Dream Theater - Honor Thy Father + Lyrics

[mdgeddie]

this intro is like getting trampled by a pack of pissed off rhinos. Love it

[irocklakai]

We need eight condoms and a time machine.

[gesdeath132]

Best part from 0:00 to 10:12 and worst 10:13

[N4RUT0SUB]

7 People crossed the crooked step

[Satriani0101]

My balls have holes in them thanks to the terrific double bass drumming!

[metalrockrt]

Por algo Mike Portnoy es el mejor baterista /,,/

[renoldpartogi]

i can't wait to see whether Mangini is capable to play THAT intro perfectly :D

[MrSebastianEngel]

@renoldpartogi - Search for Mike Mangini copenhagen drum solo - I think he is capable of pulling it off.

[renoldpartogi]

@MrSebastianEngel thx for the info, mate :)

[givemeajackson]

@renoldpartogi he is. technically there are few things impossible for that guy, he's a monster!

[jaipipor]

@renoldpartogi Mangini plays the intro with one hand.

[samboy1288]

the cool thing about this song is, the part after he says "DONT CROSS THE CROOKED STEP" feels kinda thrown in, but the transition between the end of the middle section back to the main song is absolutely seamless

[MatiRattlehead]

DON'T CROSS THE CROOKED STEP!!!!!!!!!!!

[87ponca]

5:01 i died

[matthieuim]

Labrie could totally take up rap :P Imagine that, progressive rap :D (is that even possible?? or is that an oxymoron??)

[CompulsiveDesigns]

@matthieuim

If you were to put a limit on prog, it wouldn't really be progressive now would it? :p

[themkrr]

omg i forgot how i love the keyboard solo in this song.

[themkrr]

Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet

Don't you see respect is not a one way street

Blaming everyone for all that you've done wrong

I'll get my peace of mind when you hear this song

AWESOME!

[A7xEmma]

Don't cross the crooked step!

[MegaCrusher99]

Just imagine this type of song with Dragonball Z? Fucking sic ass video it would be and still love this song!

[filmmanager5]

@MegaCrusher99 no...just no -.-'

[MXOY99]

@MegaCrusher99 definently no sorry :/ it suits Overgrowth though

[MaximumPayne12]

@MegaCrusher99 Nice fail...

[Scratch47]

Full of such naked seething aggression. Painful to listen to actually.

[CynicalBrony]

@Scratch47 Believe me, Dream Theater's music isn't usually this.....angsty. If you like good prog metal, you might like their newest album. A Dramatic Turn Of Events.

[Scratch47]

@CynicalBrony I'm quite the DT fan. I do LOVE this track, it just really hit home very hard last night in a blunt and confrontational way. The new album has some equally emotionally raw moments in my opinion, and is what makes the album such a good listen. Now, if you want something REALLY raw, try 'Through Silver In Blood' by Neurosis, or 'Dreaming Neon Black' by Nevermore. Those two are just totally devastating throughout, cannot stress that enough.

[givemeajackson]

@Scratch47 obsidian conspiracy and river dragon has come are better nevermore songs imo. thx for the input, i think i'll listen to some nevermore now. havnt done this for quite a while, shame on me xD

[pigsandsheep]

@Scratch47 mute button is there

[Scratch47]

@pigsandsheep And why would I want to do such a thing? ;)

[CynicalBrony]

That rapping is so cheesy...

[pigsandsheep]

@CynicalBrony rapping? lul wut?

[Jennifisss]

Beginning sounds like Welcome To The Family.

[metalmonkey007888]

@Jennifisss Its the other way around :) Welcome to the family sounds like this

[Areufrikkinkidding]

Lyrics by Mike Portnoy...

However, drums also by Mike Portnoy.



[duke1497]

Yep.... I can totally relate to this song

To my soon to be ex stepfather... FUCK YOU!!!!

I HOPE YOU DIE, COCKSUCKER!!!!

anyone else feel the way I do?

[MattLloydShredder]

DON'T CROSS THE CROOKED STEP.

[sammiful1]

Their drummer is so fucking sick.



[QcatDoesGames]

@sammiful1 Ex-drummer*

[83MTHO]

1:47 is where this song MINDBLAST YOU

[Complex0maxim]

Honor thy father & The glass prison are still after many years two of the sickest pieces of musical art i know!

[JumpingBalrog]

is it me or the keyboard is missing in this? you have to listen the live version of this, keyboard all over!!

[edge55x2]

I wish I could send this to my dad, with a little red bow on it.......and my step dad, both of them.

[qtipbluedog]

@edge55x2 You do realize that Portnoy wrote this about himself right?

[edge55x2]

Does that mean I can't relate to it in my own why?....Or, put my own spin on it?.....Or, have my own interpretation?.......But no, I didn't know that. You mean HE'S the asshole dad?!?!?!?

[qtipbluedog]

@edge55x2 Not at all you can do whatever you like, but actually it was written from the perspective of the step father and Mike was criticizing himself for not being more grateful for what he was given. Yeah I totally thought this was about the dad until I heard that. And obviously a lot of people get the same impression. Maybe it was written with double meaning behind it

[edge55x2]

@qtipbluedog Maybe.

[18je1]

@qtipbluedog im pretty sure i heard its about his step dad

[Cynnicio]

@qtipbluedog Uhh, no he didn't. He wrote it about his step father and it's blatantly obvious within the first few verses.

[nanoload]

2 people are FUCKING BLIND TO THE DAMAGE HE HAS DONE!!

[greatorder]

@nanoload *the damage they have done.

alsom I hate people that do your kind of comment, they need originality.

[MetalOnPiano]

The riff at 5:02 made my face explode. The fact that I'm currently typing this is a miracle in itself.

[reycomution]

dream theater los mejores por siempre

[canerfilinte]

03:38 - 03:49 portnoy, and his hatred feelings

[MrFlopz]

6:03 sounds like an intense movie preview!

[slayermanbob]

Am I the only person who's favorite part is "How can you ever sleep a wink at night?" Not just the line, like, that particular musical part in general.

[ClassicalGuitarRulez]

I'LL GET MY PEACE OF MIND WHEN YOU'LL HEAR THIS SONG!

[Kain1333]

the drummers name is mike portnay dumbfuck

[stupidretard10]

@Kain1333  nope its portnoy

[swatdaman]

@Kain1333 Portnoy* dipshit

[lutherdageek]

@Kain1333 NO..REGRET

[MarianOctavarium]

This is the best Jordan Rudess solo by far !

[g3rrar1]

that was a punishing drum solo at the beginning xD

[byFrozN]

5:00 <3

[DPPlay7]

fuck those riffs!!!

awesome!!!!!

[JCesarDT]

my ringtone

[metallicarox80s]

2 people have crossed the crooked step.

[nanoload]

2 people had crossed the crooked step

[Norocmorth]

why the small amount of views

[JohhnySnipshow]

Everytime rudess does his solo near the end it just kills me. Could be the greatest thing ive ever heard. Me and by buddy just chill sometimes and listen to dream theater and we both agree as avid fans that this takes the cake for dream theaters flagship song.

[LegendOfOldTrafford]

john petrucci can do anything he fucking wants on the guitar lol saw him last night in Toronto and let me tell you it was fucking insane 3 rows away from the god himself and Mangini rocked the shit out of that show. He pulled out a famous Terry Bozzio solo which was incredible. The more i hear about how portnoy left the more of a dumbass he sounds like lol.

[xTheWorldNeedsAHerox]

God. John Petrucci can make riffs that so fucking awesomely IN YO FACE. Gets the adrenaline going. Love it.

[7zombiehobo7]

"dont cross the crooked step" would make an awesome dubstep drop

[duhast43]

@7zombiehobo7 say that to skrillex

[phreestylesk8r]

hahahaha in recomended videos "parents caught their daughter having sex!"

[barbedorion69]

justin bieber dislikes this

[MrPetrucci10]

Honor Dream Theater

[darklordmelkor]

I used to listen to this song years ago. Now I somehow remembered it and found it and listened to it.. It is still as awsome as it used to be.. The only difference is.. I think it is talking about my father...

[guidomic123]

looooooooooooooool

0 don't like... this world sometimes is right

[BOONERBOYO]

I love Tom Cruise's performance in 'Magnolia'. Really nailed the scene with his father at the end of the film.

[FullMetalFurbee]

how the hell does this have so few views??? DAMN!

[The1Klown]

@FullMetalFurbee probably cuz the people that wanna hear it have it lol

[marsarium]

@FullMetalFurbee Actually DT is not known a lot, but most of the time, the best treasures are hidden ;)

[stupidretard10]

@FullMetalFurbee cause people have horrible taste in music

[Wowwwwwwwwwj]

@FullMetalFurbee They deleted the song video that had 700k+ views...

[TheNathvar]

@FullMetalFurbee Because he has 3 tags. He should put in the name of the song and album in the tags.

[joshd1234567891]

"You cocksucker, I know you're here."

[Trumavarium]

Where did you find those "talking" lyrics?
