Dream Theater´s Dance of eternity Bass

[mij194]

I love Dream Theater.

[godzillafireman]

Beautiful bass and great playing

[Kazzzzzo]

Great job man!

[644productions]

anyone who nails prog is always awkward as fuh

[maciekc300]

Perfect!

[justforkicks777]

some parts look like it´s sped up :/

[AlbertSuell]

Which bass is that? Looks like a Yamaha...

[bassman7530]

@AlbertSuell You're right, it's a Yamaha RBX6JM. It was John Myung's first signature bass he used while he was endorsing Yamaha.

[AlbertSuell]

@bassman7530

=) I'd like to buy a 5 strings bass, but I don't know what to pick, any suggestions? I love the "precision bass" sound...

[AttitudeCastle]

@AlbertSuell How about the 5 string precision bass? :)

[Kazzzzzo]

@AlbertSuell It is Yamaha, RBX something... The one Myung used to play on Live scenes froma a memory.

[13brotor]

wow, that was incredible! VERY well done!

[siyaktidadim]

haha.. mike portnoy!!!

[PlataniumIdiot]

what a beast

[beeblebrux2112]

Love the cover dude! You even use the Myung custom Yamaha six string. I love the infinity inlay on that thing, it's a beautiful instrument. And it looks like you're putting it to great use. Keep it up

[chivasoft]

Excelente mi estimado, te felicito de los mejores covers que he visto de Dream Theater, una cancion nada facil interpretada de manera muy limpia, digna del mismo Myung

[AttemtpD]

Guys if you like this you will LOVE!! "Black Atom Reign" Search them! They need attention! So Talented! And available on iTunes! :D

[shikicarlo]

Its fucking insane!!

Awesome dude!

[eurasiaunited]

your fingers resemble the tentacles on an octopus. like each hand is an individual octopus.

real good job!

octopus octopus

[gatobassxxx]

bien man, muy buena interpretación!

[TheDidiwolf34]

that's not "the dance of eternity", that's "instrumedley",in the live at Budokan

[zaphod1984]

@TheDidiwolf34 no it's not

[holyshit627]

@TheDidiwolf34 no, actually, it's the dance of eternity.

[caro2282]

men that´s so fucking bad... its sounds like not clean.. turn off the cd and play

[uncinghiale]

very good job man

[DustinShaneYounce]

wow the same bass used also.

[dinoarellano]

estas muy cabrón. Nice job!

[Girigo94]

Any way i could get the tabs for the solo?

[searrg]

ur left hand looks like the white "bass squid" haha excellent job

[zaganbassist]

wich program did you worked to edit the solo part??

[zaganbassist]

wich program do you used to edit your bass solo???

[jgvarner57]

very impressive! why r u in a small bedroom? U should be performing in front of thousands, hope u r in a good band.

[funkyfiend]

chale mi buen no hay necesidad de acelerarla, es cosa de practicarla hasta que salga a la velocidad normal, que te ganas acelerando el video!



[Vicfirth7b]

My Friend, your weeks of intense work paid off in so many its not even funny...amazing..Bravo!!

[cicciodibenedetto18]

oh yeah you'll be the next john myung dude

[maddermofo]

Spot on brother!!!!!!

[Chr1sda4]

You look like Antione Dodson with that bandana.

[Bakazuraz]

Let's see this on Rock Band and see if people still say that bass is easy.

[rsyyjh4n6r7xtygb45bt]

@Bakazuraz What does rockband have to do with how hard this song is on bass?

[Bakazuraz]

@rsyyjh4n6r7xtygb45bt Because traditionally songs on the game are easier to play on the bass than on guitar.

[fepede]

wow! pretty cool! congrats for your amazing technique!

[noob646]

realy nice

[kaylin1001]

The section(s) after the solo look(s) like DEATH. I´m jealous to be honest

[337camo]

dude its so obvious its sped up. did people really believe this?!

[AttitudeCastle]

@337camo How is it obviously sped up?

Also Kudos to you @snxz1983 for playing the faster live version!

[337camo]

@AttitudeCastle I dont know maybe it isnt very obvious...i think it looks unnatural though. if you go to about 4:00 and look at his hands, his face, and other movements seem unnatural. just my opinion though....

[AttitudeCastle]

@337camo It is pretty unnatural, because he is forcing the speed, he can do it, but his muscles and technique aren't 100% up to John Myungs level (who has 10-20 more years or muscle and practise on this guy but this guy is still great!) I couldn't find the exact point but at one bit he shake his left rm, i'd guess to combat the fatigue. Do you play bass/guitar? If so try picking (finger style or with pick depending) as fast as you can and if you keep going till your arm is hot you'll shudder

[337camo]

@AttitudeCastle Hah yea i attempt to play, i'll never be like this guy fake or not. I still find some parts to be odd looking, it could even be his camera iam not sure really.

[XXXkLeCiIj69XXX]

Pianist and bassist Fuck Yea!

[ad0nis6]

man,. seriously. stop. u are fooling yourself. this shit is sped up.

[nekezajebancije]

@ad0nis6 Hah, it's not. I played this song after 2-3 weeks of practice, and BADLY. And he actually had INTENSE practice of this song.

Plus, this performance is not perfect, he really does go faster than the song more than a few times...

[80smetalchild]

mike portnoy plays bass now? XD

[Macckos]

@80smetalchild good one :D

[flipedup]

@80smetalchild watch chaos in progress.. he plays bass in that too... rudess plays guitar.. and shreds and i heard petrucci plays drums.. but have never seen him do so!

[MrPoisonsting]

@80smetalchild Well he actually does in Chaos in Progress xD

[DIMEABBOttRiP]

@80smetalchild If mine portnoy played bass it'd have 14 strings.

and there would be no mistakes .... ever.

[EATMYT8NT]

@80smetalchild Well he did say he would be back in DT! lol

[aquabat104]

this is awesome, my friend had this bass, and tried to sell it to guitar center for 3K..they said no, but he didn't pay anywhere near that

[grayson106]

You're fantastic at playing(as if you needed me to tell you) but if you want to get people interested, you need creative flail and unneccessary facial expressions. But keep up the fantastic work, i'm sure one day you'll own a mansion and the band that wrote this song.

[clockw3rx]

totally crazy man ;) damn good on them crawls ;D

[65656555354]

Amazing bass abilities, dude!

[SuperXguitar]

that bass is beautifull¡

[Stanthekiller123]

man. all in one take as well. damn. Amazing keep it up!

[hereawhile]

What bass is he playing?. anyone?

[guitarx000]

great job bratha!!well done!!

[janjan123456]

@guitarx000

its a yamaha....i think its an rbx series or sounds something like that..that model is used to be john myung's bass before using today's music man.

[Spinguitar]

Nice one

[facePuncher5]

Great music and a sense of humor too! I admire you.

[Copertoni5]

All of us, people who understand music...

we ALL must Bow,applause and give a handshake to Sanchez!

To him and to Dream Theater Themselves!!

It's great that musicians like you still exist! 10\5 stars

Great Job!

[Austinagent1]

Love the bass!

[claudiocluz]

This is a very dificult music of DT! Great job man!

[MrBlack125]

amaing just wish the sound was abit better Amazing work tho man :)

[TheJoryj]

this is great

[swimmerforlife789]

You looked like a fucking robot on your solo!!

[snxz1983]

@swimmerforlife789 I need Tungsten to survive... Tungsten... Tungsteeeeeen!!! xD

[swimmerforlife789]

@snxz1983 That is intense! You, sir, have an amazing bass skill. I have subscribed to you, so I'm hoping for some new video!

[Antalarion]

@snxz1983 Haha :) nice cover

[Dsteve96]

@snxz1983 "They found me in a meteor!"

[RaidonSama]

@SciMasterGeneral: U MAD TRO

@snxz1983: Why, that is positively magician-like! Your fingers were going so fast on that bass solo that it started jumping on my computer. Excellent, my good sir!

[VexusFlytrap]

This aint anything like John Myung!!! You need to flip your hair every now and then! Aside from that huge problem, you did alright.

[lollzz13]

i liek ur door color

[thames21]

Damn, either you are born lucky with those fingers, or you're very experienced. How meny frets can you reach with one hand?

[RAWR3149]

is that a myung bass? 0.o

[TheApplepie131]

this pleases me

[Estremofili]

MUORI!!!!

[AdamSusskind]

The solo blew my mind. Fantastic stuff, keep it up.

[David666Mezei]

good work dude o.o

[kenmju]

cool man (^O^)

[angmar11]

i can do alot but the outro is too hard lool

[lars2012]

Hey people, always remember that Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Experiment's music is only for smart people, so don't care about hater, they just don't have enough IQ to understand it. ;)

And btw great playing and great song you nailed it !

[SciMasterGeneral]

@lars2012 How is DREAM THEATER's worthless, emotionless, bad songwriting for smart people? Dream Theater doesn't have enough IQ to write a good song!

[lars2012]

@SciMasterGeneral I won't waste my time for you.

[R0ADKILL2864]

@SciMasterGeneral Says the guy who likes ACDC

A band that uses the same fucking drum beat for every song

[SciMasterGeneral]

@R0ADKILL2864 And it's a better, more in-the pocket beat than anything Mr. Stiff ass Portnoy could lay down!

[TheGerthax]

@SciMasterGeneral emotionless? have you SEEN mike portnoy? that guess is absolutly crazy with personality. now john myung, yes emotionless. but before you dawg on there song writing feel free to write a more brilliant song then this, then find musicians good enough to play your worthless peace of crap.

[chromakey84]

@TheGerthax collected, calm, not deluded by thought and mental chatter, not emotionless at all... just because you cant see it doesnt mean that it is so.

[TheGerthax]

@chromakey84 ya hes pretty wicked to see on stage. "mr myung do you have anything to say for the fans?........ no?........tahts nice" XD

[SciMasterGeneral]

@TheGerthax I write wat better music than this! Sounds like a fucking video game!

[TheGerthax]

@SciMasterGeneral its called something complex, im sorry your tiny brain cant comprehend 7/8 to a 4/4 then to a 9/8 time signiture. cause its really not that hard. while it is not easy listening yes, its complexity is what makes it beautiful. your really close minded

[TheReallHighROllerM]

@SciMasterGeneral

It kinda does, mainly in part to the fact this doesn't have the best sound quality (he's playing it out loud in the video)

And yeah, write better music and post it. I'd like to see it, tbh.

[chucke1963]

Well if Myung decides to leave DT (heaven forbid), they know who to hire!

[ThriceDog]

@nhonhoplx if that's a signature bass, fuck you. I was going to get one of those then myung stopped using them so he lost the endorsement, fuck buying a musicman for 6000 dollars :(

[joshmc737]

dude sick as helll!!!!!



[solu1234]

nice bass, how much is that? :)

[madeinNorwayAM95]

@solu1234 Its a Yamaha RBXJM1, they dont make them anymore :( Right me if im wrong.. :P

[MrNeyrick]

Dude that was really amazing... congrats !

[onydude]

i bet your neighbors love you :p hehe

[Aisse]

You play very well! But pay more attention to the timing... you are playing a little before of the music timing.

[WpA09]

it looks almost like Myungs bass

[senna01]

@WpA09 What do you mean "almost"? It's the Yamaha RBX6JM, Myung's old signature bass.

[Basska96]

You rock man! Anyway what bass you are using in this video (Sorry for bad english)

[quantum494]

You rule.

[furiouscake]

fucking incredible job, and beautiful bass!

[ER052092]

and to think myung plays 3 hour sets of pure shit like this....their hands and fingers must have personal trainers. good job dude you're awesome btw! 5*

[ER052092]

wow is the bass solo really that fast or is it the camera lagging on my computer...maybe the speed caused the lag haha.

[thraser666]

ohhh my god fucking amazing....i saw it and hurt my fingers!!!!

[WurStGoESCrAzY]

May I ask you since when you're playing bass? thats so amazing, and your making me being envious ;)

[NOBAMAftw]

tits

[300zedxturbo]

Damn dude, well done!

[MightAndMusic]

FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kevenit]

nice work dude ;)

[Nigthtale]

man that song is impossible... and the solo at 3:11 is just too... crazy! you're a really great bass player, thumbs up!

[RandomGuyBlake54]

Marvelous!! How long did it take for you to learn this song?

[LennaertD]

This is sick, just how the hell do u do that.

By the way

How does John Myung comes up with those tabs!

[snowyjnrz]

Holy fuck how talented do you wanna be bro!

[NhonhoPlx]

Amazing, I wonder, how many days you needed to master this song?

[snxz1983]

@NhonhoPlx I dont remember it exactly... it was so much time ago, but I believe that it took me 2 or 3 weeks of intense work. :D

[SciMasterGeneral]

@DestroyUrFuckinLife Shut up dick, can't get chicks playing this music that sounds like a fucking video game. Dream Theater fucking blow! I can express my opinion you destroy your life asshole! Great name douche bag! This dudes got some ability, but his taste is for shit. This piece of music is a pointless; bloated; worthless pile of shit.

[sickeningore]

@SciMasterGeneral I don't think he's playing this and posting on YouTube to get chicks. His rendition was very good, and even though it's natural that not everyone likes this song or Dream Theater, it's still technically challenging and interesting to play.

[HappyDictator]

@SciMasterGeneral lets see you play something thats it not chug chug chug and doesn't have fllippy emo hair

[SciMasterGeneral]

@HappyDictator I don't even know what you are talking about you moron! Flippy emo hair? WTF?

[HappyDictator]

@SciMasterGeneral go listen to your main stream music and talk crap when you can play technical music like this guy

[Israfel93]

el audio quedó un poco mal, pero el cover está mas allá de excelente! ;D

[BoneMachineMUC]

Excellent man

[rogamustaine]

This bass drain your soul !

hahah

[roofvishoek]

I think you are F*ucking awesome!!!!

Tou must be playing in a verry good band... if not, what a shame!!!!!

Cause you should!

[dongcoo96]

dude.. YOU ROCK!

[MrGuitar0492]

you rock men great work!!!

[MeetTheCryptid]

An inspiration my friend.

[buopo]

Holy Pinky 0.o

[Hakkar6993]

That solo was goddamn EPIC. Nice job !

How much time have you played bass for at that time?

[4GreaN2PsykO0]

Do u inject hand steroids? cuz i think thats illegal

[snxz1983]

@4GreaN2PsykO0 busted! xD

[Rocker2254]

Holy Shit! That is some technical playing! Great job man! I am a big Dream Theater fan! Check out my vids!

[Rocker2254]

Holy Shit! That is some technical playing! Great job man! I am a big Dream Theater fan! Check out my vids!

[snxz1983]

@SciMasterGeneral This is your opinion, I enjoy to play this music (and learning it, of course).

[MrEstachio]

@SciMasterGeneral

Lol you obviously don't know that most people here enjoy playing the music we like and we do it for ourselves and the people who want to learn from others, not for chicks..

[SciMasterGeneral]

@SciMasterGeneral But those are not good bass lines my man, just really bad music. And not to be critical, but you are not executing it very well, it looks like the song is kicking your ass when you should be kicking it. You have talent, so do yourself a great service. Go out and buy a bass that rocks, and learn an ACDC song, and play it with the correct feel, you might learn something.

[funnyguy1321]

@SciMasterGeneral Why? This dude probably could play any ACDC song with feeling. This guy probably plays better than the bass player from ACDC. Also, they are different genres. One's classic rock and the other is progressive metal. And Progressive metal is 15x more complex than classic rock. If it looks like the song is kicking our ass, then good. Shows how difficult this type of music is. I could make ACDC my bitch in a day. This kind of music would take me a month. And I like it.

[SciMasterGeneral]

@funnyguy1321 I fully understand everything you say, but the thing you amateurs don't realize is that even Peart and Portnoy couldn't play ACDC if you held a gun to their head. Neither of those dudes have the innate groove and in-the pocket feel of Phil Rudd. Go learn some James Brown tunes or Jaco licks and then get back to me.

[funnyguy1321]

@SciMasterGeneral Troll. I go to Berklee and am actively trying to learn all genres. I love Dream Theater because I love Progressive Metal. But you are trying to tell me that my opinion will only matter if I know Funk tunes or Jazz lines. You are a narrow minded asshole. Learn to respect all genres. Or GTFO.

[SciMasterGeneral]

@funnyguy1321 Yeah I graduated from Berklee an d give seminars at Peabody, what's your point?

[HappyDictator]

@SciMasterGeneral ACDC are easy basslines maybe when you get a 6 string bass in your hand and learn and experiance other genres maybe you''ll grow as a musican rather then being a closed minded fool GTFO

[chaveznieves]

@SciMasterGeneral

for must people the fun in music isn't about getting chicks.

its about becoming immersed in something that you personally find pleasing to the ears. the fun comes from the feeeling of fulfilment you get when you finally master it. just because you dont like it, there are tons of people who love it.

[XRasenX]

@SciMasterGeneral Cause he can take the time :)

[beneaththesovereign]

@SciMasterGeneral If you define dream theater as bad music, there is something wrong with you. They are probably the most talented musicians on the face of the earth. And they don't do their music for the girls. They do it because they love playing music. Music isn't all about the girls and the fame (however that is a nice part) but music is something that is an expression of the mind and soul and people do that it many ways.

[SciMasterGeneral]

@beneaththesovereign Are you listening to yourself? If you think DT is good music, there is something wrong with you. They are not nearly the most talented musicians on Earth. Talented people know how to write a good song. Music isn't all about girls? While that is true, you must never admit it out loud you idiot!

[dbthanatos]

@SciMasterGeneral : Because "Music" is all about chicks. Yeah, I think the dictionary mentions it.

[methane]

@SciMasterGeneral ur dumb

[ntate123]

@SciMasterGeneral If you play the instrument just so you can get chicks and have fun, you have absolutely NO right to bash our music preferences. For a true musician, Dream Theater is the pinnicale of skill and technicallity. Whether you like it or not is your business, but to bash the players themselves is totally inexcusable.

[SciMasterGeneral]

@ntate123 WHY CAN I NOT BASH THEM? I HATE THEIR PLAYING! ESPECIALLY PETRUCCI AND PORTNOY! WATCHING THEM PLAY AND LISTENING TO THE THINGS THEY CHOOSE TO DO MAKE ME CRINGE AND OFFEND ME!

[ntate123]

@SciMasterGeneral Please, drop the caps, okay? If you hate their playing, then you have no right to call yourself a musician. Almost everybody I know, whether they like the music or not, will acknowledge the skill of Dream Theater's players. Its really hard to close this argument because you're a troll, so I'M just going to leave it at that.

[SciMasterGeneral]

@ntate123 Why do I not have the right to call myself a musician if I hate their playing? Whether they have technical skills is not the issue! Just because I drop by every once in a while to lay one of my verbal bombshells on the poor little DT fans does not make me a troll! I spend very little time on-line. PS: Everyone I know hates DT because their music is awful. You are an idiot, and I'm just giong to leave it at that!

[isolateslowfaults]

@SciMasterGeneral Dance of eternity is easily one of the greatest instrumentals in any genre. i dont like alot of DT either, but to insult them on a cover of this song is so flawed i cant even believe it.

[r32blitzbane]

@SciMasterGeneral If you don't like it just don't hear it k? Bashing like this makes you a troll. Apparently musicians don't "hate" other music genres/bands unless it's Justin Bieber.

[thenyappymaker]

@SciMasterGeneral lets see you play like him then!! or play anything.

[SciMasterGeneral]

@thenyappymaker I will post some stuff soon.
