Dream Theater - These Walls

[zdkezios]

Are those bass pickups in his baritone guitar? Good lord, he's the maddest of guitar scientists.

[Nomadcze]

Petrucci have in this live song Ernie Ball/Music Man Silhouette Bass Guitar ... you can see - without Piezo pickup - after maked Ernie Ball signature model JP Bariotone...but sound is epic in this song !!!

[metallscreamo]

siker

[helmifazrian]

DT RULEZZ THE UNIVERSE..... \m/

[ActingAnimal]

This is maybe the first moment when John tunes his guitar on his own since Images And Words! :P

[Aleximental]

Best live dvd ever ! Octavarium is the greatest album I ever heard !

[marshalladdict96]

I've never heard a better guitar tone from Petrucci. This is awesome. Deserves more views.

[SamehSamirHmdy]

Perfect!

[langtoon]

Fabulous post - thanks for sharing...

[YORURAITO]

Muito bom !! XD

[TheMarcelus11]

This song is beautiful!

[pinkfloydrule27]

I never really dug this track much. But I saw them play it live a month ago and am now addicted.

[kwakwanews]

man... i cry in here....

[InsaneDrumer18]

of course portnoy was the "real" frontman of the band, james only knows how to sing, kinda.

everything else he does is a total bullshit

[steenje]

Drummer could do with another bass drum though. Perhaps another string on jp's guitar?

Think how even more awsome they could sound!!

[NeedHeadMusic]

I'm losing all my LIPSTICKS? I always understand that

[RododeleoN]

@NeedHeadMusic LOL!!!

[qwertyseba]

hahaha you can see the 8 pool ball on the left bass drum

[tweak666616]

perfection wow

[sosweet666]

The tone of JP is soooooooooooo awesome!!!!

[karterokiller]

fuuckk !!!! excelente !!!!!!! maldicion ! si que es buena

[CaMeRoNf0909]

"tear down these walls" pink floyd reference?hmm..

[spherecode]

I was there. No words.

[FCValle]

better then porn

[keselekes]

really, as good as the studio version

[3dg3dd]

epic ending

[3dg3dd]

love it

[Atchim1234]

Intro - A - B - Chorus - A - B - Chorus - C - Solo ( Just like A ) - B - Chorus - Ending

Intro - 6/8

A - 3 6/8 1 5/8 3 6/8 1 5/8 (...)

B - 6/8

Chorus - 6/8

C - 2 5/8 1 6/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 6/8 2 5/8 1 6/8 1 5/8 8 3/8

Ending - 6/8

DT likes 6/8 a lot. When trying to count on many odd time signatures, always try couting 6/8 first when it comes to DT. Count of Tuscany is nearly equal.

[TheSchwank]

@Atchim1234

I agree, I've often thought when listening that they do a lot in 6/8 and 3/4 timing. It's kind of like their 4/4.

[MarianOctavarium]

@Atchim1234 Who fucking cares !?

[rgarrow87]

@Atchim1234 Actually being mathematically ironic all songs from octivarium were recorded in 5/8 including this one. They might break into other time signatures for bits but its primarily 5/8.

[Maxarcc]

The musicianship of dream theater is unbelevable. every single one of them.

[EvilSkeltos]

I love this song! It's fairly ahort for a DT song but it's amazing 

[flipedup]

that sounds exactly like teh studio version.. even labrie... fucking great!!!

[MiizzaJimMustaine666]

ultimamente me eh enamorado mucho de dream theater, encuentro mucho potencial en ellos, son heniales & podria llamarlos el plink floyd del metal

[Paeddyful]

they should've made the keyboard a little less loud in the beginning.

But who am I to complain about dream theater lol

[88swordmaster]

maybe best DT' song...

guys, some1 can tell me another metal band to listen? my favourite are : Dream Theater (: , Tool, Meshuggah, Dissection and Bathory!

Tnkz a lot

[Cwoka94]

@88swordmaster well since it looks like your up for some progressive metal check out circus maximus, quuensryche, fates warning, shadow gallery, darkwater, redemption, section A, riverside, threshold, liquid tension experiment and john petrucci's solo album suspended animation

[88swordmaster]

@Cwoka94 I will do brotha... tnkz (:

[nothingisviridian]

I love the Halloween pumpkin on one of the two stands Petrucci has :D

[krolMtz]

who is the idiot who does not like it

[kaynewarrior]

@krolMtz There's two of them!!!! Kill'em!!!

[perilio]

Intro is amazing

[bitterbum1]

usually you see song with "amazing guitar" or a sick keyboard. This song, or Dream Theater in general, have the best instrumentals all around plus a great singer, and I LOVE IT

[bitterbum1]

best fucking guitar intro

[YoutoobHatesRyan]

Portnoy Owns... One of the top 3 drummers in the world.

[ryankon518]

2 people are deaf, I'm sorry you can't experience the awesomeness that is dream theater.

[dudaspriest11]

JP makes tuning a guitar sound awesome. that takes skill

[amithabajan2]

I typed these Walls in on YouTube and it fucking came with miley fucking Cyrus. What an epic song.

[ChrisCheneyIsGod]

Petrucci is amazing..but what the fuck was he thinking when he wore that hahah.

[kaladost]

I'd kill my puppy for this guitar tone...god

[aphoticritual]

my god... when i heard this song it brought a tear to my eye... this has to be one of the best songs i have ever heard in my life... man this song is so powerful... i luv DT and JP is by far the father of modern progressive rock/metal... and thats true... who the hell needs 4/4 when u can manipulate 6/4 and 5/4 like that lol... jkjk... 4/4 is ok in small doses lol...

[DTxOctavariumx]

@aphoticritual This is 6/8

[Meph761]

@DTxOctavariumx Theres a fair bit of 5/8 thrown in.

[DTxOctavariumx]

@Meph761 Yeah. But the predlude and verses are in 6/8.

[Meph761]

@DTxOctavariumx Actually its constantly changing during the verses, I recently covered it at college. It's something like three bars of 6/8 and one of 5/8, and repeat.

[Ratkill9000]

who is the justin bieber bastard that thumbs this song down?

[egbt4]

"then petrucci said,let there be god..."

[jdjb411]

I don't think mike can remember how to play a 4/4 beat anymore hahaha

[Blargaha]

@jdjb411 but who needs 4/4:)?

[fernetsrumom]

Did Mike Portnoy at 1:34 miss to hit snare drum ?

If so, I´m so happy, because it happened to me several times at gigs, so then I know that it happens to my idol too. :)

[aspiracpor]

great!

[Kazept9]

1 Person doesn't have anyone to tear down his walls.

[keran10]

@Kazept9

hahaha, awesome!

[bitterbum1]

this is the type of song where you hear the recording and you're like "that's to good for them to really be able to play," but then you watch this video

[ClassicColtCabana]

This song is so epic, but then again everything DT does is Epic.

Gonna miss Portnoy....

[Jerosifoam]

Petrucci's hair <3 :]

I swear James buys all his clothes from the plus size ladies section of target. <3 (No offense James your voice makes up for it.)

I love this song!

[jeay90]

wooooow one of my favs

[DtRockstar1]

I really wish I could have seen them play this song live when I went to see them on that tour. This has always been my favorite song on that album.

[xavierkayser]

how can I get this bootleg?

[SebaL001]

a waaaaay betta than the album version !

i am still discovering this band and after watching this i pissed my pants !

[retardinckorperated]

dear Mr. Portnoy, i love you and all but is it necessary to have 2 drumsets on stage?

[PurpleSpaceTrucker]

@retardinckorperated yes it is

[weirdo3759]

@retardinckorperated i am not mike but as a drummer of ridiculousness (not in the talent department though) it is

[MadGodful]

James Labrie!!!!!!!

[Krupkil1er]

i heard they like boys

[passion4drums]

RIP

[YaMamStudios]

god bless old dream theater. may there music become childhood icons and example. i wish the luck without mike

[vonne25000]

@YaMamStudios what do you mean without mike?

[YaMamStudios]

@vonne25000 he left this summer look up on google for dream theater mike portonoy news you will fine an article or two... its a sad time

[TheThim51]

that low A is BEASTLY

[kdoubleg]

no what no one ever complements the keyboard so im going to great keyboard, its actually quite important in this song

[NationZane]

You know im glad avenged sevenfold got mike as their new drummer, he kicks so much ass!

[Bigboy4lyf12]

@NationZane not their new drummer but stole him for an album and tour =]

[VownV]

this is without a doubt one of Dream Theaters best live perfomances:

perfectly mixed and this intro... I'm still shivering!

[felipesk824]

john petrucci is the best !!!!

[lexmark99099]

The intro was perfect by John

[fernievidal]

Band of the century :)

[TheNolanFest]

@fernievidal band of both centuries ;)

[dacuttingedge]

This is currently one of 'the' best rock ballads ever written. JP is a genius! \\m//

[Spedeable]

@dacuttingedge ballad?

[MrPogeymanz]

@dacuttingedge All the best rock ballads are by progressive bands. 'Nuff Said

[aggguy666]

[sacopelota]

[flyboy3d]
