Dream Theater & Shostakovich -Glass Prison+Str.Quartet No.8

[carl13220]

Smply put : extraordinary.

[FiatObscuritas]

Ok, Now, I believe Humans can create MUTANTS.

[asdfasdferg]

What recording is that?

[Niekpas]

That was fucking awesome.

[sh7de]

This movement seriously needs a rock cover.

[SiemEnzym]

brilliant idea!

[flyingfishpie]

I love Shostakovich about as much as any composer and the original piece is beautifully dark but I can appreciate and enjoy this new texture and timbre that this sound brings. If you don't like it then good, if we were all the same then humanity would still be in the caves or dead by now. I'm glad that everyone here has a different reaction, there is more conformity today than ever before but these differences show our humanity. I love this video/excerpt btw.

Regards, Mark

[flyingfishpie]

Man there's a lot of hate in these comments. First of all I am a Scottish musician and not American and I hate conformity in all ways. I appreciate the technical ability of dream theater and love their music in general because it does what music should do, puts across emotion. I don't think that they are at all like the classic prog bands that I love and grew up to such as yes, rush, elp, king crimson and many more. I see that as a good thing, they have taken elements from those who inspired

[JBear4492]

that was the most hardcore thing i've ever heard!

[petrosonrocking]

Do the complete song man, this section is so powerful \m/

[DiegoMa13]

Fucking awesome!

[Yiannis566]

Damn! I love that!!! Pliiz make more!

[marcialetti]

esto es una mierda... qué tiene que ver shostakovich. No pueden ser tan hipócritas, déjense de joder...

[TimmOfficial]

Daaaaamn this sounds epic!

[frankoramma]

nice!

[BOodidarma]

this shit is fucking heavy, really nice one

[FunkMasterGodOfRock2]

EPIC!

[damageplanNZ]

Thats really good dude, good effort and keep going! I eagerly await more! :)

[ManiacMentalMushroom]

OMG Please make a full length one this is the best dream theater remix ive ever heard

[TouchingYou]

2. I've been searching for 20 years for new "prog" or "art-rock" bands but all I find are those who merely imitate the past.

It's really sad. Where are the INNOVATORS?

DT sound to me like imitators. They practice and shit, but they don't have either the bold innovation needed or iconoclasm.

They also don't have that special CHEMISTRY that makes great music. (millions of bands imitate Zep, but none can capture that special chemistry).

I've listened to tons of DT and found little to like.

[PaulAJCMoreau]

@TouchingYou

shut the fuck up bro...

you don't like the music, ok but don't say that in the face of fans, and keep it to yourself.

[neptuneskys]

The world can listen to CXB forever and not hear anything but the low impact NOISE of the buzzing of a MILLION GNATS. How truly tragic to go through ones life vainly trying to attach himself like a barnicle to former associates that have forgotten about this LYING THIEVING sack of shit YEARS AGO. Do yourself a favor, "Chris" and end it all, no one will notice but maybe you'll achieve a certain peace of mind once you assume room temperature

[TouchingYou]

@neptuneskys This REALLY sounds like that loser Harry Stuckey. He's always stalking me b/c he's jealous that I don't have to drug girls to nail them, and everyone says I'm a genius but Harry can only rehash jimmy page licks poorly.

No wonder he steals others' money so people wil think he's not a loser.

[UnforgivingCritic]

to create you own collaboration video like this one is actually pretty easy.. you just need a software that can synchronize tempos and frames.

[adikaland]

No one said that it was complicated

[manuelergcruz]

@UnforgivingCritic It's really not that hard to mix..IF you have an artistic imagination like the one who made this..2 thumbs up!!

[TouchingYou]

Yeah, I've tried to like Dream Theater for years but they are just awful.

I'll take Yes, The Nice, ELP, King Crimson, et al, over those airheads from Long Island any day.

Sorry.

[neptuneskys]

welcome to the simulacrum

DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOUR ASS on the way out.

[TouchingYou]

What are you, 12 years old?

Try some discourse like an adult.

[neptuneskys]

I'm not the FOOL that LIES about his age on the internet but what do you expect from a pathological LIAR who wouldn't know the truth if it BIT HIM ON THE ASS

[TouchingYou]

@neptuneskys Is this HARRY STUCKEY, the guy who can't get laid without drugging naive girls? Everyone says your parties are lame (which would explain why you need to use heroin to rape girls.)

[DrunkenAtlantis]

Could you explain that a bit more?

[TouchingYou]

explain what?

[DrunkenAtlantis]

Your distaste for dream theater

[TouchingYou]

1. As a musician who's toured America and Europe, it's sad to say that the British are TWICE as smart as Americans are. It ain't coincidence that most of our fave bands are BRITISH rather than American.

Dream Theater grew up in American suburbs, which means they had little intellectual challenging or cultural exposure.

I grew up in the suburbs and it creates zombies.

This veg upbringing shows in their music, which I find to be not very original or unique, b/c America preaches conforming.

[TouchingYou]

3. Millions of musicians have chops, but it means nothing unless there's more than that.

DT's album art just looks like they're imitating the 1970s bands and Hipgnosis. That's not cool.

The way they dress is also anti-creative, anti-fun, and so on. (Sorry, but the way you LOOK matters if you're going ON a stage. You're asking me to LOOK at you.)

They aren't very smart guys. Battles are smart guys. Have you heard them? Look up "Mirrored". (I dislike that their pieces get too repetitious.)

[worstfuckfaceever]

There is nothing left to explain, YOU LYING SACK OF SHIT,

You are a jealous fraud with the critical capacity of a potato and both Delfino and Rev have joked about how you have the WORSTFUCKFACEEVER

Now STOP lying about me and I'll stop telling the truth about you.

[TouchingYou]

but I don't have to BEG Rubulad to book my bands.

And I don't have to drug girls to get them into bed.

Like you, HARRY STUCKEY / Vox has to.

[erikv218]

ooo que la chingada como castras cabron si no te gusta dream theater porque chingados ves los videos!!! pendejo!!

[worstfuckfaceever]

explain why everyone that has ever known you and took pity on you eventually walks away shaking their head and saying to themselves how done they are with you. How you perceive random acts of kindness as a sign of weakness that you immediately start angling to take advantage of.

explain why every girl you've been with from Simone to Rev Skank to Delfino sez you are the most emotionally needy and pathetic lover they'veever been with

BUT MOSTLY? explain those MAN BOOBS! ewwwww they are so GROSS

[TouchingYou]

@worstfuckfaceever WOW. The crack has you fully in its grip. (There's not even an evil motive for you to post on this video, CRACKHEAD!) Everyone, beware a CYBERSTALKER / crackhead / child porn fanatic troll named HARRY STUCKEY aka VOX LUX. He has 25 youtube accounts to stalk people. Yeesh. (And sad for him everyone knows I dumped Simone, Rev Jen, and Delfino. Hey ya 55 year old crackhead. Get off the computer and get a life. You are just shriveling up and dying.)

[Skwigelf100]

I thought this was cool actually, merely because I thought it was funny. Geez people, lighten up.

[HarmoniumLibri]

Actually, the original movement is that and even more: it's wild, primitive, heavy and weirdly demential. That'd not sound too bad if a rock or metal band (or even Dream Theatre itself) takes the matter seriously and makes a real homage to Mr. Shosta playing the complete quartet, XD

[HarmoniumLibri]

Hey!!! Where is the rest of the piece???? XD XD XD XD XD

I think all of we agree that Mr. Shosta's 8th Quartet is a masterpiece per se. However, being already frank, sometimes I've been wondered how this movement, in particular, could sound as a rock or metal piece, hahaha.

[esthetichaos]

I agree with AbsoluteZ3R0. It's a Shostakovitch masterpiece. No need to add Dream Theater crap music.

[ciaconne90]

if you want to hear the actual thing look up shostakovich string quartet no. 8 in c minor movement 2. that's the actual shi.t

[thecaster]

Wow. This is amazing.

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

This is horrible. Sorry, but adding guitar and percussion to something that is already great and whole in its own right does not make it greater.

[dimedizzle]

Close minded.

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

Absolutely not.

[rocksor83]

Why does this need to be "greater" than the original? It is merely different and is the product of a younger generation that considers the fusion of wildly different ideas and media to be an art form in and of itself. Personally I think DSCH would approve of these derivative works, he himself borrowed heavily from the popular music of his day, not to mention Bach and Stravinsky.

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

I don't care if Shostakovich would approve or not, this completely ruins the piece. People are simple-minded and think that adding electric guitar/drums to anything makes it cooler. I doubt any well-seasoned musician would find any enjoyment in this. If anything, Shostakovich may have found it amusing that someone took one of his works and did this, but that doesn't mean he would like it.

[Aanalleinoneman]

OH YOUR MOTHER FUCKING GOD!!

EEEPPPPIIIIIIICCCCCC!!!!!!!!

Rofl! 0:20. Grim.

[MajorMatt8]

That was freaking epic we need to hear the whole song done with the orchestra!!

[abstract37]

Is is possible to make a mix like this between these 2 songs for the WHOLE song? I would love that so much, it wouldn't be funny.

[edthehead83]

I was a little skeptical at first, but 0:20 was like, "woh......"

[steven961302]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[trafficguy101]

SO COOL

[Andylikesmuchmetal]

0.20 makes me want to pull peoples toenails out and burn all they love

[rozipeti]

idiot

[kwrkrlz]

far out 0:20 is evil!

[franciscomeza11]

you have great ear to put these things together, even your other videos mixing DT with Hip Hop, not only funny, but really, it shows you have great ear for music and abstract thinking

[toogoodformusic]

They should do that sort of thing for real. Also check out their new album on their website.

[LefterisDelirium]

Indeed extremely epic...

[PossessiveObsessions]

My brain has not the capacity to process such epicness.

[denitson666]

that was short,but it was a killer one

[bankobalint]

Omg this was epic!

I'd like to see some more like this and the dark nintendo night :P

[Schobe]

this is extremely creative, and very cool

[elvancor]

hmm... dunno, i expected more

[bleulabrie]

Wow, that was epic.

I almost could feel how it started to turn into world domination mode.

Congrats, dude :)

[gyurf]

Wow, dude! That's awesome! I loved it!

[johnnynoirman]

WOW! I REALLY LOVED IT!

[drurylane5]

[824567]

Well then, go back to listening to Britney Spears

Can you do the whole song? It would sound incredible.

[IbanezRG7321]

This is full of WIN!!!!

[gre8]

Absolutely Amazing, one of the most energetic things I've ever heard!

The guys from DT should see this.

[volatiledan]

\m/

[pagucci]

badasssssssssssssssss

[DTRemcoG]

That was the fucking most badass thing I've ever heard.. Damn.. wtf...!!

Great job man!

[altoza]

sick!!!! somehow sounds cacophonic like those electonic radio edits of pop songs but that was really really sickkk!!!!

[metalheaven]

shostakovich is one of my absolute favourite composers. dream theater is one of my all time favourite metal bands. this was pretty damn awesome :)

[BlobVanDam]

WOW. Shame they didn't have time for something like this at the RCMH show. That was EVIL.

[metabog]

Wow, the tempos really fit?

[Freshmanwave]

No. The Shostakovich is slowed down, A LOT.

[Freshmanwave]

However, this is completely headbang-able.

[tru2kungfu]

That was better than I was expecting, nice job.

[LuckilyHeDied]

This is pretty much the most badass thing I've ever heard.

[buzuika]

Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its realy funny

[exxagerator]
