Rare Dream Theater Footage

[ebasss]

Portnoy mentioned Anekdoten at 1:39. That's cool. Check out The Old Man and the Sea by Anekdoten. 70's prog sound from a Swedish band. Huge bass tone like Yes bassist.

[VoiceOfApollo]

Post the bit of James recording the vocals! It looked really interesting!!

[MrMurens]

Post the entire 14 hours!!

[confu5edfella]

The video name needs to be changed to "A Tribute To Mike Portnoy, the undisputed frontman of Dream Theater"

[AlexZamora1234]

Wth?? is that Jordan with long hair...? 1:49

[pokoknya]

i miss Mike Portnoy.. :'(

[CCTSPORTES]

0:36 John Myung tore Portnoy's balls out !!!!!!!!!

[wseeback]

Long live Portnoy.

[DJ1812]

3:26 ROFL

[56335130]

why's a year 2006 video looks so sad and it's about mike..

[Macdrummer11]

I can't watch 0:36-0:39 without busting my balls laughing..

[adamlutton]

JLB just about had a conniption after realizing he was singing the wrong words.

[guardytube]

Only once does Mike make the horns right \m/, all the time he's sticking his thumb out. That's not what "the face of Heavy Metal" should be doing, how can you fuck up the horns FFS! lol \m/

[MegaNakki69]

lolololol Jordan XD

[CaioLugon]

Watching this after he left almost make me cry... :')

[CaioLugon]

Why jordan has petrucci's hair?

[Jedimax01]

This isn't some rare footage. That's more like an Ode to Mike Portnoy.

[scarred2112]

@Jedimax01 Seriously. The name of his biography is going to be "Mike Portnoy: Eat My Ass & Ball AND PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!" ;-)

[Greekamba]

Mike Portnoy is a legend no matter what!!!

[sapianddog]

Man, what is with this massive trollstorm against MP???

[TheSpirit0fRadi0]

Mike is so not funny he's funny.

[godzillafireman]

But quit is a word mike understands

[KotowTV]

God Mike is so not funny.

[amitbarfs]

@KotowTV

This.

[RikkudoSennin]

"Hey James...I don't wanna tell ya...But you're singing the wrong words..." - John Petrucci.

[johnpeluco]

This is EPIC

[devouringone3]

That is more of a Mike Portnoy hommage. There is no denying that this guy likes to be in front of a camera.. doing faces.

[kamelotian8520]

this is first time i have seen JP being hard with a DT member.. he is from what I have seen, very chilled...

[supermaniaguitarman]

wonder what their next albums gonna be like with portnoy out... i sense major fights between petrucci and labrie

[ichibanhahn]

3:16 dude when he tells Labre(sp?) he was singing the wrong words, and L just looks at him. that was halarious hahaha

[Dieterbe]

SDOIT is my favorite DT album. it has amazingly beatiful songwriting. very interesting to see this footage

[DustinShaneYounce]

I seriously got scared when LaBrie got mad, kinda like when your parents fight when your a kid.

[ZackCygnus]

Mike.



[0neboredDude]

Almost sad...

[Sorantis]

who knew...

[passion4drums]

not really rare...

[kostasmaiden13]

Mike and Nicko McBrain are close friends.....this...i think...tells A LOT about him.....XD... THEY BOTH ARE LUNATICS ..!!!!!

[googhlehmaster]

0:56 pure epicness! :D

[HebbyMetal]

LOL ROFL LMAO this is great!!!

[Z4nk0]

dew mike portnoy =(

[MCAmaZ]

''Soon, it became clear to me that drummer Mike Portnoy was in many ways the spiritual leader of the band.'' Yeah.... He WAS the spiritual leader of DT.... Now there isn't a real Dream Theater when mike is gone...

[deathscythekim729]

This one''s dedicated to mike..

[jimmywacked]

THEY LOOK PRETTY COOL ~TEN YEARS AGO~ WITH SHORT HAIR..!!

[danimal97520]

"uhh James... I hate to be the one to tell you... but your singing the wrong words" lolol

[purooddio]

0:36 drugs kill

[purooddio]

@purooddio 3:41 ... again... drugs kill

[Westeraria]

haha, portnoy is such a rock star! giving the tounge and the horns all the time.

[FloridaLawDawg]

Man, im gonna fucking miss Mike....

[dtjesus101]

Holy Christ PORTNOY IS ANNOYING! I'm glad he's gone. Dream Theater's music has been getting stale anyway, I think due to him and how he oversaw everything, not to mention the fact that his singing was garbage and ruined many of their tunes. Time for some new creativity in the drum department. There are tons of brilliant drummers out there. Can't wait to hear the next album...minus the gutteral vocals. Bring it on DT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Niekpas]

@dtjesus101

What gutteral vocals?

[SicSlipknotMaggot]

@Niekpas I'm guessing the Nightmare to Remember vocals.

[dtjesus101]

@SicSlipknotMaggot exactly, ruined a good tune

[dtjesus101]

@Niekpas Sic is right, not to mention the yelling of "I" in the Count of Tuscany. Wtf? Was the cookie monster the one in the story?

[nekezajebancije]

@dtjesus101 HISTORIAN!

[nekezajebancije]

@dtjesus101 Nah. I believe it's Petrucci that's becoming boring this time.

I'm not very glad Mike's out of the band, they'll change a bit cause of the other shit PorNToy's been doing.

...I hope I'm wrong and they keep on doing what they do even better. :)

[dtjesus101]

@nekezajebancije Well said. Maybe a return to the "Kevin Moore" style of song writing is in order

[nekezajebancije]

@dtjesus101 Hah, yeah, but I bet we could manage that only with a time machine. :)

I'm not sure how Kevin is doing The Shit now.

[danimal97520]

@dtjesus101 Dude your fucking high. Stale because of Portnoy? LOL please. Much as I love Dream Theater, the band will wither and die without Portnoy holding it all together. And they know it. thus the very very long delay in holding tryouts for a replacement. They are hoping for the same thing all the fans are. That Mike comes back.

[dtjesus101]

@danimal97520 Hey I am high right now! How did you know? So they're hoping for a comeback are they? and that's the reason for the delay in tryouts? (they're called auditions btw) and you know this how exactly?

[danimal97520]

@dtjesus101 Seriously? Let's see. Dream Theater's press release in September said they were holding off until December to audition new drummers and that they were having 7 "world class drummers" come in. That is how I know. It's ON THEIR SITE jackass. And I hate to break it to you but audition and tryout mean THE SAME THING idiot.

[danimal97520]

@dtjesus101 Need a damned link so you can figure out how to read the frigging press release nimrod?

[dtjesus101]

@danimal97520 Can't talk right now........too high.......talk later.

[dtjesus101]

@danimal97520 Alright, I'm coming down a little. First of all, what's with you and the name calling? You've called me jackass, idiot, nimrod? What the hell is a nimrod? You are one angry little dude. The name calling just makes you look like a child. I don't recall calling you anything. All I'm doing is expressing an opinion and you're getting all bent out of shape. Relax. Stop with the tantrums. People are going to start thinking you're a big asshole......and maybe they already do :-)

[danimal97520]

@dtjesus101 Call me an asshole all day. Fact is, I gave you the facts. You said it was bs. I gave proof. Nimrod is an idiot. Perhaps you shouldnt act so arrogant like you know it all.

[dtjesus101]

@danimal97520 Easy there dude, let's just keep that anger in check. Now I never called you an asshole, re-read my comment. And I never said it was BS, I just asked how you knew that info. You put words in people's mouth my friend, maybe you should be a politician. You said DT are holding off "tryouts" because they are hoping Mike returns where your proof just says they are holding off 'til Dec. You proved nothing :-) I don't pretend I know it all, I'm usually too stoned to know anything actually

[danimal97520]

@dtjesus101 Once again, as I've said twice before. Dream Theater's official site. They have a press release regarding Mike leaving. The also have a press release that states that they are holding off trying out "7 world class drummers" until December. Do you need the link to that....

[dtjesus101]

@danimal97520 But what's the reason they are holding off? That's what I'm curious about. And I want the actual reason, if there is one, not just your opinion. We are almost in December, so it's not much of a hold off. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Portnoy's drumming, I just don't think a replacement will be as big a deal as everyone is making it out to be. Change is good sometimes

[danimal97520]

@dtjesus101 They said back in September they were holding off until December and that is in the press release. So that is factual and at that point it was months out. They did not give a reason. I never once claimed to know the band. Never claimed to be an insider. I simply did what you failed to take 20 seconds to do.....read the press release.

[dtjesus101]

@danimal97520 I did read it. That's why your comment of them holding off because they wanted Mike to come back was puzzling to me. That's opinion, not fact.

[MusicianofStark]

God damn, as much as I want to be pissed at Mike, he reall helped make Dream Theater so amazing.

[serpentinessarecute]

Ah, Mike... "If at any time you need to come back, all you must do is open your eyes"

The doors always open and our arms ready to embrace you, Mike!

[Jerosifoam]

3:25 Lollergasm

[Thambos]

omg this is so fucking sad to watch....

[daveshaw18]

We'll miss ya mike.

[Pandora0M18]

[dweir18]

[petruccirocks02]

"Okay, so I'll sing it clean for YOU", "I'm not gonna say a fuckin' thing"!

[Timlaare]

What was MIike smoking back then XD,

What a legend he is

[zildjian5o5]

If Dream Theater's drummer was anyone else but Mike Portnoy, then Dream Theater would be no where near as great as they are today! One thing most people don't realise

[hellskitchen123]

i cried when it said "The End"

[DavemechL1011]

What is the symphonic music from?

[shazzylazzy]

you got the shit allriight

[fastfingers12]

Is it ironic that Mike was wearing a Napster shirt?

[Slashe50]

@fastfingers12 It would be even funnier if it were Lars Ulrich.

[Theateras]

You could name the video "Rare M.P.Blind Love" or something...

[ACDCfreak666]

Lol you could just sit and watch Mike for hours.

[iluvsystemofadown]

Haha, James LaBria was crestfallen.

[DefiantDeath666]

The only question that ever matters: Who you callin' a pre-verse?

[Trumavarium]

1:42 Yeah, "Swedish band". Sweden rocks! :D

[JonteJH2]

@Trumavarium Anekdoten är grymma

[domainalias]

[KiiNGDrUmMeR]

Mike is so cool lol

[Gullun2002]

[martindecorum]

[Progenaattori]

[Madhouse255]

[qswplo]

[GuillermoSmyser]

Mike brings them out of their tiff with "we're gonna ROCK, damnit!" then that face. I'l be did that right after he said it too.

[Tom89Wog]

I must admit I'm growing weary of seeing Mike's tongue.

[hendecahedron]

you're right, too much damn tongue

[Darkblood189]

Straining macaroni.

[edthehead83]

3:31 is priceless, that look!

[ryanyunck]

WHO YOU CALLIN' A PRE-VERSE?

[DatKrayzieKilla216]

[fifrenzyguy34]

3:32 - I will kill you.

[dellexgr]

3:32 the face of james, lol, priceless

[mad00002]

Man, he really likes to show his tongue around.

[howdyjesus]

he's got some kinda oral fixation... you seen the spit guards around JPs cab? It's to protect him from portnoy shorting out the system... I believe it happened once.

[mad00002]

Really? Sweet Jesus! :D But I wouldn't know what a spit guard looks like. At what time?

[howdyjesus]

Its a big clear hard plastic cover that goes around basically the whole rig except the speakers. I dunno whne it started but you can see some damn good bogeys flyin from portnoy in scenes from new york. watch it with band commentary and he'll point out all the juicy nasty ones.

I'm guessing it started before they brought jordan in though because he already has the guard in that show. That Mike is a fuckin cannon dude

[RandomGuyBlake54]

Awesome video!!

[trikpa]

In one vid, JP calls MP camel XD

Be well

[Dreamscapevirus]
