@Mullenfreek He probably owned the rights of the song that was on the album 'images and word'. And since everybody in the band composed it, I guess everybody can record a version of it on their own and not have any trouble with copyrights
@SilverSurfer102 Actually, Rudess didn't play on Images & Words, and likely doesn't own any copyrights to the songs (that would be Kevin Moore, the former keyboardist who co-wrote much of the material for I&W).
After seeing some of the 'hit' youtube keyboard artists' videos, and reading the comments on how good he/she was, it just didn't feel right. Then I came here and relistened to this. I know why now.
First time I've ever heared of him, I had the same thoughts about him. But when I saw his legendary piano solo, I was blown away, literally. Since that day I BELIEVE. He is the Jehova of music.
This is the one thing that I can't stand about Jordan, he plays too fast... even in ballads. At first I thought that this was the wrong song since he just did a giant solo at the beginning.
@usernamessuck58 This of course, is opinion? Otherwise, here comes a YouTube argument, everyone, prepare the poor grammar and accusations about people's sexuality, along with comments about their mother's well-being. However, if this is just your opinion, I disagree, let's go our separate ways.
@JimMorrisonAbrams I know what you mean! It irritates me too. There is no doubt that JR plays fast, even during ballads, as shown here and in certain parts of Metropolis Pt. 2, and he even has the fastest keyboard player Guinness record. So that is fact. But playing too fast and such is all opinion.
As I have already said, this song is so divine... words can't describe it... if I had to pick one word to describe this it would be indescribable. Either that... or, I'd say it' like... IT'S LIKE GOD CUMMING IN MY EARS!!!
You know....I really dont appreciate people who are only coming on claiming certain pianists and keyboard players are better than Rudess.....leave comments about the song your currently listening to. Btw its amazing:D
@FearlessSpinner I agree with you, Jordan is the best keybordist for this generations but... Keith Emerson is the BEST of the BEST, Keith IS the Prog Rock keybordist for all time. Jordan is one of my fav. ones too, long live to rudess!!!!
@ElIndividuo13 You tell the truth...Keith Emerson smoked little light touch faggot rudess and always played the real piano. Not to mention how he manhandles a hammond. A physical and genious prodigy was he.
@ElIndividuo13 As far as pure technical playing I say Jordan beats out Keith. Don't get me wrong I love Keith Emerson's playing but Jordan definitely beats him in as far as technical aspects. Keith is damn close but I don't know how easily he could play some of Rudess's works and I think Rudess could definitely play Emerson's.
i mean,yeah he's good,but seriously alot of classical pianists are far more talanted. anyway there's no such thing best or worst in music,it's only matter of personal taste.
@FearlessSpinner oh soory i'm so used to annoying people who think they are supreme musicians and comparing players with each other,that i haven't spotted the humor in your comment..i happy you agree with me=]
@AnerStroz94 Yup i was trying to do one of the "THE BEST EVER" comments but with the hidden meaning of that there is no wrong or right.
Im a musician myself,so i guess i can say im aware that there is no best what so ever.Only the own taste determines whats best but thats what you already said
@FearlessSpinner yep,i'm a musician too,also mainly a pianist,and the society always make me feel like there's a competition,making me forget what music's all about. so yeah,you can say that one player has a better technique then another one,but people can't just say "hes better"..frustrating.
@patapirate haha you're wrong!I know a hell lot about classical music but i was just stating my personal opinion.Rachmaninov was great but for me, Rudess is better...So each to his own i guess =)
An Ignorant girlfriend told me that - well, when Jonas Bothers create a song with the beauty and wonders of 10 seconds of this song, they will become real man!
I just wanna say that Jordan is the final Element of Dream Theater...Thank you Dream Theater for the Lifetime Inspiration you gave me/us!
@IcaroPaivaOfficial Nice. I love when people accuse someone of stealing a song, when the song that 'stole' something came out before the band that got something 'stolen' from it was even around. It's also hilarious when people say that someone (Think Coldplay with Viva la Vida) 'stole' something that actually turns out to be classical music
Once again Rudess manages to defy the laws of physics and redefine what is possible in music as well as expanding our minds and horizons. I can't speak highly enough of this man.
you know i think its a great thing that jordan does this sort of thing away from DT. He can do things he wants to tackle whether its mega complex and heavy like DT, or this. Piano in its basic form and just thrash out whatever his soul wants with no restrictions and then when DT calls, its back to the DT sound and he is artistically refreshed and contented and ready to conform to the DT sound again. Excellent work, JR.
this brings tears to my eyes.
