Dream Theater - In the Presence of Enemies - Part I and II

[OneTakeJesus]

23:33 gave me chills... Thanks LaBrie!

[Robsody92]

16 people are enemies



[Adamdude74]

Heard this song for the first time in the back seat of my friends car...My life has changed.

[oediful]

love it

[wojrew]

the beginning of the second part sounds like a pink floyd.

[dragonanimus]

Its most likely the compression you used for the song

[marcusmaximus11]

Systematic chaos is the heaviest dream theater album i think

[cptnBaby]

@marcusmaximus11 i thought that till i heard train of thought

[marcusmaximus11]

@cptnBaby yes you're right.. i forgot that album

[supercj8899]

@cptnBaby I don't really care, this is by chance the most breathtaking, heavy, mind-driving, and insane album I've EVER heard.

[TheDestructocon]

its 42 minutes because thats how legit these guys are xD

[XRYoNs]

feel the eternity in 41minute

DT best band ever

[isthatyourpussy]

There are no words to describe how amazing this band is. Hail Dream Theater.

[karlonchoprog]

sin duda alguna temazazazo de principio a fin no me canso de escucharlo!!!!gracias por estas alegrias dream...

[ModernMetal88]

this is...music. Enough said

[tesfan4evr]

Undoubtedly of the better epics ever produced by any band.

[releasethedark]

So far the best thing I heard from these guys

[Lennaert311]

The long time after the song finished is to clean up all the cum you left :D

[MareInTheMoon]

@Lennaert311 If that's what floats your boat, just fine. Personally I'd prefer even clopfics.

[filth69ify1]

Nice

[CTBmarc]

poop?

yeah.

[FrozenKing142]

1:27-1:44 always make me smile

[furzflamme]

love 0:00-41:03

[anthonymm777]

@furzflamme You do realize the song ends at 25:35, right?

If you're not going to legitimately listen to the whole song, then don't make a comment like that, unless you liked 25:36-41:03, which was literally nothing

[greatorder]

@anthonymm777 I looked at his comment, my first thought was

'fail'

anyway, 100% agree with you there. I think he's just a thumbs up whore.

[furzflamme]

@greatorder silence is power

[greatorder]

@furzflamme I like the way you thought it appropriate to say it to both of us.

[furzflamme]

@anthonymm777 silence is power

[a7x66dreamtheater]

can some one post a video of just in the presence of enemies part 2 by its self?

[greatorder]

I like the way the two top comments are, in effect, opposite of each other.

[nbguitar90]

this is a masterpiece!

[fifa12superior12345]

@BroskiWalsh ermm Green Day are O.K. but not the best.

EVERYONE KNOWS DREAM THEATER IS BETTER!

[TiagoMorbusSa]

@fifa12superior12345 Green Day is not even in the same galaxy. Who would put their name in the same sentence as Dream Theater even? That's like comparing vintage Port with piss water.

[ImmaculateLamp]

how did I get here from watching videos of the rainbow parachutes in grade shool

[mryupiti]

41 minutes shaking my head dream theater is the best

[BroskiWalsh]

Suck that Green Day.

[86akhilgupta]

Systematic chaos is the perfect name for this album...To the 5 musicians, they know what they are doing and they ultimately come up with an album which causes us fans to have in chaos in our brain and heart...It feels like my heart has a brain of its own now :)

[Dusearly]

@86akhilgupta ... or not, What are you listening to?

[alynette02]

@86akhilgupta Actually, your heart DOES have a brain. Look it up, it is pretty cool stuff. :) By the way, I agree with you.

[Mrmusicplayer08]

130 dbl in my room! with these two epic songs! oh yeah i love these songs! \m/>.<\m/

[Darkhuaza517]

@Mrmusicplayer08 So you support ear damage?

[SonickHero194]

this is probably one of my favorites, one of my favorite lines is the Dark Master section, just the way he sings it, just amazing

[AVguitarchannel]

if u wanna play it, the begginning need a lot to concentrate

[daxjfg]

there is no a bad dream theater album just different ones like train of thought is diffenrent from octavarium and this is different form bcasl ( the 9 album abreviation ) and the last album is more like the old one that just show us the awesomess of this band they can change their music is they want they dont just play one tipe of music

[noobsmoke261]

I don't even know how in the FUCK someone can be so good at what they do, it's mind blowing, really. This song sounds so fucking sick the drum fills in the beginning are so spot on with the Guitar Stabs WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[PandemicAsylum]

the best progressive metal bands out there dream theater and symphony x (just my opinion)

[MetalHeadHellYeah]

@PandemicAsylum Symphony x 1#

[PandemicAsylum]

@MetalHeadHellYeah fuck yea mate

[GuitarAndWow]

@MetalHeadHellYeah u cant say Symphony is better than DT...it's just not going to happen..ever.

[DaemonEX0]

@GuitarAndWow Amen to that. Though they created some awesome albums as well.

[GuitarAndWow]

@DaemonEX0 yes... Symphony X is a very good band..1# DT, 2# SX

[givemeajackson]

@GuitarAndWow maybe not better but surely equal and not really comparable. symphony isnt half as complex as dt, but more technical.

[GuitarAndWow]

@givemeajackson more technical? HAAAAAAAAAAA :DDDDDDDDDD, Train Of Thought is more tehnical that all of Sx albums together :DDDDDD

[givemeajackson]

@GuitarAndWow well, train of tought was mainly fast alternate picking all the way trough. i think romeos tapped arpeggios in sea of lies for exemple are more technical than that and his alternate picking is about as fast and accurate as petruccis. and what amazes me about romeo is that live he smiles towards the crowd, does some show and plays the sickest stuff completely flawless meanwhile. petrucci just stands there and stares at his guitar. both equal bands.

[GuitarAndWow]

@givemeajackson lol, petrucci is know for his WAAAAAAVE :DDD , sea of lies isn't hard at all, im gettin a camera for my B-day and uploading full cover, (i will be turning 14). : )

[givemeajackson]

@GuitarAndWow you're obviously a troll then... stop wasting webspace.

[GuitarAndWow]

@givemeajackson a troll, jelly that I can play them, ur low..

[supercj8899]

@GuitarAndWow ...am i the only sane person left on earth?

[clodoveo14]

@GuitarAndWow technic is not the aim but a mean

[MareInTheMoon]

@GuitarAndWow I'd say de gustibus non disputandum.

[lickapostagestamp]

@GuitarAndWow

maybe not, but still hella band!

[PandemicAsylum]

the intro sounds like a rush song

[CuriousComposer]

Wow, LaBrie is incredible in this. One of DT's best songs.

[tsadrummer]

Epic crescendo at the end, too bad it ends the song.

[EXHellfire]

I think this song is by far their best, and that is A LOT, since all their songs are top notch

[cpjackson79]

This song is amazing.  I don't know what else to say about it. Such musicianship is rare these days.

[toastednoodle1996]

i love systematic chaos, personally i think its one of their better albums

[86akhilgupta]

@toastednoodle1996 I agree with that..And my respect for the album multiplied after I saw the documentary for this album

[GuitarAndWow]

@toastednoodle1996 I like this album the best...and yes ''a dramatic turn of events'' is known to kill people.

[ChubbyGregLord]

@toastednoodle1996 I love Systematic Chaos. Personally, I think this album only falls short to Octavarium and Scenes From a Memory.

[toastednoodle1996]

@ChubbyGregLord i agree, out of all the albums dream theater have done scenes from a memory was the best for me, and octavarium is just absolutely mindblowing too

[ChubbyGregLord]

@toastednoodle1996 If I were president of the United States, (a 15 year-old president- we're fucked) the first thing I'd do is make a law where every household in America had no choice but to own a copy of Scenes From a Memory, and Octavarium. Dream Theater isn't my favorite band, but they have too much talent and too much lyrical ingenuity to not be a well known band.

[MrCookie31c]

@toastednoodle1996

There is no "better" in DT Albums ;)

All are equally awesome :D

[ShadowWocky]

@bangNL94 - it's a shoutout bro. :P

[ShadowWocky]

Yo Auto Tune lovers, get the fuck off music. Y'all KNOW you can't sing, so stop cheatin. USE YO VOICES~

[bangNL94]

@ShadowWocky Wait what? Who are you talking to? There are no actual musical performers watching this video? Right?

[dragonknightshaun]

lol, checked about 3 times during the pauses to see if the song is over XD

[Motor33ful]

hoooooo yeaa!!!!!!!!

[UnPreemptive]

The Ending Seemed Kind of Awkward

And Creepy

[UnPreemptive]

8:13 is Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooo GOOD!!@!@!

[KyleParkePlaysDrums]

This is going to be my first dance at my wedding

[WrathchildNH]

if I had to pick a least fav DT album...it wouldn't be this.....maybe their first one

[TheAnkhorus]

@WrathchildNH They're all good with Mikey behind the kit.

[izefreeze]

Because 4/4 is for pussies.

[kikkeliguru]

omg this is art eargasm!!!

[RojoGatto]

Art isn't dead!

[felphero]

what's up with the 15 minutes of silence? o_õ

[madeofmetaljmfr]

Priest! \m/

[obengbengkok]

spirit of the radio

[TheIdahoAsylum]

To say this is their worst album, is a compliment to the amazing level of mastery their other albums are. People don't like this kind of music because their simple minds are only large enough to wrap around 3 chord dog shit.

[ashebull123]

@TheIdahoAsylum Who said that?

[TheIdahoAsylum]

@ashebull123 Samyaza69 said this is their worst album... Look down a few comments.

[firishte1]

@TheIdahoAsylum IMHO this is really the worst album of them. The only songs that save the whole album are these epic ''In the Presence of Enemies pt.1 and pt.2". Forsaken, Constant Motion, The Dark Eternal Night are very metal and lost a lot of the Progressive concepts...DT is a Hard Rock Progressive band not Metal Progressive according to the own members (Rudess and Portnoy).

[firishte1]

@firishte1 But after ToT I'm starting to think they're really Metal Progressive...Well, I don't like very much metal, so that's the problem hehe.

[TheIdahoAsylum]

@firishte1 Yeah well... I like good metal and it isn't screamo so, even if we are taking a dip away from the sacredness of progressive (which Genesis invented - 1968), it's still amazing. We could even say Iron Maiden stepped into progressive when they started using keyboards but I don't think we need to go there. Sad that MP is not with DT anymore though.

[TiagoMorbusSa]

@TheIdahoAsylum Well, he never said it wasn't prog. DT is just not metal. It's hard rock with a metal drummer... Prog. But hard rock nonetheless.

Also the best there is, just so you know - from my statement - that I am not taking a shot at them.

[bangNL94]

@firishte1 When someone says Progressive Metal, everyone says Dream Theater, except you. To call it hard rock would be an understatement and an insult.

[TiagoMorbusSa]

@bangNL94 When someone says "Progressive" they say Dream Theater. The "Metal" part really isn't relevant to the outcome.

[bangNL94]

@TiagoMorbusSa Meh I guess that's just a matter of opinion. When I just hear the word "progressive", I also think about Pink Floyd, for example. But progressive metal, that is really what defines Dream Theater, imo.

[TylarBoyle]

@TheIdahoAsylum i literally cant like this comment enough

[sosaysthelegend]

@TheIdahoAsylum And it wouldn't be remotely true. I was totally energized by Systematic Chaos when it came out. This song in particular. I think the intro still ranks among their best of all time. This album is fantastic. They don't have an album I dislike, but I would actually rank this in the upper half of their discography.

[gijs108]

A Dream come true



[matthieu71]

EM I S-E-NG

[DonPetrushka]

I think this's my favorite DT's epic.

[losmakatofull]

amazing what a touch by God

[MellonVegan]

My DT favourite!

[Samyaza69]

no offence but this albums is one of their worst!

[MattyyyM]

@Samyaza69 You mean this song is the album:O:D

[Crossdrop]

@Samyaza69 I like Black Clouds... way less. This song is great, one of their greatest ever imho (leave the lyrics out) and Ministry Of Lost Souls is cool, too. The rest is...partly okay. There were weaker albums...

[larsagi2008]

@Samyaza69 I think it is their best

[18je1]

@larsagi2008 yeah

[Thraxus13]

@Samyaza69 We can't take you seriously when you type like that.

[Samyaza69]

@Thraxus13 who cares buddy is admirable for a guy who learned English by itself and not in school. So suck it babe! I currently speak 8 languages. How many do you speak?

[MrGamerBazer]

@Samyaza69 lol anyone can bullshit over the internet XD

[TiagoMorbusSa]

@Samyaza69 Props bro, só espero é que vous comprenez ce que je che sto dicendo, perché io parlo solo about three or four different sprachen, und doch kann ich einfach etwas schreiben überzeugender als что вы только что написали. これは実際には、本当に楽しいです。Mutta minulla ei ole koko päivää.

مع السلامة.

[Samyaza69]

@TiagoMorbusSa Viva Google Translate!

[vito500]

i jizzed.

[onewinged7]

Great song, but I really don't like it at 25:39

[Sduibek]

@onewinged7 lol, nice try asshole :P

[TheDiscoveryofall]

Mike Portnoy ceases to amaze me with his drumming talents. He shall forever be a fantastic drumming musician.

[nanoload]

You can hear bits of every song from the album in this song, pretty awesome.

[moyrml]

15:05 - "The Slaughter of the Damned" is simply heavenly. incredible writing, motivating, inspiring and really gets you going!

[utmax85]

lol this is my first time watching it and I honestly thought it was 41 minutes long. :o

[JumpingBalrog]

why is there at least one negative comment about Labrie's singing? leave that guy alone already.

[ShefMastaRyan]

@JumpingBalrog i think he is an excellent singer

[JimInFlames]

REDEMPTION, REDEMPTION FOR HUMANITY

FUCK YEAH!

[JimInFlames]

FUCKING MASTERPIECE

[MareInTheMoon]

YouTube comments section: In the Presence of Stupidity.

[MlKEPORNTOY]

I'm gonna dig through Labrie's Christmas gifts this year and write a song called in "In The Presents Of Enemies."

[Elementia1]

This is unbelievable! A masterpiece no doubt.

[MrPetrucci10]

WTFF !! IS THIS FOR REAL ??!!

[RushLyricsOnScreen]

the whole intro is amazing

[Georgeous129]

the song sounds so gorgeous. and from 2:10 to 4:07, that is so heavenly i went back to listen to that whole section again. just like 6 Degrees and Count of Tuscany, its just a breathtaking piece of songwriting

[Rezhisorebi]

This song is a wonderfull masterpiece by the world's bets band!!

[Boelsebub]

25:20 - 41.03 The worst part.

[TheeOutlaw]

@Boelsebub

You mean 25:35

That fading in piano is awesome

[nanoload]

The dark master has 16 trapped souls

[mrjay939293]

@nanoload and 1153 fighting for him

[peruanosmonosconropa]

awesome ! I love this song the part I & II

[Ignore14]

this is fucking amazing. i've only heard a few songs by dream theater.

[fastblackshapes]

I don't understand how Dream Theater are perfect! Progressive music with metal roots, these guys are ...! I can't describe it.

[dctrtuba1]

wonderful technique! I love musicians who can actually SPEAK THE LANGUAGE. 

[DCRivs]

I jerk to this.

[prognosticator65]

I'm a 46 yo white -haired old bastard who's been a DT fan since IAW "back in the day"...finally realize what Yes n Tull meant to my Pop's generation...then it became Rush for me....WOW...it's the music itself, great lyrics are a nice bonus IMHO, however, I do still get the chills when hearing most any DT so no one's getting $1,000 outta me...on that note, my head did explode (AGAIN!) right at 8:23 this time therefore also ending, at least, MY world at 8:24

[2dum2liv]

if your head doesn't explode between 8:10 and 8:36 then your not alive.

[CletusGoldsteinberg]

@2dum2liv either way im dead LOL

[spirkan]

@2dum2liv and DEFINITELY not AFTER that =))

[ImThePie]

What the fuck ? This is a masterpiece.

[OMNOMNOMOTRON]

@ImThePie Why would you ever be surprised that a Dream Theater piece is a masterpiece?

What the fuck?

[ImThePie]

@OMNOMNOMOTRON Because of all the shit I've heard from before, this is totally something that understands me, this is music.

[RubySnow101]

4:16 onwards = best  intro to any song ever written.

[chinobataco]

From 25:35 to 41:03 the song sux!!!!

[MOV0021]

04:24 Donkey Kong Country

[TheeditorFJComics]

fucking love dream theater! i got the new album with the bonus DVD and played the CD on my radio as i watched the DVD

[SurvivorsOfTitanic]

Love this song, but damn, that part towards the end where James sings

"The moment I feared has passed

The moment I lost my faith"

reminds me so much of another song, but I can't put my finger on it. Can someone help me out?

[Glaerdrune]

Priest anyone?

[moviemaster8510]

@Glaerdrune Yes, and we mean the Korean manga, not the aborted film adaptation where the albino monk from The DaVinci Code fights vampires that look like Marilyn Manson's scrotom.

[Glaerdrune]

@moviemaster8510 Amen to that! Watched the movie the other day, knew it would suck from the start. Priest the manwha is freaking awesome ♥

[SamodioSherwin]

fantastic song!

[Akasavir]

Wynajmijmy te mrówki do budowy autostrad w polsce!

I will not translate this cuz its joke about my country :D .

[MrDuckFuk]

@Akasavir You from Poland?

[Akasavir]

@MrDuckFuk Yep.

[headshot20X]

incredible...

[BEANZY2010]

I saw them in houston last week they were BAD ASS!!!!

[moviemaster8510]

15:04 - 18:18 I will pay 1,000 dollars to anyone who doesn't get chills listening to any of this.
