I was skeptical if this was really them at first, but when I heard the guitar.. I knew just by the style it was John lol. (Bass is inaudible and drums are simple so i couldnt tell otherwise)
Fantastic. All these years that I listen to DT I can say with no doubt their best years were 80's, When Dream And Day Unite is ethereal, supernatural diamond of music. I just cant understand why so many people like that boring music DT produced in 2000-s and dislike their early works. It's a shame that so few people know about one of the best their works, hypnotic "A Vision", and so many do headbang for the "rite of passage" shit etc. Thanks for video.
@Varisynth i'm not trying to diss JP or anything..but in 1987,there's thousand more guitar player who play in these kind of level,it's the era of shredder,guys like Marty Friedman and Jason Becker..but then again,JP is Different....
and he can has level over 9000 if he wants to :D :D
And as for technical level, of course, everyone has his limits. But also, when you get to a extremely high level, what's the point in going further? So you can't hear the notes you play?
It's not only about not being able to, it's about not needing/wanting to too.
@Varisynth Same with buckethead, who's at about 1990 did even higher skilled stuff than he did in the last 10 years. Actually, most of those high skilled guitarist can't go any further because they summarized any possible skill of guitar playing in the beginning of their way. We know of Paul Gilbert who did basically the same stuff back in the end of the 80's, in Racer X. Satriani, Lane, Vai, Malmsteen (bah) - never advanced any further too. I hope it's all clear enough to understand.
agreed my friend...and that goes for myung and portnoy too...LOVE them...jordan rudess is amazing too, but its the main three that are my favorites of Dream Theater...
Guys wrong info they did very well during the 2 years it's not like that and petrucci himself said he learned a lot about harmonizing,chord relation,ideas,improvisations and all those 2 years helped all of them out!Mayung even said he had a great bass teacher there so I hope that clears things out.
For what they know they made 2 years not passing any exams they just kept playing togheter and creating the basis for majesty and then dream theater XD
For what they know they made 2 years not passing any exams they just kept playing togheter and creating the basis for majesty and then dream theater XD
yes. thank god petrucci looked through a door where portnoy was drumming to rush. if he hadn't, dream theater wouldn't be dream theater 2day. :) (taken from score)
i find it amusing how many arrogant retards are out there. wat kind of music are you into? britney spears? timberland? its all commercialised bullshit which tragically appeals to 99.9% of society, which is why its called "mainstream". but if one looks at dream theater, they transcend mainstream in that its never been done before and meaning implied is too abstract for most mouth-breathers like jennalahm and novelboy to get theyr heads around...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You guys, stop ragging on jennalahm. I'm a hardcore fan of Dream Theater myself (rather less so now than a year ago, though), and I am perfectly aware of DT's exceptional musicianship. Sadly, he's right, guys. Without producers, the music they put out is shit.
Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. But if you don't like the SONGS than your problem is more with the writing than with the production.
Having said that, I actually agree with you. I prefer older DT, up to and including SfaM. But I recognize that if a band progresses beyond my tastes then that's MY problem, not theirs. I admire bands that branch out and experiment, even if I don't like where they go. I'm still a DT fan, even though I'm not as fond of their last several albums.
See I'm sure you're at least somewhat familiar with the history of DT, where after FII they didn't like their producers re-writing their songs or telling them what kind of songs to write, so they decided to self-produce. Yeah, I'm not disappointed with the production quality, as I think production is still amazing as always (SC in 5.1...hot damn!).
My gripe is with the fact that they don't allow anyone to fix their weaker tracks anymore, so you get crap.
novelboy2112 you make a gd point but these guys perfect themselves to no make mistakes they wont accept anything that isnt perfect and tbh they done well doing it since the start :)
jennalahm go fucking kill yourself, dream theater is the BEST band that has ever existed, way fucking better than ur fuckin GnR and Nine inch nails, tell me one person from any other band that has as much skill or unlikel more skill than any member of Dream Theater! b4 u start talkin shit u better know ur shit bitch
Are you kidding dude. They are an awsome band. They are pretty much amazing at everything they do. Majesty still rocked even though it was 23 years ago. Go listen to your hip hop crap. That's all made by a computer.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
First off, I dont like hip hop, im a rock chick.
Srcond i listen to bands like Guns 'N Roses, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Queen, etc. they are not simplistic bands. They are bands that make beautiful and deep music without getting into the whole "I can shreed" crap. DT could be a highly skilled band, but they have taken the concept of musicanship and turned into a sport. By the way: "Majesty"??? speaking of lame names for a band.
Yes, it is amazing. All the guys from Dream Theater can shred, but they can also shreed. Many people don't know that.
Oh, and, shut your bitch ass up. Its called talent. DT could cover any of the bands you listed but I doubt any of them could do more than a few DT songs, they're incompareable.
Yes, probabably they can cover any of my bands' songs but...Could they have written those songs in the first place? Tell me how many songs that could be considered "classic" DT has?? the answer is NONE. They might be skilled musicians, but below average songwriters, that's why the world never cared about them.
Yes, probabably they can cover any of my bands' songs but...Could they have written those songs in the first place? Tell me how many songs that could be considered "classic" DT has?? the answer is NONE. They might be skilled musicians, but below average songwriters, that's why the world never cared about them.
If they do not have very famous songs it is because in the world there are many ignorant people as you that listens what the majority listens and not what really is good. I think that you are an ignoramus and does not know anything about music. Go to shit idiot and don't bother
Jesus, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. If you can't acknowledge that Dream Theater isn't perfect, you're more ignorant than those that don't acknowledge that Dream Theater is a great band. To each their own, I say.
So why do you suddenly bring up names? I don't care about the name NEARLY as much as the musicians themselves, but I don't know about you. And if you think DT is nothing but shredding, not only are you close-minded, but you make the effort to be close-minded.
And what do you mean by "uncool" and "cheesy?" You want an example of Uncool and Cheesy music, go listen to Dragonforce.
You use what you've got. If I could play as good as them, I sure as hell would incorporate that into my music. I'm sick of people dissing bands that shred... "There's no feeling to it". DT puts more feeling into their music than any other band out there.
They might shred, but they've worked for years to get that good. If you don't like that, DT plays SEVERAL different styles, listen to Vacant, Solitary Shell, The Spirit Carries On, I can go on and on. The point of musicianship isn't to be BORING!
The skill is clearly there but the structure is not.. Dream Theater (Majesty) have come a long way since the Majesty days. But this seems to be the first video of them ever playing together.. This was recorded in a basement of a store I believe.
I once heard someone say that "if you actually graduate from Berkley... You failed." because all of the really great musicians get picked up before they have time to graduate
Personally he was just playing in a much more typical style then. His Yngwie, Racer X, and jazz fusion influences show a lot more in his old work. As of IAW, he personally created his own style. Sure it was a bit less experimental, but he was personally more unique at the same time then, and is now.
I agree Holdsworth is different but if you check some of the licks he is playing and the kind of arrangement he is doing things in this video kind of has that influence dude.But anyways great playing:)
dude the gutiar in Budokan is a Music Man John Petrucci sgnatured not a BC Rich...And wow this is so Holdsworth type playing...This proves once agian John Petrucci is the man and hwo says he dosent have feel...
LOL "old"
This is awesome I wish I had half Petrucci's talent.

Is it just me or does it seem pertucci's playing was at it's most creative peek around this time?

Personally he was just playing in a much more typical style then. His Yngwie, Racer X, and jazz fusion influences show a lot more in his old work. As of IAW, he personally created his own style. Sure it was a bit less experimental, but he was personally more unique at the same time then, and is now.

I agree Holdsworth is different but if you check some of the licks he is playing and the kind of arrangement he is doing things in this video kind of has that influence dude.But anyways great playing:)

Holdsworth-ish? Maybe if Holdsworth had two broken hands and a severe brain injury.
