Dream Theater - PA/sound failure (live at Hovet, Stockholm 2009)

[Cambrand]

"Completely fucked it up"? They had powerfailures, what are they supposed to do about it?

[MrMetalhead1986]

I am a huge dream theater fan but i have to admit that they completely FUCKED it!!!!!!

[McDiddy99]

See what happens when Petrucci enters World Domination Mode?

[FruityCoversLoops]

This is an example of world domination mode

[MrDAVIDEO84]

MIKE PORTNOY CAME THROUGH, LIKE

A TROOPER !!! " ADAPT, OVERCOME,

IMPROVISE !!! "

[MCAmaZ]

This song was too epic for the speakers...

[destroyerguitar]

very good

[shortperson1026]

Someone got fired. :P

[CreatureofMasquerade]

i saw them in 2005 for the octavarium tour and even labrie was perfect. they're so fucking awesome to see live.

[RasecKnarf]

The effect of Petrucci´s world domination mode in that riff

[ConKerDT]

OMG XDDDDDDDDD

[nudle4]

Imagine if Meshuggah would've played...

[SwedishBerzerker]

@nudle4 Yeah... I might just go and see them this summer :P Meshuggah's got to be the most intense live experience there is, musically.

[trickmast]

@SwedishBerzerker I agree man, best live band!

[FiendMachine04]

@SwedishBerzerker have you been to a megadeth or necrophagist concert???

[SwedishBerzerker]

@FiendMachine04 I've seen Megadeth once. I don't really enjoy watching them live because they never play the real thrash stuff like GM/BF, Loved to Deth or their underrated stuff like Mary Jane. :/

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@SwedishBerzerker Thats a really big shame, you were one of my favorite guitarist on youtube. You do realize that megadeth does play some underrated songs at some shows right? like the rust in peace show for example, i dont remember every song but shewolf was one of them, plus they have over 100 songs you really expect them to please everyone? megadeth is an intense live experience, meshuggah is a bunch of drunken idiots moshing and fighting who don't have a taste in real music. 

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@SwedishBerzerker AND if you think them not playing the songs you want is bad, the guitarist of meshuggah has a solo album that he won't release just because he doesn't want to, im sure the whole meshuggah fan base would love to hear it but he decides he'll be a douche and keep it to himself. THAT is something to complain about, the real shame is that you actually like them, theyre one of the most uncreative untalented bands ive ever heard, the obsession everyone has with them makes no sense.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Hatesmonkeys666 You seem to know a lot, so you've got to be aware of the fact that Meshuggah brought polymeters into metal right? They're one of the most influential bands of the 20th century/00's. Anyway, I understand how you feel, but you have to listen to them a lot to appreciate them. Start with their old stuff, like "Future Breed Machine", it's pretty thrashy. Uncreative? Get out of here, they're the most original band I know of - that's why so many are influenced by them.

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@SwedishBerzerker I highly doubt that, it doesnt make sense to say that when there could've been 100 bands doing polymeters that never made it big. I gave them a chance, i listened to at least 12 songs and its all the same shit, damn dude i cant believe i actually subscribed to you, i watched theyre interviews too they have trouble explaining something as simple as a powerchord, that makes them brilliant? lol grow up, dave is 48 last time i checked of course his voice is gonna change

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Hatesmonkeys666 Another reason I didn't quite enjoy Megadeth is because Dave sucks at singing nowadays. I've heard he's getting better, but he's nowhere near his youth. And no, they shouldn't cater to everyone, they should cater to the THRASHERS, because they are a THRASH metal band. And no, Meshuggah aren't a bunch of drunken idiots, they wouldn't have been able to play that stuff drunk with 100% precision. Their main influences were Rush and fusion jazz, if you don't call that real music

[Hatesmonkeys666]

@SwedishBerzerker i said the people at theyre concerts are a bunch of drunken idiots, not them... hell i could play meshuggah drunk and i can barely do anything drunk, you have to be joking, your telling me RIP isnt thrash? i don't even consider megadeth thrash tbh, they deserve to be in theyre own genre, unlike meshuggah, theres hundreds of bands that have that sound these days. I REALLY tried to get into meshuggah, but they do the same 3 riff patterns and every song sounds the same.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Hatesmonkeys666 you're a narrow-minded idiot.

[FiendMachine04]

@SwedishBerzerker i wasnt gona reply because of that stupid ass comment but you really are just a meshuggah fanboy. they arent influenced by jazz or metal(look up interviews). they talk shit about other bands when they have absolutly no room to talk. saying they are influence by jazz and rush(awesome music) is completly wrong. oh and calling that other guy narrow minded is just showing me how defensive meshuggah fanboys get when someone questions their "music". ALL I HEAR IS POLYRYTHMS FROM THEM

[FiendMachine04]

@SwedishBerzerker i also unsubscribed to you because of your narrow mindedness. you play megadeth good but thats all you got

[SwedishBerzerker]

@FiendMachine04 Uh, no - Haake's biggest idol was Neil Peart and Thordendal listens to a lot of fusion. He even made an album with a fusion drummer. The reason I've only covered Megadeth so far is because I want to cover all the songs I want to first. I've done some Malmsteen and Opeth too. Good riddance.

[FiendMachine04]

@SwedishBerzerker not only does your band talk shit about other bands they cant keep their story straight. ive looked at a couple of their interviews and the interviewer caught them lying. oh and dave mustaine brought spider chords to metal but you dont see him writing ten albums using just spider chords. when you say meshuggah is complex that makes you look like you dont know how to strum for shit. id love to see you TRY and play any necrophagist song. your arm would explode little kid

[SwedishBerzerker]

@FiendMachine04 Meh, who the fuck cares? I'm in it for the music. Spider chords didn't revolutionize metal in any way, it's just a way of playing a series of power chords, nothing more. I listen to some Necrophagist sometimes, and yeah, it's hard to play. But it's not like I haven't done minor and diminished arpeggios before. I've developed a lot and while I've only been covering Megadeth, I play some Malmsteen.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@FiendMachine04 I don't listen to Meshuggah because they're complex, that's just stupid. I listen to them because I like their rhythms. And I wouldn't say "little kid" because I'm probably a lot bigger than you.

[FiendMachine04]

@SwedishBerzerker polyrythms DID NOT revolutionize metal either. i can understand a cd where introduce some new strumming patterns but 9 or 10 cds of that is pathetic. your probably bigger than me just like that other guy is a narrowminded idiot

[SwedishBerzerker]

@FiendMachine04 I'm not a fan of death core and all that, but a lot of those bands cite Meshuggah as their biggest influence. Could you refer to an interview or something where someone from Meshuggah talks shit about another band btw? Polymeters is their trademark and they have a lot of variation. There's a pretty big difference between "Destroy Erase Improve" and "Nothing". How do you define an idea like that? In that case, you could say bands who use 4/4 always do the same thing... That post

[SwedishBerzerker]

@FiendMachine04 about "narrow-minded idiot" came out wrong because that was the third post I made, the former two disappeared, so it's out of context.

[Cynnicio]

It's obvious that the PA couldn't take the godliness of Dream Theater :)

[MyFallenIdolMusic]

From 4:53 - 4:56 i just bought those octatoms and they sound so bad ass i love when mike portnoy play on those toms...

[TheeOutlaw]

Another reason Dream Theater is so great. They understand the phrase "The Show Must Go On" :)

[taddykife]

@TheeOutlaw unlike a certain Axl Rose..

[hawx89]

Har också fått ett plektrum från senaste konserten :D Vakten tänkte ta det först men lyckades tjata mig till det som tur det. Dock har jag tappat bort det nu

[SwedishBerzerker]

@hawx89 Vakten tänkte ta det? :O

Var det du eller han som fångade det?

[Cambrand]

Jag fick tag på Petruccis plektrum på hovet under Train Of Thought-touren =)

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Cambrand Nice! :O

[Insectamongus]

ruggigt fett! jag stod längst fram och njöt av hans trumsolo när det kom! gick även hem med en av dom trumstockarna;) kan man kalla det här för "Dance of the Drumsolo"? ajja, ett stort ögonblick för mig.

[SwedishBerzerker]

Fan, jag har aldrig lyckats få något plektrum eller någon trumstock trots att jag alltid är näst längst fram (det går inte att pusha sig längre fram), samtidigt vet jag många som jag känner som lyckats med det :(

[Kansaslover123]

så jävla grymm konsert, senaste var inte riktigt lika pga dåligt låtval. synd bara att ljudet försvann.

[SwedishBerzerker]

Synd? Det gjorde ju bara allt bättre med trumsolon och allt :D Jag börjar nästan tro att de gjorde så med flit eftersom det alltid händ på samma ställe.

[jonne109]

Brings back memories :D det var jävligt kul

[coffeeintheface]

haha the mighty Meshuggah riff killed the PA

[labyrinthos1]

Mike always entertains. No matter how much I don't enjoy Dream Theater these days (still holds a big place in my heart though growing up as a teenager) Mike Portnoy is one hell of a guy.  And his personality alway shines through. If it wasn't for Mike the band would disappear.

[bombarder10]

wat about john petrucci =O

[SwedishBerzerker]

The entire band! xD

[Bearthoughts]

I was one of those screaming:"Drum solo!". Although it's a shame that it happened at that part... which is one of my favourite parts in that song.

[SwedishBerzerker]

Yeah the whole song is one of the only DT-songs I really like.

[Bearthoughts]

Jag var där! De som jag gick med skyllde på mig bara för att jag hade föreslagit att Mike Portnoy säkert skulle hålla konserten själv. XD

[jolli93]

skitbra konsert måste jag säga, ajust det petrucci var ju på musikaffären "deluxe" inne i fridhemsplan och så hade dom ju meet and greet, haha jag träffade bandet :D det var fett kul !

[SwedishBerzerker]

Fan nice, jag kunde inte eftersom skolan slutade 17:00 -.-

[jolli93]

aha okej va bittert :/ det var den ända dagen jag faktist skolkade.. haha ^^

[jolli93]

och tro mig det var såå värt det :) men nästa gång dom kommer, ta chansen o träffa dem, det va verkligen amazing att träffa dem :D

[Emrikable]

men vafan :D jag o ngra polare skolkade ist, bara för att träffa petrucci :P lätt värt det!

[TheLesbianFish]

This was just fucking epic. Best moment in my life.

[SwedishBerzerker]

Yep, very memorable.

[NeuroHead]

The mighty meshuggah riff sounds like the intro to "i" .

[SwedishBerzerker]

No far from! The I-intro riff is much faster. But they both consist of only one note.

[MyFallenIdolMusic]

at least you kinda got a drum solo lol

[SwedishBerzerker]

Hell yeah!

[kakgubben]

Jag vet inte om man måste bli van vid det för att vara ett riktigt Dream Theater fan men personligen tycker jag att synthen som spelar nästan poppigt blandat med de extrema andra instrumenten inte blir så megabra, Opeth lät bättre. Faktum är att det var min första konsert med både Opeth och DT :D

[MrPotente]

Lol, awsome, ... a real "nightmare to remember" ;)

[SwedishBerzerker]

Yeah :P But this just made the concert better.

[jerradcwilliams]

et brukade vara. Mike används för att spela ett solo i Ytse Jam. Naturligtvis var detta redan 1993. lol

[jerradcwilliams]

Inte ofta man ser ett trumsolo från Mike Portnoy längre. Önskar att jag kunde ha varit där.

[SwedishBerzerker]

:O Det borde ju vara höjdpunkten i deras konserter!

[Wonderize]

Really cool video mate :D But that is "The dance of eternity" and not One last time!

[SwedishBerzerker]

Oh... I'm not really a Dream Theater fan, I just enjoyed seeing them live. The review in a Swedish newspaper said it was "One Last Time" :S

[SeraphSnake]

Just wanted to inform you, SwedishBerzerker, that when Portnoy says "Meshuggah-riff" he doesn't mean an actual Meshuggah-riff. It's just what the call that riff in this song because it's inspired by Meshuggah. They give parts of their songs different "names" since some songs are really long.

[SwedishBerzerker]

Ah! Thanks a lot man! I have been thinking about that a lot, like "maybe I'm not a real Meshuggah fan if I can't remember the riff". :D

[BarbecueJr]

bara så du vet fick sverige en av dom bästa låtlistorna hittils på deras turné :P

[SwedishBerzerker]

Tycker du som gillar halvballaderna ja... ;)

[BarbecueJr]

tycker typ resten av alla som var där också xD

[SwedishBerzerker]

Förutom de som gillar progg och galenskap ;)

Nej, men jag tycker helt enkelt att Dream Theaters s.k. halvballader är för poppiga. Det låter för mycket som sådant man kan höra på radion. De utnyttjar inte den musikaliska förmåga de har.

[hawnees]

Det brukar va bäst i Sverige. Jag såg dom både i England och Sverige under Systematic Chaos-turnén. Sverige-konserten var femton minuter längre och bättre setlist.

[RevilationGuitar91]

fail :D

[SwedishBerzerker]

Hehe yeah, but in a positive way :P

[dakult]

Haha fail =P skulle varit roligare att vara där däremot :D tack för att du la upp den

[SwedishBerzerker]

Hehe jepp, det var jävligt kul, med skärmarna och allt :P

Jag har lagt upp allt konsertmaterial som jag någonsin har filmat, så denna var självklar :D
