Dream Theater A Rite of Passage New Offical Video 2009 + Lyrics

[RockSpic]

Great single love the feeling of this song and for those who says James sucks YOU SUCK just because he does not scream or sing really agressively like in more trendy Cliche Hardcore Metal bands. His voice matches Progressive Metal besides he is the voice of DT without him they would not be the same.

[drydent2]

labrie is an amazing singer

[WarLordMake]

Their new CD is fucking amazing! And i dont agree with estranged. Saw them live and Labrie sang perfect!

[Estranged1337]

I Like the instrumental part of dream theater but their singer sucks so much dick

[Brandon0828]

ok you can go die you pathetic faggot. I hate ppl that say James sucks at singing when he has one of the best and different voices ever. Try to sing like him I bet you get laughed at (even by your own self) So go die in a fire douchebag.

[AlanDB]

q buena rola excelente feeling

[bendoverforobama]

Just Google the trilateral commission, check out their website, and then order their book "Global Governance" its interesting and incriminating.

[bendoverforobama]

stand up Dream Theater Fans , STOP the New World Order! Listen to John he is trying to tell you to wake up, the NWO is on the way and unless free humanity defends itself you should expect a future of unmitigated death & destruction, everyone should look into this. " The Obama Deception" by Alex Jones and "Endgame" also by Alex Jones can be found in their entirety on youtube watch both of these videos, as well as "Freedom To Fascism" by Arron Russo. Also go to the Trilateral Website.

A Rite of Passage  \m/

[josevivo]

did u guys notice that myoung appeared like twice for like 2 seconds? lol

[HDx89]

you missed where he appeared for a millisecond :D its sad they never focus on him.

[the7dreams]

la cagoi como tocan eto wne

[Dmusic1970]

Yeah time is fleeing fast, last thing I remember was listening to 80's rock like Winger, Def Leppard, Ratt, and the changing of the pop music to seattle grunge Nirvana, Pearl Jam stuff that seemed so vain in substance. Then I was introduced to Images and Words and by the time I had heard Awake through 5 times I was taking my old CD's to the used store by the box fulls. Dream Theater is by far and away the greatest band assembled to date based.

[ObsidianSin]

They are getting so old.. ~Sighs~ Which makes me feel old.. ~Laughs~.. I was 13 when I went to go and see Images and Words in concert.. Gosh.. Seems like a lifetime ago!

[pcrobot]

It was a "livetime" ago. xD

[ciccirocco]

this song shudders me... AWESOME!

i listen to it everyday, since it was released!

dream theater in my heart <3

[MitchellBeazley]

awesome song.

[bittersweetskull]

i can't tell whats my favorite DT song is.. that just depants on my mude

yeah i know my english is freaking bad.. don't tell me i already know..

[7SethMurrant7]

well i consider metropolis pt 2: scenes from a memory one song so i could say thats my favourite

[Richerodt]

I agree. Scenes From a Memory was their best.

[it3659]

scenes is there best album, but awake is sooooo close to being better than scenes

[ShimmySystem]

It was a single song originally.

[octavarium2457]

hey i listened in the radio to dream theater plays classical music. if any body knows the name of this project please say me

[everhen]

What does Ripped: Sleeping Sun mean? Still wondering what it means... x.x PLEASE TELL ME :D

[azor179]

it was ripped by username sleeping sun.....lol :)

[Yuadio]

DT need to be on music channels, not seen them on once yet :(

[staikaman]

i saw them on the metal music channel i believe it was 4 days ago

[archie9505]

Freemasons?

[SRAANG01]

The Best of Times is, in my opinion the best song on the album. all 6 of the songs are good, though. Stargazer (cover) is awesome, too!

[sportsdude26]

its "i sense a new world order"

[V1989]

Actually "Since the new world order" according to the album booklet.

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

In my opinion, the new album is focused more on James labries skill. The time signatures are simplified and easier to keep up with so that he can show off his Fucking Amazing singing!

Stil not as good as ACoS or SDoiT. Their two best albums.... But great nothing less

[TyrianDawn23]

fuck i really hate radio edits

[thesharpshooter2000]

it cant be for the money, i think that is for the record label

[CrimsonDrift16]

the album version whoops demon ass..esp the chorus...sooo fukin catchy..

[richoboss22]

prog elements in this song are very few... i think thats more for money...

[petrucciado]

here in mexico new album so vry fckin expensive, ive downlowded

[hfzmu]

Dream Theater, we NEED a video for The Count of Tuscany. The ending absolutely blows every other song. WE NEED The Count Of Tuscany!

[georgebpkk]

disapointing new dream theater :(

[hfzmu]

well i think you are wrong, the new album incorporates lots of technical ability Systematic Chaos and Octavarium lost. This album absolutely rocks. Keep it up DT! the best in the world...

[zeroxrubio]

nah... OSI is better... thank God Moore exists!

[zeroxrubio]

I agree... they need Moore back, too bad for them that he's not coming back =D

[DragonsRule90]

eh Moore was o.k. but Jordan Rudess is way better and more innovative, but we all know that jens johansson from Stratovarius is the king of the keyboard shred.

[zeroxrubio]

ROFL!!! hahahaha... Rudess innovative? he's been playing the same since ToT! omg... hahaha... and Moore is the king of keyboard...!

[Niekpas]

You mean Kevin Moore, the one who left DT because he "wanted to do his own thing" and didn't stay in touch with them because he "wanted to leave the past behind"? That asshole?

[zeroxrubio]

well, that "asshole" play better stuff than DT...

[Niekpas]

First off, it's "plays", not "play". Second, that's just your opinion, it's not a fact.

[necroyoli08]

Kevin is good, really good, but Rudess is sick, Kevin couldnt play LTE's solos

[zegerb]

How do you know that for sure? You've never seen him try ;)

[necroyoli08]

no, but just search for Universal Mind live 2008, pay attention to the piano solo, Ive never heard Kevin play something at that level, or also search for Jordan Rudess keyboard solo, Kevin is great, but hes not Jordan

[zippy2100]

while i love dream theater, i think that their new stuff just isn't quite as good. ACoS and everything before it were DT's best. hands down.

[FromIsraelWithLove]

I love DT!!!

Since this song my love only grew.

Very Pro NWO ;)

[YuffieChann]

DREAM THEATER FOR LIVE!

[mesquivelv]

hmmm kind of sounds like nightwish

[jharrypot2004]

Not at all, not even close.

[Practice9Perfection]

FUCK ! These guys are awsome!. They make by far the best quality music of today!.. I f anyone comes round with a better verson of this please let know!.. Thanks

[beertjerockpiloot]

dude you should do the same that I did.

buy their CD ( ofcourse the 3 cd edition)

because their are fucking great!

[Practice9Perfection]

...I already have their new CD... I meant a better VIDEO version of it... I didnt know though that there is also a 3CD version of Black Clouds and Silver Linnings!

[beertjerockpiloot]

ooooh

alright

[sXeSnowmansXe]

I didn't know there was a version without all three :P

[ironwolg]

yeah i love the 3 cd eddition, it's really cool with the instrumental mixes because there are no leads so they make very good backing tracks

[zeroxrubio]

better than DT? try listening OSI!

[hellshandfull]

are they using the mark 5 here?

[rhapsodyman2]

this sound quality is a shit!!

[SuperMountaindrew]

i swear every single person in this band is without a fucking doubt a absolute genus

[MetaL2669]

Dream Theater just keep bringing good stuffs :D i like this new album and the video is great :) the quality not so good tho. :\

[shadowstab44]

I think that the best of times is the best on the album. It's such a great tribute to MP's Father. Howard Portnoy R.I.P.

[djandal0603]

Since the new world order Played upon our fears Spreading accusations Of radical ideas The brotherhood of wisdom

Strength and dignity Its rituals and secrets Remain a mystery Beneath an ever watchful eye The angels of the temple fly Turn the key Walk through the gateThe great ascent To reach a higher state A rite of passage The final stage A sacred home Unlock the door And lay the corner stone A rite of passage

[Ganjalf1986]

This is the new world order

Plague upon our peers

Spreading accusations

Of radical fears

[LochanaMusic]

mean! this song didn't capture me at first but its slowly growing on me. anyone know what the songs about? Cant wait to see them in Auckland!

[dahakita]

its the same always

the same shit

they have to create something new

[aenava]

Shut up your fucking mouth!

ERES UN NULO! If dont like dream theater.. Dont comment Dream theater video clip!

[dahakita]

lol!! wtf?? it is only a comment, UN NULO jajajajaja, i like dream but im honest :D

and u need to learn more english NOOb :D

me cae que nisiquiera sabes que dicen las letras, por la forma en que escribiste tu comentario ahuahuahuahua

[shadowstab44]

I don't hear anything the same on the album besides "The Shattered Fortress". It's supposed to sound the same though because its a reminiscence on the other parts of the Alcohol Recovery songs.

[dahakita]

ye sorry i was honest but i respect ur likes

[anselmo666666]

I think so too. The Shattered Fortress is an amazing song though. I'm how good it was considering they kind of used old riffs.

[ejgarret]

They used old riffs because SF wraps up the AA saga that they have been doing since the Awake album so this song sort of ties the whole series together

[anselmo666666]

Yeah I know, but the AA saga starts with The Glass Prison on the Six Degrees album. It continues with This Dying Soul, The Root of All Evil, Repentance, and ends with The Shattered Fortress.

[ejgarret]

I know but "The Mirror" is sort of a "prequel" which is why I included it.

[ghaliboy]

Actually - Light Surrounded is the first in the showcase :P

[dahakita]

the first part is gay

its suck (the first part)

Opeth!!!!

[thoth27]

I am thoroughly impressed. The melody was well done.

[Octatheater]

Dream Theater Rules!! I can't explain all that they make me feel, good song I can't wait for listen the new album!

[aaronodemus]

nice 1 icaro x) dream theater rulez and that's all that matters...

[IcaroPaivaOfficial]

Ugly? loool did you know Brad Pitt is going to be the new Dream Theater's singer? Are you happy now?

C'mon!

[53ALTh]

i can see why people dont like the singer, but for there type of music what kind of vocals are you looking for?

[FLECHA4161]

I totally agree!It's SO hard to find a good singer or a nice voice in this type of music(progressive/heavy metal).Labrie's voice can be a problem SOMETIMES but,compared with other voices,it's one of the best xD

[thefranzfrom1991]

this song, a nightmare torememeber and tcot are "nice" anyway i spected a superb album but neeh :( and i dont like petrucci's hair....

[DGBilly]

the lick at 4:30 - 4:32 rules

[StupidQuestionZ]

CHeck out soulbound life or death!

[Dreamtheater0008]

Best band ever!!!

[violadom]

Non si può fare a meno di muovere il collo e battere i piedi con questi ritmi.

veramente bravi anche stavolta con questo cd. E' ora che la rai e mediaset diano la giusta pagina a questi professionisti. Il grande pubblico non può accontentarsi di x-factor, ci vogliono buoni esempi... come i DT. aspettandoli ad Assago.

[maximus83iq]

I'm one of the biggest fans to DT but the singer is.... not fit with 'em

[d1ez3]

ahh they took out the keyboard solo : \

[Terriss0421]

He's not that ugly...

[YogSothothOfGuitars]

who?

[Terriss0421]

The singer.

[throfte290]

fuck their singer is ugly!

[mattliebl6199]

So? Looks dont have anything to do with being a vocalist or what ever instrument you play.

[rudiiwii]

u sucha a fucking idiot

[mattliebl6199]

How so?

[Terriss0421]

Well he's got a defined face, but it's not displeasing.

In my opinion anyways.  Beauty is subjective.

[Kaoskadosk]

Go back to drooling over Tokio Hotel's singer instead then. Looks doesn't have anything to do with creating good music.

[MelodeathAddict]

Metal was never meant to be "pretty", lol.

[daddothebest95lp]

bellissima la canzone.. solo ke i dream theater fanno 1 po' di casino con gli album ecc.. cmq BELLISSIMA CANZONE ;)

[07118200]

sera que não tem nenhum domentario em portugues pra mim ler?

Juninho Angatuba SP

[Lapt3qC3r3al3]

One of my favorite videos:) Love it soo much, and the song...Can't say this is music, it's a lot more than music.

[jharrypot2004]

SO TRUE!!!!

[ADHDforTHEwin]

dude first song on the album should be the single, idc that its close to 17min!

[knelsond]

saw these guys a couple of weeks back and WOW! just as good as I knew they were! I was a little emotional whe they first stepped on stage hehe!

[DarkieBC]

They are so aswome, one of my favorite bands :)

[jeff0192837465]

its too bad they had to take the keyboard solo out, however great video, great song, great album, great band PERIOD!!!

[SentaMentalJimmy]

They need to make up a new word to describe how awesome this song is.

[kraexaie]

illuminati!!! the mob will destroy you!!!!

[FsEtNrDaEtR92]

Lol this video makes the members of Dream Theater look way more mean and unfriendly than they really are. And my face is gone from that solo.

[Thecopp5]

Really surprised of their latest album, it's a goddamn masterpiece!

[jded7]

Dream Theater claimed its spot as my favorite band surpassing Marilyn Manson Metallica and All Shall Perish.Dream Theater deserves the spot they rule the Metal universe.

[Sephiroth3232]

How could you think A Nightmare To Remember is the worst on the album?! It could quite easily be the best one! We haven't heard Dream Theater get THAT progressive since Octavarium.

[Bullweih666]

i love the refrain O.o

[tongax]

best band of the world!!!

[satchimoogle]

dream theater ... they are Gods among men

[bradvssasha]

yet devin townsend is the god for gods

[acmilanfan8]

this album is fuckin amazing...every song is good.

this song is the worst on the album imo, but its still awsome...thats how good this album is.

[mrjigyfly]

are you sure about that i thought a nightmare to remember was the worst

[ledzeppelin7510]

i agree, onlyl with the exception of maybe a shattered fortress, it's pretty much recycled riffs

[evaleet]

it supposed to be that way, the best way to complete the suite was to revisit each step of the suit musically or lirically, like octavarium :)

[ledzeppelin7510]

i realize that, but i still think it's the worst on the album because it isn't bringing anything new, that's all

[TheMrsRocknRoll]

great at 4:05

[illusionfreak]

I think John Petrucci is worshiped in some countries. That's just what I've heard.

[FromIsraelWithLove]

I worship him!!

He's on my hip haha ;)

[GuitarReaperQ975]

dude i didnt know this song had a video...

Dream Theater is simply at least in my opinion the best band in existence. they're music has a style that no other band has the musicians that make up dream theater are phenomonal

[guitarplayernr1]

the lyrics are interresting...

[senecadawg2]

1. Scenes From a Memory 2. Images and Words 3. Black Clouds and Silver Linings 4. Octavarium 5. 6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence 6. Falling into Infinnity 6. Train of Thought 7. Systematic Chaos 8. Change of Seasons 9. Awake 10. When Dream and Day Unite

[Freeman93]

Interesting choice. I've yet to hear the new album, but train of thought at number 6? Higher up! Amazing album!

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

Senecadawg2: A change of seasons and six degrees are easily their two best albums. Then- 3. Scenes from a memory 4. Train of thought 5. Images and Words 6. Ovactarium 7. Black Clouds and silver linings 8. Falling into infinity 9. Awake 10. When day and dream unite 11. Systematic chaos (great, but easily their worst) Plus, you wrote six twice...

[CKjuao]

U'r on drugs

[ZDoherty]

I'd have Scenes over Six Degrees... and move Awake up a few spots, that's just me though :)

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

To each there own I guess. But when it comes to scenes, six degrees and a change of seasons... It's really hard to deny that those are three of their greatest albums. Actually, my favorite DT song is a scenes song. (fatal tragedy)

[ZDoherty]

My favorite's on Scenes too, Strange Deja Vu

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

Awesome. Dream theaters really a great band

[FromIsraelWithLove]

I loved the video - its cool- , though it's not DT a like... Gotta get used to it haha

The music still rocks so who cares!

(( And the lyrics are prety damn good as well. ))

[Firedblood]

Tought they cut it for the radio and tv im sure this osng will create alot of new DT addicts :p

[kevin002blast]

los mejores simplemente los mejores.The best they are just the best

[liger0yger]

I saw them play this last night.

\m/ -o- \m/

[SketchyFingers12]

was it in san jose?

[liger0yger]

@SketchyFingers12 yep!

[guitarralaraja]

people really dont get that musiccians have to make music for them too!!

not everything is for the fan, im a guitar player and after many years i understood that there are some needs you have to fulfill as a musician,

we cannot be playing the same all the time, sometime it's not like " im selling this to all markets"

and if you are musiccians u can understand what im saying.

[missghotica]

thats totally true.

[silentwing36]

This is a kickass album

[DaHouse61]

agreed.

[missghotica]

what a bunch stupid haters leaving nasty stupid comments here..if u think any of DT material is shit go to your room and listen to some paramore because u dont know shit about music... bands change and DT has the right to do it too..get over it! the cant sound the same as 4 years ago..everything changes!

[ShowNoMercy502]

Ah, elitism. Where would we be without it?

Thank you for proving that people are still elitist twats.

[missghotica]

wow another youtube hater! u are proving once again that people like u are so inmature...what a shame..

[ShowNoMercy502]

Thank you for a compliment. I would rather be a hater, a hypocritical term which if we were to use it's common definition you too would fall under the category of, than a musical elitist who claims people 'don't know shit about music' because they hold an opinion that differs from your own.

Honestly, I don't know how anyone takes the term hater seriously. To me, it just screams out "I can't admit that I'm wrong, nor can I back up why you are, so I'm going to use this generic insult" Touche.

[missghotica]

wow..u are so intelligent! ..do u think leaving insults here is the right way to say u dont like DT for example? if u think thats ok i dont have anything else to say to u.bye bye..

[ShowNoMercy502]

Oh? So clearly you know my opinions on music better than I do?

and to twist your own question on yourself, do you think leaving insults here is the right way to say that you do like Dream Theater?

Do you see my point?

For the record, I'm a huge Dream Theater fan. I just liked this album less than the others. Doesn't mean it sucked, just means that I prefer past albums (and before you continue on with your assumptions, I DID like Systematic Chaos and Octavarium aswell.)

[missghotica]

ok so why do did u said those things to me? for the record i love systematic and octavarium too...i fell in love with them with systematic and i saw them live last year..

[ShowNoMercy502]

Because regardless of who's side I'm on, I think your way of displaying your point was very immature and reminded me of many musical elitists I have met.

If you scroll down you'd see I too am supporting the fact that Dream Theater cannot be expected to sound the same on every album, that's the opposite of what they stand for. So it's not a matter of me disagreeing with your point. Simply with how you presented your point. The whole 'you don't know shit about music' is really unnecessary.

[missghotica]

ok then..i understand..u didnt need to insult me to let me know that..anyways that doesnt matter. for me octavarium is a great album and so is systematic..i enjoy all dt albums because there's always something different and great to listen to..and maybe the reason why i love systematic so much is because that was my very first concert and it has a lot of personal meaning to me..

[ShowNoMercy502]

I apologize, you're right. I just don't take very kindly to elitist comments as I find they give fans of metal a really bad reputation. I overreacted, but I'm glad you see where I was coming from now.

That's one of the things that make Dream Theater stand out. Granted, their albums have similar qualities, but no two albums are the same approach wise, there is always something for everyone. I love that there's something to listen to regardless of the musical mood you're in

[missghotica]

thank u. well maybe thats why DT has the best fans in the world..they deserve it...they are unique..

[ShowNoMercy502]

and I have to agree. To be honest I wasn't a huge fan of Systematic at first (some of my favorite DT songs are on it, but as an album I seemed to find it difficult to enjoy it from beginning to end) until I saw them live and they absolutely blew me away with their new material.

I think Octavarium is my favorite though. Tied only to Scenes From a Memory

[kusum108]

their past albums are much betters, then the Black Clouds & Silver linings... I think, guys, this isn't the best what they can. This album seems to be as as a shadow of Scenes from a Memory, Awake and Systematic Chaos.

[pariahketchikan]

the full song is so much better than the video cut

[blazingeternity2012]

the last 4 albums have been pure shit. they decided they wanted to make music that was very standard metal and would appeal to the masses and sell lots of records and that's exactly what they did. thank you roadrunner records, and thank you dream theater for wasting your talent on this bullshit.

[allocava]

yes and may I remind you DT is metal lol. Prog and metal and pure abusive badass musicianship! EPIC SONG

[StupidQuestionZ]

check out soulbound endeavr and soulbound forbidden dragons

[kingofpunk1977]

Sounds like Nickleback or Whitesnake. Very Gay
