why should any of you?

[Emy182bg]

This is my song... this is exactly what i feel...i hope some day i can get over them

[CourageMilk]

Dream Theater is too fucking underrated. But you know what, that's what makes that much better to listen to.

[GuitarAndWow]

@CourageMilk That makes Dream Theater fans like us even more special...Not every person can understand what real music is... I'm proud to be a 13 year old DT fan (listening for 10 years O.o)

[barolol]

@CourageMilk Dream Theater FTW!!

[stealthyfern]

thumbs up if you liked AFTER rock band

[dont6sue4me0]

@stealthyfern What's rock band?

[chopperooo1]

@dont6sue4me0 what country are you in so i can determinate weather you don't have it or if you need to redecorate under your rock.

[dont6sue4me0]

@chopperooo1 It's a joke bro lol

[Vaethicus]

@stealthyfern I shall thumb up both cause I STILL liked after rock band

[MXOY99]

@stealthyfern fuck rock band.... i love the game etc... but it teaches the wrong people about good music

[ProAlbino]

@stealthyfern Are you saying rock band is pure evil to music? If anything, I'd be thanking rock band for introducing people to bands like this. You act like you're entitled for not liking it through a video game. Lololololol.

[VikasMorr]

@ProAlbino Do you know what "after" means?

[ProAlbino]

@VikasMorr Yes, but I suppose I misinterpreted it from meaning because of rock band, to knowing about it after rock band came out.

[Nazuiko]

@stealthyfern This song was on Rock Band? Interesting. Haven't played that game in ages.

[MaximumPayne12]

I suffer of panic attacks and I still listen to this song, is it wrong?

The lyrics are so damn precise...

[OCDKevN]

@thundara32 nice response, I bet if your life has been diminished by panic attacks, you wouldn't think its 'retarded'...

[GeetahrNewb]

5:20 turkey solo

[ChrissA20]

Why is there a dislike button. what idiot puts that on a Dream Theater video

[OCDKevN]

@aquateeno these lyrics are my life... Now I spend my days looking forward to chemically induced numbness, Valium...

[thundara32]

@OCDKevN That's... Retarded...

[DragonForce723]

i have sex to this song

[SeanzyCovers]

<3

[Destroysall]

I love this song, and the cover artwork is mesmerizing!

[JONATHAN24315680]

Good

[tacosrule03]

Props to the bassist you don't get enough credit and you rocked so hard

[MrB0N3SY]

Since some of you are too stupid to realize the obvious: Annoying Sevenfold- I mean, Avenged Sevenfold IS NOT Dream Theater.

Seriously, you might as well compare an aggrotech band to a viking metal band. Comparing bands is like trying to say whether the color blue is more awesome than the number 3.

[ixcaliber]

@MrB0N3SY Well the color blue is at least 50% better than the number 3

[nocturnaltrance95]

@MrB0N3SY i just like both so i don't care :D

[InfamousPillarKid]

haha everybody in a7x especially the rev looked up to dream theater... just saying (btw i'm a dt fan as well as a7x)

[hola456comoestas]

thumbs up if you liked before rock band

[RyanStarcraftProtoss]

@hola456comoestas i hate to say that i did learn about the song though rock band. but its good for the band. cuz now i like most of their other songs aswell :D

[XxPTdrummer7xX]

@hola456comoestas rockband has this song!? O_o

[kaulitzforlife]

@hola456comoestas i have rock band to thank for showing me this song
