i get a perverse joy out of reading the ego-laden flame-fests on many guitar-oriented videos, perhaps because i see the puniness of the human ego laid bare? regardless, diggin' the piece. crunchy squishy guitar, wicked drumming and some real organ sounds ( or a real sounding keyboard organ) , classy ending too
If anyone is wondering what the word "erotomania" actually means (no, they did not make it up!), it means insatiable lust; and more specifically, thinking that someone in a higher social class than you is in love you with you. Interesting, no?
I don't know why Myung gets picked on; he's an awesome bass player who also happens to be really quiet. His part in the fake "Why Kevin Moore Left Dream Theater" interview on YouTube is hilarious, though!
@nikolas99t Nikolas FUCK YOU AND YOUR BAND TOGETHER..I KNOW YOU YOU FUCKIN NERDS...BUT IF YOU GOT A PROBLEM YOU CAN COME HERE AND TELL IT TO MY FACE YOU FUCKING PUSSY..
recuerdo que esta fue una de las primeras bandas de metal que escuche, en ese entonces tendría 5 años mas o menos, que nostalgia volver a escuchar esta cancion.
@dreamtheater142 i agree! most of us who complain about the video-audio quality should do us a favor, buy the CD or mp3 (legal download) and get the audio or video the way it's suposed to be.
@dreamtheater142 Yes I have one. Why post videos to feel like a normal man where a normal man wouldn't sit on a computer wasting their time posting this?
@dreamtheater142 It's not a fight. I respect your humour but still what would you gain from posting this in the first place? (answer correctly this time)
@nokroblosho listen to you, demanding a correct answer. he gains nothing, just trying to let people like you come listen to a cool song when they dont feel like rummaging around for a cd
@c9castine good one. I like how they're treating dreamtheater142 like the bad guy here cause his uploaded song isn't top-of-the-line quality and feel the need to attack him for that. These guys should just upload their own version if the quality bothers them that much.
@extant11 I have very decent speakers, it's more like B. And my God, the guy who uploaded this and commented telling me to buy the album got all those likes... I'm going to have to buy it a second time because Space Dye Vest got fucked up. =/
@MegaMrDT actually he is right this is the first part of a mind beside itself with "Voices" and "The Silent Man" being the second and third parts respectively.
of course is a joke xD Dream Theater aren't my genre favourite (thrash metal) but this song is totally amazing. Progressive Metal is amzaing, and Dream Theater too \m/
@TheBigjon1213 Rolling Stone Magazine is pure shit man. They don't know fuck about music. All they care for is tendency. When I read the idiotic stuff they write I can't avoid reminding myself what Zappa used to say about them : "Fuck yourself with a copy of Rolling Stone/Or are they too holy for your holiest of holes/Now those people think they're holier than Moses/But aren't they just a bunch of fuckin' posers"
@SirXander I agree. They like to play it safe too and just list the icons because most people who read it don't know much about music either and when they see names like Led Zeppelin or Jimi Hendrix, they aren't able to disagree because they don't know enough. Totally agree with Zappa. Metal Hammer isn't that much better, I used to think it was a legit magazine until I seen one of their Top 100 were Pearl Jam's debut album to be better than Megadeth's Rust in Piece, couldn't believe my eyes
@TheBigjon1213 They must be on some really bad crack, or simply like to listen to Limp Bizkit ... I can't imagine how someone that pretends to be music journo don't understand DT ... but I guess that's why Rolling Stone are in my NO list.
Images and Words and 6DoIT are considered to be their best albums and I think they're both fantastic, but I also think Octavarium, Systematic Chaos, and Train of Thought are underrated. Awake is also good, and I'm still listening through Black Clouds and Silver Linings and Metropolis II. Couldn't really get into WD&DU and haven't listened to Falling Into Infinity yet, though.
Erotomania” by Dream Theater, which is from the album “Awake,” is a great example of the complexity possible in progressive metal instrumentals. One of the highlights is an incredible guitar solo by John Petrucci.
I have been sitting in front of my computer, trying to find something worthy enough to type as a comment to express my feelings about this song, and album. I just can't find what to say, but I am sure that many people can understand how I feel right now. This feeling has no other equal.
