@kratos2ish Dunno man, they aren't doing anything that we haven't heard before, I wasn't that excited listening to this... listening to Metallica after all these years is one of a tiny number of bands which always evokes a wall of emotion. Now that's music, this is effectively a demonstration of a bunch of people who have mastered their instrument... nothing more. Yawn!!
can everybody please stop saying quotes for the song or something similar about the ppl who click the dislike button "biaxident". Firstly it makes you look like an attention whore and secondly why pay any attention to them. If we're here then lets listen to the awesome song and awesome band rather than waste time on the dislike bitches. Thank you.
@TheAfterIife why should i not be a "faggot". Why are you hating on me. Are you a hater as well. If so then why the hell are you on this video. All i was doing was saying lets not pay attention to the haters and get on with appreciating the music. And that makes me a fag. Please explain and the thank you at the end is only polite to say after people take the time to read my comment.

Voted me up if you'd like to help me on my quest :)
amazing! really amazing! one of the best instrumentals bands than i hear in my life!. btw the tone of petrucci its amazing... better than the new tone in my opinon
@chainsawvsgod. You didn't get my point. These guys (LTE) and those like them should be making the money, not the Justin Biebers and Lady Gagas of the world.
This song is about John Petrucci suffering from bad migraines and taking the drug biaxin to help him, which they did, but he found out it made him hallucinate strongly, and this song is about him appreciating the bliss it gave him and how ironic it was of him taking this drug he was prescribed, hence the title, Biaxident. (by accident) Source: John petrucci himself
@Cynnicio You know.... I've known this song for quite some time.... But I just read it out loud and read "By accident." I feel lame now that it took me so long to get. xD
Instead of all this jibber jabber about 5's 10's 15's and 20's...why don't you guys just enjoy the damn music? And really, who gives a shit about man made "labels" such as time signatures? Play music how you feel you want to play it, that is what REAL music is about.
@Deetroiter Agreed completely! However, it's not really "standard" to use these timesignatures and throw in unusual breaks with a completely different but still obscene time signature. Therefore it's interesting to note these things since it further proves that they clearly don't give a shit about the hype and what "should" be done and simply just play whatever they feel like that sounds great ^_^
@ 2:15 to 2:31 I didn't know my ears could cum. For god's sake what a bit there. I know I say it all the time, but that organ there makes it so f**** gorgeous.
I'm here to talk about the existence of a brand new musical experience called Idaea. The influence ranges from Planet X, Meshuggah, Dream Theater, Chick Corea to Contemporany and Experimental music. It would be really cool if you visited our myspace and added coments, thoughts and opinions!:
/idaeaband Thanks for the time! Stay tuned for more!
A great, inspirational and so very original as it always is by Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Experiment.. thx for puttin this up, nothing beats DT and LTE!
A lot of parts of the song are in 7/8 and 5/8 and I didn't even notice 'til I started learning it on bass. They throw bars of odd time signature wherever they want and you don't notice because the music just... flows...
@GibzMeDat: Not everyone in an orchestra needs the notes. But they have often to play songs which they don't like. So why should they lern them? Actually I can play the songs I like and for those I don't like I need the notes. It's that simple. And you will not play in a "good" orchestra when you are not a good musician.
I can't listen to this. I'm somewhere in between active listening and passive listening and when I start to feel the music all of a sudden they throw some kind of lone 7/8 bar in my face, and when I start to engage myself in the music and analyze it it's dull as hell. This music feels like it wants to be accessible but the time signature changes are so FUCKING ARBITRARY and SPARSE that I just can't listen to it.
The start sounds slightly Super Mario Galxy-ish xD Yeah, I'm not a nerd, I just watched a music video for some track from super mario galaxy, it sounds similar in style :)
there's something from Hoobastank (Song : Never saw it coming) in this song at 2:05 - 2:17, it's ths same exact atmosphere, so if you loved this part, try that song, chances are you'll love it too ^^
Technically the hoobastank song came after Biaxident, just a precision
@InfinityDz comparing hoobastank to LT... thats like.. uhm... fingerfood to a high class restaurant? Sometimes nice but surely not the same level^^ But i dont wanna be the hardcore fanboy that has to say all the time how AWSOME Liquid tension is... ok one more time^^ THEY ARE AWSOMNYVERSIAL!
I remember hearing somewhere that they made most of their music with little or no rehearsal, that they just made up most of it as they went along. I guess that could explain why it's such a mixture.
These are most of the guys from Dream Theater. I've seen some of their "how they made their music" videos and CDs. They map out the entire song beforehand so everyone can play the same beat, etc. If you listen close, they change tempo and beat, i.e. 3/4, 3/16, etc. and everything in between. A musician just can't "expect" the tempo changes that these guys play...
@lynnugartemendia Dream Theater songs are all mapped out. LTE is mostly they jam and it results in pure awesome. If you ever have a chance to see them live, do it.
@Uhh3000 From what I've read about the project, it's kind of a mix. Portnoy and Petrucci tend to be meticulous, wanting to plot out and compose songs in advance, while Levin(and to a lesser extent, Rudess) prefers a style centered more on pure improvisation.
The "Three Minute Warning" tracks on their first album came about from a dispute in which Levin told the other members that he just wanted a free jam, and if they didn't start in 3 minutes, he was leaving for the day.
Personally, I think they covered all the bases (factors)... Unless I'm missing something (quite possible), the things I find to stand out the most in songs are either one or some of these concepts: feeling, solo, catchy rhythms, overall complexity, and vocals, even if that's not the case here.
@IronMikeDT thats the progressive metal, its in constant motion XD like the DT song XP, petrucci is a master here, on DT he just cares about speed speed speed speed speed harmonic speed spees XD, here he had more felling XD but anyway petrucci is a Faking master!!!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
of course i heard Dance of eternity, what do you think i am, ill take that as an offense to my person, but im talking about the bands, i mean there is a lot of songs of DT that are awesome, and with felling, but in DT is like a competition betwen portnoy and petrucci, first an awesome drums intro, then a mindfucking guitar solo, its instrumental masturbation (im not saying that this is wrong), i think that they cand do better things if they focus on the music and not on the technique part.
The basis of their music IS their technique. How many people do you personally know that perform "Panic Attack", or almost any song for that matter? The complexity of the music and the level that they play at demands incredible technique.
@EsreverEmordnilap yes but, thats not all about the music, the technique is just a part of the big music world, and im not saying that DT or LTE are bad musicians, indeed they are excelent musicians and thats the truth, but they should care more about the other factors that exist in the music,
@DarkArtist Trudat! people are going on about time changes, and while they're trying to pick up on them they completely miss the point of this whole liquid tension exp. People! just effin listen to these masterpieces and stop bitching about time changes and other technical bs!....I have been playing the drums eversince i was six years-old...i don't need time signatures or other shit like that, i play what i feel and what i hear...my music teacher picked up on that, and said: fuck notes! PLAY!
@GibzMeDat My music teacher picked up on how i did'nt like to read notes...he noticed my natural abillity to play whatever he threw at me....he tought me lots of stuff, techniques etc. He was always delighted whenever i came around...we just played a hell of alot togheter, and that's how i learned..to this day i refuse to read notes...i mean music is more than a piece of paper with notes on it, you gotta feel it! Ever looked at some orchestra or band when they're reading notes?! IT SUCKS!
@GibzMeDat When I learned how to play my trumpet, I only knew that this note = put your fingers like this. I didn't bother with any more theory than that, and I was one of the best in my class. Same with when I started playing guitar.
@TheMeaning0fLife Exactly, you either know how to play, or you don't. One can always tell if a musician is a "natural" or not. A good memory is needed though.
Ever looked at a ...let's say classical orchestra?, and wondered why they so desperately need that music on paper?, i mean they rehearse& rehearse&rehearse....that's all they do, so ask yourself this: why can't they memorize it?....because they never learned how to, it's sad really...
@GibzMeDat: Not everyone in an orchestra needs the notes. But they have often to play songs which they don't like. So why should they lern them? Actually I can play the songs I like and for those I don't like I need the notes. It's that simple. And you will not play in a "good" orchestra when you are not a good musician.
@GibzMeDat Nothing to do with memory! Same reason you would have the score in fron of you playing a duet except this is with many many more people and instruments.
@IronMikeDT finally someone who can actually talk about a piece of music and not say something stupid like, ya man after he sings this this gets good. It's like please leave. Eh
@lollerskates1992 You really cant have an opinion pertaining to if something happened or not. Thats like saying In my opinion, Jesus was killed by his father. If they did, they did. If they didnt, they didnt. People need to learn that you cant have an opinion on absolutely everything.
P.S. If you play Final Fantasy to an excess, it's life consuming, if you play it a little bit, like I do (normally with my girlfriend) you can still have a life.

Personally, I think they covered all the bases (factors)... Unless I'm missing something (quite possible), the things I find to stand out the most in songs are either one or some of these concepts: feeling, solo, catchy rhythms, overall complexity, and vocals, even if that's not the case here.

@IronMikeDT thats the progressive metal, its in constant motion XD like the DT song XP, petrucci is a master here, on DT he just cares about speed speed speed speed speed harmonic speed spees XD, here he had more felling XD but anyway petrucci is a Faking master!!!!!!

@abrahamct6 You obviously haven't heard DT's "Dance of Eternity." EPIC instrumental, and Petrucci at his best!

of course i heard Dance of eternity, what do you think i am, ill take that as an offense to my person, but im talking about the bands, i mean there is a lot of songs of DT that are awesome, and with felling, but in DT is like a competition betwen portnoy and petrucci, first an awesome drums intro, then a mindfucking guitar solo, its instrumental masturbation (im not saying that this is wrong), i think that they cand do better things if they focus on the music and not on the technique part.
abrahamct6 1 year ago
The basis of their music IS their technique. How many people do you personally know that perform "Panic Attack", or almost any song for that matter? The complexity of the music and the level that they play at demands incredible technique.
EsreverEmordnilap 1 year ago 3
@EsreverEmordnilap yes but, thats not all about the music, the technique is just a part of the big music world, and im not saying that DT or LTE are bad musicians, indeed they are excelent musicians and thats the truth, but they should care more about the other factors that exist in the music,

@IronMikeDT Yep, throw in some 9/8 bars and you've got yourself a mindfuckingly awesome band.

@IronMikeDT Yes. Yes it is really easy to paste bars of odd time signatures into music that is otherwise dull, believe it or not.

@IronMikeDT Believe it or not, this song is entirely in 4/4. There are no time changes.

@DarkArtist Trudat! people are going on about time changes, and while they're trying to pick up on them they completely miss the point of this whole liquid tension exp. People! just effin listen to these masterpieces and stop bitching about time changes and other technical bs!....I have been playing the drums eversince i was six years-old...i don't need time signatures or other shit like that, i play what i feel and what i hear...my music teacher picked up on that, and said: fuck notes! PLAY!
GibzMeDat 1 year ago
@GibzMeDat My music teacher picked up on how i did'nt like to read notes...he noticed my natural abillity to play whatever he threw at me....he tought me lots of stuff, techniques etc. He was always delighted whenever i came around...we just played a hell of alot togheter, and that's how i learned..to this day i refuse to read notes...i mean music is more than a piece of paper with notes on it, you gotta feel it! Ever looked at some orchestra or band when they're reading notes?! IT SUCKS!
GibzMeDat 1 year ago
@GibzMeDat When I learned how to play my trumpet, I only knew that this note = put your fingers like this. I didn't bother with any more theory than that, and I was one of the best in my class. Same with when I started playing guitar.
TheMeaning0fLife 1 year ago
@TheMeaning0fLife Exactly, you either know how to play, or you don't. One can always tell if a musician is a "natural" or not. A good memory is needed though.
Ever looked at a ...let's say classical orchestra?, and wondered why they so desperately need that music on paper?, i mean they rehearse& rehearse&rehearse....that's all they do, so ask yourself this: why can't they memorize it?....because they never learned how to, it's sad really...

@GibzMeDat: Not everyone in an orchestra needs the notes. But they have often to play songs which they don't like. So why should they lern them? Actually I can play the songs I like and for those I don't like I need the notes. It's that simple. And you will not play in a "good" orchestra when you are not a good musician.

@GibzMeDat Nothing to do with memory! Same reason you would have the score in fron of you playing a duet except this is with many many more people and instruments.

is it just me or does the intro to this song kinda sound like a takeoff of Aerith's theme?

@lollerskates1992 Took me a few listens, but yeah... there does seem to be some similarity to the opening notes from Aerith's theme.

in my opinion, i think they took aerith's theme as inspiration for this song.

@lollerskates1992 You really cant have an opinion pertaining to if something happened or not. Thats like saying In my opinion, Jesus was killed by his father. If they did, they did. If they didnt, they didnt. People need to learn that you cant have an opinion on absolutely everything.
