Weird arrangement and cutting.. I have heard this song so many times on the record, so listening to this "shortened" version was just weird.. Something was missing..
the main difference between portnoy and ulrich is that portnoy is a mussician, lars is a metronome drummer. Metallica wishes they played and componed as DT guys did at 7 years old.
We are a band influenced by Dream Theater. We would appreciate if you listened to our song and maybe left a comment :D Every view means a lot to us! Please don't mark this as spam, we are only trying to spread our music :)
It's a bit strange - when I listen to them on the CD or a music player, I get the image in my head of James beng a thin, short hippie type, simply due to the timbre of his voice. Though, this may be due to all the Yes I listen to. And what's going on with that ant?!?
@TheLedGuitarist I really though it was metallica, but something was too much awsome on this song, then I heard LaBrie's voice at 1:08 and realized why it was so awsome, it was Dream Theater not metallica ^^ (nothing against metallica, I'm a huge fan of them too)
I can't help but think that Myung doesn't really fit into this video: everyone else is really going for it, they look kinda aggressive, and then John is just his calm, placid self. still an awesome song and video though.
they cut almost 2 minutes from this song, stupid mtv and radio ruin everything if you're not going to play the entire song don't play it at all, you don't ever here them cut out top 40 crap.
WHY DREAM THEATER IS SO HUGELY UNDERRATED??? There isn't ANY band with more skill, more feeling in playing music. DREAM THEATER is the band what deserves those 300 million views and deserves to be on the top of the world, not Justin ''Autotune'' Bieber.
@MCAmaZ DT isnt for anyone....even for some rockers and metalheads its not anm understandable music. its complex the songs are long and the lyrics are metaphoric and that very often. so dont expect everyone to be inteligent. DT is for the intelectual metalheads ;) greetings from a devoted DT fan from albania.
@Hertsman50 Correct. Because there is no *best* in anything. The concept of best is subjective and whenever someone makes a statement of something being the best, it is always based on his or someone else's opinion.
@SpartanLaserCanon It really depends on which style Cuz with DT, I don't hear nothing that can be concidered as "Thrash". I hear influences of bands like Rush, Pink Floyd, Yes and other progressive rock bands but brough on the more "heavy" side. I just went on wikipedia and read about progressive metal and there's a fact that says: " Dream Theater took elements of progressive rock groups [...] and merged them with heavy metal styles associated with bands like Judas Priest and Black Sabbath[...]
@TheRandomDestruction But in metal terms, The Beatles didn't influence anyone. Sabbath and Led Zep influenced the metal genre in 2 totally different ways, leading to all the genres we have today.
metallica is thrash metal. this is progressive metal. :s this is much more technical where as metallica is more headbanging. im not saying metallica arent as good. im a metallica fan. it just that theyre different genres
@DimmuBorgirification The main riff does sound Metallica-ish and seeing as john petrucci has said james hetfield is one of his biggest influences it makes sense
@funkymunky6996 All Metallica riffs are exactly the same. Doesn't sound anything like Metallica. I'd class it as 'heavy Rush' since Alex Lifeson is his biggest influence.....
@TheLedGuitarist It may sound a bit like metallica.. but kirk or lars would never be able to play this music ... and kirk playing that solo ? ish :P but i love metallica they got me in to metal man!
@TheLedGuitarist haha metallica doesent have this kindda riffs , metallicas are much easier , if you play you would know this is not metallica-ish..xD
This is an aberration... Why oh why in the name of God couldn't they leave the whole song as it really is? This way it loses all the flow. Every change in the song comes prematurely and, in general, it spoils a work of art...
You say Taylor Swift, I say Hollywood Undead You say Lady Gaga, I say Skillet You say Miley Cyrus, I say Slipknot You say T-Pain, I say Breaking Benjamin You say Eminem, I say Avenged Sevenfold You say Jonas Brother, I say Papa Roach You say Flowers, I say Rise Against 92% of teens have turned to pop and hip-hop. If you are part of the 8% that still listens to real music, copy and paste this message to 5 other videos. DONT LET METAL DIE !
@TheMikemx Metallica ... with Keys !!! Vocals sound very Hetfield ... Listen this band for the first time . Great musicians !!... but too technical perhaps
For me track the current protection system ineffective attack music because many groups abusing forces. Here influences meet: Metallica, Korn and Rammstein(imm : links , benz-sarc. comb) not very enlightening first audition because I read some posts simultaneously. If i reason congrat.
