Dream Theater - Twelve-step Suite

[gijs108]

these guys are great!!!!!!!!

[hejeval777]

This is the proof that without Portnoy DT is... something else, bad or good, I still don't know.

[Aloesdius]

was sie labern xDD

[DIEGO7CUERDAS]

I just play the whole thing in drums!

Oh my god my legs are dead

[LMTR14]

spoiler: THE LAST 3 STEP SUCK ASS

[Artakserksis]

@LMTR14 spoiler: you suck dicks

[MlKEPORNTOY]

Don't cross the crooked step.

[acgijzen]

When i play this at home i always put Mirror as the first song like an overture.

[SebaChannel]

repentance is one of the best DT songs

its my drug

[The1Samelt]

@SebaChannel Whole song is my drug. But Most Glass Prison and Shattered Fortress

[acario100]

@The1Samelt what about Root of All Evil? Where does that rank?

[themrmustazz]

Hey man, the various links between songs seem to be a bit crappy. Couldn't you make something more than a volume mix edit? For example, after "open" of The glass prison, u should've put directly the blast beat.

[The1Samelt]

Omg I cant imagine live without this song :S . My Fav Song. Love U Portnoy

[blackhoodfalls]

Thank you so much for posting the Suite in its entirety.

[YouLikeDoNow]

The fuzzy bit at the beginning is also at the end of Scenes From A Memory

[Kid12Ghost]

@YouLikeDoNow Yea. They do something like that in every DT album, like in "The Root of All Evil" if you listen closly you can hear footsteps from Scenes from a memory.

[andreasbld187]

Wonderful Video!!! Thanks man for it... :D

[TheConnord12]

mike portnoys wearing a king crimson shirt!!!!! :DDDDD check them out! great prog band!!!

[dudaspriest11]

a downloadable version of this entire masterpiece would be much abliged however i understand that it could potentially take you years to upload it to a dl site, thanks for the listen though!

[WadeTWilson]

@dudaspriest11 You can use an add-on to download the mp3 of this video. Look for YouTube add-ons ('Download mp3 and such) if you really want a downloaded version.

Hope I helped.

[dudaspriest11]

@WadeTWilson thanks so much! this helped alot man, cheers!

[WadeTWilson]

@dudaspriest11 You're welcome :p

[bugworrall]

Guitar Hero III with this track.

One hour of flaming-finger goodness.

Fund it.

[SuperCocofish]

Is it weird that I think it sounds better on 480p than on 1080p?

[MetalHeadHellYeah]

@SuperCocofish yes

[Nexthendrix2112]

Yes! Thank you for putting them all together for us!

[Kafixis1]

ONE M0:31RE TIME!!!

[supercj8899]

To think, Dream Theater is twice the power and strength that dragonforce is... and they dont speed up their songs.

[stakri]

going to see dt live in helsinki on monday...disappointed of the setlists I've seen on the net so far...they are not punishing portnoy for not playing any song off the twelve step suite, they are punishing us the fans...

[hackerslayer666]

Correct me if im wrong but as I know the twelve step suite begins with the mirror of Awake.

[supercj8899]

@hackerslayer666 Thats the intro, or prequel maybe, its not so much included as part of the twelve step suite.

[savman765]

Wow theater:

leBrie: tuaren

Petrucci: werewolf

myung: goblin

rudess: troll

myung: goblin

if u look at them it looks like they are different wow characters

[bogdantheislander]

@savman765 in your fantasist Wow Theater there are 2 bassists and no drummer ? If you wanted to say Portnoy's a goblin no, just no ....remember there are humans in the game too ...I would rather see Petrucci and Portnoy both as worgens with the ability to turn back into human form...

[themrmustazz]

@bogdantheislander as if Rudess is human... meh he's more alien than the others

[Scratch47]

'I live with serenity now...not self righteous hate'. Wow. Great line, and thanks for putting this up.

[EXHellfire]

where did mr taciturn's body go?

[MonsterAppleNZ]

John Myung looks like an egg!

[McRetard]

Listening to this Twelve-step Suite as a whole is much greater than the sum of its parts.

[Malookoo008]

@McRetard

I like to think that it is just one song. The most awesome song ever.

[zachcd390119]

About the dislikes, I don't understand why they'd be there. The only reason to watch this video is if you really want to hear a lot of Dream Theater, so you obviously like them to begin with. Internet trolls ugh

[akirokatari]

@zachcd390119 the 3 dislike is probably some misstake, i did sometime when im not concentrate lol

[EXHellfire]

@zachcd390119 Well, yeah, most of the dislikes in youtube are due to the existence of trolls. They are everywhere, even behind you =0

[veldringr]

It's the 12-step ear orgasm !

[zonic26]

@MrTacoFly Linkin Park sounds like Dream Theater? then again Hybrid Theory was released a year before SDOIT, which reminds me the album is 10 years old this year and Images And Words is 20 years old

[Ginbat86]

Thanks for sharing!!!!

Great suite!!!!!!

[Shotgunmerc]

"where there is discord, I may bring harmony"

Sounds like Portnoy is a brony to me...

[serinofdarkness]

@Shotgunmerc i thought the same but season 2 of MLP came after that song

(i don't have a perfect english)

[SuperCocofish]

@Shotgunmerc Actually, that line comes from the Prayer of Saint Francis, which was issued in a modified form in the Alcholics Anonymous book, "Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions." Portnoy included some of its lines in "The Shattered Fortress."

[JBarracudaL]

Even as an Atheist who's dealt with serious alcoholism, this suite just blows me away. It's fucking bold.

[qwertyseba]

The 12 R. Mike, you are a master.

[Kyuubikku]

Hey... Is it just me, or do all of the steps start with an R?

[SkeebleShark]

@Kyuubikku Just you..

[LPmarkac]

@Kyuubikku Not only R but RE. D:

[slashy04]

@Kyuubikku just you....idiot

[supercj8899]

@slashy04 They all have re at the beginning, so you're the idiot, dumbass...

[slashy04]

@supercj8899 this just proves you're retarded too....... you don't get it do you.......

[EXHellfire]

@Kyuubikku It's just your imagination

[gijs108]

TNXS!!!!!!!!!



[Kapuzina1337]

20:24 wtf so good

[AykinSkywalker]

Fucking Awesome! Thank You!

[MlKEPORNTOY]

12 best Dream Theater songs

[supercj8899]

@MlKEPORNTOY Mike porn toy? Wtf kinda name is that....

[fimbulwinterjr]

@supercj8899 hahahahaha.....

OMG... It's terrible!!!

[danielslayer1]

@5:53

[Sduibek]

It's even better when you start it with The Mirror (kind of the intro track to this)

[mikcor00]

i've been clean and sober for 6 yrs and i thought i would never get the intense RUSH again....untill now!

[walabalabingbong]

This is what I listen to when I study for Physics :D

[Powerslave1123]

@walabalabingbong DOOD same here, physics + DT = amazing lol

[whenyoupound]

Hearing this I thank god Mike didn't leave an album earlier....

[sourcegamer101]

5:53 and 20:24

[JWPMAN1]

Shitty..Just listened to the whole song and saw there was 1080p...

[ProggyDrummer]

@JWPMAN1 thanks for the heads up

[JWPMAN1]

@ProggyDrummer your welcome

[DiegoScagliarini]

Just one word... EPIC.

[Carbazi]

ONE M0:00RE TIME!!!

[Carbazi]

And Rebecca Black calls herself musican....

[wilky1189]

@Carbazi when did she ever do that?

[mcscheijgrond79]

SOUNDS KINDA LIKE DEMO/LIVE VERSIONS I LIKE ITTTTT

[mcscheijgrond79]

ah i see SO THIS IS A COMPILATION?? WHO COMPILATED? DT? OR A YOUTUBE USER/ BUT VERRRYYY NICE DT ROCKS

[nanoload]

@mcscheijgrond79 It's actually one piece spreaded over many releases, you can hear that this is infact one song if you listen carefully.

[mcscheijgrond79]

eh im DT fan, but i dont know this album/mix/video? is it live? a bootleg? a remix for youtube?/

[Wilhiemthe2nd]

@mcscheijgrond79 The 12-Step-Suite contains these 5 songs before you. its a compliation organised by Mike Portnoy- before he left. i believe there is a 12-step-suite edition of this out there, buts a lot more worth it to buy the ablums they came from. (Six Degress of Inner Turbulence, Train of Thought, Octavarium, Systematic Chaos, and Black Clouds and Sliver Linings, in that order)

[nanoload]

@mcscheijgrond79 it's one song. it was devided to 5 parts over 5 albums.

[supercj8899]

@nanoload It wasnt exactly one song to begin with, portnoy wrote it as he went.

[nanoload]

@supercj8899 I'm afraid you're wrong buddy, Portnoy wrote the suite(that is the lyrics of the suite) all at once. The music for each part though, was written through the jams DT had when writing each album, just like they write the music for any other song. BUT, DT had focused on continuation between the parts so it would be one song, for example the last few bars of the first part and the first few of the second are identical. Also note the recurring motives through out the suite.

[jimifriedman18]

I love how The shattered Fortress is basically all of the steps put into one song. It's probably one of their best songs.

[kazekiri87]

Every time I have to type some sort of writing at home, I play this now.

[MikeJunior94]

behold, the floating face of John Myung

[walabalabingbong]

I finished 4 calculus problems to this :D

[nanoload]

I finished 12 math exercises listening to this

[DarkFalcon2012]

And I thought I was showing myself to be a resistant music listener. It seems that I was wrong.

Anyway, I made it all the way to the end. =D

[annabethc2334]

wow i'm really surpirsed by myself because i didn't fall asleep right in the middle like i thought i would it was interesting which shocked me

[wafflepunkk]

This was incredible. Well done. Love DT.

[LarsJunior18]

i so want to do a cover of this ENTIRE song gonna need some wild cherry pepsi,a piss bag with nose and a whole shit load of sleep along with a camera that can record up to an hour and portnoy's drum kit XD

[Kid12Ghost]

Im getting freaked out at John Myung's floating head at the far left.

[RedPaladin]

Nice!! I was hoping someone would do this!!

[Keela909]

2 people only made it through 11 steps -_-

[zombiearc]

trully a masterpiece.. salute for dream theater !! hope they continue making great song...

[TheBrodeo3833]

Glad someone decided to put these all together, sadly, after I listened to it all - I needed a drink. 

[ognibandyrrah]

Fucking Brilliant....Nothing more to add....

[HarvesterOfBuckets]

Myung is a floating head lol

[Th3Black0men]

2 people miss-clicked and later committed suicide..

[hy7682]

two deaf people heard this song .. no wonder they didnt like it!!

[TheeditorFJComics]

@hy7682 2 DEAF people HEARD? wutt

[kyussfan6]

i raped the re-play button so hard, that i raped it some more.

[jmlc777]

Labrie is wearing a funny wide tie

[ShefMastaRyan]

30:39 reminds me of 9:49

[ShefMastaRyan]

i love how all the "reactions" are incredible

[awokenatmidnight]

bass tabs plz??? haha

[Venefirous]

Dude, I own all these albums and never thought of putting them all together with iTunes, but this is a great idea and thank you for doing it and saving me the trouble

[OMNOMNOMOTRON]

In health class I learned the people smoke drugs to get an intense euphoria.... I got mine right over here.

[UltimoGuitarist2]

Oh MAN that was cool!

[Malookoo008]

There should be a repeat button on this video. No, seriously.

[mysteryrevealedorg]

you are listening about my life looking in from the outside. Thank you for your lives James, Mike, Jordan, John, John. Tears fall as I look at my life from where they saw it. Soon the whole TRUTH will be known. I have just came back from a LONG NIGHT. I am a little tired now. My family is my life. I have the most beautiful wife and two boys. Thank you again. :)TIM

[Xx5tAcHgunxX]

a testament to the beauty and length of some songs, but not to my homework that im still doing after listening to this twice

[ThatCheapDrummer]

26:59 (This is for ME, not some random thing)

[Wahwahfighter]

I listened this 25th times a day.

[ShefMastaRyan]

the piano at the end of root of all evil sounds like octavarium

[NyrockXZX]

@ShefMastaRyan That's because that album is all about coming full circle, Starting in one key, and ending in the same key.

[EXHellfire]

@NyrockXZX Yeah, and Panic Attack would be the start of it, since it doesn't come after Never Enough (I think that was the name of the fourth track)

[SethYoda71]

@ShefMastaRyan each song bleeds into eachother.

[ShefMastaRyan]

this makes doing homework almost fun

[Alexiepower]

@ShefMastaRyan i was just thinking about that lolol

[LarsJunior18]

@ShefMastaRyan funny thing is last year which was my senior i listened to this song during tests,quizes and homework made the class go by fast since my classes were 45 mins long XD

[kazekiri87]

@LarsJunior18 At least you can listen to music during class. All of my classes are 47 minutes, except for one, which is double the amount

[AzNXijun]

This song is just like, load n reload..... Thanks kyledawg92, appreciate it m8

[chocolater101]

Is this DT longest song or is it six degrees of inturbulance#

[kevinkevin04]

@chocolater101 DT's longest song is SDOIT because this is simply a compilation of songs that was continuing from SDOIT to BC&SL.. The songs are interconnected, but not counted as one song..

[ShiftyStealthy]

@SuperCocofish

i agree. portnoy added those little touches to every DT song that give us the fans chills for example he suggested that they get the fans into the studio for the chanting parts of prophets of war. and he was just such a good songwriter in the band and i also loved his sense of humor and passion for the music. i miss him

[razhul04]

Good comment above

[JulianBaynes1]

This is the first time I've listened to the suite in its entirety. Thank you for uploading this.

[LordKruser13]

Twelve Re- Suite

[joluesru1]

Has anybody noticed that each name of the 12 parts start with R?

[juankashi]

@joluesru1 Yes, 2 years ago.

[rodinrombeau]

@joluesru1 This is because the suite is all about the Rehabilitation process, and that starts with "R" =)

[NickHill668]

i saw one of portneys last performences with iron maiden down in cleveland it was a sweet show couldnt hear myung that well though but they still rocked on pull me under and panic attack

[Haku55]

Glass Prison-"Fatal Descent

Spinning around

I've gone too far

To turn back round"

Shattered Fortress-"Fateful ascent

Through darkest fires

I've found the path

To take me higher"

Same tempo. It takes alot for music to make me notice something like that

[rodinrombeau]

@Haku55 Thank you for saying it! I've smiled when I realized this! =D

[lulalely]

i never really noticed that the root of all evil ends with a reference to octavarium. octavarium ends with a reference to the beginning of the root of all evil. quite interesting...

[Jeoandrg]

@lulalely That's because Root of All Evil opens Octavarium (the album), and to end the "meta album", Octavarium (the song) ends the way the album opens

[lulalely]

@Jeoandrg I knew all that stuff about the song octavarium before but i never noticed that there is also an octavarium reference in the root of all evil.

[DuxLikeCheese]

Seriously guys, what've you done with the rest of John Myung?

[Sercan1995]

@DuxLikeCheese hahahaha I see this just now

[chit96]

Portnoy was great, yeah. Mangini is great, yeah. They're both amazing, and awesome virtuosos in the percussion field, they both have a spot in Dream Theater. Quit bitching, Dream Theater is still a great fucking band.

[YoZee1243]

@chit96 true

[TestDolly123]

Nice vid

[Vikck]

I am using this music to get through my homework: Karl Marx the Capital and the The Communist Manifesto...

[MetallicaMadMan666]

@Vikck haha im also using this music to get through my homework: soviet foreign policy

[SuperCocofish]

@Vikck I'm using it to get through a unit review assignment on over 9,000 years of human history. Wish me luck!

[mistersusan1471]

I thought portnoy was a great loss... then I realised mangini is as good if not better so yeah... fuck portnoy!!! :P

[ThePierrasse]

@mistersusan1471 fuck DT who didn't realize that they're the best band in the world and that they need to make a stop for 2-3 years that's only what Portnoy wanted...

[TheRiffCalendar]

@ThePierrasse But then we wouldn't have A Dramatic Turn Of Events.

[ThePierrasse]

@TheRiffCalendar Yes, but it's not their best album of course is it a good one.

[EXHellfire]

@ThePierrasse The funny thing there is, if they had put a little more thought to it, they would've asked Mike if he would really be 5 years in hiatus, and he'd say "Oh, well... I guess no, but a couple of years yes" and then maybe they would've gotten that well deserved break, and then go back to rocking everyone's ass. Still, sad to think it didn't go that way.

[ThePierrasse]

@EXHellfire Thats exactly what I think... And I contradict myself because I actually think that ADTOE sucks.

[supercj8899]

@ThePierrasse Adtoe? Whats that?

[ThePierrasse]

@supercj8899 A Dramatic Turn Of Events.

[Scratch47]

@supercj8899 A Dramatic Turn Of Events, their new album. I myself thoroughly liked it, it felt like more straight hard rock with an personalized emotional and accessible edge - like a cross between Awake and a good version of Falling Into Infinity. It doesn't stick in your mind, but grows on you very pleasingly, and sets a good standard after 3 albums in a row of middleground, derivative, undercooked playing/arrangements (though there are good tracks on all those albums).

[supercj8899]

@Scratch47 Perhaps well get another good 5 or 10 years outta them, because i do kinda like this heavy sorta dark direction theyve been going for.

[Scratch47]

@supercj8899 As long as they keep counterbalancing it with a lighter, thoughtful and emotionally based prog approach like on ADTOE, instead of a a mediocre thinly-spread 'pleasing everyone' one, such as on Six Degrees or Octavarium, then I'll continue to listen.

[purestr99109]

@Scratch47 well of course this whole suite, and a good bit of DT was Portnoy stuff, so we'll just have to see what kind of difference not having MP makes.

[bulpoppro]

@mistersusan1471 no fuck YOU!

[mistersusan1471]

@bulpoppro chill out dude, just expressin my opinion :)
