The guitar solo is definitely not one of those cookie cutter solos with the same pattern as 3 guitar solos people copy from Slash. It's a good original solo.
There's nothing you can say to me to make things how they used to be again / I have built a better life without your lies / And I will not be broken... such good lyrics.
LOL Did anyone else think the beginning of this vid was a tribute to Rush's Stick it Out video with the dude tied to the chair? I know that the bass player is a Rush fan.
@stghunt they rock 7 string axes the bassist has a 6 string. i looked too :( best bet is to just pop ur axe into drop a and start trying different sweeps cuz i kno most of this is major/minor apeggios. u can always play ur mp3 format threw vlc and slow it down so u can hear it better. good luck buddy.
I don't know what's happening in the music world, but this short hair thing is really ridiculous!! It is much more than just playing music, it is also showmanship and looking like a regular old normal "JOE" is NOT cool! It makes me care less about watching you even though your music is good. But I will say that you really are an extension (if you will) of Dream Theatre. All you would need to do is hire their lead singer and I would never know it was a different band!
@lubear2003 Playing music on stage is not just about playing good... it is about the showmanship also! Otherwise it is boring. And it isn't just hair... it's just a part of the show and what you do in that show that will get people back out to see you. Also, I can't stand bands that just stand there like a totem-pole. I could have stayed home and listened to my stereo! I AM glad to hear he grew his hair back... but what about the guitarist who stands on the right? He looks like my DAD!! Wow...
this is my least favourite song from the origins of run haha, im surprised they chose this one for a video. on a whole, i thought that the origins of ruins was a great album, anyone who likes this song will absolutely LOVE the album, and you might love the album if you dont like this song.
check them out, give them more support, and the credit they deserve!
the Origins Of Ruin cd IS one of the finest moments ever- prog metal , metal , whatever!!! and this song is a wonder to me. all Redemption cds featuring Ray Alder are utterly compelling, the songwriting and expression are so convincing.
I just learned that Nick Van Dyk was recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a particularly bad form of blood cancer which is generally considered incurable and which has a five-year survival rate of 34%.
I don't understand how anyone can think the lyrics are lame, even if some of the vocal comments are bad enough lol. The lyrics are very generally very emotional and heartfelt, and Nick obviously has a heart. Don't take it personal anyone :-) I love this band so much in every way.
I think that some people just are not used to these types of lyrics. Usually its just Dungens and Dragons for these bands. Personaly I like these lyrics a lot more
@kagruakarate With prog metal, the whole Dungeons-&-Dragons-lyrics pattern seems to dissolve. I've yet to come across a prog. band that did that. You see that a lot in power metal though xP
This is one amazing band - especially when you consider that Nicolas Van Dyk is only a part time musician. His day job is senior executive at Disney!!!
alder is a real prog vocalist.....any other singer would have hit typical unoriginal notes but alder takes it a step further and really makes the highs and lows interesting ....his phrasing on the lyrics is really interesting.......amazing band......
is there anywhere that I can download any songs from Redemption? I've loved the work of Ray Alder in Fates Warning and he sounds amazing with Redemption.
Nik plays keyboard too, and lets just say Ray Alder is good (amazing actually) at what he DOES do. I dont really mind that he cant hit those notes high notes that shatter glass anymore, still got a great voice.
Theyre ok... but i just can't help but feeling that the singer doesnt fit... It's like if Metallica suddenly hired a banjo player.. he just doesnt seem right. I mean, he's good, but its the wrong sound i feel...
Why would he say that?...As much as I love Redemption..they and no other prog metal band hold a candle to Fates Warning...That was just a stupid comment you made
Que buena, no había visto videos de estos locos. Maldita sea, ahora que encontré esto se me ocurre meterme a la página de Redemption y ahí hay más videos jajaja... estos gringos no me entenderán, mejor...
Have you ever heard of andromeda or spheric universe experience or circus maximus.. all badass prog bands that don't sound like labrie they all fucking jamm and they love what they do doesnt matter whos better than who just have fun-- lates
That was a long time ago, but the neverending touring with DT and the re-injury he suffered in 2000 hace kept him from singing with his full capacitiy in the last years. However i prefer him and not Alder, though he is great too.
Great Band - live as on record - this song may not have the best vocal lines but Ray is a GREAT vocalist - at least much better than LaBrie of DT for example...
Hmm... i doubt that he is better than LaBrie. There is no comoparison point. At least LaBrie's range is wider. However alder's vocals sound fuller than James'. I think you cant compare them if you are talking about LaBrie in past recent years ( 2000-2007) because, this year, James is back and his voice is finally healed from the vocal chords he broke in cuba 14 years ago.
I like Dream Theater really much and I like the voice of LaBrie on the stuido Albums and the Ayreon albums. But in the recent years, his vocals (hearable on the live albums, there are plenty of them) got really aweful. Just compare "Live Scenes from New York! and "Chaos in Motion". So if he says, Ray is today better than LaBrie, I would agree with him. If LaBrie could sing like 10 years ago, they would be pretty equal and it would be a matter of taste
True, but you can't attribute LaBrie's sucking to him personally. He's never sucked really. He had to go to Cuba and get stupid food poisoning and rupture his stupid vocal cords.
I can't say his voice has completely been destroyed tho`.. sure, his 'live'-sounds has gone pretty weird at times, but it has an enjoyable, and certainly proggy style too. Can't say I don't like the samples from him singing at DT's upcoming album either.
I`ll be going to a DT-concert soon, so I guess I`ll find out for myself. You're probarbly right, tho`. He doesn't hit the high notes a lot in Train of Thought either..
To be fair... Ray isn't the same vocalist he was in 1991 or 1994. He was a powerhouse on Inside Out!! As for the Labrie comparison...oddly enough, I think Dream Theater could benefit from a vocalist like Ray who has a FULL voice that's full of depth...Labrie has a tendency to be thin and nasally with no bottom end--sort of like a surround sound system with the subwoofer turned off. When Dream Theater gets heavy and aggressive, I think someone like Ray would serve them well.
I have all of their cds and love 'em, and I just learned today, 7 months after the fact, that they have a video. SO? how many times has it been shown on Headbangers ball? None? you probably say? Thought not, I'm probably thinking. They need a metal music channel for other metal styles and not just for AHH AHH AAGGHHJHHH!!! BBBLLLAAAAAGHHHH!
AWSOME!!! in every aspect i saw them live with DT in toronto canada thought they nailed evverything ...... and one more thing i dont care some of you have said gorge lopez in sings great live
These guys ROCK! I think "Origins of Ruin" is one of the best CD's of 2007 so far. Great Progressive band. These guys were just as awesome as Dream Theater!
Once i read that they were opening for Dream Theater i got their two well known (relatively) albums. I loved them both, in fact, if they were not opening for DT i would have seen their show as well. They are not DT, but they are very good. P.S. Into Eternity had its moments, very few moments but they had a couple, nothing that would lead me to get their cd's.
These guys are pretty good, way better than into eternity. Saw them both open for dream theater in Milwaukee a few months ago. Everybody was making fun of into eternity, but most people actually hung around and listened to these guys.
Hegulator, I saw DT, IE, and Red. too, at Buffalo. I liked IE better cuz I've heard their music before, and I was hearing Red's stuff for the first time.
I saw them on the last stop on the U.S tour with Dream Theater i think it was the 26th, i wasn't a huge fan of there music i guess im the only one who likes into Eternity, the people i went with said that they sounded like a bad cliche dream theater, idk i just wasn't a huge fan of them.
august 18th they were sick im pretty sure a lot of people liked them that show made me do a little more research
into eternity in the other hand is probably one of the worst bands i've ever heard in my young life the singer is really bad.
even if this guy from redemption had throat problems i at least give him a credit for trying his best to put on a decent show and not sound like a devil fag like the into eternity singer
I JUST SAW THEM IN BOSTON WITH DREAM THEATER!! it was pretty shitty! the mix was bad, and the singer was singing way out of tune! i donn't know what was wrong with him! he just didn't seem to find the pocket! all in all they were not that great, kind of boring but they sound great on cd!!
dude, the singer obviously had no voice. He lost it somehow. I was at the show the night after, in wallingford and he could hardly talk yet he seemed to manage decently with actually singing.
Yo... I HATE the singer... he sucks... the rest of the band I enjoy... but the singer blows. I too was at the concert. If they had into eternity's singer, theyd be the best haha
Kowalski and Riel wll be in the car at 8:00 am tomorrow driving from Winnipeg to Minneapolis to see Redemption! We are ready to rock!!! haha...Ray Alder is the king of vocals!
I saw them lastnight also. In Kansas City. Redemption impressed the hell out of me. I went an bought both cd's with Ray on vocals. The man still has it.
I saw them live when they came to Austin with Into Eternity and Dream Theater, all 3 kicked ass! Shaun Andrews has become one of my favorite bassists now.
WOW what a great video and a fantastic band. I was lucky to see them live in Phoenix with Dream Theater....RAY ALDER and Bernie Versailles rule!! I hope this gets the band exposed more.
Whoa, this is intense...Repo Man is always intense! Why don't they just turn the lamp off in the background? Is that what's driving the chick crazy? Good job, bro-sky!
Would have been nice if the intro and bridge weren't cut short, but awesome nonetheless. I hope the single gets the band some more success. You all deserve it!
The guitar solo is definitely not one of those cookie cutter solos with the same pattern as 3 guitar solos people copy from Slash. It's a good original solo.

These guys are pretty good, way better than into eternity. Saw them both open for dream theater in Milwaukee a few months ago. Everybody was making fun of into eternity, but most people actually hung around and listened to these guys.

Hegulator, I saw DT, IE, and Red. too, at Buffalo. I liked IE better cuz I've heard their music before, and I was hearing Red's stuff for the first time.
DT creamed both of course :)

I saw them on the last stop on the U.S tour with Dream Theater i think it was the 26th, i wasn't a huge fan of there music i guess im the only one who likes into Eternity, the people i went with said that they sounded like a bad cliche dream theater, idk i just wasn't a huge fan of them.

august 18th they were sick im pretty sure a lot of people liked them that show made me do a little more research
into eternity in the other hand is probably one of the worst bands i've ever heard in my young life the singer is really bad.
even if this guy from redemption had throat problems i at least give him a credit for trying his best to put on a decent show and not sound like a devil fag like the into eternity singer

They opened for DT on the 21st... an almost no one liked them... he would ask people to stand up/clap, no one would.

Didnt sound too good when I saw them either. Too bad, just another cliche 'prog' band. Oh well.

Saw them at Jones Beach 25th, shitty sound and Ray was having a hard time with his voice! Great band otherwise! Listen to Origins of Ruin.

I JUST SAW THEM IN BOSTON WITH DREAM THEATER!! it was pretty shitty! the mix was bad, and the singer was singing way out of tune! i donn't know what was wrong with him! he just didn't seem to find the pocket! all in all they were not that great, kind of boring but they sound great on cd!!

dude, the singer obviously had no voice. He lost it somehow. I was at the show the night after, in wallingford and he could hardly talk yet he seemed to manage decently with actually singing.

Yo... I HATE the singer... he sucks... the rest of the band I enjoy... but the singer blows. I too was at the concert. If they had into eternity's singer, theyd be the best haha

Redemption was great in Cleveland... Ray Alder had a tough time with his voice, though.

They were amazing when i saw them last night in cleveland with dream theater. Redemption is one of the best prog bands out there.

These guys really impressed the hell out of me. I caught them in Chicago last night w/ Dream Theater. Even through a shit mix, they really shined.

Whoa, this is intense...Repo Man is always intense! Why don't they just turn the lamp off in the background? Is that what's driving the chick crazy? Good job, bro-sky!

Would have been nice if the intro and bridge weren't cut short, but awesome nonetheless. I hope the single gets the band some more success. You all deserve it!

Great band, both albums with Ray are killer shit. Favorite album for this year so far. I wish Ray was my daddy, not in the perverted way.

great band, great song, but definately not the best on the origins of ruin, probably picked for length.
