  • Why Petrucci change his way of playing

  • this is the DT's masterpiece, for sure.

  • MPPPPPPPPP why you leave DT ? I am so dissapointed to you

  • RELIGION: portnoysm

  • Bring back Mike Portnoy please!

  • why did you not upload the whole 12 min song this was great footage from 1998

  • There is far too much screen time for Portnoy.

  • @cliffordodelljones2 This video is from Mike Portnoy DVD, ;)

  • @cliffordodelljones2 : There is never enough screen time for Mike Portnoy

  • @cliffordodelljones2 There is never enough screen time for Portnoy

  • I've never heard this song before. Sounds so freakin awesome. I think I'm in love with Dream Theater again

  • 1:23 Portnoy ALMOST screws up...but didn't because he's Jesus.

  • Sherinian was a hired gun! Stop arguing people.

  • Just another one ! I couldn't find only one remarkable good DT song until now. And I really tried hard. Spent a lot of hours hearing their tunes on YouTube and even lent some of their CD's in the public library. Sorry - these guys earn their money with nothing but a bit of craftmanship ... that means a lot, but that's it. In a few years I won't remember their name due to insignificance.

  • @duefoscari I can't stop laughing thinking on how stupid your ears must be jajajajajajajaja

  • @julioreyram Great ! You're an expert.You like them. Fine for you .. but I must say that I can't I stand these totally empty tunes anymore. There is really no trace of emotional or intellectual effort in these tunes !

  • @duefoscari Well, im sorry for you.

  • @duefoscari Saying DT's work is made with no emotional effort is (very) wrong from the moment that emotion is completely subjective. Their tunes seem exeptionaly emotional to me, for one.

    But saying it has no intellectual effort is just laughable.

  • @duefoscari

    I don't completely agree but i admit that i don't really like DT. I would much rather listen to 80's shred, than this progressive stuff. I enjoy prog bands like Symphony X more than this, I find JP a little overrated. You can say my ears are stupid or i'm a fag all you want but it's a waste of time. If you really want to argue, give me a recommendation of some good DT songs.

  • @D1vid3By0 ....The Ytse Jam....Enough Said..

  • @D1vid3By0 check out John's solo CD.

    He's a beast. I used to say the best ever.. but I'm older now, and I realize it's completely subjective. John seems to have that 'touch/grace' though that sits well with me and I rarely hear elsewhere. Lot's of other great guitarists out there though.

    Check out the new DT stuff... new drummer, and the songs are much more guitar oriented. The singer doesn't do opera stuff either, which is 'new' to DT's sound. He's much more reserved in his vocals.

  • @vincehexum

    Will do bro, I sensed a disturbance in the force and i had to check my messages. No joke this reply came in 24 seconds after you posted!

  • @D1vid3By0 hahah nice... well.. check out 'animate inanimate' and 'curve'.. Not sure if they are your thing, but the first one in particular is a nightmare. It kind of highlights Petrucci's 'brain'. they are on here

  • @vincehexum

    Thanks man, I didn't even know he had a solo album. Loved "Animate-Inanimate" I will listen to the rest. I never really took a fancy to bands with singers/vocalists. I much prefer the sounds of an amazing guitar solo over vocals.

  • oh yeah and Fuck Dream Theater I'm a fan of Children of Bodom WHOOOOOO Bodom Bodom,but Derek Sherinian is still cool

  • I will always be a fan of Derek Sherinian fuck John Petrucci,Dream Theater are idiots for firing Derek Sherinian,if your just a fan of Sherinian give me a hell yeah and a thumbs up!!!!

  • @ekalb2185 Well, fuck you. Have some respect. They fired him in the "wrong way" I guess. This is one of their best songs, and Sherinian wrote it. It took me a long fucking time to get into this one.

  • @Mechanix1911 piss of you wanker bitch! I'd rather listen to Stratovarius then the garbage Dream Theater writes all their songs are crap,I'm so glad Jens Johansson didnt join Dream Theater Jens is too good for that shitty band ROFL,it even offended me that Dream Theater would cover Metallica and Iron Maiden albums

  • @ekalb2185 fuck of you asshole.

    it's fine if you don't like Dream Theaterbut you don,t have to be such an asshole and tell everybody what you think of them.

  • @dreamtheater98 fuck off you bitch,I'll hate dream theater if I want to on here,I'll be an asshole towards you if thats what you want

  • There's some unbelievable keyboard work on FII. Derek's a beast!

  • 5.39 .. Love it ! Go DT !

  • it just seems like the singer gets ripped off in this band, sometimes hes just dancing around or waiting thru a 10 minute solo to say anything

  • does anyon know where i can find this song for download with the click in it?

  • @rastlin57 and free would be nice

  • this album really grew on me.

    

  • old dream theater...good theater...it never comes again.

  • I'm gonna Miss mike portnoy w/ Dream Theater.

  • 0:02 So that's why they kicked Derek Sherinian out......

  • @SmokingWickerman For dressing onstage like a Rock Star playing in front of audiences of thousands that he did? And if so, it *CAN'T* be any worse that Petrucci's "Hot Topic" phase of super-wide chained-up pants and Manic Panic Red highlights in his spiked hair @ the first Gigantour in '05. Seeing a near 40-year-old dressed up like a Nu-Metal guitarist was simply painful.

  • @SmokingWickerman Hahahaha. I was thinking the exact same thing.

  • @SmokingWickerman Hillarious man! Good point!

  • @SmokingWickerman ~ 0:02? hell I know I could go back and point out at LEAST three or four critical flubbs !! LOL ~ ♪ Poor Derrick ♫

  • @SmokingWickerman Lmao...

  • Petrucci > Nietzsche

  • This song reminds me the good times of Kevin Moore

  • @diadww2 ...except that this song was written 2 years after Kevin left the band, and was primarily written by his replacement Derek Sherinian along with John Petrucci. ;-)

  • @scarred2112 I know, what I'm saying is that I think that the Moore time was the best DT time, best albums. This is a song that remind me that good time. I think that Moore was the best keyboardist, but Derek was a good one too, DT sounded more musical with him than Rudess, we can see by Trial of Tears, Peruvian Skies, New Millenium and etc. All the records are amazing, but I think that this album with Derek reminds me the good times with Moore. It's always a good debate, thanks for sharing!

  • John Petrucci: White mans pride..with an erection!

  • what year is this?

  • @SamKargus Orgasm Year

  • fgjlhkkfjdfkglhkgfdj Sorry, trying to clean the cum in my keyboard :)

  • Great song with an EPIC solo!

  • DAMN dream theater should have made more songs like this!!

  • 4:58 that jazzy line rocks!

  • I wish Derek had had the chance to play on a few more albums, I really like his style.

  • @TheOrangeFondler

    Yeah man, i think Derek had an incredible style, is an excellent musician....Planet X shock my head!!

    I think Derek is better than Kevin...but Jordan is a fu*** god!!

    .

    .

  • we crucify our instincts for the hope we couldn't sa...

  • That's right, show Portnoy during the whole Petrucci guitar solo. What a stupid video editing!

  • @fi1ip To be fair though this is off portnoys dvd... but yeah, still sucks

  • @ke70hibino really, i didn't know that. i guess it makes sense then..

  • Comment removed

  • Labrie sersonal mail is OUTOFTUNE@OMFG.COM

  • RELIGION: Petruccism

  • this is part of which dvd?

  • me

  • damn camera-men didn't catch derek -.- he plays so fantastic keyboard parts and one of the main creative heads behind "falling into infinity"

  • Did Derek come out yet?

  • DUDE AWESOME!!!!!!!!

  • 0:47 you can hear someone yelling the part that's missing.

  • f*cking love these guys.

  • ur guys are idiots...petrucci wasnt the first solo guitar in dream theater...btw,if it wasnt for the drummer,this band would suck

  • @EutecHydra petrucci not the first solo guitar in dream theater?! wtf dude.

  • @EutecHydra If it weren't for Portnoy, the drummer, this band would definitely not suck... fyi, Portnoy hasn't been with the band for a couple months...

  • @EutecHydra Petrucci and Myung are the original members of the Band, thus being the "first solo guitar". They met Portnoy upon their studies at Berklee.

  • @EutecHydra Haha, who was the first solo guitar then?

  • @EutecHydra where are you getting your information bud Petrucci and Myung are Dream Theater they pretty much got everyone else to join the band Labrie, Portnoy, That awesome guy that looks like professor X with a goatee would be none the wiser of each other's existence without petrucci and Myung and although Portnoy is an amazing drummer and will be greatly missed he doesn't make the band I wouldn't pay to go see Portnoy live but theater without Portnoy I would

  • fags

  • @npnelsen jealous?

  • With out the Guitar solo this song would be shit

  • keyboarder looks gay

  • This is so fucking good... I can't put words to it.

  • portnoys hair is such a fail..

  • awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    que lindo sonido loco, siento que esto es la verdadera musica...

  • So let me get this straight, Mike quit this for a bunch of queers who are more focused on looking cool than writing good music.

  • @jesse1291 yes thats true...and its sad :(

  • @jesse1291 I'm still positive, this might be for the good of Dream Theater, they might find a great non-back-stabbing drummer.

  • Wow, Mike Portnoy making those faces during the best solo of all time... no respect. Freaking guitar envy man get a job.

  • what's the name of the cd? or this dvd?

  • hey where did u find this concert? cuz i dont find it... is this once in a livetime or not?

  • STOP SHOWING THE DRUMMER FOR FUCK SAKE?!?!?!?

  • @MyTubeBerko Yeah! I wanna see what Dereks fingering is for the main riff!

  • I had a guitargasm when i heard this guitar solo!!!

  • This is my favourite Petrucci tone ever. I wish he'd go back to the Ibanez JPM instead of playing EBMMs with their ugly little headstocks.

  • wow that keyboardist reaaly looks like a fag...

  • nunca vi o portnoy errar, acho que ele não estava legal,essas turnes deve cansar pra caralho , saca aos 4:53 e 6:09

  • ah my god i love this song, but the thing that myung does at around 1:35 really really annoys me. it sounds so childish.

  • I love portnoy's drumming, but his wife beater outfit phase is a little creepy...

  • @mitsubachi2 surely the wifebeater is better than the unitard from the 80's haha

  • play that tamborine Labrie!

  • man i dont know whats worst this guys singing, or the words, he seriously fucks this band up, so much music is being wasted because of this guy. i could do a 10000 times better!

  • @PuReNiRvANA1 Then why aren't you so popular as James LaBrie ?

  • @DarePortnoy the real question is why isnt he well respected like steven wilson, or maynard? this guy is lucky to be in any kind of band, he seriously sounds like shit and the lyrics are garbage, give this band a new singer and they can so much more better

  • @PuReNiRvANA1 You do have a point.

  • @PuReNiRvANA1 Hahaha. No you couldn't. LaBrie has one of the best voices in metal, if not all of music. His range is astounding, and his timbre and sustain are to be marveled at.

    Hell, your username references Nirvana, which just proves that you know nothing about vocals.

  • @horrabletypoe im pretty confident that i could honestly sing better than him and im not being over cocky at all , ill just have to post a vid of me! best voice in metal is mike from opeth hands down his stlye is way more dirverse and he is real metal! another thing on more than one occassion i have seen d.t. fans bash this singer too! lol as far as the litttle gay nirvana comment you made my user name is not about the band pure nirvana means perfect moment, n the band is not bad or great!

  • fuc**** song i like that

    

  • anyone know the name of the jam they do that starts off with funeral for a friend?

  • Mike fail at 3:08 its funny and Petrucci look at him

  • @t4nqz No.

  • I'd MUCH raher see the band playing live than a damn video,  BUT ... that was AMAZING , whoever constructed it ... .. WOW !!! :o)

  • I DONT WANT TO WATCH PORTNOY DURING A GUITAR SOLO DOING A ROCKBEAT KK MR CAMERA GUY.

  • JP's hair in these days, damn. Looks like he just came out of the Blue Oyster Bar.....

  • Petrucci plays solo with nice feeling ;]

  • Brilliant keyboardplayer!!!

    Great opening solo.

  • This is from Once In a LIVEtime. I like the studio version more. It has that other guy doing the vocals on the chorus.

  • cameraman is in admiration with this aberrant partnoy's haircut :))

  • Gosh I miss petruccis white ibanez when only taking looks in concern.. not that his present guitar isn't great.. it fits his bearlike figure.. but i'd love to buy this guitar .. :)

  • Who is that gay guy in the beginning

    the guy at the keys

    DEREK SHERI

  • Haha, MP looks so goofy with short hair. He's a bro though. BA drummer too.

  • so...where is the last minute?

  • this vid is from one of Mike Portnoys videos thats why they have so many shots of him

  • wow nothing else can describe this song, The solo, or John Petrucci

  • Derek Sherinian is the MAN!

  • The one who's humping the keyboard, is that derek sherinian?

  • @Moshgfx yup!

  • @hazemammari no, it's Kevin Moore. Derek replaced him on the A Change of Seasons release and then was replaced by Jordan Rudess.

  • @SterlingBoyd wrong

  • @Moshgfx he moves so gay, in the intro

  • @UnforgivingCritic Amazingly gay !

  • @Moshgfx your comment made me lol quite a bit, thank you :L

  • @Moshgfx

    They had a keyboardist before Kevin Moore??

  • @davemustaine999 No,it was kevin,then derek,and now jordan :)

  • @sobeto28 i thought it was always rudess? i guess you learn something new everyday.

  • @Moshgfx Yep- That's derek.

  • I love them. They are the best on earth xD

  • the starting is so epic with the drums and keyboard

  • ahhhh the video starts just after the best part. the keyboard intro. you should upload from the beginning.

  • Great song, great musicians, but James.....ouch this time.

  • what're you talking about? labrie sounded great here

  • Haha, Derek kracks me:D

  • What is this footage from? I dont know why they just didnt include it on 5 Years in A Livetime

  • It's from Hampton Beach, NH - 8/4/98, and I'm pretty sure it couldn't be included in 5YIAL because it was taped by Hudson Music for Portnoy's "Liquid Drum Theater" instructional Video/DVD and therefore they had the rights to use it.

  • @scarred2112 How do you know that this video is from Hampton Beach, NH-8/4/98?

  • @blessed7fold It's the same footage used on his 2nd instructional release "Liquid Drum Theater" (they also use footage from "New Millennium" and "Just Let Me Breathe") and there's a few clips from it on "5 Years..." ("Take The Time") where MP confirms the venue. It was a one-off show and notes that's it's easy to recognize the taping due to a) being focused on him as it was for his instructional release, b) it's not a great venue to play due to a very short stage, much like playing a club.

  • @blessed7fold I was also incorrect about any of this taping being on "5YIAL". I confused Hudson Music, who are a decent company and allowed MP to use unused footage from their instructional taping with the label "Magna Carta", who LTE recorded under and wouldn't allow MP to use those songs on his INSTRUCTIONAL release unless *someone* paid them for it (MP, Hudson Music, etc). It's been a long time since I was heavy into DT, and the prog fanboi knowledge is slowly slipping away from me... ;-)

  • Why does Derek keep humping the keyboards on every big beat at the beginning? jk. But AWESOME SOLO!!!!!!!!!! Peace

  • OMFG OMFG, excellent

  • does anyone no when petrucci switched to the music man cause here he is using the ibanez but 2/3 years later in live scenes from new york he has a music man im looking for something within a year or so

  • I'm pretty sure he switched to Ernie Ball around 2000.

  • well he was playing it in the live scenes dvd so that would make sense

  • 2000

  • He switched in November of 1999, right after "SFAM" was released. They had some prototypes ready in time for the tour but were still working on the 7-string model as well as the piezo bridge, which is why on the first legs of the tour (Fall '99 to Winter '00) he was using his Ibanez B&W "Cow" 7-string for "TDOE" as well as his "Desert Camo" Custom Shop model w/ Piezo bridge & Locking Tuners (which would have been the next color if he'd stayed with Ibanez - Google the name for pics) for "Home".

  • I think this song has the best guitar solo!!!!

  • Is this when James got food-poisoned ? cause he cant seem to get to high pitches !

  • lol i didnt notice the camera was on mp the whole time.

    then again im a drummer..... hahaha

  • It's because Mike Portnoy edits all official Dream Theater bootlegs.

  • thank god i wasnt the only one who noticed that.

    and im a drummer too =D

  • saw this show at a club in palo alto, ca and glad to see this footage but the nonstop footage of portnoy is ridiculous

  • This is off of one of his solo/drumming DVD's, so yeah...

  • This is the song that made me like Sherinian.

  • beautiful solo

  • except james.

  • all of them are from berklee, including derek.

  • But Derek did not meet them in Berklee.

  • Seriously how much of Mike do they have to show? The camera guy must have been a drummer...
