I made a video of my classmaes using this song (6:09 - 7:10) and I think I'm getting them more into DT, which is awesome because they are rather unknown in my area. :D
You can watch it on my channel, please! I would really like your oppinions.
@dmdollinar08 cant even spell their name right, pussy. too bad dream theater sells out stadiums, and too bad theyre one of the most influential bands in the world. every member in the band, is one of the best in the world what what they do. mike, legendary drummer. and john is a GOD of men at guitar. he doesnt just do amazing shredding, but he has soul. hes amazing. dream theater gay? please, your idols look up to dream theater. every real musician does. dream theater is music.
Ok i'm just curious how is you tube still up and running when it clearly has copyrighted material (like this song right here) on it. Isn't that the very thing that megaupload was shut down for? (For the record i do not agree with mega upload being shut down nor do i support any of that Sopa/PIPA bullshit i'm just curious)
@HelloFade2 While I do not support PIPA or SOPA, I do have to say that MegaUpload, while useful, and I liked it, they WERE in fact infringing on copyright. And they knew about it, promoted it even. If you noticed, many music artists post their own music under VEVO copyright agreements, and their respective record companies. While yes, you are right, much of youtube is all copyright. I believe some of the loopholes include not being able to download it, (through YouTube anyway).
@15viceandvirtues Mate I feel the same. This album is absolutely mind blowing and I still feel the same amount of love for it as I did the first time!
I never really had a problem with their last album, they had some alright stuff in there. But it must be clear to any listener that they really have raised the bar with this album. Fantastic :)
If anyone wants to buy me some Taco Bell, my typical order is: 1. Chicken Soft Taco WITH guacamole & NO pico sauce (I think I invented this combo and it has been a fave for years) 2. Taco Supreme (Need that crunch on an item and gotta have the sour cream) 3. Either a Burrito Supreme or a Soft Taco Supreme (to round out another soft shell item) I will occasionally throw in a Mexican Pizza or an Enchilada if I am in a situation where I can use a fork (not driving).
mi tema favorito del disco, conciencia social, emociónes, estilo, me encanta sinceramente es uno de mis temas favoritos de la vida y no se xke extrañamente me hace pensar en el amor :S soy muy extraña lo se, pero su sonido me provoca la sensación de estar enamorada xD
Absoulutely the best ever!!!!!! I wanted to do a thousand, but it won't let me. BIG FAN OF DREAM THEATER!!!!! This is the acctual persons account and i think it's to long and i'm not a fan of rock music for of a selena fan!<3 :)
Dream Theater are so underrated. They can stand beside world's greatest bands such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones etc. with absolutely no doubt in their amazing work!
"Tha" is just a lax form, where English-speakers get lazy with the vowels. This works when the following word begins with a consonant, and is usually used in these cases. But if the following word begins with a vowel, one should say the proper "thi" because the lax form isn't well-defined enough. Of course, if one inserts a glottal stop (a break between the two words) rather than flowing the words together, then one can still use the lax form. Singers take liberties in any case. :)
Did Petrucci really write the drum parts and make Mangini follow it note by note on threat of death? I think not. Mangini is probably still getting used to the band. Hopefully, as time goes on, he will feel more comfortable being more creative.
We are a band influenced by Dream Theater. We would appreciate if you listened to our song and maybe left a comment :D Every view means a lot to us! Please don't mark this as spam, we are only trying to spread our music :)
well, ghadafi has been killed, looks like the outcry has been reached! this song really speaks out to the war and oppression that happened over there, i love the line "war to end all wars" and the "cost is buried in the ground" lines, they're so powerful
@Fezek0 When did I ever say that? I'm just saying, they're playing this semi-emotional song which is good and all and SUDDENLY everything stops for 5 minutes of obligatory self-absorption in which Petrucci and Rudess do some crazy theatrics that do nothing but distract from the point of the song until the focus is finally regained. They did it right on Breaking All Illusions where while there still are those obligatory 5mins, the focus is not dramatically shifted.
@MoGaDeX I get your point, but for me, Dream Theater was always like that. My favorite DT song is A Change of Seasons followed closely by Metropolis Pt.1, songs that have "obligatory self-absorption" and "crazy theatrics" thoughout their long and unconventional structures which happens to be exactly why I love this band and these songs so much. Do you know why I don't mind these things you mentioned? Because for me, it's the sound of a group of guys having fun while playing to their best. >>
It never fails. There has always been songs, or albums by my favorite groups, VH/DT, that i hated at first but kept listening and i just love this damn song now. So powerful in many ways. I hated "A rite of passage.": I hated "Jump" and "Why can't this be love" by VH. Now? Ha. Love the damn songs as well as others, too many to mention........Ok, maybe one more. When i read the lyrics to "In the presence of enemies Pt. 2" i thought "what?" but think its their best ever!
@mr198221 Yeah. That happened to me when I listened to the ADTOE album. I disliked it at first, but then, after a few thorough listens I fell in love with it. Now it's my favorite DT album along with IW and Scenes. And I agree with everything you said about Repentance, Nightmare and Octavarium. Sometimes DT "lose" it and keep their songs too damn long, maybe that's why I love this album, songs aren't full of "filler". Could you mention some good VH songs so I can begin listening to them?
@Fezek0 Good VH songs. Too many to mention, but a few are "Light up the sky" "I'm the one" "Unchained" "Push comes to shove" "Right now" "Amsterdam" "Poundcake" "Somebody get me a doctor", so many.
@mr198221 I think you really have to hear how it comes together in the totality of the album to appreciate everything about it. That's why I love DT so much, I love the interconnections they draw between songs and between albums... not to mention the AMAZING music.
@MoGaDeX >> However, I understood what you meant in your second post and honestly I think you have a completely valid and reasonable opinion. The instrumental DOES detract from the overall feel and make the song lose its focus, but they don't do that in every single song they write. Like everything regarding music and other forms of art, it ends up being a matter of taste. As they say, love it or hate it. (Sorry for my english, it's not my mother language)
@Fezek0 Fuck me, an intelligent person on youtube. Yeah, its true, its all a matter of taste. 1st I was kind of angry because I liked where the song was going and it became something completely different in all of 10 seconds. I do get that its kind of their thing to these kind of "interludes" and I guess some of that uniqueness is what makes them have a lot of fans. While I like some of their material myself, I'll admit that some of this is not for me but I can understand why others may like it.
@MoGaDeX Yeah, I saw that you were angry in your first post so then I replied with the same temper, sorry for that. But I wouldn't believe that it is only these interludes that make DT have so many fans. I think it's also that they've covered almost all the moods and styles of rock they could've thought of. You know, happy, dark, epic, power, acoustic, mellow, all that. That way they've come to have a very diverse fanbase, which is something rare in the music industry nowadays.
@MoGaDeX I respect your opinion. You gave an nice explanation for it and backed it up with examples. I think your opinion is completely understandable.
@MoGaDeX "Fuck me, an intelligent person on youtube. Yeah" ...you do know that using this phrase makes you look stupid for many reasons...i m just saying....
DT would have nothing to do with those socialist protesters. They are capitalists, and are making money by producing music. Don't drag DT through the mud by trying to associate them or this song with the dirty hippies at Occupy Wall Street.
the first DT song that grabs my attention after such a fucking very long time. i'm impressed! the ending is really a "dramatic turn". i feel like it's 1992.

Like everything regarding music and other forms of art, it ends up being a matter of taste. As they say, love it or hate it. (Sorry for my english, it's not my mother language)

@Fezek0 Fuck me, an intelligent person on youtube. Yeah, its true, its all a matter of taste. 1st I was kind of angry because I liked where the song was going and it became something completely different in all of 10 seconds. I do get that its kind of their thing to these kind of "interludes" and I guess some of that uniqueness is what makes them have a lot of fans. While I like some of their material myself, I'll admit that some of this is not for me but I can understand why others may like it.

@MoGaDeX Yeah, I saw that you were angry in your first post so then I replied with the same temper, sorry for that. But I wouldn't believe that it is only these interludes that make DT have so many fans. I think it's also that they've covered almost all the moods and styles of rock they could've thought of. You know, happy, dark, epic, power, acoustic, mellow, all that. That way they've come to have a very diverse fanbase, which is something rare in the music industry nowadays.

@MoGaDeX I respect your opinion. You gave an nice explanation for it and backed it up with examples. I think your opinion is completely understandable.

DT is so timely. Notice those 'Occupy Wall Street' protests are going on, and you listen to the lyrics of this? Gotta make you say 'oh shit!'
Love the double bass at 4:01. Sick. Hated this album at first, but damn this shit is brilliant.

DT would have nothing to do with those socialist protesters. They are capitalists, and are making money by producing music. Don't drag DT through the mud by trying to associate them or this song with the dirty hippies at Occupy Wall Street.

the first DT song that grabs my attention after such a fucking very long time. i'm impressed! the ending is really a "dramatic turn". i feel like it's 1992.
