  • 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..

  • JOHN PETRUCCI  > simphony x

  • me explotó el cerebro.

  • Can´t wait for their next album (the one after A dramatic turn of events). Someone knows when?

    -looking forward to 23.1.2012 DT in Helsinki Jäähalli <3

  • metallica or this? Dream Theater FTW!

  • @fastblackshapes You cant compare thrash with progresive .__.

  • @23ganchos jajaja yes.... But Metallica isn't trhash, in any case would be mainstream,He can't compare Mainstream with progresive.

  • the best song for me of dream , an the solo is like war of joe satriani haha, yeah , but dream theater are awesome !

  • Fantastic Dream Theater!!!!!!!!

  • Second verse if just fuckin nasty.

  • 5 people likes justin bieber

  • @chops066 first learn grammar and then shut up with the little kid

  • the new album is awesom!!trust me!!!!

  • New song - This is life: watch?v=_eenfUsDekE

  • I could have sworn that was Ozzy in the chorus=)))

  • TALLICA

  • I want MP back...

    BTW. the song is awesome, like all DT's stuff!

  • they should make a new law. Never Ever shorten Dream Theater songs.

  • after watching this a thousand times, is it me or petrucci's hair in this vid is only up to his shoulder?

    petrucci's hair at its best! thumbs up if you agree \m/

  • 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.

  • NICE ! (\m/}.(>.<).(\m/)

  • LOUDER!

  • only Dream Theater could make ants look so cool

  • @saintsrown The Prodigy made ants cool ;)

  • Metallica couldnt play this kind of stuff, this is tough eaven for the real musicians! AWSOME!!!

  • @Dargor94 LOL thats hilarious!

  • @jaykayjay2007 What?! You aren't dead yet?! Maybe Petrucci has been merciful...

  • @Dargor94 Petrucci cant waste his time on lil bitches like that (:

  • @jaykayjay2007 You're wrong, your name isn't "Dream Theater" so; jaykayjay2007: i'm jaykayjay2007 and i sux and "Dream Theater" owns this life :D

  • @grs98cxs that was such a shit come back man lol

  • what the hell happened at 3:10? what happpened to the awesome bass ? and why the hell are some parts of the solos cut?

  • @abhimuscat radio edit

  • DT is a metallica fan so there's a little bit similarity of the sound rock n run ...........

  • ljudi su toliko prsli ...sve sami doktori muzike. Svaka im chast.

  • oh yeah this is like metallica! come on! they never can play like this ! never!

  • petrucci se papea jaja

  • They cut the best parts of the song :(

  • 10 people die each time Petrucci plays that lightspeed sweeping part.

  • The DT could put this song in the audition and see who can play the solo better

  • 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?!?

  • THEY CUT A SOLO WTF D:!

  • @MetalliTheater25 Maybe they ran out of money :D

  • What a song OMG pure consistensy & clenses this is that i've been looking for.

  • 5 personas son idiotas ¬¬

  • 5 personas son idiotas ¬¬

  • @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)

  • @Giggstow lol, I actually thought the exact sae thing when I heard it! XD

  • @Giggstow to be honest its only the verses which i thought sounded similar, they are very thrashy. nowadays i dont really know what i thinking

  • I can't stop listening it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i hate how much is cut out

  • 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.

  • holy shit, could this be the first not totally douchy video by dream theater?!

    (fucking love them of course)

  • The video is so badass

  • Dream theater are better,less commercial more rock.

  • they should focus on the fretboard and the picking hand at the solo... so we can see the epicness better

  • 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.

  • @scotty2scoops thats beacause the song goes for too long, the top 40 bands arn't capable of writing long songs

  • Simply awesome...

  • Billboard Advert:- "312/316 people prefer this to Justin Bieber"

  • At least they didn't cut the killer sweep part.

  • Been 2 years since i heard this

    Still fkin epic

  • I'm not a metalhedad.But since I've started listening to DT i became a fan of headbanging.

  • how dare they cut parts of the solos out... disgraceful....

  • Dream Theater is the best proggressive metal group EVER !

  • cam sial

  • did pretucci use the phrygian scale in the solo?

  • 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 They aren't underrated, they're just unknown compared to Metallica etc

  • @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.

  • Okay...I get the shitty editing 'cause it's the single/radio edit. But who the hell makes the solo shorter? =_____=

  • @StripedShirtsSS I do x)

  • @StripedShirtsSS Well, budgets an shit. You know.

  • he sounds a lot like James Hetfield in this one

  • @daewon1100 yea but only like 99999999999999999 times cooler !!

  • they arent the same without MP

  • didnt like this album at first but its definately growing on me

  • i love DT, but it's a boring clip/song to watch -___-

  • Am I the only one who thinks the verse sounds slightly like anthrax's I am the Law?

  • 2:00 F*cke** here F*cke** there!! HAHAHA!!

  • The editing to make this song shorter is brutal

  • i love the mesa boogie tone

  • yeah, Petrucci's solo is hard but what about Jordan's? not only guitar here dudes

  • What have you done MP!

  • this is satan playing the keabords

  • truly an amazing solo

    thank you john and jordan 

  • when god listen this song a huracane is created

  • Epic...

  • 1 Person has seriously problems.

  • never heard this song before. since the beginning it has become my favourite . the duo between the voices of James and Mike is just perfect.

  • Thumbs up for the awesome ants!!

  • John Petrucci is obviously very good at what he does but he is not the best.

  • @Hertsman50 Understatement of the year...

  • @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.

  • I don't see the point. Why the hell would anyone compare this song to shitallica's songs?

    Neither in sounding nor technically is the same...

    This IS MUSIC!

    Tho shame on Roadrunners... they edited the song. And cut a part of the solo :'(

    By the way, kirk can't play that solo even at half the speed.

  • Monty Phyton level of animation on the ants, but who cares?

  • Their songs are SONGS and although they are incredible musicians they never show off

  • great!

  • for crying out loud, why did roadrunner cut 80% from the song's intresting parts?

  • Metallicash's Fans, PLEASE, don't fvck to Megadeth, Dream Theater and us. Thanks.

  • they are the greatest band of the all times!!!!!

  • wagner at 1:36!

  • @daweecool  why wagner?

  • Amo a Dream Theater, no cabe duda que son los mejores, lastima lo de Portnoy

  • Portnoy is an absolute beast

  • does anyone agree this is very Metallica-ish? which i love

  • @TheLedGuitarist 100% Dream Theater.

  • @TheLedGuitarist I agree

  • Comment removed

  • @TheLedGuitarist i don't.

  • @TheLedGuitarist

    0:46 - 1:07 I can even imagine Hetfield singing this part hahahaha

  • @TheLedGuitarist Sorry dude nothin like um

  • @TheLedGuitarist Dude, Metallica is NOTHING compared to this music so don't even please try ;-)

  • @TheLedGuitarist Metallica = #1 Most influential band in the world

  • @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[...]

  • @SpartanLaserCanon Black Sabbath is the #1 most influential band of all-time. Metallica wouldn't be anything if it wasn't for Sabbath.

  • @DimmuBorgirification no dude, beatles were far more influential

  • @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.

  • @DimmuBorgirification Helter Skelter would like to have a word with you.

  • @TheLedGuitarist

    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

  • @TheLedGuitarist Especially the drums:P Come on it's thrashy but not 'Tallica

  • @TheLedGuitarist Metallica-ish? Metallica couldn't play this to save their lives. It sounds Dream Theater-ish to me....

  • @DimmuBorgirification dimmuborgir are awesome!

  • @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.....

  • @DimmuBorgirification The delivery of the lyrics is straight outta AJFA. Just pointing it out.

  • @DimmuBorgirification this is not metallica-ish, but what the hell is wrong with metallica?

  • @MrVargasesteban Apart from being shit not much.

  • @MrVargasesteban lars uses drum triggers... 'nuff said? i think so.

  • @DimmuBorgirification I'm a big metallica fan but id just like to say this band is great

  • @TheLedGuitarist nope it's better then Metallica

  • @TheLedGuitarist as much as i love metallica i think this is way better than metallica

    and i realy love metallica

  • @TheLedGuitarist lol this is so much better than metallica.. and the F# interlude is something totally dream theater.. not metallica..

  • @TheLedGuitarist Sorry mate don't agree... But I do love metallica.. I prefer DT though :P

  • @TheLedGuitarist Apart from the drums are good in this

  • @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

  • @TheLedGuitarist Its more like Anthrax

  • 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...

  • @IratusIratissimus Totally Agree.

  • I hate Single/ Radio Edits.. T.T

  • @RayHaglandMusic But I liked of the solo-surprize ^^

  • is anyone a lenny look-alike form motorhead? xD

  • I don't like it because it's not the whole song. When they cut a Dream Theater song they destroy at the same time life on earth!

    !!!DREAM THEATER!!!

  • yeah

  • portnoy el mas grande papa!!!!

  • no bass solo??? =O i am outraged by this!!!

  • 2:32 cracks me up everytime

  • 3:48 - 4:06 rudess rules!!!

  • Mike Portnoy how could you leave this awsome band!!!!

  • @Luk3790 what? when did mike leave the band?

  • @D3m0n7x 8th september,this year.

  • the voice feel is like metallica on justice for all,or kill 'em all :))

  • Comment removed

  • hey camera man.. jordann rudess plays on dream theater too !

  • ONE MOTHERFUCKER NEEDS CONSTANT EXCECUTION!

  • John Petrucci (best guitar player)

    Jordan Rudess (Best piano player)

    John Myung (best bass player)

    Mike Portnoy (best drummer player)

    James Labrie (2º best vocal)

    If this band was more famous was the ritcher band in the world!

  • They removed the best part before the solo : (

  • Dream theater doesn't exist without Dream Theater, what the hell is going on. This really can't be happening

  • why do they always cut parts out of the songs :(((

  • Fucking awesome, but, why Jordan and Myung hardly appear in the scenes? Seriously, this is ridiculous...

  • metallica??

  • @TheMikemx Metallica ... with Keys !!! Vocals sound very Hetfield ... Listen this band for the first time . Great musicians !!... but too technical perhaps

  • The best part (just before the solo) had been removed !!! That's unacceptable....

  • i remember when i heard this song for the first time

    i couldn't understand what was happening but i totally loved it

    now i'm a musician and i still loving it but now i know the they are maybe the most talented band ever walked the earth

  • 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.

  • Comment removed

  • because its cut short for the video, this version is actually more confusing than the original, brilliant song though \m/

  • hahaha constant lotion...

  • I'm dissapointed about the efforts made to shorten the song. Its an awesome song just doesnt feel the same shortened.
