  • YYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSS

  • mmm i don't liked the voice .____. .........

  • John Petrucci KILLED Chuck Norris !!

  • @VNtinos as cool as that sounds, no he didnt. :P

  • i liked the part when it went wahu wahu wahu xD

  • @ginjeeimano Is it strange that I actually know what you're talking about?

  • 6:11 they are a little off timing if you listen closely

  • @sourcegamer101 It's the drums playing a polyrhythm with the guitar, that's the intended effect. It changes the accentuation of the beat with each bar.

  • @r1c0ch3t211 Yeah but in the part, instead of the bass drum going "badada dum dum bum" in that part, it goes "badada dum dum da  dum" which results it going off timeing a little.

  • @sourcegamer101 either way it still sounds awsome

  • wow, how come your vids don't get whacked by WMG? *serious question*

  • @gotha Read the description.He puts hes not using it for profit.

  • @JTheDawg I have blocked DT videos, so if I put the 'non-profit' text in the description, there's a chance they can be unblocked?

  • @gotha If theyre competly blocked,its probably too late.Just try copying the disclaimer he has in his description to yours,then reupload the video.

  • @gotha dude..just search for 'wmg issues' in johnpetrucciforums..a guy posted the stuffs to do, to get rid of it..i have been using it for all my uploads and its going fine ^^

  • Petrucci is the supreme ruler of the world..

  • reheat dinner see it!

  • 2:13 makes my head bang

  • @lsmartin96 Brutal riff!!!!!!!

  • Where are the processed background vocals in the verse parts? Am I missing something? Is there a different version of this song that I'm used to?

  • 10 glass prisons are stuck in people.

    THERE, I FUCKING DID IT.

  • Are all the tracks on this album as good as this track? Is Petrucci using some insane sweep picking techique on this track? Sounds so fucking complicated but can't stop listening to it...lol

  • @Hertsman50 Yes. This is a great cd from them. One of 2 I bought.

  • Instrumental of this song would be beautiful indeed.

  • 6DOIT = sex: do it ??

  • @ilmelangolo Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

  • @Carbun09

    ma dai?

  • 8 reasons to wear a condom...

  • Skip ahead to the music button click here -----> 0:32

  • what an opening riff...damn petrucci

  • seven people are stuck in a glass prison. seven people are stuck in a glass prison. seven people are stuck in a glass prison. seven people are stuck in a glass prison. seven people are stuck in a glass prison. seven people are stuck in a glass prison. seven people are stuck in a glass prison. seven people are stuck in a glass prison. seven people are stuck in a glass prison. seven people are stuck in a glass prison. seven people are stuck in a glass prison. 

  • @EyMeng You said it 11 times. FAIL.

  • @1pa2ch no, I said "seven people are stuck in a glass prison." 11 times

  • @SPARTAbassist you dont run youtube around here so stop trying to be "cool" and tell people what to do, shut up and listen to the music

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @SPARTAbassist go back to the playground where you came from

  • yah why dont you worry about your own self and stop trying to sound "smart" on youtube. No one gives a flying crap what you say, shutup and enjoy the music.

  • @GuitarDrummer1234 no, SPARTAbassist was right, those kind of comments are really fucking annoying

  • seven people are stuck in a glass prison.

  • @GuitarDrummer1234 Do you really have nothing meaningful to say at all that you revert to that unoriginal comment used by everyone trying to be clever? Those comments are so overused and pointless that most of us find them extremely annoying. If you're going to write a comment that is only annoying, please don't write it.

  • mediocre music with a mediocre vocalist.

  • @axeofgod72 mediocre comment from a mediocre person

  • @axeofgod72 ignorance is bliss asshole

  • @johnnyo3535 Then why isn't everyone happy? Everyone is ignorant about plenty of things.

  • @axeofgod72 I see you like DEATH on your page. I like Death, but DT is harder to play. I love Chuck but JP DESTROYS him!!!!!!! Nuff said. FAST is overrated.

  • @xXSTFDXx Think you could make/get a instrumental version of this? Thanks

  • @Muneem2 That cannot be done. The only way you could obtain an instrumental version of this song is if a) dream theater ever releases the instrumental demos, like they did with ToT b) someone else goes on studio and records everything except for the voice.

  • @xXSTFDXx Oh well. Thanks for telling me though

  • @xXSTFDXx or you can load the song onto pro tools and cut the vocals

  • @xXSTFDXx nobody else could ever do this any justice other than dt

  • @xXSTFDXx that can also be done if you had the Voice track. Then you apply some tricks with sound editor, and you get the instrumental.... like if they were to release a voice track anyway

  • @xXSTFDXx or if the Glass Prison was ever released for Rock Band, so the seperate tracks could be isolated.

  • @xXSTFDXx You can also use a program to take out the voices and save the file as an instrumental. Something like Guitar Pro is able to do that, around 4 years ago. Haven't used it since then, but I'm sure it's a whole lot better now.

  • @xXSTFDXx It is possible if one is willing to take the time to filter out the vocal and mixed sound waves, which is itself a difficult task.

  • @meerak915 it would sound terribly weak. since its a multi-layered track recording (like pretty much every recording thses days) youd be filtering out parts of the drums and guitars frequencies. it would sound very good at all.

  • @ljoekelsoey4 would NOT **

  • @ljoekelsoey4 true

  • @Muneem2 One way you could get a mostly instrumental version: If you have a recording program that has "Invert Phase" capabilities. You can put the song in there twice on 2 separate tracks. make sure one track is all in the left channel and one track is all right channel. take one of the channels and do an "invert phase". Since most vocals are panned to the center, the inversion will cancel most, sometimes all, of the vocals out of the track.

  • This song really set me straight. By far one of my favorite DT songs, lyrics-wise.

  • Possibly the most awesome JP solo I've ever heard. I thought Loomis was the god of sweeps until I heard this song.

  • @Hertsman50 Jason becker is the god of sweeps :c

  • @Hertsman50 wordddd dude, this is definitely my favorite song by them too. loomis is great at sweeps all over the neck just here i think petrucci is using more of the 3 stringed shapes? doesnt matter they're both great in their own respect! hahah

  • @DtFaN93 yeah I agree they are both amazing.

  • @DtFaN93 Loomis is great. I like his song writing. I am more impressed with THAT than his guitar playing. Which is saying alot, cause he is amazing at guitar.

  • It's so weird listening to the DT back catalog. The first 12 step suite song I heard was "The Shattered Fortress" which uses bits from the other songs, so hearing where the riffs come from is interesting.

  • 1:50 epic double bass!

  • I really appreciate that you uploaded these with stereo sound. It really adds to the experience!

  • Sorry but I think I crossed the crooked step. Now I love DT.

  • Too bad Pourtnoy is gone. Hopefully he'll get into an equally talented band with a more powerfull sounding vocalist. The guy from DT can sound a bit whiny sometimes.

  • @joey198098 i totaly agree with everything ur sayin man.

  • I love DT for its heavier stuff. I appreciate the musicianship of their slower songs, but they bore me. I just like a fast pace.

    I get what you guys mean about grammar on Youtube. I don't want people to assume I'm a high school drop out.

  • @Benisacannibal thats ok

  • Bad Ass! PERIOD! Often overlooked and probably the best CD they ever put out!

  • @VoxBox2000 thats subjective

  • @VanishingDigital So is your comment...PERIOD!

  • @VoxBox2000

    no, its not. you're dumb

  • @VoxBox2000 Scenes from a Memory is my first choice... This album is my second!

  • @Benisacannibal so? lol i'm saying calling any guitarist a show off is like saying that musical instruments tend to make sound. its kind of obvious

  • The bass drum is so powerful. Sounds like heavy artillery machine guns rapidly firing. MP is an amazing drummer. Damn, this entire band fuckin' blows my mind. Saw them live last summer and they sound even better than their studio work. 

  • @Benisacannibal

    Name one guitarist who isn't a show off lol

  • @VanishingDigital

    Dave Murray of Iron Maiden

  • this song is a masterpiece!!!

  • calm and strong ... just perfect

  • calm and rude ... just perfect

  • @Benisacannibal

    ...no, haha this is ONE of their masterpieces..

  • @1tanterhetaida2 Look, don't give me wrong, Hendrix was great and all, but all he really was was just ahead of his time. Even if he wouldn't have done what he had done, eventually we still would've come to this today. He was great for the 60's and will always be remembered for that. But simply that, the 60's.

  • @Awesomeguy92 If hendrix wernt about, alot of todays songs wouldn't be the same, look at rhcp and their guitarist john frusciante.

  • Comment removed

  • 6 people suffer from varying degrees of inner turbulence.

  • Damn 6th string...

  • best intro

  • @1tanterhetaida2 u are the biggest faggot in the world, if t wasnt for jimi hendrix this music would not be here to day, man u shouldnt even listen anywhere near the rock culture, go liten to the talentless shit of justen bieber and lady gaga

  • @supercj8899 I'm sorry but I can't agree with you. There would have been someone else to come along. Also, everyone is enfluenced by different varieties of musicians. Hendrix and Page are no longer the best guitarists of all time. There are many in the game today that mop the floor with them (Petrucci is one of them).

  • omg arpeggios!

  • 1:50 it's friggen awesome the drums :D

  • that''s true what u say, petrucci is one of the thecnicalst guitarists in the world, but for the '60s jimi was absolut the best, and no one can get that sound from a fender stratocaster.

  • WOAH unbelievable timing at 6:00......

  • that wah pedal sound is just so perfect....

  • 6:02= fucking wild adrenaline rush

  • almost asgood as jimi hendrix :)

  • @jaccovanderwardt Jimi Hendrix is soooooooooo overrated. So many guitarist these day far exceed his skills.

  • @1tanterhetaida2 Oh yeah, so who's the fag who influenced many metal bands? If it weren't for jimi, many of the worlds greatest metal bands would be doing what he does. Its called evoloution. A genre just keeps evolving, as new artists come up with new ideas.

  • @supercj8899 Who the fuck cares who influenced who? I'm talking about the overrated cum stain that is Jimi Hendrix. Glad that fuckin' drugger died. He was extremley sub-par compared to bands of today.

  • @1tanterhetaida2 Where is you're proof that he sucks? Could you make a better guitar sound than him if you lived in the 60s? Bet not!

  • @supercj8899 I bet you ONE TRILLION DOLLARS I would.

  • @1tanterhetaida2 How about you give me an example of a better guitar sound than jimi hendrix that was made in the 60s.

  • @1tanterhetaida2 Your not making a valid argument on this comment... Hendrix was 50 years ago... of course people will surpass someone in talent in 50 years. Now if hendrix was alive right now and started in the past few years then maybe you would have a valid one but your just not getting there with this one.

  • @mazin6892 What are you talking about? Tchaikovski, Rachmaninov and Mozart all lived hundreds of years ago and still no one has surpassed their music. Why does age matter? Hendrix had a guitar, people today have guitars, only today they are much better than he ever was.

  • @1tanterhetaida2 : at least an intelligent comment :)

  • my face melted

  • This song has one of my favorite intros, that white noise and the chime in the background is so eerie, i get jitters down my spine!

  • <--------- full version of this song in my channel

  • They are incredible.

  • 1:47 is my favorite part

  • W.T.F is great!!!!!!!!!

    

  • @leoncillo2000 Great is a tone deaf idiot shutting the hell up.

  • Chuck Norris should be the new D.T. drummer...

  • @GRFTGP Chuck Norris Facts can go to hell

    "Mike Portnoy is the best drummer nowadays. Even better than Chuck Norris"

    Please don't kill me Chuck, but it's true!

  • @VioletAnarchist It's quite the opposite, actually. We don't want to sound like stupid 10-14 year-olds.

  • @xXSTFDXx haha I understand the point of you comment, on another note, VioletAnarchist got pwnd. Haha did you see what I did there?

  • @xXSTFDXx Actually I'm 13 year old and I'm trying my best to use proper grammar on the internet. However, English isn't my primary language so it's quite hard.

  • @xXSTFDXx Im 14 and this is my favortie song :(

  • @xXSTFDXx Indeed. And to any moderately intelligent adult, proper grammar doesn't exactly take any effort.

  • @xXSTFDXx Hey, Its not all 10-13 year olds that act that way, just those ignorant ones. I happen to be 13 myself and I don't see myself spamming vulgar comments in the boxes. And yes, That intro was SICK.

  • @VioletAnarchist is it resaon or reason?

  • @VioletAnarchist no justin bieber XD this is the nice music i like, dream theater! and jimi hendrix!

  • @VioletAnarchist youre a fucking idiot hahahahahahahhaha

  • @VioletAnarchist It's quite clear that intelligence gets on your nerves. And if you didn't catch that, I'm saying you're stupid.

  • @VioletAnarchist Dem internet nurds justs a little smwater den us dumb dumb red necks I guess, excuze me while I go back to eating poop cuz I not vewwy smrat

  • @MikeMikeNana damn, you guys are hilarious. I meant in my original comment that it's funny that you touchy bastards think it's important to sound smart on the internet, on a fucking youtube comment.

  • @VioletAnarchist And I wike to eat poop, lady

  • why does anybody argue about shit on here, like it solves anything...keep opinions to yourself

  • Best Dream Theater song I have heard. Many of their others just weren't heavy enough for me. I tend to prefer bands like Dark Suns and Communic over DT.

  • 2:55 - 3:05

  • Black Clouds for me is sucks,i'm very dissapointed for having that album i hate it !!

  • There is a song like this in Black Clouds and Silver Linings album. I like the 2 versions : )

  • @freminick123 yeah " The Shattered Fortress" they revised "Repentance" from Systematic Chaos, "This Dying Soul" from Train Of Thought and "The Glass Prison" into "Shattered Fortress"

  • Why don't you people stop comparing every band with every other band, and every album with every other album.. These bands don't compete against each other... They form so that they can put their ideas onto a cd and get it out there. Everybody's arguing over "this band sucks now since this album".. To those people I say: If you like a band, go buy the same cd over and over you dumbass. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Who gives a fuck about who you think is the best band?

  • well every one that writes a two paragraph comment trolling that this band is not good because they are not originally enough and we dont appreciate the original artists is gay. this song is great, dream theater is a great band and i know it is not all original but who the fuck cares! look at that i am like 50% gay now :]

  • Wasn't this sorta Dream Theater's first REALLY heavy metal song? I mean, The Mirror is heavy... But not like this

  • I love this song

  • By far the best song ever created.

  • @endscap3 try listening to A Change of Seasons

  • I have never listened to the Twelve-Step suite before, and now the Shattered Fortress makes a lot more sense.

  • I am a cool and easygoing woman **naneedj.info**

  • 3 people dont like music..

  • 5:29 sounds like the little breakdown thing in the song "In My Darkest Hour." by Megadeth... So Alot of trash influence... I also have to remember DT has been around since 85' so they were aroudn alot of thrash influences at the time.

  • I don't really get all the Tool vs. DT debating. They're nothing alike other than thy're"progressive" or use odd time signatures. And as good as I think Tool is, I doubt they could ever make something as epic and varied as something like A Change of Seasons. The structure, the progressions, just the instrumentation in general. But then again, why am I comparing, they wouldn't want to - they're not Dream Theater, and Dream Theater aren't Tool.

  • Dream Theater is god. End of story. Tool sucks ^^^ hahaha

  • @MKzero64 Actually, DT Is like Tool, Only bit bigger diffrens i find is thta Tool songs are not built aroud guitar.. Also only thing I don't like in DT is singers voice..(like I think he would fit better in power metal band cause of his voice) That is why I like more DT songs without singing But instead I think Tools Maynard James Keenan is best singer ever.. But that isonly what i think

  • arpegasm

  • I don't think it's accurate to compare DT with Tool?

  • Creativity...musicianship...on­e instrument is hard than the other....this guy plays better than that guy....both you guys are kinda missing the point here.

    Sit back and enjoy the song, don't analyze the intricate details behind its creation or creators. I personally like this song from Dream Theater because the time changes gives it a journey, and keeps the journey fresh.

    And if you bash this comment, then again you've both failed to find the real point in the music.

  • @minashithemule What's so wrong about arguing? So what if we want to compare artists or point out which songs we like best and why? If you say that music is to be appreciated, then I say that the mind is to be exercised. There's nothing wrong with critical thinking and exposure of arguments (as long as you do it right), so will you guys just stop complaining about it?

  • @xXSTFDXx nickelback

  • @BostonSportsGuy567 Nicklebag is bad.

  • @Megadedly "Nickleback is bad, m'kay?"

  • @DreomaBloodwolf M'kay.

  • @Megadedly yeah

  • @xXSTFDXx

    because it doesn't matter,,, its all subjective and completely based on opinion. another persons opinion shouldn't affect anyone else's. arguing about whose "best" is impossible unless you define the word best and its not a subjective definition.qed

  • @minashithemule Do you think this song has special meaning

    

  • @minashithemule so true, dude!

  • 6:02

    METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • @Frank3nstein13 The most badass part right there. I love that

  • because of dream teather and their fucking record company can not find a fucking video of the band. there are things that annoy enough. \\m//
